Chapter 426: Look, Theres a Blind Person Here

The Starlight Dinner was a platform for those in the entertainment industry to interact. More than that, however, it was a forum for cross-industry exchange, particularly in production, publicity, distribution, and management. Many people were invited to this grand event.
Fu Lin won the Best Supporting Actor award at this years Starlight Awards, and Yin Zhens company became even more popular.
Several artists performed at the banquet. Lin Gantang watched a few of them with interest. She turned to Yin Zhen and said, I have some impression of the people performing. Are they all trainees from your company?
Yin Zhen nodded.
Why isnt Lin Fan here?
Lin Fan? He signed another contract; hes no longer a trainee.
Lin Gantang studied her expression carefully, noting nothing of concern, so she did not pursue her line of inquiry regarding Lin Fan. Youve managed the company well. Im sure your father and the rest of the Yin family have nothing bad to say about the results youve produced.
Dad? Hes fine. Yin He, on the other hand, is another kettle of fish. I think hes jealous of how fast I can earn money. Yin Zhen swirled the burgundy liquid in her wine glass.
Hes quite the character, isnt he? I doubt hes satisfied with the status quo, Lin Gantang teased.
Hes ambitious, is what you mean. Dad hasnt even retired yet. Hes only stepped up for a little more than half a year and already wants to usurp control of the Yin family. You know how my father is: hes selfish. Yin He takes after him, and now they are at constant loggerheads, Yin Zhen said. I had planned on returning as soon as I settled things here, but theres no need for that now. Ill sit back and reap the rewards once theyve tired each other; theres no rush.
Yin Zhen could not help but recall the trouble Yin He faced just before the New Year. Someone must have made things difficult for him.
Yin He hasnt been pestering you, it seems, Yin Zhen eyed Lin Gantang, Tan Huiya also hurt her leg. Evil begets evil. Truly, your boyfriend is rather protective of you.
Are you jealous? Lin Gantang sipped on her wine, asking. If youre jealous, you should find a good boyfriend too.
Im not like you. How am I any worse than a man? Besides, even if I find one, whos to say hell take care of me? I might end up having to shield him from others! Yin Zhen scoffed.
Thats true. Lin Gantang chuckled. It seems like you still want to raise a delicate flower.
Its a pity you arent into women; I wouldnt mind being with you, Yin Zhen gazed mournfully at her friend.
Dont. Dont go down there. Lin Gantang shivered, rubbing her forearms to rid herself of goosebumps. Look for Bei Bei. Everyone knows Bei Bei likes women, Lin Gantang urged.
Tch. You make it sound like its news to me. We all know its just a pretense. Yin Zhen shook her head. She saw right through Bei Beis charade.
Bei Bei was no lesbian.
How do you know whether its false or not? Bei Beis mother seems to think its true. Lin Gantang smiled.
Yin Zhen gave Lin Gantang the side-eye. If Bei Bei liked women, would Wen Yanqing have allowed you anywhere near her?
Youre reading too much into things. Dont I get along quite well with Le Yu? Lin Gantangs brows shot to her hairline in disbelief. Dont speak ill of Yanqing. Hes so considerate. Would he be so possessive?
Hehe.
That was why Yin Zhen swore off love. Love made fools of men and women alike. Look, wasnt there someone blind right beside her?
Ill let you mull over my words about Yanqing. Im going to the bathroom. Yin Zhen got up and made her way to the restroom.
Yin Zhen passed a wall, separating the venue from the outside. It felt like she had traversed from one world to another. She stood in the corridor with several others who had stepped outside to escape the noise.
Everyone else was at the banquet; not many people lingered outside. Yin Zhen walked along the long corridor toward the bathroom. As she turned a corner, a voice called, Sister.
Yin Zhen paused, turning to face the one who had called her.
Lin Fan stood at the door. The world beyond it seemed to stretch on in darkness. His pitch-black eyes stared at her, unblinking. Having caught Yin Zhens attention, he smiled.
Sister, long time no see. Did you miss me? Lin Fan stood by the door, his gaze a firestorm of passion..
