All insiders didn’t quite understand why Liang Yin would reject Brother Chen’s courtship or why didn’t she even give him a chance. Looking through her resume, she inadvertently had captivated the Great Director Chen Hua’en and took part in her first film at the age of 17. At 20, she undertook the female lead role in another one of Director Chen’s films which won her the Film Empress title and when she was 22, she took part in the third film that prompted her popularity in the country…. Although she had ample luck, it was still far inferior compared with the glory acquired by Brother Chen.

Brother Chen’s first movie was at the age of 15 and he had won numerous awards. His fans’ appeals and commercial values are the highest in the entertainment circle. How many actresses would dauntlessly pounce on him but when it came to Liang Yin, it merely became a verse of ‘He is a very outstanding actor’. Hence, this Film Empress Liang had turned into someone who could not recognize the good intentions of others.

Film Empress Liang simply vanished 5 years ago and her whereabouts became untraceably unknown.

It was said she was disfigured in a traffic accident …..

When Ah Zhao heard her face might have been disfigured in the traffic accident, he empathized with her for a while. He had never met Liang Yin but he had long known her well through the course of understanding. Compared to the conflicting emotions of others around Brother Chen about Film Empress Liang, he actually likes her very much. He had watched her movies. Her acting skills were truly good and she was also really beautiful; an unconventional and distinctive beauty.

He just didn’t expect he would see her here.

In these past 5 years, Liang Yin had completely disappeared from the public’s eyes and truly accomplished the result of no news at all. Many people had probed her whereabouts on the internet, but nobody knew. Unexpectedly, she actually appeared here.

It would seem she wasn’t as hearsay to have been involved in the accident that disfigured her face and could not meet anyone.

What had she been doing in these past 5 years? Why did she retire from public life without rhyme and reason?

“Brother Chen, she seems to be alone!” Ah Zhou frowned after he confirmed one thing.

This VIP lounge is only open to the airlines’ first-class passengers. He came in with Brother Chen. At first, Brother Chen wanted to get him a first-class seat too but there were only six seats in this first-class cabin. When he called to book, there was unfortunately only one seat left. Film Empress Liang obviously was alone. She was sitting on the single sofa with only a cup of water on the table. She would not have seated there if she had an assistant accompanying her.

He couldn’t help but speak when something crossed his mind, “Wonder where she is going and unbeknownst what will be written about her if someone takes her photo..….” His gaze was still on Liang Yin with some intolerance in his eyes.

Zhou Jianchen retracted his gaze with a seeming smile, “You are truly concerned about her.”

Ah Zhou could hear something amiss from his tone of voice and hastily turned his head. When he saw the unpleasantness on Zhou Jianchen’s face, he quickly explained, “Brother Chen, I just remember a tweet I saw some time ago.….”

Zhou Jianchen raised his eyebrows. Ah Zhao took out his cellphone hurriedly and retrieved the previous forum. Zhou Jianchen looked and stared steadily without changes of expression.

Although Liang Yin had disappeared all these years, there were still some fans who missed her from time to time. In some forums, there were some who had even dug out and taken frame-shots of her movies which were all as beautiful as the picturesque.

Relatively speaking, though there were a lot of demons and spirits prevalent in the entertainment industry in recent years, Liang Yin still beats all of them with regards to the index of attractiveness and her acting skill.

There were however people that were unwilling to be compared with. The more glorified one gets, the more enemies one makes. No fans were willing to have their idols oppressed over by such a character, hence counterattacks would emerge along each and every tweet.

Such a tweet appeared for the attention of everyone a few days ago.

“The replacement of old with the new has always been swift in the entertainment circle. So what if one was famous once, you would be obsolete in a blink of an eye. Let’s talk about those who were once famous but are now washed-up actresses…..”

The post was seen as overtly honoring them but indistinctly it was a derogatory that practically mocked their appearances but Film Empress Liang Yin still remained impressive.

They gave her a new tag, the washed-up Film Empress.

So much so that many just followed the trend in questioning her acting skills and felt she simply didn’t deserve the honorable title of a Film Empress as her skills were mediocre….

Ah Zhao was discontented when he first saw it. The ‘washed-up’ word was most dreadful for a celebrity in the entertainment industry as once this word was used, one could already smell mustiness all over their body. He, however, can’t refute this as it is truly brutal in this entertainment circle. Just like sprucing mushrooms after a rain, big and small celebrities popped up one after another. There really weren’t many chances for a comeback after an actress disappeared for 5 years and not to mention Film Empress Liang was disfigured. Those fans that wished to speak out for her were reprised by the sentence “Have her come back and try.”

That was why he thought the return of Film Empress Liang was after the recuperation of her face injuries or perhaps the wound was on the other side which was concealed. If she was to appear in the public eyes just like this, it would be impossible to know what would be written about her once the media noticed her. One had to be ostentatious to be in the entertainment circle. There were always backers protecting a popular figure but Film Empress Liang was all alone and if she caught the sight of these observant people, she would certainly comply with the word ‘washed-up’.

Zhou Jianchen rapidly browsed through the entire post before handing back the cellphone. Ah Zhao was still shuddering but Brother Chen’s eyes were cold with no sadness or delight displayed on his face, so he was unsure of his opinion.

He is Brother Chen’s assistant and naturally should stand on Brother Chen’s side since Film Empress Liang rejected him first, yet he didn’t know what Brother Chen would think of him if he is helping another secretly now.

“Brother Chen…..” He called out to probe.

“Go out.” Zhou Jianchen interrupted his sentence, not allowing him to speak more.

Ah Zhao got flustered.

Zhou Jianchen raised his head and glanced at him with a relaxed look, “Go out.”

“Oh.” Ah Zhao complied and left with the things and didn’t dare to open his mouth again.

It was quiet after Ah Zhao left. Zhou Jianchen picked up the cup of water for a sip with a serene and profound look.

The cup was a glass cup while the drink was clear plain water which was as plain as possible.

From a distance, Liang Yin wasn’t aware of the activity on this side. She was still quietly browsing her book.

Zhou Jianchen glanced for a while before placing the cup down then took his cellphone out to snap a photo of the cup and posted it on Weibo in passing.

Only one word attached with it ___ “Ah.”
