Chapter 306: Sincerity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Both Luo Ying and Du Tian’s expressions became unusually nuanced for a brief second.

Why was Shen Lan here? Was she here to start a war?

However, Shen Lan did something unexpected in the next second.

She walked into the dressing room and stuffed the flowers into the trash can. She reached in, pulled out an item, and used it to secure the lid of the trash can with a knot.

The effects of this shock were universal.

“What are you doing?” Her actions were incomprehensible to Luo Ying.

“I need some time to talk to you privately.” Shen Lan raised her left hand. A tiny instrument was dangling from it. “I just plucked it from the flower,” she said.

As a matter of fact, Liu Sheng and Lin Jin were the ones who suggested she check out the studio.

She may have been able to avoid meeting them in her ward, but she could not hide from their messages.

Lin Jin had informed her that Du Tian would be appearing on a talk show today. It is possible Zhou Li would show up, too. As long as Lin Jin randomly arranged for a host or guest to visit, they would be granted access to the studio.

Shen Lan was curious about their plans, so she agreed.

But her actions were very different from the “plan” she told Liu Sheng about.

Shen Lan had discovered the foreign object in the flower on the way here. Upon entering the restroom, she immediately sought it out and squished it.

A simple glance told Luo Ying that this was a listening device. It resembled the one she had discovered in Lu Zhao’s home previously. She motioned for Wang Yu to bring out the other helpers first. The topic Shen Lan wanted to broach was likely not easy to explain.

“What are you up to?!” Du Tian also recognized the device. Her expression shifted and she jumped to her feet.

Once everyone had left, Shen Lan said, “Do not be nervous. I am not here to make trouble this time. I’m here to apologize.”

Shen Lan gave Du Tian a serious look. “The last time, I did not understand the situation and misunderstood you. I made a huge racket and splashed water at you. I’m really sorry.”

She had actually thought of many ways to ask for forgiveness behind closed doors. However, her entire upbringing was always idyllic and simple. She did not cultivate much of a scheming nature, even after tragedy struck her family and threw her out to the streets.

Any scheme she devised to win forgiveness was doomed to fail. She had not lost her self-awareness altogether.

Thus, Shen Lan ultimately chose to be forthright and offer genuine regret for any wrongdoing. From what she knew, Du Tian might be more open to sincere people.

“Apologize? An exceptional apology, indeed.” The tone in which Du Tian spoke was unsettling. She found Shen Lan’s about-face hard to believe.

Shen Lan cracked a grin. She was not surprised by Du Tian’s rejection.

After all, she often questioned her 20-year-old self’s idiocy.

“I understand how difficult it is to forgive someone who has wronged you,” Shen Lan said with a serious expression. That is why I came bearing more than just apologies. All of you should have been aware of the situation thanks to the internet. You’ve seen the rumors surrounding Miss Du. To be honest, I did not have anyone publish it for me.”

Shen Lan’s gaze was fixed on Luo Ying. “That would be Lin Jin and Liu Sheng. In the future, I can tell you more about who Liu Sheng is. However, you may find Lin Jin familiar.”

“Just call me Luo Ying. What makes you think it is actually them?” Her words piqued Luo Ying’s curiosity. Where did Lin Jin pick up such a convoluted strategy?

“She was the one who told me about Miss Du and Zhou Li. She chose such a time to tell me because she wanted to use my feelings for Zhou Li to make me despise Miss Du and sabotage your gathering. She also intended to target your production team with the Shen family’s influence so that you could not continue filming.” Shen Lan laughed self-deprecatingly. “If I was as blind as I was, I might have just done that.”

It was a spectacular move to murder someone using a knife that was not your own.

“Heh.” A sneer formed on Du Tian’s face. “Do we really look like such easy pickings? I know we’re not exactly the biggest production team in town.”

The Du family did not have an heiress so weak that a single boy-toy could ruin her.

When Luo Ying met Shen Lan’s gaze, she saw a great deal of honesty.

Shen Lan was probably telling the truth. Lin Jin’s involvement would explain Shen Lan’s contradictory behavior of slandering her while contacting her to apologize.

But Luo Ying was curious, so she acted very wary.. “What you said makes a lot of sense, but how do I know you did not come up with the story because you heard about the history Lin Jin and I share? How do I know you’re not taking sides? Don’t you think it seems awfully convenient for you to wash your hands off the matter and put all the blame on Lin Jin?”
