The Former Wife of Invisible Wealthy Man - Chapter 57.2

Chapter 57: Director Xi Zhao (3)

Chang Ying couldn’t help recalling the rumors about here. It was said that Xi Zhao’s house was haunted?

In the dead of night, a strange piano sound would suddenly ring out. No one would be in front of the piano, but it would be playing by itself…

The stories of supernatural phenomena were always the most curious. Whenever something like this happened, the rumors would spread like fire. So, everyone knew that Xi Zhao lived in a haunted house.

Over time, some neighbors moved away, and the place became more and more desolate, but Xi Zhao never left.

Chang Ying could not help but shudder. She wanted to turn around and leave right this instant. If it weren’t for the top role, she wouldn’t have come to this haunted house in person.

But as long as she could convince him, everything was worth it.

Chang Ying glanced at the journalists behind, walked towards the door, and rang the doorbell. After a while, the door opened.

Director Zhao looked at Chang Ying coldly. “What do you want?”

Chang Ying knew that this widely-known director had an introverted personality. She smiled and handed over the long-prepared disk. “I’ve seen all the works of your wife.”

When hearing about Ning Ling, Xi Zhao’s expression relaxed a little. Seeing this, Chang Ying continued, “I don’t know whether you have a favorite heroine in your mind already?”

Xi Zhao gave Chang Ying a look. “You’re not suitable.” With a bang, the door was ruthlessly closed, as if hitting Chang Ying’s face.

The reporters were stunned. Their cameras were ready, but they did not expect Xi Zhao to disregard Chang Ying’s face completely.

Chang Ying’s smile suddenly froze on her face; she was embarrassed. She had come in person and prepared a disk of his wife’s works, but he didn’t even give a damn.

Was Xi Zhao really not satisfied with what she brought?

Of course, Chang Ying would not just give up like that. She did not bring up the disk this time. Instead, she stepped forward to ring the doorbell and was ready to present herself.

“Hello, I am Chang Ying…”

Before she finished speaking, Director Zhao left the next sentence, too lazy to look at her. “I already told you that you’re not suitable. Don’t bother me again.”

Once again, with a bang, Chang Ying was rejected.

Chang Ying gritted her teeth with anger, but she was ready to go for broke. She was going to look for Xi Zhao three times; who in the entertainment circle could do this?

This time, Director Xi didn’t even open the door, simply ignoring her. Chang Ying, whose face was completely stomped by the other, was afraid to knock again.

The fans all knew about Chang Ying’s rejection, and they all said that Xi Zhao was not satisfied even with such an excellent actress.

Pei Ning and Chang Ying, the most popular first-tier stars, were both rejected by the director.

Director Xi Zhao’s audition had not started yet, and he already seemed dissatisfied with every actress in the entertainment circle. There was already an uproar saying that he was as arrogant as ever.

Xi Zhao finally spared some words: “Only those who really understand Ning Ling can portray her well enough.”

That was indeed correct. Ning Ling, as a legendary movie star and Xi Zhao’s wife, she had won numerous local and international awards during her life. She had fans all over the world.

But the real Ning Ling had passed away. So, even if they wanted to understand her as a person, they could only speculate through the movies and news about her.

However, this was totally inconsistent with Xi Zhao’s “real understanding of Ning Ling”.

What kind of person did he consider qualified enough to take the role?

Although all the female stars in the entertainment circle wanted to seize this opportunity, Ye Sui did not even consider winning the role of Ning Ling.

The director’s temperament was arrogant, and the film was all the rage. It was definitely not for Ye Sui.

Ye Sui came home from work and saw Chen Shu waiting for her on the sofa. She had just received a sum of money from her show, so she said, “Chen Shu, I’ll treat you to a big dinner tonight.”

Chen Shu shook his head and patted the sofa beside him. “I won’t eat today. I have something to tell you.”

Ye Sui sat down in some confusion. Chen Shu looked calm as he pushed several newspapers to Ye Sui.

[According to neighbors, Director Xi Zhao’s house often makes strange noises in the middle of the night]

[Rumours of haunted villas in the west district are getting worse and worse, and families are moving away.]

Ye Xi noticed that the news was from three years ago. Currently, only director Xi Zhao lives in the Western District.

The clues gradually became clear and seemed to point to the truth. Ye Sui raised her eyes to meet Chen Shu’s.

Chen Shu: “I’ll accompany you to Xi Zhao’s house tomorrow. Perhaps, the only actress who can impress him is you.”

End of Chapter

The author has something to say: Ye Sui: Chen Shu, why do you have to take a bath in the morning?

Chen Shu: It’s hot.

Ye Sui looked at the bleak autumn wind outside: …
