Chapter 591: Chapter 591

He Jinxia felt a pang of regret and let her thoughts drift. As her mind calmed, she could hear Xu Xiuzi conversing with a foreign actress not far away.

She assured herself that she hadn’t intended to eavesdrop; the voices just carried over to her, and, having nothing better to do, she analyzed them casually.

This analysis made the corners of her mouth curl into a smile, leading her to an interesting conclusion.

Xu Xiuzi was still too inexperienced. She had intended to charm some insider information out of the other, but instead found herself divulging a lot unwittingly.

The foreign actress, skilled at drawing information, capitalized on Xu Xiuzi’s impulsive and somewhat vain nature, subtly coaxing out many details from her.

Unfortunately, since this was Xu Xiuzi’s first time at Berlin, most of the information she knew was gleaned from the internet, inaccurate and not to be relied upon.

Just as He Jinxia was feeling bored again, a loud commotion suddenly erupted from the doorway. The noise was quite loud; she couldn’t help but look up in surprise, her eyes slightly widening for a moment in confusion.

What was Sheng Yan doing here?!

Oh, that’s right, Sheng Yan’s film "World" had also been nominated at the Berlin Film Festival, competing for several awards, including the highly coveted Golden Bear Award.

What surprised He Jinxia was that Sheng Yan had been assigned to the same lounge as her!

Having been badgered by Sister Xiao Hua’s words all day, He Jinxia, overwhelmed by the surprise, suddenly recalled something Sister Xiao Hua had said today—

"Is this a twist of human nature or a decline in morality!"

He Jinxia, snapping back to reality: "..."

Suddenly feeling that Sister Xiao Hua’s words were very toxic, extremely toxic, massively toxic!

He Jinxia cleared her throat lightly, straightened herself, and composed her expression, reigning in her agitation.

The arrival of the "World" crew made the lounge buzz with activity as many eyes were drawn to the man at the forefront, Sheng Yan, a global superstar and male celebrity in the top 50 of the Star Celebrities List!

He was also an extraordinarily talented actor.

He had won Cannes’ Palme d’Or and Venice’s Golden Lion, both the highest honors an actor could receive at these major film festivals, akin to Huaxia’s "Best Actor," also known as the Movie King.

With these roles, he had secured two major Best Actor awards, formally heralding his status to the world and emerging as a rising star!

It was these two awards that had rapidly propelled him to international fame, solidifying his path as a megastar!

Seeing Sheng Yan now, how could other celebrities not be excited? Even directors weren’t immune.

Many eyes flashed with eagerness, seeking an opportunity to make a lasting impression in front of Sheng Yan.

Some female stars even lowered their heads to adjust their attire, turning around to check their makeup in their compact mirrors to see if they needed a touch-up. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novelFirｅ.net

If Sheng Yan took notice of them, it could catapult their careers!

Xu Xiuzi, too, watched Sheng Yan excitedly, her hands tightly clenched, her heart racing—Sheng Yan was once the man of her dreams!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Sheng Yan’s steps seemed to slow down, and some people subconsciously counted them—

One step, two steps, three steps...

Suddenly, Xu Xiuzi’s eyes widened, a rush of blood to her head, her mind going blank!

It looked like Sheng Yan was walking towards her!

Could it be that God Sheng actually... Although Xu Xiuzi felt that the thoughts in her head were absolutely impossible, she couldn’t help but wonder: Could it be that Sheng Yan really took a liking to her?

The people sitting next to Xu Xiuzi had similar thoughts; they were all looking forward to it, with possibly only one exception.

When Sheng Yan walked over, He Jinxia hurriedly lowered her head and her breathing grew slightly rapid, not knowing why she felt an eerie tension.

This anxiety was also emanating from Sheng Yan, but unlike the other female stars, she didn’t ponder whether Sheng Yan liked her; instead, she hoped that Sheng Yan wouldn’t do anything earth-shattering.

Closer, and yet closer...

Suddenly, at one moment, Sheng Yan stopped in his tracks.

With her head bowed, He Jinxia didn’t see what the scene ahead was like, she only felt the sudden silence around her, and the next second, Sheng Yan’s cold voice reached her ears, carrying a hint of teasing that only acquaintances could detect:

"You’ve come to Berlin too."

After pausing for a while, he added, "Good luck with the award."

He only spoke two inconsequential sentences before turning around and walking away.

He Jinxia slightly raised her head and saw his receding figure, sighing in relief inside her heart—she was truly frightened just now!

She almost thought she would hear some horrifying words from Sheng Yan’s mouth, like an unexpected public relationship announcement or something of that sort.

For the unprepared Jinxia, the shock was far greater than the surprise.

Even the casual words spoken by Sheng Yan mainly shocked He Jinxia.

After the shock, she came back to her senses, finding it both laughable and pitiable.

She gently scanned the surroundings; the people around her were staring straight at her, their eyes dark, like wolves ready to pounce!

From the moment he entered the lounge, Director Li wore a smile on his face, looking almost like a Maitreya Buddha, curiously asking Sheng Yan beside him, "You know He Jinxia?"

Sheng Yan glanced at Director Li, knowing Director Li wanted to help smooth things over for Jinxia. Even a lackluster director wouldn’t forget a female supporting role in his movie, not to mention He Jinxia was introduced by him originally.

He replied indifferently, "Have you forgotten? Jinxia also had a role in our movie and moreover—"

Pausing his speech, Sheng Yan’s deep and mellow voice slowly articulated a few words with an indescribable meaning, "She is my junior martial sister."

Due to the commotion that Sheng Yan had just caused, he had drawn a lot of attention, causing everyone present to halt their conversations.

Even though he had walked away from that area, he still captured everyone’s minds, and the venue remained quiet, so his conversation with Director Li was heard by many people in front.

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and the stars staring at He Jinxia no longer looked so fierce.

So the two of them had acted in the same movie, and they were stars from the same company; no wonder Sheng Yan greeted her.

He Jinxia was seated quite to the front; Sheng Yan must have seen her the moment he entered and casually walked over to exchange a few words with her... Heh, even they who concocted this idea don’t believe it!

The entertainment circle is never a place of love and kindness; they absolutely don’t believe Sheng Yan simply greeted He Jinxia in passing—it was definitely intentional!

What was his purpose?

From Sheng Yan’s tone, his relationship with He Jinxia should be quite good, so, was Sheng Yan doing this to support He Jinxia...?

Exactly... as junior martial sisters, and with He Jinxia recently being heavily promoted by Tonghua Entertainment, Sheng Yan was paving the way for He Jinxia!

Convinced she had uncovered the truth, Xu Xiuzi’s eyes brightened, convincing herself and looking towards He Jinxia with glowing eyes, as if seeing a treasure of a girl.
