“Divinity” Celebration Banquet.

Actually, even Director Li Fengyun had not anticipated that “Divinity” could become such a blazing hit.

The senior executives of Star Entertainment were all present; as the movie’s largest investor, Star Entertainment was undoubtedly the biggest winner.

Gu Shengyin wasn’t doing badly either—setting her high salary aside, the initial agreement included a 5% box office revenue share for her, which, by all estimates, was already a done deal in the nine-figure range.

Moreover, as the leading actress and the soul of “Divinity,” she was virtually stealing the spotlight from everyone else today.

Ming Shujia also appeared at the banquet.

However, her identity was as Yu Siyang’s female companion—based on her standing, she normally wouldn’t qualify for such an occasion.

Gu Shengyin moved among the various investors, her smile radiant as she clinked glasses with them.

Ming Shujia spotted the investor who had introduced her to the “Divinity” crew.

He was beaming kindly, raising a glass of champagne to Gu Shengyin, “Miss Ruan and my daughter are about the same age. While she is still a little girl with eyes only for brand names, Miss Ruan has already forged such a remarkable career. Truly young and promising.”

With polite grace, Gu Shengyin clinked glasses with him, “Miss Yuan is innocent and romantic, Mr. Yuan is the lucky one.”

Her comment elicited hearty laughter from the crowd.

The Yuan surnamed businessman turned his head and saw Ming Shujia, his eyes registering surprise before he looked at Yu Siyang beside her and revealed a meaningful smile.

Ming Shujia pretended not to see.

She watched Gu Shengyin amidst the crowd, graceful and poised.

At the same age, she herself was mired in the muck, mingling with various men just to carve out a better opportunity for herself.

But what about Ruan Keyi?

Even if she did nothing at home, there would still be plenty of large-scale productions she couldn’t even think of, knocking at her door, whether she chose to participate would depend on her mood. While she had to ingratiate herself with men she didn’t even like, Keyi could so generously flaunt her love life.

Why? She finally had the chance to start over, to come into Ming Shujia’s body, was it just to contrast others’ glory with her own misery?

Yu Siyang noticed her eyes constantly following Ruan Keyi and pulled her aside.

“What are you thinking? Don’t think you hide it well; the envy in your eyes is almost seeping out,” he scoffed, warning her, “I tell you, there are many in this entertainment circle who envy Ruan Keyi, but so far, not a single one has been able to surpass her.”

“You’re not from the same world as her, it’s best to keep your little schemes to yourself.”

Having said this, he no longer paid her any attention and walked toward an investor.

“Keyi!”

Gu Shengyin felt a bit dizzy—tonight, she had drunk a bit too much.

Upon hearing this voice, she discreetly furrowed her brows.

Zhou Chuansheng, in the original story, was the scumbag who conspired with Ming Shujia to trap and marry Ruan Keyi, only to not cherish her.

Of course, at this moment, he was still that rich young man single-mindedly pursuing Gu Shengyin.

“Mr. Zhou, we are not that close,” Gu Shengyin corrected him, “Please call me Miss Ruan.”

Zhou Chuansheng felt frustrated, considering himself handsome and wealthy, he had always been successful in the game of love. The first time he saw Ruan Keyi, he was deeply attracted to her unique aura.

Yet, almost a year had passed, no matter how eagerly he courted her, she remained indifferent to him.
