Chapter 464: No Longer Paying Attention
Stephanie was just a girl with little experience. She had not been through great storms, nor had she had a jianghu-like life like Yu Linna. The things she knew were too few. In Yu Linna’s eyes, she was not steady enough. Even if her appearance looked older than Yu Linna’s, in terms of steadiness, she was definitely not as good as Yu Linna.
“How was your talk with your parents?”
Stephanie did not answer at first, just turned over. Her eyes were a little lost.
“My father, he said he would respect my thoughts. But this is not an easy thing. If I insist on it, I will have to solve all my university expenses myself. If I can’t be independent, he will not agree to me going to America.”
“Isn’t this very good? Since you can run away from home, why can’t you be independent?”
To Yu Linna, this result was clearly the most suitable. Her parents could also agree to her going to America, and Stephanie could also pursue her own dream.
This was the best way.
“But the premise is that I have to be the lead in a work once within a year. Otherwise, I won’t even have a chance.”
“That is indeed quite difficult.”
To have a newcomer who couldn’t be newer be the lead in any work was also asking for too much. Even an old and experienced actor who had been in the entertainment industry for many years could not easily be the lead.
The challenge was quite great.
“This is an opportunity.”
“I know. I will do it. Linna, thank you for the things you said for me.”
“You’re welcome.”
…
Yu Linna went downstairs to see Stephanie’s parents. Her parents were in the first floor, talking about something. Looking at them, they should have come to some result.
“Hey, child, you’ve come down. How’s Fanny?”
“She’s fine. She’s just a little lost. I believe she will figure it out.”
“Child, thank you for speaking up for us before. My daughter has been staying with you these few days. Thank you for being willing to take her in. This child is good at everything, just that her temper is a little stubborn. She likes to throw a tantrum when she is a little unhappy.”
“It’s nothing.”
Ah ah, so good. This is probably what real parents are like, Yu Linna thought.
To be able to think for their child like this, they were indeed good parents. The child was clearly so willful, yet they could still worry for her. Real family is probably like this.
“Child, I hear you’re from China?”
“Yes.”
“You really don’t look any different from an English person. I wouldn’t have known you were Chinese if you hadn’t said so. You’re very beautiful, like a star.”
“Thank you.”
She had heard these remarks from others many times before. She didn’t have much of a feeling and just treated it as a casual chat.
They chatted for a few more sentences. Yu Linna said she was going out to buy something and said her goodbyes first. Bell and Patricia, the couple, looked at that petite back and chatted about this child again.
“She’s a good child. We have to thank her properly. It was she who took Fanny in.”
“Yes. She is indeed not bad. When I look at her, I always feel that she is very much like an old friend of mine.”
“Who?”
“Catherine. The friend in America. But I haven’t seen her in many years. I’m thinking of going to America for a trip now. If our daughter really decides to go to America, I want to go for a trip.”
“Then I’ll go too.”
Yu Linna’s back disappeared into the sea of people…
…
Her promotion in England was not very smooth. Although she had worked very hard, she was still short of some luck. Not a single one of her works was sold. She also knew that this was caused by cultural differences. For a good work to be a bestseller all over the world, how could it be so easy?
It was about time she went back. She had stayed in England for a long time, a week. It was about time she went back.
She told Stephanie that she planned to return to her home country in a short while. Stephanie had a look of disbelief, and then a look of reluctance. Although they had known each other for a short time, after these few days of getting along, Stephanie had also come to like this child. She still wanted to spend a little more time with her.
“Linna, can’t you just not go back? You’ve been taking me in all these days. Why don’t you try to let me take you in?”
“No. I should go back. I don’t have any other acquaintances here in Edinburgh. I’m also here for work. I want to go back.”
Stephanie could not keep her.
Originally, her stay here was only temporary. It was impossible for her to stay here forever. This point, Stephanie had known clearly since she had met her.
“Is it because of your parents? Are you homesick?”
“…No.”
Yu Linna said with a wry smile.
Home? She didn’t seem to have one either.
Originally, she had a family-like existence, but now they were in a conflict. She didn’t know when they could make up.
But it was a foregone conclusion that she was leaving.
Whether Stephanie could work hard to realize her own dream and be a star in Hollywood, that would depend on herself. If she really had this strength and this luck, perhaps she would succeed. But Yu Linna also didn’t know. She couldn’t predict the future.
After hearing that she was leaving, Maria was sad for a moment, but still said that she would see her off at the airport and told her that she must come back to Edinburgh next time. And that was not all. After learning the news of her leaving England, Director Heston had found Yu Linna and had explained his purpose to her.
“You want the English translation of Demon Child? Sorry, are you serious, Mr. Heston?”
“Yes. I suddenly feel that this novel’s setting is a bit interesting, very much like Superman. You like superheroes very much, right?”
