Chapter 351: Chapter 355: Entrance (5)

Yu Zexiao also furrowed his brows, unsure of how Jian Anning came to know someone from Huasi Film and Television! Moreover—

Although he had never met Situ Xuan and was unaware of any ulterior motives he might have, any man who had his eyes on Jian Anning instinctively repelled him!

Without another word, he reached out, grabbed Jian Anning’s arm, and pulled her to his side, "How do you know him?"

Jian Anning explained, "It was the day of the banquet, after you left first. I didn’t have a key card, so Mr. Situ brought me in. Later, when Ziyin had an incident, I happened to encounter him, and he helped both me and Ziyin out, so that’s how I know him."

After speaking, Jian Anning stepped forward and said politely to him, "Last time, due to the lack of time and my friend not being in good shape, I didn’t get the chance to properly thank you. — Really, thank you so much! Without your help, my friend could have faced an even greater crisis. I appreciate your assistance."

Situ Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression very gentle, "It was just a small effort, not worthy of mention."

Today’s Jian Anning, unlike the formal blazer she wore at the last banquet or the casual clothes she appeared in with Zhao Ziyin, was outfitted differently due to her character being a wealthy heiress. The prop department dressed her in high-class, fitted long dresses and the latest high heels. Her hair was also slightly adjusted, making her appear like a languid and haughty urban lady.

Her skin was particularly fair, and standing beneath the highlight, set off by the red dress, she appeared even more slender and her complexion radiant and smooth. Compared to Jiang Xuanqi next to her, who was disheveled, dirtied, and bound after a scene of being beaten, Jian was on a whole different level.

— Not to mention, with her image transformed by the change of clothes into a naturally noble demeanor, she even seemed more like the proud, capricious heiress in the story than the second female lead, Zhang Ying!

When Situ Xuan saw such a version of Jian Anning, a gleam flashed across his grey-blue eyes. However, that flash of light faded swiftly and didn’t linger on her, as he merely nodded slightly towards her.

Jian Anning wanted to say more, but Yu Zexiao abruptly yanked her arm, pulling her close. She also knew about Yu Zexiao’s pettiness. Although slightly upset, she still ended up bowing to him, "Mr. Situ, thank you."

Yu Zexiao frowned, looking up at the man. Although Situ Xuan didn’t wear the falsely benevolent guise of Lu Jiayuan, who greeted everyone with a smile, Yu felt that there was something quite unpleasant mixed into Situ Xuan’s calm and composed demeanor.

But as for what it exactly was, he couldn’t articulate, all he knew was that he really disliked Situ Xuan!

Luckily, after Jian Anning finished thanking him, Situ Xuan was soon surrounded by a group of people.

At the scene, probably only Yu Zexiao faced Situ Xuan with a frown while the others swarmed around, flattering and networking as they came.

After all, it’s second nature for those in the entertainment industry to gravitate towards benefits and shy away from harm. Huasi Film and Television were about to partner with Hollywood’s famous directors, scriptwriters, and top dance and music producers to debut in Huaxia Country. The last banquet was quite lively, yet they hadn’t sent a truly influential person to oversee the event.
