The Scumbag Attackers Regretted It Deeply After My Death - Chapter 19

Upstairs, in the Presidential Suite 808.

Yao Anna was curled up on the comfortable sofa, taking a phone call. On the other end of the line was Director Zou of Phoenix Nirvana. He called to inform Yao Anna to come for her costume fitting photos tomorrow at nine in the morning.

“Nine o’clock, right? Yes, yes, I understand. Don’t worry, Director Zou, I’ve completely recovered from my illness.”

After a few more pleasantries, Director Zou suddenly paused. He said with hesitation, “Anna, I have something I want to consult you about.”

“Oh? Go ahead, Director Zou.”

Yao Anna was a little surprised. Director Zou was a famous domestic director, a big shot with real talent, and he was consulting her for advice?

She pondered. Phoenix Nirvana was currently preparing for its start, so it must be something concerning the crew.

Sure enough, Director Zou cleared his throat and suddenly asked, “Anna, what do you think of our Alpha lead, Lu Fanqing?”

“Lu Fanqing?” Yao Anna was slightly taken aback. She didn’t quite understand what Director Zou meant.

“Yes, first tell me what your impression of her is.”

Everyone in the industry knew that Director Zou was straightforward. In fact, a direct person like him would typically find it hard to navigate the circle, but his skills were outstanding; he had a unique sense of cinematic expression and a great set of filming techniques. Every drama he filmed became a hit, and viewers and netizens alike bought into his work.

Unlike others, Yao Anna admired Director Zou’s personality. In her previous life, she actually quite wanted to collaborate with such a straightforward and bold director, but unfortunately, Yao Zhenzhen had manipulated the situation and stolen this precious opportunity, which made her deeply regretful.

Regarding Director Zou’s question, Yao Anna didn’t overthink it, simply recalling the information she had on Lu Fanqing.

She didn’t know Lu Fanqing well; she had only seen her on TV in her previous life. Lu Fanqing was a typical young Alpha idol: fair-skinned, tall, handsome, with long legs, giving off the vibe of a Korean-style singing and dancing idol, a mass-produced celebrity. In her previous life, she became immensely popular after filming Phoenix Nirvana.

As for acting, it was just so-so. As for her personality, she hadn’t really interacted with her…

“A popular young Alpha, average acting skills, but self-generating traffic.”

Yao Anna gave an objective assessment.

“Hmm, you’re right. Actually, I didn’t intend to cast her initially. It’s just that Rong Jingxi’s agent suddenly called me and said she had cleared her schedule, so I’m a bit hesitant…”

Hesitating about replacing the Alpha lead?

Yao Anna immediately understood what Director Zou was struggling with. Compared to Lu Fanqing, Rong Jingxi was professionally trained, and her acting skills must be far superior. Moreover, Rong Jingxi recently participated in a very popular variety show, her popularity soaring, making her extremely famous.

If comparing popularity and traffic, Rong Jingxi had at least five times more fans than Lu Fanqing. It was clear that whether for the quality of the final television presentation or for audience traffic, choosing Rong Jingxi was more suitable for Phoenix Nirvana than Lu Fanqing.

Yao Anna pursed her lips and smiled faintly, “You think too highly of me. No matter who the Alpha lead is ultimately cast as, I will unconditionally support your decision, Director Zou.”

Yao Anna’s answer was too diplomatic. Director Zou knew there would be no result from further questioning. He sighed, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and hung up the phone.

At the same time, Yao Anna breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn’t give Director Zou a suggestion because no matter who she chose, she would offend the other party. She couldn’t do something so thankless.

No matter who the other lead was cast as, she only needed to know that Phoenix Nirvana would definitely be a hit. That was enough. It wasn’t a big issue and wouldn’t affect her plan.

Just then, a pleasant doorbell rang outside the room.

She looked up and casually asked, “Who is it?”

“…Delivery.”

A muffled voice came from outside the door. The sound was severely distorted through the thick door, only vaguely discernible as a low female voice.

Yao Anna then remembered she had ordered takeout. It must be the hotel staff delivering it. She got up and walked toward the door, pulling it open, just about to take the delivery from the woman’s hand when she suddenly noticed something wasn’t quite right!

Did the servers at a five-star hotel wear such nice clothes now? She was actually wearing a formal white custom-made suit!?

Her gaze moved slightly upward, finally settling on Jiang Nian’an’s cold, handsome eyes, and Yao Anna couldn’t help but be stunned!

“Yao Anna, we meet again.”

“Jiang Nian’an, are you ever going to stop!”

Still haunting her, are you?

Yao Anna reacted quickly, pushing with her hand, and immediately tried to close the door. She didn’t even want the delivery; she’d rather starve than see Jiang Nian’an!

Seeing that she wanted to shut her out, Jiang Nian’an quickly reached out to block the door. She raised the tray in her hand, which held a plate of exquisitely arranged steak and a bottle of ’82 Lafite red wine. She could actually hold it extremely steady with just one hand!

“What? You won’t even eat when you see me?”

“Correct! I’m already full of anger, why would I eat?”

Jiang Nian’an raised an eyebrow, not minding her fiancée’s poor attitude. The two were deadlocked at the door for a long time. The Alpha was stronger than her. Yao Anna glared at her until her eyes felt sore. She took a deep breath and simply let go of the door with a sudden tug!

The Alpha seemed not to have expected Yao Anna’s sudden move. In an instant, she couldn’t retract her strength, and her tall, slender figure lurched forward. Jiang Nian’an tightened her core and waist, shuddering as she firmly held her position, barely stopping herself from falling over. Fortunately, her hand was steady. In this sudden situation, the tray didn’t fly out, and nothing spilled—a close call, or someone would have gone hungry.

After dissipating the impact, she looked up to see Yao Anna turn gracefully and return to the living room sofa, where she sat down, her pretty face tight, her arms crossed, looking cold and aloof.

Since she couldn’t escape, she decided not to hide. She wanted to see what Jiang Nian’an was trying to do by going to such lengths to track her down.

Jiang Nian’an pursed her lips, closed the door behind her, walked to the living room, placed the tray on the coffee table, and casually pulled up a chair to sit opposite her fiancée. She stared intently at Yao Anna’s somewhat cold face and said in a deep voice, “Shall we talk?”

Yao Anna sneered, “I don’t think we have anything to talk about.”

But the next moment, the Alpha stood up and enclosed her, a cool fragrance unique to Jiang Nian’an wafting over. A subtle scent of cold cedar and sandalwood, faint yet powerfully present, impossible to ignore.

The distance between the two instantly became extremely close, as if their breaths mingled, their ears touching intimately. It was so close that Yao Anna could clearly see her own reflection in the Alpha’s eyes.

Her breathing hitched.

This person, she wouldn’t try to force herself on her, would she! Marking was impossible; it wouldn’t happen in this lifetime.
