While she was packing up for the move, Li Yuhuan had also sent in a lot of resumés. Many companies had extended their olive branches to her,undoubtedly interested in her achievements abroad. However, after Li Yuhuan talked to them, she found that the concept they were going for was completely different from hers. The projects they offered were mainly third-rated films with no defined plot. She doesn’t like this kind of film. Just because a movie revolved around sex doesn’t mean it’s erotic.

Even though she hadn’t found a suitable job yet, Li Yuhuan did not idle around. She took on the editing work from New York. So for the past several days, she spent most of her mornings editing and most of her evenings watching dramas. It might be a boring life to some people, but to her, she considered it fulfilling and satisfying.

And if she hadn’t met the Lei family during one of her shopping trips, she would have forgotten that she was already married.

From afar, she could see Lin Rou standing in front of the mirror trying on some clothes while an older woman, she recognized as her mother-in-law, Yunzhi, was standing on the side, seemingly giving the young girl some advice.

Song Ran, who had accompanied her, gloomily said, “Your mother-in-law seems to love Lin Rou a lot. On your wedding day, while you and Lei Hanping were busy toasting with the guests, I saw her abruptly leave her seat with tear-stained cheeks. It was your mother-in-law who went after her. Do you think she has a thing for your husband? Why would she cry on your wedding day anyway?”

“Maybe she was touched,” Li Yuhuan smiled and turned around to walk towards the elevator.

“Aren’t you going over to say hello?” Song Ran grabbed her arm and headed straight to the store, “I think Lin Rou already saw us anyway. If you don’t go over and say hello, she might say something to your mother-in-law. Let’s go. I’ll even accompany you to meet her!”

Right at that moment, Yun Zhi also noticed her from a distance. She immediately turned her attention to Li Yuhuan and pulled her to the rest area to sit down and chat.

Yun Zhi and Li Yuhuan were talking and laughing when Lin Rou came out of the store. Her face immediately darkened.

When Song Ran noticed Lin Rou’s dejected look, she knew her guess was pretty spot on the mark.

“You should visit the Lei family more often in the future,” Song Ran advised her after they parted ways with Yun Zhi. “There’s something wrong with that Lin Rou girl. She looks at you as if you’re her love rival. And don’t tell me that she and Lei Hanping are just close siblings. I won’t believe you,” Song Ran continued.

Li Yuhuan decided it was futile to hide it, “Lin Rou likes Fourth Brother,” She said as she put the flowers she had just bought into the trunk.

“I knew it! See, I told you something is going on with that girl! ” Then Song Ran’s attitude became serious. A look in her eyes that seemed to say she had experienced something similar in the past, “I’m skilled at spotting mistresses. As soon as I laid my eyes on her, I could immediately tell that something was wrong with Lin Rou. But… I know Lei Hanping is a good man. He does see Lin Rou’s feelings for him, right?”

“Fourth Brother told me not to bother with her,” Li Yu replied with a smile.

“That won’t do either. I’m telling you, when Lei Hanping comes back, you have to make it clear to him that he has to cut off all ties with that woman. Who knows what kind of demon she will become in the future?” Song Ran doesn’t like two-faced women like Lin Rou, who pretended to be weak in front of others to gain something. Fake people like her love to cause disputes in other people’s life.

Li Yuhuan nodded. Deep down, she didn’t take Lin Rou too seriously. She and Lei Hanping were just a contract couple. They were not even legally married.

There were some things that she didn’t need to care about.

…

Half a month later, Li Yuhuan received an email from a film company that was interested in working with her. They told her they wanted to discuss the plans with her next Monday. And they sound very sincere.

So on Monday, Li Yuhuan deliberately chose a work style outfit before leaving. She wore a caramel coat with a pencil skirt that went past her knees. Her long hair was tied up, opting for a lazy-casual look. She sprayed a little perfume on her wrist and didn’t wear any accessories on her slender neck. Her bag was also a relatively low-key and niche brand. After she was done, Li Yuhuan checked herself in front of the mirror to make sure that there was nothing out of place before she took her car keys and left.

Li Yuhuan bought a white Audi after moving to Xiang City, hoping she wouldn’t be too conspicuous. It only took twenty minutes to get from her residence to the company. Even with the traffic, she managed to arrive in less than half an hour. The distance was still acceptable. Li Yuhuan thought that if the discussion today goes well, she might want to work with them. However, when the conversation with the other party went too smoothly, Li Yuhuan became suspicious. A strange yet familiar male silhouette appeared in her mind.

‘Could it be him?’

Li Yuhuan politely interrupted the interviewer and asked, “May I ask if Shen Ang is here?”

When the interviewer heard the name, he was stunned.

A few minutes later, Li Yuhuan knocked on Angfan Films’ president’s office and entered. The first thing she saw was the bright light coming from the windows, casting a shadow over the slender figure standing by the window.
