"I went abroad later and we lost contact."
"Tch, who are you kidding?" Seeing the two of them acting like they were destined to never speak to each other again, You Yan didn't believe it at all. She rolled her eyes.
Jiang Jianhuan didn't reply. The air was quiet. You Yan let her straighten her clothes, turn around, and look at herself from both the front and back.
“This dress is beautiful, I like it, I’m going to take it home and wear it.” She was referring to the little black dress she was wearing.
This episode's theme is "The Witch's Trial".
Jiang Jianhuan designed her style to be glamorous, fresh, and playful, completely different from the dark witch in fairy tales. Instead, she was like a little witch who hadn't mastered her skills and had sneaked out, with a quirky innocence, yet unable to hide the dark aura she originally carried.
The dress was pure black, just knee-length, with a tight waist and a large bow at the back. The bodice was strapless, with thin black straps hanging from the shoulders, which accentuated the snow-white shoulders and added a touch of sensuality.
You Yan has a petite frame and a not-so-prominent chest, but she has a slender waist that can be easily encircled, making people feel an urge to hold her in their arms at first glance.
Therefore, Jiang Jianhuan cinched the waist of this dress smaller than the normal size, and with the slightly puffy skirt, it looked even more alluring.
You Yan looked at him from left to right and liked him more and more, so she found Jiang Jianhuan increasingly pleasing to the eye. She discovered that although he didn't talk much, he was very serious about his work, and You Yan liked this kind of quiet, unassuming person who didn't take the initiative.
There are too many cunning people in the entertainment industry, and not many are truly kind. After fighting so many monsters, it's actually quite comfortable to meet someone as gentle and kind as this.
"Aren't you curious why I'm targeting Chi Lan like this?" You Yan asked casually, her hand smoothing her skirt, her head lowered. Jiang Jianhuan was taken aback.
"Why?" After thinking for a moment, she still asked in agreement.
You Yan looked up at her, her eyes filled with an inscrutable expression.
"Want to know?"
"It will be all right."
You Yan smiled, raising her lips. "You know I used to be quite close to Tong Man, right?"
Tong Man is another actress in the film industry, whose status is comparable to You Yan's, and even a few years ago she was a bit more popular. The two became famous early in their careers because of the same drama. They are good friends both on and off screen, often interacting and sharing photos on social media, and calling each other "darling".
Almost everyone knows they have a good relationship, and the media always asks about the other one in every interview. Because of this "sisterhood," the two of them have gained a lot of attention.
Even Jiang Jianhuan, who doesn't follow the entertainment industry, has heard about it, but in recent years there seems to have been much less news about them, and they are rarely seen together. Even when they meet in public, it's always awkward. As a result, many news releases and entertainment gossip accounts are spreading rumors that their 'sisterhood' has broken down.
"When we first met, we were all newcomers, with no complicated thoughts. After filming, we would meet up for meals every day, go shopping, and discuss gossip in the industry..." You Yan said softly, her tone seemingly filled with nostalgia.
"Later, we both became famous. Although we saw each other less often because we were busy, we still considered each other very good friends."
“Until two years ago, we took on the same reality show. Chi Lan had just debuted not long ago and was somehow put in through the connections of some investor.”
"The girl is young but quite shrewd. At that time, Tong Man and I were in talks for the female lead in a movie. She auditioned first, and then the director approached me. Chi Lan found out about this and used underhanded tactics to tell Tong Man, and then things got out of hand."
You Yan smiled, looking rather amused, then turned to stare at her, her lips curving into a smile.
Do you know how it ended up?
Jiang Jianhuan stood there and continued to wait, while You Yan didn't expect to get an answer from her and continued talking to herself.
"In the end, the female lead in that movie fell to Chi Lan. Isn't that ridiculous? She used me and Tong Man as stepping stones. She's really something. If it weren't for her dad backing her up, I would have made sure she couldn't make it in the industry."
You Yan narrowed her charming eyes slightly, her red lips opening and closing, her light tone revealing a sinister ruthlessness.
Jiang Jianhuan believed that she really would do that.
"It's all in the past now, and you're all very famous." Jiang Jianhuan could only offer this bland consolation, but fortunately, You Yan didn't seem to mind.
"Ugh, let's not talk about these unhappy things anymore. Can you take a look and see if I can tighten the waist of this dress a bit more?"
Jiang Jianhuan bent down to examine it carefully and measured it with his fingers.
"Leave some room for maneuver; it will look more natural."
"Alright then," You Yan said lazily.
After the recording of these three episodes, You Yan delivered outstanding performances in each episode, generating a lot of buzz and attention, and her score also widened the gap with the second place.
By the way, Chi Lan is ranked second.
This was incredibly gratifying for her, and she would tag Jiang Jianhuan on Weibo every few days. As many netizens knew that You Yan had a good relationship with the designer she worked with on the show, they couldn't help but think highly of her.
You Yan always felt that the people she liked must be very good. Her fans often visited Jiang Jianhuan's Weibo, and the number of fans that had initially been zero gradually rose to five or six figures.
She occasionally posts a Weibo post, and it gets hundreds or even thousands of comments. Many people confess their love for her, saying her clothing designs are absolutely gorgeous! (^o^)/~ I love them so much!
This left Su Mo feeling somewhat uneasy.
He never checks his private messages when he logs into Weibo, occasionally flips through the comments, and it's common for him to go months without posting anything. But whenever Jiang Jianhuan's Weibo shows even the slightest clue, he immediately notices it, like a cat that has caught a mouse.
"You didn't follow me back?!" Su Mo only discovered this today, because after opening Jiang Jianhuan's profile, she found that the number of people she followed showed 10+.
Curious, he flipped through the pages and saw You Yan, the official Weibo account of the iro brand, Jiang Yuan, and the designers and staff from the show "Her New Clothes." He scrolled to the bottom but couldn't find his name.
Su Mo could hardly believe it.
Faced with his accusations, Jiang Jianhuan felt a little guilty. The situation was chaotic that day, and she hadn't remembered it. The thought occasionally flashed through her mind, but she deliberately ignored it.
It's better to avoid trouble.
Jiang Jianhuan followed this principle, although this idea often caused him even bigger trouble later on.
For example, right now.
“We’re already so familiar with each other, there’s no need to worry about these superficial things,” Jiang Jianhuan said. Besides, his Weibo was full of nothing but advertisements and business-like updates, offering absolutely nothing of interest.
