The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 26.2
Lu Chiqiu came out of the fitting room and saw the bracelet on Lu Yiran’s wrist: “Hmm? You’re wearing it, it’s quite nice.”
“Hello, Auntie, you look so beautiful!”
Lu Chiqiu smiled and took out a gift for Chen Ziyun. “Oh, Ziyun, you’re still so sweet.”
“Thank you for the gift, Auntie” After Lu Chiqiu left, Chen Ziyun opened the gift.
“Auntie is so generous.” Chen Ziyun took out the earrings and admired them.
Looking at the time, Lu Yiran got up, straightened her dress, and said to Chen Ziyun, “It’s time to go.”
Arriving at the hotel, Lu Yiran saw several familiar celebrities as soon as she entered.
Seeing her mothers being toasted as soon as they entered, Lu Yiran told them she would wait for them on the side.
“Why don’t you go with the aunties?” Chen Ziyun took a sip of wine and asked Lu Yiran.
Lu Yiran shook her head. “It’s too much trouble. If I go with them, I’ll have to talk to a bunch of strangers. I can’t chat and laugh like them.” She said, reaching for her wine glass.
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the hotel. Lu Yiran saw Wen Shiyan weave through the crowd amidst lights and flowers.
Lu Yiran: “…” Is the world really that small? She picked up her wine glass and turned her back to hide herself from Wen Shiyan.
Wen Shiyan walked towards Lu Yiran step by step, and Lu Yiran nervously brought the wine glass to her lips.
Wen Shiyan reached out and took Lu Yiran’s wine, downing it in one gulp: “Didn’t you say you can’t drink?”
“You, you, you!” Lu Yiran looked at her empty hand, the wine Wen Shiyan had drunk. “I already drank…” Lu Yiran helplessly covered her face with her fingers.
After Lu Yiran finished speaking, the atmosphere between the two became awkward.
“Miss Wen is here too.” Chen Ziyun noticed something was off between the two and said softly, “Did I disturb you?”
Hearing Xiao Yu call her, Wen Shiyan said to the two, “No, I have something to do and need to leave for a bit. I’ll come find you later.” After she finished speaking, she took a glass of wine from the table and went to find Xiao Yu.
Seeing Wen Shiyan talking and drinking with others not far away, Lu Yiran assumed he was just being polite and went to the other side with Chen Ziyun without paying any attention.
Lu Yiran and Chen Ziyun were getting some fresh air by the window when, after a while, they were approached by Director Wang, whose shirt buttons were bulging from his obesity.
Director Wang held a wine glass and looked at the two of them with ill intent. “Miss Lu is here too,” he said, leering at Lu Yiran. “This isn’t a place for Miss Lu. Miss Lu, could it be that you’ve become someone’s…” Before he could finish the last two words, Lu Yiran’s hand lashed out at him.
A crisp sound rang out, and Director Wang covered his face, staring at Lu Yiran in disbelief.
“You, you woman! How dare you hit me!” he glared angrily at Lu Yiran,
still clutching his face. “I hit you,” Lu Yiran said, wiping her hand with a wet wipe, disgusted. Disgusting! Her hand hurt terribly. She should have used something else to hit him; indeed, force has an equal and opposite effect.
Director Wang spat on the ground. “Do you know who I am?!”
“Heh, and do you know who I am?” Lu Yiran stared coldly at Director Wang.
Lu Yiran was already taller than Director Wang, and wearing high heels, he had to look up slightly to see her eyes. He was a little startled and took a step back, but remembering how easily he had kicked Lu Yiran out of the crew, he couldn’t believe she had someone backing her.
“Lu Yiran, are you trying to scare me?” Director Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Director Wang didn’t notice that Wen Shiyan and Xiao Yu were already standing behind him.
“Director Wang, aren’t you going too far?” Xiao Yu looked coldly at the back of Director Wang’s head. After hearing the voice, Director Wang saw the two behind him and looked at them indifferently.
“Too far? I was just joking. What does it matter to me if she takes it seriously?”
“And who are you? Lu Yiran, do you think I’ll be scared and believe you have some kind of background just because you found a stranger to cooperate with?” Director Wang finished speaking and laughed like a villain.
After laughing, he grabbed a full glass of wine from the table and downed it in one gulp, several buttons popping off his shirt. “Lu Yiran, don’t be silly, do you even know my family?”
Lu Yiran genuinely didn’t know Director Wang’s family. Seeing Lu Yiran’s silence, Director Wang assumed she was scared. Just as he was about to attack Lu Yiran, Wen Shiyan stepped in front of her.
“Time to sober up, Director Wang.” Wen Shiyan coldly poured iced water on Director Wang. “I’m only calling you Director Wang now because we were business partners before, but now… just thinking about working with such a disgusting person makes me uncomfortable.” Wen Shiyan threw down the water container.
