Chapter 490: Qin Muran was ignored

A few days ago, rumors about Yan Xian spread. Everyone had doubts about her character. But after the rumors gradually subsided, she was still the goddess in the eyes of many male students. After all, a woman who had looks and a family background was the dream of many boys.

Yan Xian shook her head and said, "It’s okay. I don’t mind. It’s my fault for liking him!"

Everyone, "..."

Miss Yan really liked Qin Mufeng.

Many people couldn’t help but doubt the rumor that Fang Yinglong, Lu Chengfu and Pei Lang had framed Qin Mufeng because of Yan Xian. Since Goddess Yan liked Qin Mufeng so much, why would she ever want to harm Qin Mufeng?

After being rejected by Qin Mufeng, Yan Xian looked at Qin Mufeng’s back with a slightly aggrieved expression. She immediately made the surrounding male students feel pity for her, "Yan Xian, you don’t have to be sad. Qin Mufeng has never been good to female students anyway."

When Yan Xian heard this, she immediately felt uncomfortable. She thought to herself, ’How dare you compare me to those common sluts?’ However, Yan Xian nodded and said, "It’s fine. I like him, so I definitely won’t give up."

Yan Xian’s current strategy was to boldly confess and pursue Qin Mufeng. She didn’t believe that Qin Mufeng wouldn’t be moved. It was easier for a woman to pursue a man than the other way round. In the past, she might have been a little more subtle, but after knowing Qin Mufeng’s identity, she was determined to get Qin Mufeng.

After Qin Mufeng and his classmates returned to the dormitory, he had some doubts in his heart. He felt that something was very wrong with Yan Xian. This sudden change in attitude made him have a very bad feeling.

He did not have a good impression of Yan Xian, especially after learning that she secretly instigated and instructed his business partners to frame him.

But currently, he could not figure out what Yan Xian was thinking. In the end, he let the matter rest for a while.

On the other side.

The night was alive with the vibrant energy of celebration as guests filtered into the opulent mansion of Gu Qiang. The occasion was a grand celebration party in honor of the extraordinary success of his latest drama, ’Garden of Youth.’ The moon hung like a silver lantern in the night sky, casting a soft glow over the elegant garden that stretched out behind Gu Qiang’s majestic home.

A red carpet lined with sparkling fairy lights led guests from the entrance to the heart of the party. The estate’s gardens had been transformed into a wonderland of color and festivity. Lanterns and paper parasols dangled from the branches of ancient cherry blossom trees, their soft hues painting a dreamy, almost ethereal atmosphere.

At the center of it all was a grand stage, adorned with oriental decorations and an enormous banner featuring the drama’s title, ’Garden of Youth,’ written in graceful calligraphy. The stage was flanked by two massive cherry blossom trees in full bloom, creating a surreal backdrop.

Elegantly dressed men and women from the entertainment industry, donning formal suits and glamorous gowns, mingled in a sea of sparkling conversation. The clinking of champagne glasses and the hum of laughter filled the air. The scent of delectable dishes wafted from food stations scattered throughout the garden, offering a diverse selection of international cuisine to satisfy every palate.

A live jazz band played enchanting melodies, their smooth tunes weaving through the crowd, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and elegance. The band’s lead singer had a voice that held the audience rapt, her melodies dancing harmoniously with the soft swaying of the cherry blossoms.

Gu Qiang himself, dressed in a sleek tuxedo, moved gracefully through the garden, greeting his guests with a warm smile and sincere gratitude for their contributions to the success of ’Garden of Youth.’

At this moment, everyone’s attention was diverted to the entrance where Qin Muran stood elegantly. She had arrived just now and was speaking to a cast member near the entrance.

Dressed in an exquisite and eye-catching gown that flowed like liquid silk, Qin Muran exuded an air of elegance and confidence. The gown’s rich, deep blue hue seemed to capture the essence of the night itself, reflecting the moonlight and the soft glow of the garden lights. The dress was adorned with intricate beadwork that shimmered with every step she took, and its graceful design accentuated her every move.

