After Xie Mingxuan left, Chi Shuyan picked up some food from the table on the side and sat down on a couch. As she ate, she watched the celebrities mingle in the hall.

Most of the celebrities who could attend Director Li’s film premiere were very famous. She wasn’t a fan of celebrities, so she could only recognize some of them, while she couldn’t name most of them. Hence, she simply ate and ‘watched the show.’ Occasionally, she would glance at Director Li, Xie Mingxuan and the others.

Chi Shuyan’s looks were extremely outstanding, and there were some men who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her at first. However, she didn’t pay much attention to them, and fewer and fewer people approached her as the night wore on. After all, this was a place for fame and fortune, and most of them came here for benefits.

For a time, Chi Shuyan sat alone and ate leisurely.

It was just that it was too boring on her own. Chi Shuyan felt that she didn’t fit in with the atmosphere in the hall. She made up her mind not to become involved in this circle anymore, and would turn down future invitations.

Rather than idling around like this, she may as well go back to her villa to rest or do business.

Not long after, there was a small stir in the hall as everyone turned their heads one by one and watched the host lead in Film Emperor Ruan. Chi Shuyan didn’t care at first, but after listening to the discussion around her, she realized that the ordinary-looking man was the famous Film Emperor Ruan.

It was probably because Xie Mingxuan had mentioned Film Emperor Ruan earlier; Chi Shuyan wasn’t interested at first, but now that she was bored, she couldn’t help but observe him.

Film Emperor Ruan was probably a very popular person in the circle. As soon as he entered, many people surrounded him and took the initiative to chat with him.

It took a while before Chi Shuyan got a clear look at the famous Film Emperor Ruan.

Although Film Emperor Ruan looked a little ordinary, he had the unique charm of a mature and steady man. He had n.o.ble features and his eyes were deep. He wasn’t someone with crooked thoughts. On the contrary, although his gaze was deep and sharp, it occasionally carried a hint of gentleness, and his eyes were very calm. Looking at the white aura around him, he could be considered a good person.

Chi Shuyan’s interest in Film Emperor Ruan, whom she was meeting for the first time, was limited to a few glances. She was about to look away, when she suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his expression.

Film Emperor Ruan, who had been chatting and laughing with the people around him, suddenly turned pale. Cold sweat inexplicably broke out on his forehead and the veins on his temples bulged. Looking at his expression, it was as if he was trying his best to suppress something.

Chi Shuyan saw a ball of black qi suddenly appear on the other party’s thick forehead. Then, a golden light flashed, and the black qi didn’t decrease, but increased instead. It immediately burrowed into the other party’s forehead and disappeared. Film Emperor Ruan’s complexion also improved a lot, but his gaze was a bit absent-minded.

After a while, his eyes cleared a little. He immediately said a few polite words to the people around him, then found a corner to sit down in.

Chi Shuyan was a bit stupefied, but her expression was also pensive. Her gaze lingered on Film Emperor Ruan not far away with some curiosity.

She was curious about the golden light and black qi on the other party. The golden light seemed very weak. As for the black qi, this Film Emperor Ruan had probably provoked something he shouldn’t have, and that thing was probably quite extraordinary.

Chi Shuyan thought for a moment, and naturally wouldn’t give up the opportunity to make money. Besides, the other party looked like a rich person. She didn’t expect to be able to drum up potential business at this event. Chi Shuyan was in a good mood and her earlier boredom disappeared. She took the initiative to greet him. “Film Emperor Ruan?”

Ruan Shenglin had always been very sharp. After all, there were all sorts of people in this circle. If he wasn’t careful, he might encounter trouble. When he looked up, he saw an unfamiliar but very beautiful woman in front of him.

A trace of amazement flashed in Ruan Shenglin’s eyes, but there was more wariness in them. He just thought that the other party was a newcomer who wanted to seduce him or use his fame to cause a scandal.

He couldn’t be blamed for thinking this. There were all sorts of temptations in this circle, regardless of gender, and he had seen even more sordid things.

Sometimes, Ruan Shenglin was very glad that his looks were average, so that he wasn’t tainted. Instead, he relied on his acting skills and steadiness to climb to the top. A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes and he looked aloof. “What’s the matter? May I know who you are?”

He looked like he wanted to leave.

Chi Shuyan wasn’t disappointed that the other party was cold to her. Instead, she had a better impression of this Film Emperor Ruan in front of her. She didn’t beat around the bush. She wanted to give him her name card directly, but she remembered that she hadn’t printed it yet, so she simply took a pen and paper from the side and wrote her phone number and name on them. “Film Emperor Ruan, you can contact me if you need anything!”

Chi Shuyan handed it over as she spoke, but Ruan Shenglin’s face turned black at the woman’s words. Not to mention that he already had a wife, everyone in the circle knew that he had principles and was very disgusted by such unspoken rules. He would scold the lady every time he encountered such a thing, but who would have thought that this young lady in front of him would still dare to rush over? Ruan Shenglin was about to refuse coldly.

Chi Shuyan saw that there was something wrong with the other party’s expression, so she got straight to the point. “Film Emperor Ruan, your eyebrows are clear, your forehead is broad, and your earlobes are fleshy. You’re a person with great fortune and wealth, but I’m afraid you’ve run into an evil calamity recently. Although I don’t know where you ran into this evil, it’s best to get rid of it as soon as possible so that your family won’t be implicated. If you need anything, you can look for me. I’m free!”

Ruan Shenglin: …

Before Chi Shuyan left, she took another look at the other party’s physiognomy and realized that he actually had the physiognomy of a person who was about to lose his family and die. She couldn’t help but be alarmed. Her eyes flashed, and she emphasized, “Film Emperor Ruan, it’s best if you make a decision as soon as possible. At best, you’ll lose your life; at worst, your family will be ruined. Remember that!”