Hearing the commotion from Lu Yiran’s side, Pei Ruochu and Lu Chiqiu rushed to her side.
“Wang family brat? What are you doing here?” Lu Chiqiu remembered that the person in front of her was supposed to be locked up at home by his father for causing trouble before, so why was he with her daughter now?
“Look for yourself!” Director Wang pointed to his face, then covered it with his hands as if he had lost face.
“Who hit you?” Pei Ruochu asked, and Director Wang angrily pointed at Lu Yiran, who nonchalantly raised her hand.
“Good job, Yiran.” Pei Ruochu knew Director Wang’s character. “You must have been the one who spoke rudely first.” Lu Chiqiu said with certainty. “So
what if I was? Just an incompetent actress, in the past I would have…” Director Wang was interrupted by Wen Shiyan’s slap. Director Wang froze on
the spot. But when he saw that Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan’s bracelets and necklaces were the same, he pointed at the two of them like a madman. “No wonder, no wonder you stopped staying on set after Lu Yiran left, so you two were already having an affair!”
“Are you crazy?” Chen Ziyun couldn’t help but slap Director Wang as well.
Pei Ruochu said to Wen Shiyan, “Miss Wen, could you please call security?” Wen Shiyan hesitated for a moment, but still went to find security with Xiao Yu.
After Wen Shiyan left, Pei Ruochu kicked Director Wang in the knee, causing him to lose his balance and kneel on the ground. Pei Ruochu bent down slightly and whispered to him, “Guess what my relationship with Lu Yiran is?”
Director Wang was stunned by the kick. Realizing he had been kicked down and was kneeling on the ground in such a humiliating way, he started cursing. “I don’t care what your relationship with Lu Yiran is! When my dad comes, even if you’re Pei Ruochu, you won’t escape today!”
Seeing that the man before her was refusing to listen to reason, Pei Ruochu snorted coldly. She grabbed Director Wang by the collar and shoved him aside. “Just wait, your father will thank me when he gets here.”
Before the security guards even arrived, Director Wang’s father indeed arrived quickly.
He immediately put on a fawning smile, looking at Pei Ruochu and Lu Chiqiu. Pei Ruochu coldly said to him, “I just helped Mr. Wang discipline his son a little. Mr. Wang won’t mind, will he?”
“Of course not, Miss Pei did a good job disciplining him. This unfilial son caused such a big mess this time, you did a good job teaching him a lesson.” He said, bowing and scraping.
Director Wang looked at his father’s actions in disbelief. He pointed at Lu Yiran and said angrily, “Dad! She hit me first! What’s wrong with you! You always protect me!” He didn’t understand why his father was being so respectful to Pei Ruochu and Lu Chiqiu.
Seeing that Lu Yiran’s features were somewhat similar to Pei Ruochu and Lu Chiqiu’s, Director Wang’s father was afraid of getting into trouble. He had more than one child. He quickly slapped Director Wang as well, as if trying to distance himself from him. “Idiot! Do you know who you’re talking to?!”
Seeing Director Wang being slapped repeatedly, Pei Ruochu said, “You didn’t answer when I asked you to guess earlier, so now, I’ll tell you, Lu Yiran is my daughter with Lu Chiqiu.” Looking at
these cool mothers, Lu Yiran thought to herself, “You really have to make good use of your family background, otherwise people will always think you’re easy to bully.”
Director Wang knew his father wouldn’t help him, and after hearing Pei Ruochu’s words, he froze on the spot.
Mother and daughter… After his mind cleared completely, thinking about what he had done in the past, Director Wang only knew he was doomed.
“I… I drank alcohol just now, it was all because of the alcohol, I didn’t mean to offend Miss Lu, how could I be that kind of person…” Director Wang shamelessly attributed all his mistakes and actions to alcohol.
Even alcohol would call him shameless.
Lu Yiran had already anticipated that Director Wang would use such an excuse. At first, she wondered why he had drunk so much, but after seeing what happened, she realized that not only she could guess, but everyone present probably could too.
On the stairs, a person leaned on the handrail, sipping wine and enjoying the spectacle.
Question: How many times was Director Wang beaten in total?
Let’s count carefully how many times Wang Dao (Director Wang) was hit in the story:
- First slap → by Lu Yiran
→ ✅ 1st hit - Second slap → by Wen Shiyan
→ ✅ 2nd hit - Third slap → by Chen Ziyun
→ ✅ 3rd hit - Fourth hit → by Wang Dao’s father
→ ✅ 4th hit
Although Pei Ruochu kicked him, that’s not a slap but a kick, so it doesn’t count as a hit with a hand.