“Yes.”
“I want to see the English version of your novel. Can you help me translate it? My friend is too busy and can only tell me a small part every day. I want to see the full version.”
“Alright, that’s not difficult. I can finish translating it for you today. In one night.”
“Thank you. You are truly an angel sent by God.”
Director Heston was very happy. He could finally see the English version of the novel. Before, he could only listen to his friend tell a small part of the story, only a little every day. It was too hard to bear. Although this story was biased towards being depressing, and its style was also dark, and it was also very similar to the American superheroes, at a glance, it was written by a die-hard fan. Heston liked it very much.
That night, Yu Linna had indeed finished translating the entire novel. With her hand speed, this was not difficult. She had always been known as a tentacle monster in the industry, not only because her update speed was fast, but also because she could open multiple projects. For others, it was simply impossible.
And she had heard that someone liked her and read her novels. She was quite happy. Out of this thought, she had translated the novel without any complaints. Anyway, no matter what version it was, it was her own work.
…
While Yu Linna was preparing to return to her home country, Ye Zhiyun, who was in her home country, was also boredly scrolling through Weibo, wanting to see some news about Yu Linna. But she didn’t see any related information. Although she wanted to go and ask Wenqing, thinking of her stiff relationship with the other party, she still gave up.
In the days without Yu Linna, although she was not used to it at first, she slowly got used to it. She would occasionally take out that pair of rings, the couple’s rings that had not been given out. She was always thinking if there was a chance to give them to her.
But what was gratifying was that every two days, she would receive flowers. These flowers would be delivered to the company, and every time, they were different flowers. The owner of the flowers had also sent the flowers to her with deep love. Ye Zhiyun knew the other party’s thoughts, but she did not refuse to accept them. She also just simply treated the other party as a fan.
“Zhiyun, actually, you should be a little calmer and give the gift properly.”
When Dai Wenqian walked past her desk, she had said this. Ye Zhiyun looked up, a look of confusion on her face, as if to say, “How did you know?”
“Please, how long have we known each other? Don’t I know you? Zhiyun, are you sometimes too strong in your self-esteem? It’s okay not to be so stubborn. That girl, Linna, is very fragile. You may not be, but she only has you now.”
Ever since she had started a business with Ye Zhiyun and had experienced all sorts of things, Dai Wenqian had also slowly become more steady. The Dai Wenqian of the past, who liked to cause trouble and loved a lively atmosphere, would eventually become a mature and steady strong person.
And Ye Zhiyun, the pride in her bones was hard to get rid of.
Ye Zhiyun looked at this pair of rings and thought for a long time. She still wanted to see Linna and talk to her again. She opened her phone, edited a few messages, and then deleted them again. Her finger was on the screen, but in the end, she couldn’t send the message. Yu Linna’s avatar was always flashing, but she could never deliver the message.
She had loved Yu Linna, and she also admitted that she still liked Yu Linna now. But as for whether she could be with her for a long time, this was another question worth thinking about.
Suddenly, a hand patted her on the shoulder. Ye Zhiyun looked up, and Zhu Yiqian was looking at her with a grin.
“What are you still worrying about? If you can’t give the gift, then just put it aside for now. Are you free tonight? Let’s have a Western meal together.”
Zhu Yiqian gently pushed the box with the rings in Ye Zhiyun’s hand onto the table, lifted her chin, as if she wanted to do something more. At this time, Han Ying walked over, a look of displeasure on her face.
“Sister Zhu, someone is looking for you, outside.”
“Who? So annoying.”
“It’s the investor. They said they want to see you and talk about cooperation.”
“What a time to choose.”
Although Zhu Yiqian was unhappy, she wouldn’t go against an investor. She could only go and see the other party.
Han Ying walked over and sat down next to Ye Zhiyun, giving her a cup of coffee.
“That woman, you’d better not get too close to her. She’s a real lesbian, not like you and Linna. If she really wants to, she could put you in her pocket at any time. She’s too dangerous.”
“I know. We just don’t want to go against money. Although she’s very annoying, her value is indeed very high. We need her.”
“Alright then. Compared to that, have you contacted Linna yet?”
Ye Zhiyun shook her head, picked up her phone, and with a ruthless heart, sent a few messages, asking if she could come back for a meeting.
◇ Leaf: When are you coming back? Can we meet?
She sent this message. This was also the first time she had sent her a message since they had argued for so long. She hoped that Yu Linna would pay attention to her.
A few minutes later, Yu Linna replied to her. She immediately picked up her phone to check the message.
◇ NA Nana: I’m going to Japan next. Let’s talk when I get back.
Ye Zhiyun’s heart instantly turned cold. She leaned against the chair, suddenly feeling a little tired.
