Chapter 473: Chapter 473
Wanru thought of this and felt a craving for a cigarette, but since she didn’t bring any, she stepped out only to see a man casually leaning in the hallway, smoking. Without hesitation, Wanru walked up to him, snatched the cigarette from his mouth, held it elegantly between her fingers, and took a slow drag. She did not even glance at the man and headed straight for the banquet hall.
Su Chen stared at his empty fingertips, then looked towards Wanru, who was already walking away, a trace of deep thought flickering in his eyes... ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelFɪre.net
As Wanru entered the banquet, the atmosphere was lively with men and women clinking glasses and talking, perfectly harmonious. Her eyes scanned the room and immediately locked onto Chenxi talking with a man past his fifties. Wanru recognized him—an authoritative figure in the music industry named Wang Chao, who had significant influence as a judge at the annual dazzling music award ceremonies.
However, Wang Chao had one flaw—he was lecherous.
Many female stars in the circle had fallen prey to him.
Wanru had a decent relationship with him, and recalling the past, Wang Chao indeed owed her a favor.
Niange was nowhere to be seen, and Chenxi seemed to have had a bit too much to drink, flirtatiously smiling and catering to Wang Chao, who had groped her waist and chest several times without her showing any intention of dodging.
Wanru understood immediately—Chenxi was determined to contend for the top position in the music world this year against her.
Actually, Wanru was not one to shy away from conflicts; there was no storm she hadn’t weathered through. However, she had left the entertainment circle three years ago to make way for Ling Momo, and now, whether it was due to long absence from the circle or some other reason, she genuinely felt weary and wanted to detach completely.
If she truly wanted to leave the circle... perhaps there was something she could do before she left?
Wanru watched Chenxi and Wang Chao for a while, her eyes shimmering with thoughts. After a moment, she hooked her lips into a smile and approached them.
"Brother Wang," in the circle, everyone called Wang Chao "Mr. Wang," but Wanru alone called him "Brother Wang."
Wang Chao looked up, saw Wanru, and immediately released Chenxi, visibly delighted: "Wanru."
Chenxi, seeing Wang Chao’s attention so easily stolen by Wanru, was naturally displeased. She picked up a glass of wine from nearby and handed it to Wanru, saying, "Sister Chen has arrived! Mr. Wang, let’s all have a drink together."
According to Wanru’s usual temperament, she would never have accepted the drink from Chenxi. Today, for some reason, she merely stared at Chenxi, and just when Chenxi thought Wanru would refuse her drink, Wanru nonchalantly took the glass from her hand, touched her glass playfully with Wang Chao’s, and drank it all in one go.
