Chapter 33
Ranlong ignored Ms. Hu, closed his Weibo and opened an entertainment forum.
She wanted to see what those who had ignored her or wanted to ban her in the past would say about these trending searches.
As soon as I refreshed the page, dozens of new posts popped up on the homepage. When I looked closely, I saw that they were all discussing her and Qiu An.
I clicked on the latest post titled "【Open Mic】Qiu An and Ran Long are starring in a lesbian film, what do you guys think?", and the main post even posted several photos from the dinner that day. Not only that, even the group photo from the opening ceremony was posted.
1L: Damn, what the hell is Ranlong in? I feel so dead.
2L: I don't mind who plays the role, but if they want to be a couple, at least find someone who is compatible, right? People's money doesn't come from the wind, so why should we just put two women together and say it's a couple and expect people to pay? Funny
3L: So funny, I sent it to the oil dealer, and he said he got the wrong person, isn't this a staff member?
4L: It was barely watchable before, but what is this now?
5L: It really looks like a female ghost coming to take my life. Aren't you afraid that she will have a masculine attack in public and slap me twice? She even hired some netizens to say "casual". It's so funny.
Ranlong ignored the insults, but the more she looked at them, the more she felt something was wrong. Where did these photos come from? Where did she buy these online scams? Wasn't Sister Hou working at Disney?
Back on Weibo, I saw that immediately after the flirtatious photos, the crew's publicity was overwhelming. Although there was still no official account to claim it, the lack of a denial was tantamount to a disguised admission of marketing.
#Qiu An's new film has two female protagonists#
#Yuen Chengyin's new film has finished filming#
#Qiu Anranlong#
Entries came to the top one after another. Ranlong opened them one by one, and sure enough, they were all photos taken by paparazzi and entertainment reporters. They were eating roasted whole lamb in a terrace restaurant.
In addition to the ambiguous photos of her feeding Qiu An, there are more photos of them interacting normally at group dinners.
Ranlong finally reacted.
It turns out that dinner that day was essentially a promotional event for the film. No wonder they chose an open-air restaurant by the Xinfan River. No wonder even that unrefined woman, Yuan Chengyin, wore makeup!
She was just waiting to be photographed! Why didn't anyone tell her?!
Ran was furious. He avoided Ms. Hu and went into the bedroom, then called Qiu An.
"Hello? Xiaoran? What's going on?"
"Qiu An! You did this on purpose, didn't you? You deliberately told me we were going to eat some crappy barbecue and didn't tell me we were putting on a show for the media last night?! I'm telling you, you're still not smart enough. If the dinner party was downstairs at the hotel, I could just put on a nightgown and slippers and go down! How could you be such a person? I'm opening my heart to you, and you turn around and poke me in the heart..."
Ranlong was cursing so hard that she didn't notice that Ms. Hu heard her call out "Qiu An" and then opened the door and came in.
Ranlong has no habit of locking the door, because his family has provided him with a good environment since he was a child, and it is rare for someone to break in without knocking like this.
"An An, is that An An? An An, can you start a video call? Auntie hasn't seen you for a long time."
"Hey mom, why did you come in? I have something to do!"
Ranlong wanted to chase Ms. Hu away, but Qiu An beat her to the punch and said, "Hello, Auntie. I'll turn on the video right away."
Qiu An said as she clicked on the front camera. In the shot, she was sitting by the window, the decor behind her looking contrived, not like at home, but more like a hotel.
Qiu An still had makeup on her face and looked very beautiful, unlike her sloppy daughter who was rushing home exhausted from the journey.
"Hey, An An, hello!" Ms. Hu greeted Qiu An, and quickly tapped Ran Long's phone, and Ran Long's big face appeared on the screen.
What did she say? Sloppy daughter.
He had no makeup on, messy hair, dark circles under his eyes, and hadn't taken a shower yet. There was a small piece of yellow unidentified substance on the corner of his mouth, which should be the mango from dinner, but it looked like he had just eaten shit.
So angry.
Ranlong wanted to scold Ms. Hu for turning on the camera without asking her permission, and also wanted to ask Ms. Hu why she didn't remind her to wipe the stains on her mouth that had been on her mouth all night. The two thoughts fought and turned into a full-bodied shout:
"Well!"
It sounded quite like a scream.
Whatever, she's just not worthy of your angelic, otherworldly Qiu An, alright? But you know what? No matter how ethereal, beautiful, or pretty Qiu An is, she still has to hang her underwear on the balcony.
"An An, can you come home for dinner during the New Year?"
Ms. Hu ignored Ranlong's tricks, took the phone from her hand, and started chatting with Qiu An.
"Hey! Mom! Give me back my phone!"
"Of course!" Qiu An smiled gently, "But Auntie, I have to ask Xiao Ran if she agrees."
"Qiu An, don't team up with my mom to change the subject! Tell me, why didn't you tell me in advance that there would be media coverage yesterday?"
"Why wouldn't you agree to this? Xiaoran is certainly willing to do so! Our home would be so lonely during the New Year without you." Ms. Hu nudged Xiaoran with her elbow, motioning her to nod.
Ranlong stiffened his neck and protested, "Whatever I want, I want it."
"Auntie, please don't force her."
"Let me ask you a question. Are you listening to me?" Ranlong was so tired that her voice was almost hoarse, but no one listened to a word she said.
