Xu Yan was eating snacks in the lounge, watching dramas, and fell asleep at some point.

Lin Xiao came in and saw Xu Yan curled up on the bed.

The golden sunset outside the window fell on her, covering her whole body with a soft light.

Lin Xiao walked over, squatted down, and looked at Xu Yan's peaceful sleeping face.

He couldn't help but reach out and stir up the broken hair on her forehead.

Xu Yan was a light sleeper and was not in a familiar environment. When Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, she felt something.

When the hair on her forehead was moved, she opened her eyes and met Lin Xiao's eyes.

Xu Yan sat up and looked at Lin Xiao: "How long have I been sleeping?" She stretched and looked out the window again.

"You can go back." Lin Xiao said.

Xu Yan picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was past five pm.

"I'm going to touch up my makeup." Xu Yan got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom.

Looking at the red marks on the side of her face in the mirror, Xu Yan rubbed her face.

Although she didn't sleep for long, she still had a dream. She fell from a building and her body hit the ground hard, which really hurt her heart.

Xu Yan pinched her arm. It was still intact, and the bones inside had not been torn apart by the fall.

"What are you thinking about?" In the car, Lin Xiao looked at Xu Yan thoughtfully.

Xu Yan looked back at Lin Xiao and smiled: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what to eat tonight."

Lin Xiao stared at Xu Yan's eyes as she spoke. Her appearance just now was completely reflected in his eyes through the car window.

That wasn't a reaction of wanting to eat. Xu Yan was hiding something from him and didn't want him to know.

It's very uncomfortable to feel like this kind of thing is out of control, especially if this person is Xu Yan.

But Lin Xiao saw that she didn't want to say anything and didn't ask any more questions. But not asking didn't mean she didn't care. Xu Yan would always find a way to know if she didn't tell her.

"Zhizhi, there is a cocktail party the day after tomorrow. When you finish filming, I will ask the driver to pick you up." The agent walked up to Zhao Zhizhi who was putting on makeup.

Zhao Zhizhi was confused: "A cocktail party?"

The agent said: "Yes, Mr. Shen personally arranged it. This is not an ordinary cocktail party. Many celebrities, superstars, and film and television investment bosses will attend. You can take the opportunity to expand your network."

Zhao Zhizhi did not reply, and her manager continued: "Mr. Shen is so kind to you, allowing you to attend such an important cocktail party."

"What do you mean by this?" Zhao Zhizhi frowned slightly.

Seeing her misunderstanding, the manager quickly explained: "I didn't say anything bad about you, but you are still a newcomer. I am not targeting you. Generally, newcomers cannot get tickets for this kind of reception, so it is enough to show Mr. Shen's attitude towards you." How much do you value it?”

Zhao Zhizhi relaxed his brows, and joy flashed across his face.

-

Zhao Zhizhi was wearing a high-definition skirt, holding a red wine glass, and looking at the people around her who usually had difficulty even meeting each other.

Now, she was in the same room with them. She was just a little-known actor, and she was already able to participate in such gatherings.

When she becomes a big star in the future, she will be the one who is praised by all the stars.

"Oops!" Zhao Zhizhi suddenly exclaimed, bumping into someone, and some of the red wine in his hand spilled from the glass.

"Sorry." Zhao Zhizhi glanced at the person she hit, a girl in her twenties with exquisite makeup.

The girl glared at Zhao Zhizhi with an angry look: "You don't have eyes, you bump into people."

The girl's voice was a little loud, attracting the attention of many people around her.

Zhao Zhizhi felt embarrassed when those people stared at her, and her eyes on the girl became unkind.

"I have already apologized to you, why are you so aggressive?" Zhao Zhizhi said neither humble nor overbearing.

The girl was surprised and looked at Zhao Zhizhi as if she were looking at a fool.

"Hmph, you hit me and said I was aggressive. What's your name?" the girl said.

"My name is Zhao Zhizhi."

"Okay, Miss Zhao, I won't embarrass you. You compensate me for the dress. Forget about today's incident. I accept your apology. You compensate for my skirt and we will be clear." The girl said.

"Pay for your skirt?" Zhao Zhizhi took a look at the girl's skirt. Although he couldn't see the brand, his identity must be not simple to be able to participate in this cocktail party. This skirt shouldn't be cheap either.

"Why, if you get into trouble, you can just say sorry and it will be over. Things in this world are too easy." The girl's face turned cold when she said this.

"I didn't say I wouldn't pay compensation. Just tell me how much it will cost." Zhao Zhizhi gritted her teeth and said.

"Eight million." The girl said a number.

"Eight million? A skirt?" Zhao Zhizhi could hardly hold the wine glass in her hand. She took two steps back unconsciously out of surprise.

"What, you don't want to compensate?" The girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

"How can it be so expensive? It's just a skirt." Zhao Zhizhi felt that this girl must be blackmailing her. What kind of skirt costs 8 million.

She went shopping with Xu Yan two days ago and bought a few clothes for more than one million yuan, which opened her eyes.

The dress she was wearing was also high-end and only cost tens of thousands of yuan.

