My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 825

Nan Chen was pretty shocked, as Ning Ran had never yelled at him before.

No one had the courage to raise their voice at him due to his status, so he felt extremely unsettled after being shouted at.

Nan Chen pulled over and glanced at Ning Ran.

They were both furious, so it was pointless to communicate now.

Trying to communicate now would only serve to increase their fury.

Ning Ran grabbed her bag, got out of the car, and hailed a taxi in a huff.

After getting into the taxi, Ning Ran got more furious as she pondered over the matter.

I can't believe he didn't have time to pick up his kids but could spare time to pick up that woman!

Judging from the way the woman talked to Nan Chen, Ning Ran couldn't bring herself to believe that the woman had no connection with him.

Well, well. Right after Ouyang Qing entered prison, another woman named Zhiyi made her appearance!

Upon arrival at Star Entertainment, Ning Ran got out and composed herself. She didn't want anyone to

realize that she was upset.

Wang Xiaoou and Cheng Xiangyun were discussing related matters as they waited for her.

Cheng Xiangyun was familiar with Ning Ran, so she immediately knew the latter wasn't in a good mood.

“We'll start filming right after meeting up with the production crew. You look strange. What happened?” Cheng Xiangyun asked softly.

“I'm fine,” Ning Ran reassured her gently.

“You have to compose yourself. This reality show's rating is quite high, so you can't afford to screw up,” Cheng Xiangyun said worriedly.

“Don't worry. I'll do my best.”

“Let's go, then,” Wang Xiaoou said.

Right then, an employee brought in a suitcase that Ning Ran instantly recognized as hers.

She was so infuriated that she had completely forgotten to grab her suitcase before alighting from Nan Chen's car earlier.

Ning Ran's anger dissipated a little when she realized he had delivered it to her.

Nevertheless, she quickly felt a jolt of anger again when she recalled that he would be picking up Zhiyi personally that day.

You're not married to him, so there's no need to be angry. Think positive!

Alas, it was hard to do so. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She remained furious on the way to their destination, having failed to compose her emotions.

Upon arrival, she spotted Huang Zichao coming toward her, wearing a bright, cheerful smile and carrying a gorgeous bouquet of roses.

Huang Zichao had completed all of his scenes for the movie before the official end of filming and had since moved on to join another production team to begin work on a new project. It had been quite a while since they had last seen each other.

“Hello. It's been a while,” Huang Zichao greeted her before offering her the flowers.

Ning Ran gratefully accepted the flowers and brought them close to her face, inhaling their sweet fragrance. She finally felt much better.

Huang Zichao had nothing to do with lifting her spirits. It was the thoughtful gesture of someone who cared that made all the difference.

“Huang, this is unfair. You gave Ding flowers but not us!” Tang Jing joked as she came over to join them.

Ning Ran gave the bouquet to her. “I'll give them to you, then.”

Tang Jing chuckled and shook her head. “I dare not take the flowers that the award-winning actor bought for you. His fans will chastise me for doing so.”

“That was inconsiderate of me. I should've prepared two bouquets,” Huang Zichao responded cheerfully.

“Huang, Ding is obviously the only one occupying a special place in your heart. It's normal for you to prepare only one bouquet,” Tang Jing continued joking.

Ning Ran disliked such jokes as they were all public figures. If someone overheard the joke, they could misconstrue it and the news could spread like wildfire, leading to potentially damaging consequences.

“All right, let's head in and meet our competitors,” Wang Xiaoou interjected with a smile.

The rest were already there. Seeing Ning Ran, Ye Meng came over to greet her. “Ms. Ding, it's been a while.”

They gave each other a polite hug. Another rookie actress, Chen Gui, also came to greet her. She was a gorgeous young lady who had just graduated from acting school.

“Hello, Ding. My name is Chen Gui,” she introduced herself.

“Hello. Nice to meet you.” Ning Ran shook her hand.

“I absolutely love your dramas, Ding! Your acting skills are truly remarkable and you are a much better

actress than many other female superstars. You are a wonderful role model for us rookies,” Chen Gui gushed.

Her words rendered Ning Ran awkward, as Ye Meng was a female superstar.

Ning Ran couldn't help but wonder if she meant something else by claiming that Ning Ran was a better actress than many other female superstars.

I thought Chen Gui is good with her words, but I was wrong. I wonder if she said that on purpose.

Fortunately, Chen Gui went to Tang Jing after chatting briefly with Ning Ran. “Tang Jing, I'm glad to see you again.”

Tang Jing was a highly accomplished graduate student at the renowned acting school. She was a model student and would often return to campus to join in various events. Chen Gui could recognize her almost immediately.

Despite not being an A-list celebrity, Tang Jing was widely acknowledged and highly respected by both teachers and fellow students alike for her outstanding academic achievements. Teachers had a special fondness for students who excelled in their studies, and Tang Jing was certainly no exception.

“How are you, Gui? Have you found a boyfriend?” Tang Jing greeted Chen Gui with a hug.

“No. Rich ladies have snatched all the handsome guys in our school. They left us with nothing, so I couldn't get myself a boyfriend,” Chen Gui replied cheekily.

It looks like Chen Gui is fond of speaking recklessly when she's excited.

Tang Jing chuckled. “Really? Are the boys in our school that popular to be snatched by rich ladies?”

“Yeah! They are all taken!”

They were chatting pleasantly when someone else arrived.

A young man around sixteen or seventeen years old walked in, flanked by six staff. His appearance was grander than anyone else.

The boy was of average height, but his complexion was fair, and his features were delicate and attractive. He was dressed in a pristine white sweater and a pair of stylish black jeans.

He was one of the top five prettiest boys Ning Ran had ever seen.

However, Ning Ran knew she was no longer young. She wasn't interested in young boys, especially since this one brought so many staff with him. He gave off a pompous air.

“Oh, this is Shi Jie. He's pretty popular recently. When we were filming in Zaprington, hundreds of his fans waited outside every day,” Ye Meng revealed, conflicting emotions swirling in her gaze.

“Oh? Is he a member of The Riot Boys?” Ning Ran asked. She had heard about them briefly but didn't know them well.

“Yes. They debuted on a reality television talent competition show. Neither of them can dance or sing

well, but they are insanely popular,” Ye Meng replied with a chuckle.

Ye Meng had more experience than Ning Ran in the entertainment industry, let alone the young Shi Jie.

In the entertainment industry, the old would have to make way for the young. While the young might not necessarily be more talented or successful than the old, they were guaranteed to take over and leave the old behind.

The fast-paced nature of the industry created an atmosphere of constant insecurity for those involved. One day, they could be beloved icons, but the next, they could easily be forgotten and replaced by a new rising star.
