Chapter 374: Coming Late
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Lan immediately recognized that she was the popular female star, Chu Yi. A Xianxia drama adapted from a popular novel Chu Yi was in had become very popular on the internet some time ago, and she had joined the A-list. Meng Lan was a loyal fan of that drama, and she could not help but feel a little excited.
[Wow! It’s Chu Yi! The role she played as the goddess some time ago was amazing! Even my mother loves to watch it!]
[Chu Yi is too beautiful. If I were a male guest, my eyes would be glued to her.]
[She’s only just become popular, and she’s already so late. Is she trying to act like a big shot?]
[You’ll never be such a big shot in your life. Perhaps Chu Yi was delayed by something, and you already know that she’s acting like a big shot? Were you at the show venue?]
[l want to watch a variety show in the livestream, not three beautiful women sitting together waiting for someone who has no sense of time. Chu Yi’s wasting everyone’s time.]
[Why are there people here who are trying to defame Chu Yi? She’s never been late before. How’s this one time mean she has no sense of time? Whose paid poster are you?]
A passerby had just raised some doubts about Chu Yi but was immediately drowned by Chu Yi t s fans. They did not seem to think that there was anything wrong with Chu Yi being late.
It was obvious that Chu Yi herself did not think there was anything wrong with being late as well.
“You’re all here? Where’s the production team? Can we start?”
Chu Yi did not apologize for being late, nor did she explain, as if it was natural for others to wait for her.
Ruan Jing had been bullied for a long time. She could instinctively hear the sharp harshness in Chu Yi’s calm tone. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she did not show it.
Meng Lan was still very enthusiastic and cheerful. She could not hide her excitement when she saw the female lead of her favorite TV series. She stood up and reached out to Chu Yi. “Hello, Chu Yi! The goddess you acted as was so good! l…”
“Are you my fan?” She was interrupted halfway through her sentence.
Chu Yi smiled and shook the tip of Meng Lan’s hand before pulling her hand back. “It’s not convenient for me to sign an autograph here. I’ll get my assistant to send you two autographed photos from the series tonight.”
“Ah? Well, thank you…” Meng Lan wanted to say that she did not mean it that way, but she did not say it out loud.
Seeing Meng Lan greet her, Ruan Jing also took the initiative to greet her, but she only politely said her name.
Bai Lin did not even raise her head as she poured herself a glass of water.
She was the only one who did not take the initiative to greet Chu Yi. This made Chu Yi feel a little dissatisfied.
“I’m Chu Yi, how should I address you?” Chu Yi asked Bai Lin with a smile.
Bai Lin continued to ignore her.
Ruan Jing saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so she gathered her courage and answered on Bai Lin’s behalf, “This is Bai Lin.”
[I’m so envious! Those are autographed photos from Chu Yi!]
[How can someone bring autographed photos with them on a dating variety show… She shouldn’t take herself too seriously.]
[Am I the only one who thinks that Chu Yi is being rude by interrupting people like this? Maybe Meng Lan doesn’t want an autographed photo?]
[What does it have to do with you whether she likes it or not? Do you know how much Chu Yi’s autographed photos are worth? You won’t get a chance even if you want it!]
[Why’d anyone think that Chu Yi is impolite? She was talking to Bai Lin, but
Bai Lin rolled her eyes and ignored her. That’s really impolite.]
[That’s right. Our Chu Yi is so popular. She can’t possibly not know her. She’s only popular because she was in variety shows. Who’s the one acting like a big shot?]
[If you say that there’s a reason for Chu Yi’s lateness, then there’s also a reason for Lin-jie to ignore her. If it were me, I wouldn’t want to talk to someone who doesn’t even apologize for being late. Is the word ‘sorry’ going to burn her mouth? Why can’t she say it?]
Chu Yi looked around and saw that the sofa was occupied by three people, so she could not squeeze in. There was space on the side, but she would seem too unsociable.
She looked at the people who were still sitting on the sofa and said, “Let’s sit over there. This isn’t the seat directly facing the door.”
Ruan Jing glanced at Bai Lin, then looked past Bai Lin at Meng Lan. Meng Lan stood up first and tried to smooth things over. “Sure, the male guests should be here soon after we’re all here..
