Chapter 27.2 – Gifts

At eight o’clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time, and Su Yan got up without any muddling, then washed, changed clothes, and prepared to have breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant.

However, she was stunned as soon as she opened the bedroom door. There were different sizes of gift boxes piled on the table: Hermes, Chanel, LV, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Lancome, etc.

She stood at the door of the bedroom in a daze for a few seconds before she gradually regained her senses and walked step by step toward the coffee table.

There was a square, pure black box with no brand logo printed on it in the middle of the coffee table, and a rose-coloured greeting card lay quietly on the box cover. She picked it up and read: I went to France. Before I went, I brought you some small presents.

Seeing the elegant handwriting, Su Yan couldn’t hold back, put it on her nose, and sniffed it lightly. She smelled a fresh scent of incense, which was also mixed with a faint smell of ink.

After putting down the greeting card, she hesitated for a moment, opened the pure black gift box, and saw a bouquet of delicate red roses.

Her heartbeat suddenly increased, and she felt that she was suffocating. Her inner self began to warn her: ‘Don’t look at it anymore, if you continue like this, you will fall into this trap! Su Yan, it is impossible between you and him. The gap between classes is an insurmountable gap.’

Su Yan took a deep breath, pinched her right wrist with her left hand, used the pain to keep herself calm, then threw the greeting card into the rose box, quickly closed the lid, and left the empty room without looking back. She didn’t even take the elevator and used the staircase to calm her mind.

The moment she walked into the restaurant, her cell phone vibrated suddenly, and she took it out of her bag to see that it was a WeChat message from Yao Anan. Ignoring that, she walked around the buffet breakfast room, chose her own breakfast, sat down at an empty table, and then opened WeChat.

Yao Anan: [Is this you? [Shocked face.jpg]]

Her WeChat message was followed by a screenshot.

The content of the screenshot came from a post in a gossip forum group. The title of the post was: Materials from the crew of “West Tower Watching the Moon”, absolutely authentic!

Post content: [Lyr, a well-known drama star, brought her own screenwriters into the group again and was about to change the script, but she met a very strong female screenwriter who disagreed with her decision to change the script. The director did not dare to offend Lyr, scolded the little screenwriter in front of the whole crew, and then there was a turning point, a shocking turning point! The prince of Haoyuan Group came to visit the class, and everyone knew that the little screenwriter was actually his girlfriend!]

After reading the content of the screenshot, Su Yan didn’t know what expression to put on, and her mind was in a mess. After being dazed for a while, she replied to Yao Anan: [Where did you see it?]

Yao Anan replied quickly, [My colleague sent it to me, but the first person who saw it was my master. You also know that my master’s greatest wish in this life is to be the concubine of Haoyuan. According to my colleagues, when my master saw this gossip, she was so angry that she dropped her phone.]

Su Yan was frightened, afraid that she would become the target of an assassination. [It’s not me, and I have nothing to do with it!]

Yao Anan: [Hey, I knew it was fake, if it was real.]

Su Yan: [You want to see me killed?]

Yao Anan: [Are you still afraid that you can’t beat her? You can definitely beat a delicate lady like her!]

Su Yan: ‘Seems to make sense.’

She usually had no other hobbies. In addition to reading books, watching movies, and travelling, she exercises in her spare time.

When she was a freshman, a senior student majoring in acting took her to a gym. She followed a personal trainer for the first three years and then practised by herself. It had been practising for six years.

Because of her good habit of exercising, her body fat percentage was low, her muscle content was high, and her basal metabolism was also fast. No matter how much she ate, she didn’t get fat. However, working out all year did not mean that she would fight. She had never fought with others since she was a child.

Su Yan: [Whether I can beat her and whether I want to be beaten are two issues? I’m still worried that your master will hire someone to assassinate me!]

Yao Anan comforted her friend. [Don’t worry, she didn’t take it seriously at all, how could she hire someone to assassinate you?]

Su Yan wondered. [Since she knows it’s fake, why is she so angry?]

Yao Anan: [Because she’s out of balance, someone made up the rumours about Bai Xingfan and an unknown little screenwriter, no one made rumours about her, the popular little flower and Bai Xingfan.]

In her words, she did not mean to mock Su Yan’s low status, she simply mocked her master’s heart, which was higher than the sky and thinner than paper.

Su Yan could also understand that Yao Anan had no ill intentions towards her, but this sentence still hurt her involuntarily.

Everyone could see that it was impossible for an unknown junior screenwriter to be with Bai Xingfan, even if the person who broke the news told the truth, no one would believe it, because it was impossible for Bai Xingfan to fall in love with a small screenwriter, and a small screenplay was not worthy of Bai Xingfan.

Because of this, she was no longer flustered, and she stopped daydreaming. After exiting the dialogue box with Yao Anan, she clicked on the dialogue box with Bai Xingfan and sent him a message. [I’ll return the gifts to you, and don’t give them to me again in the future.]
