Upon seeing Jiang Xinrou's clothes, Shen Qingwan's face darkened like the bottom of a pot.
She must have done it on purpose, wanting Xiao Ran to stand out from the crowd.
Does she deserve to have her daughter used to highlight the daughter of a mistress?
Jiang Xinrou smiled and her eyes lit up when she saw several familiar faces at the banquet.
That person...
Isn't that the very famous director and producer Lin Jun?
He is the most famous director in the industry. Whether it's a TV series or a movie, his films and TV series always have the best popularity and critical acclaim.
Moreover, the Lin family is a prominent family in City A. As the saying goes, wealth doesn't last three generations, but the Lin family has been around for seven generations and is still able to maintain its foothold in City A.
Therefore, Lin Jun has the authority to manage all his works, including all casting decisions.
If you could participate in his work, regardless of whether you win an award or not, your popularity would definitely increase several times over.
Jiang Xinrou was extremely excited and determined to seize this opportunity.
She immediately picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and swayed toward Lin Jun.
"Director Lin, my name is Jiang Xinrou, and I am an actress who is very passionate about acting."
Jiang Ran kept a close eye on the situation over there without making a sound.
Jiang Xinrou was speaking very earnestly to Lin Jun, which made Lin Jun laugh heartily.
They seem to be having a very pleasant conversation.
In her past life, Jiang Xinrou met Lin Jun through this opportunity and starred in the movie "Me in Time" which he directed and produced. She not only received a Best Supporting Actress nomination that year, but also gained popularity because of this role, which led to her starring in the big-budget TV series "Asking About Love" that made her a star.
Most importantly, although her character doesn't have many scenes, her personality is excellent, making her a perfect ideal for the audience, so the audience has a strong filter for her.
It was because of this filter that she was able to have such a smooth career in the entertainment industry in her previous life.
Jiang Ran frowned deeply; she would never let the same thing happen again in this life.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to celebrate my birthday with me this year. I also have an important announcement to make today."
Shen Qingwan pulled Jiang Ran in front of her and announced to everyone, "This is my youngest daughter, whom I recently brought back. She was switched at birth with another child and suffered a lot of hardship and torment over the years. Fortunately, she's back with me now, and all the bad things from the past are in the past..."
The other child she was referring to was naturally Jiang Xinrou.
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon Jiang Xinrou.
So she wasn't the Jiang family's daughter after all...
It's the child who was switched at birth...
The dress that Jiang Xinrou wore, which originally made her look dazzling, is now seen as a provocation by everyone.
"Which of them deliberately wore the same dress?"
"Is that even a question? Didn't you see the smugness in her eyes just now?"
"How dare she deliberately wear the same clothes to provoke us? She's enjoyed wealth and pampering for so many years in place of the real heiress. All the hardships she endured outside were hers to suffer. Now that she's back, she actually dares to wear the same clothes to provoke us!"
"Exactly! Doesn't she feel guilty looking at other people's emaciated bodies? They suffered in her place to become like this, and not only does she not feel remorse, she even wants to use others to make herself look better! It's absolutely wicked!"
"It's more than just vicious! I think they've eaten their conscience! Sigh... what a pitiful little princess, so thin and weak, I wonder how much suffering she's endured outside."
"This fake heiress is such an ingrate! The Jiang family raised her all these years, but it would have been better to raise a dog!"
Seeing things develop in a way she hadn't expected, Jiang Xinrou blushed with shame, anger, and resentment.
What do these people know?!
They actually sided with that ugly Jiang Ran!
She quickly comforted herself, thinking that it was only because she was too beautiful that those people were jealous of her and spoke up for Jiang Ran.
It's not surprising. Those who spoke up for Jiang Ran earlier were all women. As women, they were naturally jealous of her beauty and radiance, because her brilliance overshadowed all of them.
Didn't they see that all the men present were looking at her? Naturally, they were envious, jealous, and resentful.
Having reached a satisfactory conclusion, Jiang Xinrou completely disregarded what others were saying. A gentle and charming smile appeared on her lips as she respectfully handed a glass of wine to Lin Jun from the waiter.
"Director Lin, I heard that the final cast list for your new film has not yet been finalized... I wonder if I would have the honor of working with you."
Lin Jun glanced at her meaningfully, but did not reach out to take her wine. He simply said, "I still need to discuss this matter with a few assistant directors."
After saying that, he walked to the other side.
Saying such things is a polite way of declining. Everyone knows that Lin Jun has a lot of influence; he doesn't need to ask the assistant director's opinion to decide which actor to use.
Jiang Xinrou panicked instantly and, in her haste, blocked his path.
"Director Lin, please reconsider... I really love your work..."
Lin Jun seemed annoyed by her persistence and waved to leave, but Jiang Xinrou still tried to stop him, resulting in her losing her balance on her ten-centimeter high heels—
"ah--"
A gasp drew everyone's attention, and everyone turned around to look, only to be stunned.
Jiang Xinrou was leaning her entire body against Lin Jun, whose hand was around her slender waist. To everyone's surprise, Jiang Xinrou's dress had slipped down, revealing a glimpse of her skin, and Lin Jun's other hand was placed in an inappropriate position.