"Xiao Long, can you just agree to let An An come back for dinner during the New Year? It's just a matter of an extra pair of chopsticks! Don't be so stingy!"
"What's just an extra pair of chopsticks? But after dinner, don't you have to let them stay overnight? And there's even an extra bed!"
"Hey! What's the big deal? I wanted you to sleep separately before but you refused, and now you want more beds. How troublesome!"
"No, Mom, it's different now!"
Ranlong decided to take a different approach. She wanted to push Qiu An away and let her mother come back to her.
She said, "Qiu An is a lesbian. Don't let her come back to eat or sleep with us. We are both single women. It's very dangerous."
The atmosphere fell silent. It was visibly apparent that the smiles on Ms. Hu and Qiu An's faces froze.
Ranlong was very proud. She wanted to see how Ms. Hu would react to this dangerous lesbian, and how Qiu An would deceive and prevaricate Ms. Hu with her eloquence.
After a long silence, Ms. Hu turned to her phone and said to Qiu An, "An An, don't listen to Xiao Long's nonsense. He's so disrespectful. Remember to come back for dinner during the New Year. If you have work, you can come later."
Ranlong is really out of temper.
"Okay, Auntie, I will go."
Instead of calling her auntie all the time, she might as well just call her mom. Anyway, Ms. Hu has been wanting to recognize her as her daughter for a long time.
Ranlong sighed. Given Ms. Hu's unconditional doting, even if she threw the sexy lingerie and the chat log about booking a hotel room in her face, she would still say, "This isn't my An'an. Stop playing pranks."
Haha, is it Qiu Anbenan that Ms. Hu likes? She is a movie queen, so shouldn't she be able to play the role of a good daughter easily?
So, Qiu An should be in jail. After all, she's scammed at least millions of people out of money. What a bad person.
Ran Long took the phone handed to him by Ms. Hu with a tired heart, and it clearly showed that the call had ended.
Why on earth did she make this call? Was she trying to set up a relationship between Ms. Hu and Qiu An? It didn't seem like it.
Fortunately, Qiu An remembered and sent a message to Ran Long:
An: I’m sorry, Xiaoran, I thought Sister Wang had already explained it to you.
Confession? Confession of what? Small-scale, barbecue, or informal dinner?
Well, even if there was a hint in Sister Wang's words, was she expecting her, who had never really been in the circle, to read it out, or was she expecting Sister Hou, a pure passerby, to read it out?
Sister Hou doesn’t even know which hill she’s on to catch the flying car!
Super Male Villain: Then when you saw that I was dressed in a mess, didn’t you remind me?
An: I warned you.
Nonsense!
wrong.
-Would you like to change your clothes? I'll have Sissi bring one over.
It seemed that Qiu An had really reminded her, but she herself refused.
Super Male Villain: Why are you pretending to be a riddle man? If you just tell me directly, I will lose a piece of meat?
An: I'm sorry, I thought that was the character you wanted.
What a big-headed ghost you are!
If Qiu An was there, Ran Long would have thrown away her phone and beaten her up. Unfortunately, Qiu An was not there, so she could only pick up a pillow and beat her up.
Forget it, it’s impossible to take back the photos that have been sent out, so I’ll just let you guys criticize me as much as you want. When the movie is officially released, I’ll blind your eyes with my beauty!
Halfway through beating the pillow, Ranlong suddenly remembered something and took a closer look at the forum and Weibo. She read through the comments on the super topic and the discussion thread. Fortunately, the fan withdrawal and backlash she had worried about had not happened. She had not expected Qiu An's fans to be so tolerant of her.
Although I don’t know what the fans think privately, the fact that they haven’t done anything out of line shows that they haven’t touched the real bottom line.
Of course, if we really want to talk about it, these fans should thank her, right?
That video of her slapping Qiu An spread across thousands of households, bringing your sister a ton of traffic. Otherwise, how could she have become so famous all of a sudden just by herself?
When it comes to traffic, Ranlong cannot be criticized for nothing.
She had been criticized enough in the past, and now she was a tough, strong tank. The criticism caused by her clothes and appearance could not hurt her at all.
After all, anyone wearing full makeup and a fishtail dress can't be that ugly, right? Is that right? Let's just assume so for now!
Ranlong still has a photo of Qiu An on her phone when she didn't have money to buy nice clothes. She was just a rustic little girl, but comparing her with her when she was a child star is enough to make people build a skyscraper out of nothing.
Why do you still have Qiu An's photo? This is rare firsthand dirty laundry, understand?
Ranlong took a hot shower, blew her hair, styled it, and made herself look beautiful.
Perfume? No, I won’t spray it. The smell won’t be as good through the screen anyway. I’ll just use my imagination to imagine it.
Speaking of perfume, haha, did you know that your sister hasn't endorsed other perfumes for all these years because she was in love with the body lotion she used back then?
You'd never guess that, right? The perfume your sister wears is the same one she stole and copied from back then! If this were to get out, it would definitely be trending, right?
In fact, Ranlong had revealed this information before. She posted a message on the forum using a fake account, but unfortunately, not only did no one believe her, but Qiu An's fans also reported the post for spreading rumors and causing trouble.
If you don't believe it, forget it! Even if you don't believe it, it won't change the fact that Qiu An used the lotion on her body.
Ranlong put on her makeup, added some simple lighting, and put on the host's uniform beautifully before starting the live broadcast.
Just curse me, my friends, don't forget to move your fingers and give me a reward~
