Chapter 98 - Barging In

Ran Xueyi stayed silent the whole time even when Ran Yue came back into the waiting room. She didn't move from her seat, didn't let her eyes wander around the room, and didn't try to read her script. There was no need to.

Before coming to the audition site, she already memorized the whole script and understood how things would go in the scenes. 

Earlier when they announced that they would be changing the audition routine, Ran Xueyi was indeed surprised and didn't think that something so surprising and unexpected would happen on the second official audition. Thankfully, she prepared beforehand and now doesn't have to worry like the other actresses about the scenes changing.

The staff member called another number and another actress stood up and walked into the audition room, she glanced at the people inside the room and faintly smiled before entering the room.

Ten minutes later, the actress pulled the door open. The smile on her lips were gone and only a smudge of her mascara and eyeliner surrounded her eyes, looking exactly like those pair of rounded eyes of a panda.

The crowd was shocked. They all stared at her but nobody said anything to her either. There was no need to comfort somebody inside the waiting room when nobody knew if you would be the next to cry or laugh. That was why, everyone seemed to be on their toes when the staff member came back out and called another number and actress.

Soon, the number continued to roll and actresses and actors came in and out of the audition room. 

"Number 7, please come inside the audition room!" The staff member said loudly.

It was time for Ran Xueyi to go inside the audition room.

Breathing in deeply, Ran Xueyi slowly stood up and stared at the closed door. She nodded at the staff member standing next to it and reached her hand out to push the door open when suddenly, another door opened. 

It was the door to the VIP room. 

"Ran Xueyi!" 

Ran Xueyi paused her actions altogether. Her expression was emotionless and calm as she turned to the person who recklessly called her name out.

Tired and huffing for air, Yang Baihua looked around the room before his eyes fell on Ran Xueyi. His expression contorted as soon as he noticed that she was about to enter the audition room. He was fuming that Ran Yue was right and that RAn Xueyi was really planning to return to the industry without even telling him.

"What are you doing here?" Yang baihua questioned her angrily. "Didn't you say you'll retire from the entertainment industry five years ago? Or are you trying to fool me again?"

The staff members inside the room frowned and their faces turned ugly. Who was this man who had just barged in?

The staff member who stood closer to Ran Xueyi glanced at her and said, "If you know him... please tell him to go outside and not to disturb the audition."

"I'm sorry... he's a die-hard fan and I don;'t know him. Can I ask for you to call the security and throw him outside?" Ran Xueyi told the staff member, who seemed surprised.

A die-hard fan? The staff member glanced at Yang Baihua who was now fuming and red-faced. He looked quite good-looking to be a fan, but he also didn't have the manners of a fan or person who would be acquainted with Ran Xueyi.

"Are you sure? He's glaring at you right now..." the staff member noticed Yang Baihua's glare. 

Ran Xueyi sighed. "I am very sure. So, will you please send security and take him away? You don't want the director and producers inside to find him barging into an important audition right?"

The staff member considered this and finally acted. He pulled in his other fellow staff member and walked to block Yang Baihua from entering the door. 

Seeing that Ran Xueyi didn't even turn her head to look at him, Yang Baihua was incensed and tried to step into the waiting room. Ran Yue saw this and shook her head. It was a silent rule that no uninvolved person should be allowed inside the audition room and whoever was connected to that person, they would also be thrown out and their chance to perform in front of the directors would be lost!

Though Ran Yue really wanted Yang Baihua to pull her sister out of this room, she certainly didn't want to lose the opportunity to get the lead role in this drama!

Yang Bahua, who was now being pushed back by the staff member, looked a bit uncomfortable. After he was completely pushed out of the door and saw it being closed right before his eyes, he cursed and glared at the staff members in front of him, seemingly dissatisfied that they actually dared push him out of the room.

But the staff member didn't seem to care as one of them stood up against him and calmly said, "If you're a fan of one of the actresses inside. Please, try to understand that they are currently in an important event. This is an audition site and no uninvolved personnel can enter." Then, he eyed Yang Baihua an asked, "Unless, you came here to audition for a role?"

The man standing before them has a good-looking face; he has a wide and smooth forehead, a tall and sharp nose, and thin lips. He looked half as good as the many actors in the industry. If this man were to start his acting career, there's a chance he could get fame by relying on his face only.

Too bad, his personality didn't seem as great as his face. The staff member thought with pity. He then motioned for the security to take Yang Baihua away.

Seeing the guards approaching, Yang Baihua's face contorted and turned purple with senseless anger. He had never been so humiliated like this and it was all because of that woman, Ran Xueyi!

"Even if you push me away, I will stay here and wait for you to come out!" Yang Baihua screamed out of character as the guards dragged him away. 

Back inside the waiting room, Ran Yue bit her lips and stared at the door. She heard Yang Baihua's voice and was worried that his anger would be poured into her. 

Ran Xueyi noticed her expression and gave him a sly smirk. Her smile seemed to provoke her endlessly and Ran Yue almost jumped up from her chair. 

However, Ran Xueyi already pulled the door open and entered the audition room. 

Inside the room, there was a long table and behind it were several seated producers and in the middle was the director of the drama, Zheng Han. 

Surprisingly, Ran Xueyi did not expect that her husband, Song Yu Han, would be friends with someone much older than him. Director Zheng Han would definitely look like his father if Song Yu Han stood next to him. 

After a momentary surprise that she unexpectedly got from Director Zheng's appearance, Ran Xueyi immediately acted her character. The previous expression on her face was directly wiped away, replacing them with a cold and dark eyes that seemed to be filled with nothing but darkness and chaos.

The audition scene she got was between the two main protagonists. However, before the two would meet under the starry skies, the female protagonist would fight against the assassin coming after her life and rip their souls away from their bodies with her sword.

This was a very important scene. IF she couldn't manage to pull it off, she would rather turn her back now and hide.

But Ran Xueyi promised Song Yu Han. 

And what she promised him... she'll deliver it with a dazzling performance.

When Zheng Han saw Ran Xueyi enter from the door. His heart skipped a beat. It was a normal reaction when a supremely good looking beauty suddenly appeared before your eyes. Her beauty was so raw and natural that it sparkled even under normal lighting.

However, he wasn't here to admire her beauty. He was here to see how she'll do in the audition room. 

Last night, Zheng Han got an abrupt and unexpected call from Song Yu Han. And the content of their call was about the latter demanding the former to send him the scripts under his supervision. 

When Zheng Han heard him, at first, he thought he was still dreaming. However, Song Yu Han's cold tone didn't seem to be a daydream, but a nightmare instead.

But looking at it again... it seems that it wasn't so surprising for that cold man to demand a script and give it to Ran Xueyi.

And Zheng Han didn't think it was so bad... After all, this was his friend's method to get a beauty's heart. So, as a man, wouldn't it be natural for him to help a brother out?

"Let's start!"

Finally, the audition will start for Ran Xueyi.
