Seeing Xia Yiran constantly staring at the handsome man, Ju Zi leaned closer and said with a smile, "Isn't he very handsome?"
Xia Yiran didn't want to appear like she had never seen a handsome man before. She casually shifted her gaze, replying with great reluctance, "He's alright."
"Heh heh, he has quite the background!"
"Oh? Who is he?"
"Han Moyin."
Xia Yiran shook her head, indicating she hadn't heard of this person.
"Have you heard of Yide Construction?"
Xia Yiran had, after all, mingled in high society and attended many events with the Xia couple. Of course, she knew "Yide Construction."
She immediately guessed, "He's from the Han family?"
Ju Zi was incredibly impressed with her, "As expected of Sister Yiran, you knew as soon as I mentioned it! Unlike those country bumpkins, it's useless to tell them!" She then cast a disdainful eye roll towards the side.
Xia Yiran was quite pleased with her flattery; she hadn't been praised like this in a long time since her reputation took a hit.
However, she was even more interested in the handsome man before her. The Han family in Jiang City could tentatively stand on equal footing with the Xiao family; their strength was evident. If he were truly a member of the Han family, he would indeed have an impressive background!
She absolutely could not miss this opportunity to connect!
"Oh?" Xia Yiran's demeanor towards Ju Zi softened considerably. She asked with a smile, "A member of the Han family would attend this show?"
Ju Zi looked around and leaned into her ear, lowering her voice, "He's the illegitimate son of the Han family."
Xia Yiran was taken aback and looked at her suspiciously, "How do you know?"
Such a private matter, and from a prominent family like the Hans, how could it leak out? And be known to a little internet celebrity like her?
Ju Zi knew what she was thinking and said mysteriously, "My uncle is the planner for this show. He told me that the Han family had asked them not to give him too much screen time, preferably making him unnoticeable."
Xia Yiran understood. They were essentially not giving him any opportunity to appear in public.
Ju Zi, whether genuinely sympathetic or acting, sighed, "Actually, he's quite pitiful. My uncle said that because he's so handsome, besides working as a model, he also works at a club at night... he's good-looking, so you don't need to guess what he does."
Looking at the man again, Xia Yiran found him exceptionally good-looking. He must be very popular with wealthy women.
She closed her eyes, gradually forming a plan.
Soon, the show began recording.
Xia Yiran's reputation was not good, but she was still experienced in front of the camera. She knew how to find her best angles and how to speak. The host also knew that even though she was somewhat obscure now, she still generated buzz! Therefore, they paid her a lot of attention, always steering the conversation towards her.
Ju Zi was incredibly envious. Although she also had connections, in the face of popularity, everything else was like carbon dioxide.
Glancing over during a break and seeing Xia Yiran looking expectant, Xia Yiran generously threw the conversation back to her. Ju Zi was flattered and quickly responded. This back-and-forth earned her some screen time. She became even more admiring and grateful towards Xia Yiran, developing a sense of unwavering loyalty.
Ju Zi wasn't foolish; she was aware of Xia Yiran's situation in the industry, but Xia Yiran was the most famous celebrity she could currently reach!
She had to seize this opportunity firmly. Even if it meant being her follower, she had to grasp this straw to break into the entertainment industry!
The Han family's discreet request indeed proved effective. During the recording, Han Moyin was made to stand in a corner, like a mere backdrop, with no topics even directed his way.
Xia Yiran observed all of this, pretending not to notice, and remained active throughout the event.
Her participation in this recording was considered a great success. She had single-handedly energized the entire venue, even having more presence than when she had generated buzz before!
After the recording ended, the director was talking with Zhang Peng, wanting to keep Xia Yiran as a regular cast member.
At this critical juncture, anyone willing to have Xia Yiran as a regular was clearly not afraid of death!
Zhang Peng could no longer maintain his composure and eagerly signed a letter of intent.
Ju Zi followed Xia Yiran, jumping with excitement, "Sister Yiran, this is my first time participating in a show recording! Was my performance just now good?"
Xia Yiran's attention was clearly not on her; her gaze was elsewhere, and she replied perfunctorily, "Pretty good."
Han Moyin had come alone and was about to change and leave after the show.
Xia Yiran was unsure when she would see him again. She couldn't let this opportunity slip away. So, after telling Ju Zi she "had something to do," she followed him.
Han Moyin was heading towards the male dressing room. Xia Yiran quickly caught up to him, stopping him in his path, "Do you have time? Let's talk for a moment."
Han Moyin was accustomed to women approaching him like this, but he still stopped. He looked at her with a cold gaze, his attitude still polite, "What is it?"
"Let's go somewhere else."
Xia Yiran's tone conveyed an unshakeable determination.
Han Moyin replied indifferently, "I'm sorry, either say it here, or never say it at all."
The words carried an exceptional arrogance when spoken by him!
Xia Yiran raised her eyebrows, as if discovering something significant, "I didn't realize you had such a temper."
Seeing someone walk by behind them, she unhesitatingly pulled him towards a corner.
Han Moyin frowned and directly shook off her hand, "What do you want? Miss Liu!"
His address of "Miss Liu" made Xia Yiran halt. She turned to stare at him, sneering, "You, an illegitimate son, how are you any better than me? At least I'm still pure and haven't done the job of serving others! You, on the other hand, have climbed into the beds of several wealthy women for money!"
She was filled with extreme hatred. Was she now going to be mocked even by a gigolo?!
Han Moyin merely raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes revealing no hint of emotion.
After all, he had heard such words countless times since childhood; they couldn't hurt him.
He turned to leave, as if listening to her further would be a waste of time. Angered by him, Xia Yiran exclaimed, "Don't go!"
She blocked his path, glaring at him, "Are you content to be mocked like this? Don't you want to return to the Han family and reclaim everything that belongs to you? We're both of the Han family bloodline, so why should Han Jianyue, that good-for-nothing, be the young master of the Han family, while you can only come out and do this job of selling your charm?"
Han Moyin seemed to look up and truly face her only now. His eyes held a dark profundity that she couldn't decipher.
But he was just someone who hadn't seen the world. Xia Yiran didn't believe he wouldn't be interested in her proposal!
Therefore, she grabbed his hand and pressed on, "I have a way to get you back."
Han Moyin's expression remained unchanged. He looked at her with cold eyes and slowly withdrew his hand, "Before worrying about other people's affairs, you should first consider whether you want to be called 'Xia Yiran' or 'Liu Yiran'!"
Xia Yiran's expression froze. Han Moyin walked past her.
She became enraged, "You—"
However, the man had already entered the elevator.
