936 A Million Times for You 298 (1/2)
An Xiaoning gave her a scoop of chili, and they continued to have an enjoyable conversation over their meal.
After lunch, they bought themselves a large cup of milk tea each and headed to the film set.
By the time they reached the place, they had already finished the milk tea.
An Xiaoning wiped her mouth with some tissue paper and put on a pair of shades.
She and Mei Yangyang then observed the filming process for the entire afternoon.
During the evening, Mei Yangyang said softly to her, ”Sis, that woman next to Yan Ge seems to be his fiancée.”
”Go ask Erlan if she's the one.”
”Alright.”
Mei Yangyang scurried toward Fang Erlan and swiftly returned after getting her answer. ”Yes, yes, it's her.”
”Okay, we'll have dinner with Director Jing and Yan Ge later. Tell Yan Ge to bring his fiancée along and we'll try and see what kind of a person she is.”
”Alright.”
An Xiaoning treated eight of the production team members to dinner at a restaurant nearby.
Xin Min had tagged along too, and it was her first time seeing An Xiaoning in the flesh. Thus, she greeted her.
”When's your wedding going to be held?” An Xiaoning asked with a smile.
”The 1st of May next year.”
”You two are so compatible with each other. You're gorgeous and he's handsome. It's Yan Ge's blessing to have such a beautiful fiancée.”
”That's true,” Yan Ge said with a smile.
Xin Min smiled and asked, ”Ms. An, do you handle your artistes the same way that other artiste management agencies do?”
”Yes, we follow the same management system in general. However, I'm more humane and I do allow my artists to date or get married. Those are just basic human rights.”
”Does that mean you do allow your artistes to make their relationships public?” Xin Min asked in astonishment.
”I do allow them to reveal their relationship status once they're engaged. However, Erlan is currently the only artiste who's signed to our studio. She's at the age where she should be focusing on her career instead. She doesn't have intentions to date or get married for now either.”
”Yeah,” Fang Erlan chimed in.
Xin Min smiled and said, ”It's tough being an actress. There are many who don't get the opportunity to star as the female lead. Ms. Fang will definitely make it big in the future.”
”She doesn't have to be too famous, lest she face her downfall too soon. It's better to take things step by step.”
”…”
”Here, everyone, let's eat,” Mei Yangyang exclaimed.
After casually chatting for a while, An Xiaoning asked, ”Ms. Xin, I heard that your male best friend is the son of the owner of the hotel the production team is staying in now. Is that true?”
Everyone shifted their attention to Xin Min, who was stunned to hear that An Xiaoning had run a background check on her. She answered unhurriedly, ”That seems to be the case, I'm not too sure.”
Seemingly having guessed something, Fang Erlan felt a cold chill down her spine.
”Your best friend's hotel had to compensate us with a sum of 200 thousand dollars because of the bizarre incident of a snake appearing on Erlan's bed out of nowhere. Yangyang and I came here today not only to observe the filming progress but also to find out about some stuff. We want to find out why Erlan has been facing so many obstacles and mishaps lately. I shall see who's so audacious as to make life difficult for my artiste.”
Mei Yangyang chimed in, ”Of course. Sis, you managed to solve murder cases within just a couple of days when you were working with the police in the past. I'm sure you'll find the culprit soon enough.”
Their conversation alarmed everyone present. Yan Ge glanced at his fiancée and kept quiet, seemingly pondering over something.
After dinner, everyone left to return to their respective rooms, except the director and crew members, who had to return to the set.
The duo then headed to Fang Erlan's room on the eighth floor. Fang Erlan asked, ”Sis, do you roughly mean that Yan Ge's fiancée was the culprit who tried to harm me?”
”That possibility does exist. We'll find out tonight,” said An Xiaoning, who sat down on the bed.
Fang Erlan dared not probe further, although she had no idea why An Xiaoning had said that.
