Chapter 818: Screening Ceremony

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

About half a month had passed since the filming ended. The editing and post-production of the movie had been completed. Director Chen had informed the main actors and invited them to attend the screening ceremony.

“I heard from Sister He that Li Yue has taken the initiative to reject a few more appointments in order to attend the screening ceremony.” Sister Xia told Jiang Yu about the things that she had heard about Li Yue recently as she was selecting dresses for Jiang Yu.

“Advertisers have a good temper too.” Jiang Yu felt that Li Yue’s actions were a little laughable. “Under the circumstances where there are appointments, she can choose not to come.”

“That’s what they all say, but Li Yue just insists on going her own way. No matter who tries to persuade her, it’s useless.” Sister Xia could somewhat understand Sister He’s helplessness now. At the same time, she was glad that Jiang Yu did not become like Li Yue.

“I remember a long time ago, Li Yue’s management company even took responsibility for her. But now that Li Yue is doing this, isn’t she waiting to disappoint her management company?” Jiang Yu was puzzled.

“The more unwilling a person is to lose something, the more they will do something unreasonable,” Sister Xia said, “First, she was unwilling to lose Mo Long. Then, she was unwilling to lose her position as the movie queen. The point is, in her eyes, it was you who snatched Mo Long and the movie queen, so it’s not strange that she hates you.”

“I know.” Jiang Yu naturally knew what Li Yue was thinking, and even what Li Lu was thinking.

She was just unwilling to let her sister be bullied, so she followed her sister to hate someone she didn’t know.

“But she already hates you so much, yet she still insisted on attending the same event as you. This makes me a little puzzled.” Sister Xia shook her head and took out a dark-patterned shawl dress, comparing it to Jiang Yu’s, “Try this dress on. It suits the character you’re playing.”

Jiang Yu had never had much of a demand for a dress, so she felt that the dress Sister Xia had brought wasn’t too bad.

She quickly changed into the dress and walked out of the changing room.

It had to be said that Jiang Yu was like a walking clothes rack. No matter what kind of dress it was, even if it was ugly or strange, as long as it was worn by Jiang Yu, it would become very beautiful and even raise its value. Others would think that it was a famous brand.

“Not bad, not bad.” Sister Xia was very satisfied. She pulled Jiang Yu to look at herself in the mirror and said, “Come, take a look. Are you satisfied?”

Jiang Yu was very assured of Sister Xia’s taste. The dress that she had chosen this time not only fit her very well, but the design of the waist belt perfectly reflected her curves. The dark blue and light blue patterns matched, giving her a unique sense of mystery.

“Let’s go. There are still two hours before the screening ceremony starts.” Sister Xia took Jiang Yu’s handbag and brought her to the car to the venue.

Li Yue and Xu Ye had already arrived at the venue. Yuan Lai was unable to attend the screening because of his schedule.

“Jiang Yu, everyone is waiting for you.” Li Yue greeted Jiang Yu intimately as if they were very close friends.

“But I remember that there’s still about an hour before the screening ceremony starts.” Jiang Yu glanced at the time. “There shouldn’t be a need to wait for me for the things that will happen in an hour.”

Li Yue realized that whenever she spoke to Jiang Yu, she would be choked by her expressionless face. Hence, she turned her head away in a fit of pique and stopped talking to her.

Jiang Yu couldn’t be bothered to talk to Li Yue and walked past her towards the backstage.

Li Yue wasn’t willing to give up. Every time, Jiang Yu would give her such a condescending expression.

Hence, she secretly stretched out her leg, wanting to trip Jiang Yu before she went up the stairs.

Jiang Yu wasn’t blind. Of course, she saw Li Yue’s foot that wanted to do something bad.

She sneered in her heart and stepped on Li Yue’s foot.

“AH –” Li Yue screamed and retracted her foot like a needle.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yu pretended to be frightened by Li Yue’s scream. “What happened?”

“Jiang Yu! Are you crazy? Why are you stepping on me?!” Li Yue was in so much pain that she couldn’t even care about her own image and cursed.

Fortunately, there weren’t many people nearby. Only Jiang Yu, Xu Ye, and their respective managers saw Li Yue’s attitude.

“Did I step on you?” Jiang Yu pretended to be surprised. “Then I’m really sorry! I didn’t notice it just now!”

“You!” Li Yue was once again choked by Jiang Yu and had nothing to say.

She squatted down and rubbed her ankle, cursing, “What bad luck!”

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Sister He could only smile apologetically at Jiang Yu and then left with Li Yue.
