Chapter 96 - Ran Yue's Calling For Help

Ran Xueyi no longer bothered with Ran Yue and took her seat. The people in the VIP waiting room had also gotten tired of watching the drama since everyone already knew who lost between Ran Xueyi and Ran Yue.

The audition started. The first one to be called out was an actress named Huang Luli, who has been in the industry for eight years. When she heard her name from the staff member's lips, she didn't rush as she stood up, she walked gracefully and entered the audition room where the director and producers were inside.

The clock ticked and after being inside the audition room for fifteen minutes, Huang Luli pulled open the door with a smile on her lips. Nobody knew what happened inside the audition room and what they discussed there when the actress performed her scene. And there was no way to tell if she got the role or not with how she wore a standard and professional smile on her lips.

Ran Xueyi clapped inside her heart. Huang Luli was so good at hiding her expression that even she was unable to guess what was inside the other's mind. 

Nevertheless, the moment they saw Huang Luli coming out of the audition until the doors were completely closed, nobody tried to hit up a conversation with her nor did they try to get information about what happened inside the audition.

This situation made Ran Xueyi reminisce about the past. This was also what happened when she was still at her peak. The audition room was an arena where every actress would duel against each other until only one was last standing and victorious. 

'Babump!'

'babump!'

Ran Xueyi raised her hand and clenched it in front of her chest. She didn't know how long she had been like this... Her heart was beating like hell, drumming against her ribcage, threatening to come out of her body and scream bloody hell. 

That's right... She was extremely excited and scared. But her nerves were leaning more towards the excitement that she was feeling. 

Oh, how much she wanted to get inside that door and perform once again!

While Ran Xueyi was overwhelmed with exhilaration and eagerness to act, Ran Yue, on the other hand, was sweating all over and her hands couldn't help but tremble. 

She didn't think a simple audition could turn into a battlefield. Usually, when she auditioned for a role, she was overly confident that she would be picked over the other actresses. Not only does she possess a beauty that is wanted, she also has the popularity and fans to back her up. Not to mention, her family background was prominent and high-class that no director would dare offend her or the Ran family.

Looking at her side where her older sister, Ran Xueyi, was sitting, Ran Yue's hand was itching for her phone so she could dial Yang Baihua's number and scold him for letting Ran Xueyi run around the country.

Where the hell is Yang Baihua when she needs him?!

No, she must tell him to stop Ran Xueyi!

"Where are you going?" A staff member inquired.

Ran Yue showed an embarrassed expression and whispered, "I need to go to the restroom. I drank a lot of water and now, I'm feeling too nervous that I might not be able to hold myself back. Do you know where the restroom is located?"

The staff member nodded and led Ran Yue out of the VIP waiting room. The two of them were strolling towards the restroom when Ran Yue suddenly opened her mouth and spoke, "Thank you, miss. I think I can already see the restroom from here. Why don't you go back now?"

The staff member stared at her silently for a second, before nodding. It would be really bad if she was called by the director when she's not inside the waiting room. "Alright, the restroom is just up ahead. You can follow the same direction and go back to the waiting room."

Ran Yue nodded and watched as the staff member left. When she was sure that no one was in the corridor, she pulled her phone and dialed Yang Baihua's number. 

The call did not connect and continued to ring until the third ring was cut and Yang Baihua's languid voice sounded.

"Ran Yue? Why are you calling? Aren't you supposed to be at an audition right now?" Yang Baihua lazily asked. In his arms was a good-looking lady barely dressed and traces of their passionate tryst last night was still visible from her white skin.

Song Qian turned and let out a moan as she twisted her body. When she opened her eyes and saw Yang Baihua was on the phone with somebody, she showed a displeased expression and sent him a questioning look.

Yang Baihua opened his mouth, but no sound came out of it as he uttered the name of the person on the other side of the phone.

Ran Yue rolled her eyes. She stood in the corridor, very impatiently and huffed: "Yes, I'm at an audition..."

"Then, why are you calling me so early in the morning?" Yang Baihua complained.

Ran Yue peeled the phone away from her face and looked at the time before she said, "It's already past ten in the morning... Anyway, that doesn't matter... What matters is why is Ran Xueyi here at the same audition site I'm auditioning at?"

Yang Baihua was at first confused, then he sat up abruptly, almost tossing the woman in his arms off the bed, and exclaimed: "What?! Who did you say is with you at the audition site?"

Ran Yue sighed. Then she finally told him who she saw and what happened earlier. 

After listening to her summary of what transpired at the audition site for nearly five minutes, Yang Baihua was already ready to wear his suit back on and prepared to leave.

"You should come here as soon as possible and stop Ran Xueyi from auditioning. If she succeeds in getting the role, where would I go? Besides, if she really wants to return to the industry, you know the Yang family will not agree with it."

Yang Baihua silently agreed with her before hanging up the phone.. It would be a disaster for the Yang family if Ran Xueyi returns to the industry. He can't let her have what she wants!
