Chapter 99 A Haunted Studio
Song Yan wasn't unfamiliar with the studio where the shooting of the new drama was taking place, if she wasn't wrong that although this studio was highly popular among the directors because of its impeccable and detailed organisation with wide space enough for them to store all their equipment, in the coming years it will be burned down until nothing would be left behind and the causalities wouldn't be any less either. As for when, she has no recollection of it, after so many years of wandering it was normal for her memory to be muddled.
Many believed that it was nothing but a freak accident, but as Song Yan slipped out of the taxi that she was riding and handed the fair to the driver, she felt a cold shiver danced down her spine and when she turned around for only a second she could see the faint shadows hiding in the dark corners. As she approached the studio unlike others who smelled faint perfumes, the scent of makeup and the crisp scent of the new equipment, Song Yan smelled an old musty smell like that of a rotting house.
The laughter and loud boisterous sounds filled the entire studio and Song Yan sighed, of course, this was going to upset the unseen indeed. She sighed, this place —— it didn't seem like a place where the mortals were welcomed. In fact, the entire air of this studio was filled with dread, cold and mysterious air, nothing about it looked welcoming to her. Now that she knew that something lurked in these walls of the studio, she couldn't help but feel that the laughing and loud ruckus sounded a bit bleak.
" Oh, you are here?"A voice called from behind and when she turned around, Wang Yufan who was meticulously dressed in his costume already walked over.
His tone was nowhere as disrespectful as it was when the two of them met for the first time in fact it could be said he was now speaking to her in a lot more respectful manner like a disciple would speak to his master. And why wouldn't he? The last time if not for Song Yan he would have fallen into a cunning trap set by a covetous man.
Before marrying his mother, his father used to have a girlfriend, their story was no different from The Prince and Cinderella. But this story was doomed to fail because the woman his father was having an affair with was no princess, she was an evil witch trapped in the body of a young woman and the antics that she pulled behind his father's back to become the madam of the Wang family were nothing short on being crazy. Fortunately, his grandfather never agreed and forced his father to marry his mother——
But who would have known that the woman was like a leech, clinging on to his father and not letting go. His mother's health was never great, to begin with, and after marrying his father, she didn't conceive a child for a very long time, it was then —— Bai Xin miraculously appeared at the door of the Wang family carrying a baby in her arms claiming that he was his father's son.
Of course, her claims threw his family into a huge whirlpool of mess, the Wang family wanted to refuse but then after many tests and examinations, it was found that Wang Ran was indeed his father's illegitimate son. His grandfather refused at once saying that he would rather hand over the Wang cooperations to dogs on street than hand it to an illegitimate child of a witch.
Fortunately, his mother got pregnant and the matter was settled down.
His father took Bai Xin and Wang Ran under his care since they were his responsibility while he became the heir of the Wang family. Though his family was an unhappy mess, they were still able to manage a superficial peace on the surface since Wang Yufan and Bai Xin knew how to act and kept their heads lowered.
If not for this matter happening and him surviving to carefully investigate it thoroughly in private, he would have never been able to find any evidence against his half brother and would have died while he was still in the dark.
And everything that he was able to do now was thanks to Song Yan, it goes without saying that he was very grateful to her. Thus, when she turned around to look at him, Wang Yufan showed her a big, bright smile. " Ah, sister in… Sister Yan, it's good to see you after so long."
He quickly walked over to her with a toothy smile and eagerly welcomed her, " Sister Yan, I am sorry for calling you all of a sudden but today the owner of the studio is going to come for a visit, I didn't want you to miss this opportunity to get acquainted with her, that's why I called you at such a short notice."
" It's alright," Song Yan nodded her head in greeting as she raised her sharp eyes and briefly glanced at Wang Yufan. Though the dark fumes of death that were covering him were already gone, there was a wine red string mingled with a thin black cadaverous mist around his pinky finger.
Her brows wrinkled as she couldn't help but be annoyed by that half brother of Wang Yufan. It was reasonable to say that Wang Yufan should have found out by now that his half brother was behind the accident, but seems like Wang Yufan didn't let anyone in his family know about it yet. Or else his half brother wouldn't be up to stirring up trouble again when it hasn't been a week yet after what happened.
She pursed her lips, luckily she sucked enough Yang energy from Fu Yu Sheng this morning or else, she would have to suffer again. " You should tell your mother to avoid going out for the time being and maybe it's better to let the cat slip out of the bag before she turns around and scratches you in return."
All of a sudden the smile fell off Wang Yufan's face as his expression turned serious.
