My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1028 Offer

Ning Ran was aware of the meaning behind Luo Zhiyi's words.

“I also think I'm not fit here. I'm not even familiar with them,” she replied with a smile.

As Luo Zhiyi was satisfied with her answer, her smile became even more vibrant.

“Then you should've just stayed at home and taken care of the kids. Why are you putting yourself in a tough situation?”

“That's what I said to Nan Chen, but he insisted on taking me. There was nothing I could do. You have no idea how clingy he can be. He keeps dragging me to events I don't enjoy at all. He even told me it'd be meaningless if I weren't there with him.”

At her words, Luo Zhiyi's smile froze.

Just like that, Ning Ran effortlessly suppressed her.

Whether I fit here or not is not for you to decide; Nan Chen has the final say. You're doing everything you can to squeeze in while Nan Chen dragged me here against my will, and you think you can compete with me? I stand on top while you're beneath me. What rights do you have to act this arrogant?

As Ning Ran noticed Luo Zhiyi's defeated look, she felt satisfied.

I won't bother anyone if they don't mess with me, but you keep provoking me, so I won't hold back, either.

Despite feeling displeased, Luo Zhiyi still had to maintain the fake smile.

Putting on a facade, Luo Zhiyi asked, “How did you know Judy?”

Ning Ran could not fathom the motive behind Luo Zhiyi's question, but she still answered flatly, “She said she watched my movie, and I watched hers. We like each other.”

“I quite like Judy as well. We should have a meal sometime.”

“She's right there. If you like her, then talk to her now. Why wait for other days”? Ning Ran asked curiously.

“There are too many people here. It'd be better if we were on our own.”

What's this woman up to again?

“We'll come back to this.”

No matter what motive you have, I won't help you set a date with Judy.

Just then, Rong Yi came over and raised his glass toward Ning Ran. “Wearing high heels must be exhausting. Have some more rest.”

His words were so thoughtful that Luo Zhiyi grew suspicious.

Ning Ran was like a sister to Rong Yi now, so such conversations were normal for people with sibling- like relationships.

However, Luo Zhiyi knew nothing about their relationship, and she felt his words were too intimate.

What's happening between Ning Ran and Rong Yi? Why are they acting so close?

Noticing Luo Zhiyi's expression, Rong Yi realized he sounded too intimate.

After all, in others' eyes, he and Ning Ran were not even friends.

There had been a longstanding feud between the Rong family and the Nan family. Many people knew of this fact, including Luo Zhiyi.

Other than the feud, both families were also rivals in the business world.

Also noticing the suspicion in Luo Zhiyi's eyes, Ning Ran quickly eased the awkwardness. “Thank you, Mr. Rong. My feet do hurt a little.”

Failing to hold back, Luo Zhiyi questioned, “Are you guys close to one another?”

“Mr. Rong is the pianist whom Mr. Nan admires the most. I'll be letting my second child learn the piano from him,” explained Ning Ran smilingly. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

She was trying to imply that Rong Yi was a friend introduced by Nan Chen, and their families had connections with each other.

Luo Zhiyi was even more confused. Could the rumor of the Rong family and the Nan family having a feud be fake? That's impossible because everyone in the circle knows about this.

Albeit still suspicious, Luo Zhiyi showed no signs of it. Instead, she smiled and walked away.

When Luo Zhiyi departed, Judy walked over.

Since she was also wearing high heels, she needed to rest as well.

After conversing briefly, Rong Yi excused himself.

“Have you watched the science fiction movie I starred in, Ning?”

“How could I not have? It's one of my favorite movies. Most of my friends love it as well, especially your performance in it.”

“We're going to shoot the second part of the movie, and in the new one, they're planning to incorporate more eastern elements. Are you interested in joining?” offered Judy. “It'd be delightful if I could film it with you.”

Are my ears playing tricks on me? Me joining Boundless? That's a globally renowned blockbuster! And to collaborate with an international superstar like Judy is a dream come true!

Excited, Ning Ran remarked, “Sure, but I'm new. Will the director hire me?”

“You have a successful movie as well. Although the impact isn't as huge as Boundless, you're a talented actress. I'll recommend you to the director, Cameron. I believe he'll like your acting.”

“Okay, thank you, Judy!”

By the time the banquet ended, Ning Ran was in a good mood.

Even though her social network was not as extensive as Luo Zhiyi's, she did not lose to the latter in this event.

Most importantly, she had gotten an offer from Judy to act in Boundless.

She had to tell Nan Chen about this good news.

However, Nan Chen was not happy to hear it—something Ning Ran could not fathom.

“Didn't you want me to go international? Participating in such a major film is a good opportunity for it,” said Ning Ran, somewhat upset.

“No,” replied Nan Chen simply.

“Why?”

“There were Asian stars who participated in major international films before, but very few of them were cast as main characters. Even supporting roles were hard to come by. Most of them were just extras, so it'd be meaningless to participate.”

Ning Ran never thought about that.

Now that Nan Chen mentioned it, she knew it was true.

Many international films invited Asian stars just to tap into the Asian market. In reality, they would not value the stars' acting skills.

“But I still want to try because I love this movie. I don't mind about the screen time and pay.” Ning Ran spoke stubbornly.

“No,” Nan Chen objected.

“Why? We don't always need to be main characters.”

“Then you need to play an important supporting role, at least. What's the point of being a character with no dialogs and screen time? As for the pay, I don't mind that either, but there should be enough screen time to showcase your value. From what I know about Cameron, he's unlikely to offer you much screen time.”

Based on what Nan Chen said, it seemed he had already considered this matter.

In that case, was Judy's appearance at the banquet also planned? But what for if he doesn't even let me act? What is he up to? I can't comprehend at all.

“Let's get back to this topic another time. There's no rush,” uttered Nan Chen.

“Okay, then let's talk about something else. Who's the prettier one between Luo Zhiyi and me tonight?”

Nan Chen was rendered speechless.

With a cold expression, Nan Chen looked away, not bothering to answer this boring question.