"Hmph!" The girl heard Zhao Zhizhi's question and snorted coldly: "My dress is handmade in Italy. It is the only one in the world. You think it is a bargain on you."

Zhao Zhizhi's face turned red. Firstly, she was humiliated by the girl's words, and secondly, with her current financial ability, she could not afford to pay.

However, if she directly said that she couldn't afford the compensation, the girl didn't know what she would say to humiliate her.

Just when things were about to reach a deadlock, a voice broke the deadlock.

"Zhizhi?"

Zhao Zhizhi heard the sound and looked over, and Xu Yan's figure appeared not far away.

With a graceful figure, a face worthy of a celebrity, and a calm and unhurried temperament, Xu Yan walked over with a smile.

"It's really you, I thought I saw it wrong." Xu Yan walked closer and looked at Zhao Zhizhi and said.

At this moment, no matter how much Zhao Zhizhi hated Xu Yan, it was as if she saw a life-saving straw. She didn't have eight million, but for Xu Yan now, this little money was just a piece of cake for her.

"Yanyan." Zhao Zhizhi looked a little panicked.

Xu Yan could tell at a glance: "What's wrong?"

"I accidentally bumped into her, but she asked me to pay 8 million." Zhao Zhizhi's words were ambiguous. People who didn't know the inside story would think that the other party was trying to cheat.

The girl also heard what Zhao Zhizhi said. She was not a fool and immediately said angrily: "What do you mean by this? Do you mean that I am blackmailing you?"

Zhao Zhizhi shrank and hid behind Xu Yan.

When the girl saw it, she was furious and looked at Xu Yan: "Who are you?"

"Hello, my name is Xu Yan." Xu Yan said.

When the girl heard her name, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Yan. The anger on her face gradually dissipated, replaced by curiosity: "Your name is Xu Yan? Do you know Lin Xiao?"

Xu Yan nodded: "I know, I'm sorry, my friend was reckless and soiled your clothes. She will compensate you, but I don't know if the amount of compensation can still be discussed?"

The girl did not answer Xu Yan's question, but said: "It's you!"

Xu Yan asked back: "Do you know me?"

The girl said: "It doesn't count as we know each other. I heard someone say that my name is Qi Xinyue and Qi Yun is my brother."

"Miss Qi, I wonder if we can discuss the compensation again." Xu Yan asked.

"Are you friends?" Qi Xinyue asked, looking between Zhao Zhizhi and Xu Yan.

Xu Yan said: "Yes, we are friends."

The girl thought for a moment and said, "In that case, for Lin Xiao's sake, forget it."

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this bad?"

Qi Xinyue said: "It's just a skirt. Why don't you tell me how you got together with Lin Xiao? I'm really curious."

Xu Yan looked at the girl with a gossipy face: "Curious?"

"No, don't worry. I'm going to change some clothes and find you later." After Qi Xinyue finished speaking, she waved her hand, picked up her skirt, and turned to leave.

After the people left, Xu Yan looked back at Zhao Zhizhi. Zhao Zhizhi now looked gloomy and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Before Xu Yan could speak, Zhao Zhizhi spoke first: "Yanyan, why did you say that?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Yan pretended not to understand.

Zhao Zhizhi gritted her teeth and said, "Why do you have to bargain with her? Do you know that this is very embarrassing?"

"Embarrassed? Do you really want to compensate her eight million? Do you have so much money?" Xu Yan asked.

Zhao Zhizhi blurted out: "I don't have it, haven't you? You bought a necklace for more than 10 million, can't you afford 8 million?" in a matter-of-fact tone.

Xu Yan looked surprised: "Zhizhi, how can you think like this? How did you become like this?"

Xu Yan's question came out, and with the expression on her face, Zhao Zhizhi finally came to her senses and was shocked to realize what she had said.

She immediately regretted it, then she lowered her head and was about to cry: "Yanyan, I didn't mean that. That girl was aggressive just now and obviously looked down on me. I just don't want to accept it. I just don't want to be humiliated. Yanyan, you can understand me. Isn’t it?”

Xu Yan looked at the tears in the corners of Zhao Zhizhi's eyes. If the situation wasn't wrong, she would really want to applaud Zhao Zhizhi.

How did he do it? His emotions changed in a second. He was angry just now, but instantly turned into grievance.

Xu Yan sighed and said: "Zhizhi, I knew you were just angry for a moment. I can understand you. You are not that kind of person. Fortunately, you don't have to pay money now. You don't have to worry anymore. Stop crying. , the makeup is all gone.”

"Yanyan!" Zhao Zhizhi's eyes were filled with emotion.

"Go to the dressing room and tidy up. You are a big star in the future." Xu Yan said comfortingly.

Zhao Zhizhi left, Xu Yan turned around to leave, but almost bumped into someone.

But she was not careful, and the person she almost bumped into was intentional. After all, she had just been standing there, and unless someone had no eyes, they would just bump into her blankly.

"Yanyan."

Xu Yan looked at Shen Yu's familiar face, the appearance that she was once so obsessed with, but now it just felt fake.
