After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: You Can Call Me Marquis Chapter 172: Chapter 172: You Can Call Me Marquis “Li Yanbai, you’re not quite yourself today,” Director Chen found Li Yanbai, observed his exhausted expression, and nearly reprimanded him before swallowing his words back, “Your scenes for today are over ahead of schedule. Go back and get some good rest.”

Li Yanbai glanced at the time and said, “It’s only two in the afternoon.”

“The following scenes are with the female lead and others, you’re not needed. Go rest up, don’t affect tomorrow’s shooting,” Director Chen ordered Li Yanbai to rest and then turned to call Shen Yan to get ready.

Shen Yan turned her head and took a brief look at the departing Li Yanbai, then refocused on her work.

When Li Yanbai came out, he saw several unfamiliar vehicles parked outside. As he passed by, he saw about a dozen men in suits spread out in strategic positions—as if they were debt collectors from some organization.

Li Yanbai frowned and settled back into his seat.

Wang Jue was standing outside, rather impatient.

“How’s it going? Has the film crew given any response?”

Assistant: “They won’t let us in.”

“What kind of nonsense is that? Tell them I’m here to invest, that I’m a fool with plenty of money,” Wang Jue gestured dismissively and instructed the assistant to keep negotiating.

The assistant couldn’t fathom what Wang Jue was up to.

What’s so interesting about a movie set that he’s determined to throw money just for a glimpse?

Indeed, a fool with plenty of money.

Others might not know, but Wang Jue was aware that the Miss from the Shen Family was in the entertainment industry.

He was extremely curious.

Qi Si suddenly coming here and checking into that hotel, it gave Wang Jue a lot to ponder.

Besides, he was quite concerned about Qi Si’s personality—notwithstanding his cold and unsocial demeanor, he was very obedient to Grandma Qi’s words.

Because of the words Grandma Qi left before her passing, even if the Miss from the Shen Family was flawed, Qi Si would still marry her.

To say it was for the benefit of both families, he thought it was just an excuse.

With Qi Si’s capabilities, was he really in need of the Shen Family’s business?

Director Chen was in the middle of shooting when suddenly some visitor claiming to be a fool with plenty of money wanting to invest turned up.

At the mention of “a fool with plenty of money,” Director Chen’s eyebrows shot up, “Let him in. I’m curious to see how much he’s willing to splurge.”

The crew member ran out.

And shortly after.

Wang Jue came in with his entourage.

At first, when so many men in suits rushed in, everyone couldn’t help but turn their heads back to watch.

The young man leading the group looked loose and unrestrained, yet his eyes twinkled with shrewdness, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Everyone steered clear but couldn’t resist turning back to check out the newcomers.

Director Chen was somewhat startled to see Wang Jue, but as an old fox, he immediately recognized Wang Jue’s extraordinary air and quickly handed off his camera to someone else. He went over to greet him, “Hello, I am the director of this crew, last name Chen. May I ask who you are?”

“Last name Wang, from Beijing, Wang Jue.”

“…”

Director Chen was genuinely taken aback at the name.

He thought the man was playing him for a fool.

He almost wanted to respond: I am a Duke.

Seeing Director Chen’s expression, Wang Jue clicked his tongue, “What’s with that look? It’s my real name.”

Director Chen laughed awkwardly, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Wang.”

“What kind of movie are you guys shooting here? Is throwing in two or three thousand enough?” Wang Jue looked over in that direction, searching for Shen Yan’s figure.

Director Chen asked with a smile, “Thirty million?”

Wang Jue eyed him sideways, “Three thousand yuan.”

Director Chen’s smile froze: “…”

Wang Jue waved his hand, signaling the assistant to discuss with Director Chen.

The assistant pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said solemnly, “Director Chen, our Lord truly intends to invest thirty million, but we need to first understand whether your film is worth the investment from our Lord.”

Wang Jue was not foolish, and as his special assistant, he absolutely couldn’t afford to be either.

He had to go through analysis before deciding the amount to invest, he couldn’t just throw money in on a whim, he wasn’t a sucker.

Director Chen once again put on a smile and asked them to step aside.

Wang Jue walked to the front, scanning the crowd.

He saw a figure charging down from a higher position, her resolute and decisive eyes somewhat dumbfounding Wang Jue.

Shen Yan was about to jump from a height, pursuing someone ahead.

Her movements were crisp and sharp, and even though she was strapped with a safety rope, her fearless leap nearly scared the person in front.

A graceful silhouette leaped down like an eagle landing, and settled onto a sponge mat, her posture as steady as a pine, as if it were just a casual jump.

Her action just now left the person in front stunned with admiration!

“Good! That’s a wrap!”

The assistant director shouted.

Everyone snapped back to reality.

Xiao Zhao hurried up to offer a towel and some water.

Shen Yan took the water, drinking it as she walked out, and glanced around, “Where’s Uncle Liu?”

“Seems like he had to step out for something urgent,” Xiao Zhao said as he wiped sweat from Shen Yan’s forehead, praising, “Yanyan, you were really cool just now!”

Xiao Zhao’s admiration for Shen Yan grew even more.

After seeing Xiao Zhao looking like a little fan girl, Shen Yan took the towel from her hand and clumsily wiped herself down before looking up and meeting the gaze of the man who had been watching her.

Wang Jue snapped back to his senses and walked towards Shen Yan.

Seeing a stranger approaching Shen Yan, Xiao Zhao instinctively stepped in front to block him.

Wang Jue, tall and looking down, glanced at five-foot-seven Xiao Zhao with scrutiny before turning back to Shen Yan, “I’ve come from Beijing.”

Shen Yan looked at the man before her, wondering who from Beijing he might be.

She was sure he knew her.

Shen Yan waited for what he would say next.

“You should have heard of the Wang Family, my name is Wang Jue.”

Shen Yan, expressionless, said, “You can call me Marquis.”

Xiao Zhao: “…”

Wang Jue: “…”

Damn!

He’s going to change his name! Change his name!

Wang Jue’s handsome face twisted a few times, he gritted his teeth and said, “My name really is Wang Jue.”

Shen Yan stared into his eyes for a while, making sure he wasn’t joking with her, before responding, “Shen Yan.”

“Of course, I know you are Shen Yan, you’ve changed a lot,” Wang Jue sized her up, “I saw you once seven years ago.”

“I must have been just thirteen years old back then.”

Wang Jue coughed, “Women change eighteen times between childhood and womanhood, and it couldn’t be more true. You are different from what the rumors in the circle suggest.”

“Are you a friend of Mr. Qi?” Shen Yan scrutinized him, finding it hard to believe that Qi Si, such a cold person, would have such an offbeat friend.

Wang Jue became more serious, “I indeed am a good friend of Qi Si, so I’m curious about who he’s following to Xia City.”

“Following?” Shen Yan caught the important word.

“It might be a coincidence,” Wang Jue glanced around, “I’ve heard you entered the entertainment industry chasing after some male celebrity, is that true?”

Xiao Zhao silently moved back, this was not something she should hear.

Shen Yan pursed her lips, her expression indifferent as she looked at him, “Is Mr. Wang here to stand up for Mr. Qi, or to mock me?”

Wang Jue’s eyes deepened, again appraising Shen Yan, “Could it be both?”

“The first would mean you are truly a good friend to Mr. Qi, and the second would prove that your character isn’t much to speak of, unworthy to be Mr. Qi’s friend.”

Wang Jue’s lips twitched.

His gaze toward Shen Yan gained a few shades of difference.
