Chapter 149 - 144: The Female Supporting Character of the Spiritual Spring Space
"Auntie, our production team really has the utmost sincerity in wanting to rent your inn for filming. Is there really no way you can accommodate us?" Lian Lan showed her usual pitiful and vulnerable expression again. She didn’t know when it started, but whenever she asked for a favor, she would intentionally put on this aggrieved look as if anyone who refused her was being heartless.
"Ye Zi, I’m begging you, this play is really important to me, you don’t want to see me let down the director, right?" Seeing Madam Shen frowning, Lian Lan turned her persuasive efforts to Ye Qiu, "Even if you don’t treat me as a friend, can you please consider this as a last request from a classmate? Please help me convince Auntie!"
Lian Lan’s words were almost tantamount to morally blackmailing Ye Qiu. If Ye Qiu helped her, it would merely be out of classmate camaraderie. If not, it meant Ye Qiu was heartless and cruel, making it a lose-lose situation.
Listening to this, Ye Qiu suddenly laughed. When she wasn’t smiling, she resembled a reclusive fairy, beautiful but untouchable, causing the tourists who had just entered the inn to be astonished by this family’s beauty. The other three were all right, often smiling, but Ye Qiu, although gentle in demeanor, was never seen with much emotional fluctuation.
Therefore, her smile was so stunning that all the tourists present couldn’t snap out of it. My god! She’s too beautiful! There were often posts on Weibo exalting how pretty various young actresses were, but in their view, none compared to even a tenth of this young proprietress. She was the epitome of natural beauty, a true Heavenly Immortal. If she became a celebrity, she would definitely become a sensation.
In comparison, the classmate beside the young proprietress, who was to be the actress, appeared quite plain.
"Lian Lan, you clearly knew that we had rejected your production team’s assistant director from the get-go. But the way you just spoke, it sounded like you promised the director that you would persuade us? You didn’t know this inn was family-run by us before you came here, so why were you so confident?" Ye Qiu asked with a faint smile.
"I..." Lian Lan was at a loss for words.
Ye Qiu continued, "Just like that time you borrowed my Jade Pendant as a prop for the production, you knew very well it was a keepsake from my grandfather, yet you promised the director you could borrow it before getting my permission. I trusted you because you were my classmate and good friend, so I lent it to you, but what happened in the end? You assured me you would return it in perfect condition, yet it ended up broken. Now it’s the same situation, so why should I believe you?"