As she entered the mansion, guests couldn’t help but steal glances and offer compliments. She received a steady stream of warm greetings and well-wishes, and the warmth of the attention she was receiving seemed to envelop her like a comforting embrace.

However, Qin Muran’s happiness did not last for long as people’s attention was soon drawn towards Jiang Xun.

As Jiang Xun gracefully made her way into the garden, she embodied a level of beauty that left the attendees momentarily speechless. Her presence seemed to redefine the very notion of what true beauty meant.

Dressed in an elegant gown that appeared to shimmer with its own inner light, Jiang Xun looked like a vision. Her gown was a masterpiece of intricate lacework and satin, showcasing her statuesque figure with a sense of grace and poise. Her jet-black hair was styled flawlessly, and her makeup was impeccable, highlighting her features with an almost otherworldly allure.

As Jiang Xun entered, heads turned, and a hush fell over the crowd as they realized the sheer magnificence of her appearance. Her mere presence seemed to overshadow the attention Qin Muran had previously garnered. Jiang Xun’s beauty was not just skin-deep; it exuded from within, casting a spell on those in her proximity.

Jiang Xun’s sheer presence drew an immediate crowd. People rushed to speak with her, showering her with praise and admiration. The contrast between her and Qin Muran was undeniable, leaving Qin Muran standing alone for a moment.

[Sister Xun, you are here!]

[Sister Xun, you were absolutely phenomenal in the drama. I can’t get over how talented and beautiful you are!]

[Sister Xun, Yu Qianjiang was so handsome! Simply handsome!]

[Sister Xun, you are our idol from now on. Where did you learn such good acting skills from?]

[Yes, sister Xun. Can you guide us in the future? Let’s exchange our WeChat.]

"Hey, you guys, at least let her enter first before you speak to her," Gu Qiang walked towards Jiang Xun with a smile.

As Gu Qiang’s aura was strong, everyone around Jiang Xun subconsciously made way for him.

Gu Qiang smiled, "Jiang Xun, welcome to the party. You look absolutely stunning."

Gu Qiang then engaged in a small talk with Jiang Xun, making the other people divert their attention from her. Jiang Xun also understood Gu Qiang’s intentions and thus she looked at him gratefully, "Thank you."

Gu Qiang and Jiang Xun spoke to each other comfortably. Jiang Xun was very surprised to see the grand mansion and thus Gu Qiang offered to give her a tour around the mansion. Soon, Shi Huan also joined them and the three toured around the mansion.

As Qin Muran stood in the background, watching Gu Qiang and Shi Huan accompany Jiang Xun in the party and witnessing the attention she was receiving, a mix of jealousy and resentment filled her heart. As the female lead of the drama, this attention should have been hers, however Jiang Xun had taken everything away from her.

Qin Muran’s smile, which had been forced earlier, now waned as she struggled to conceal her emotions. However, soon, an evil smile erupted on Qin Muran’s face. Thinking of her plans, she consoled herself by thinking that all this would be stopped soon. Jiang Xun would be destroyed soon.

When Jiang Xun, Gu Qiang and Shi Huan returned to the garden after touring the mansion, a female artiste immediately brought a glass of wine towards the three and politely offered a toast. Some of the other artistes saw it and brought their glasses over as well. The other crew members also toasted the trio for the success of the drama.

As Qin Muran grappled with the swirl of emotions bubbling within, seeing everyone toasting the trio, she concealed her jealousy and resentment knowingly. With a practiced smile that betrayed nothing of her inner turmoil, she lifted a glass and made her way to Gu Qiang and Shi Huan.

"Director Shi, Brother Qiang," Qin Muran raised her glass, "To the success of ’Garden of Youth’ and to the amazing journey we’ve had together!"

Her toast was gracious directed at the two men standing over there. However, Qin Muran made a conscious choice to avoid any direct interaction with Jiang Xun, deliberately omitting her from the toast. She could not gain a higher ground by toasting the second female lead by herself. Thus, she deliberately ignored Jiang Xun.

Qin Muran’s presence and toast made the atmosphere awkward.
