A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1406: Chapter 1406: Replacement

Mu Yan felt a bit dazed after hearing Song Cheng’an’s words and asked, "Brother Song, what’s going on? Wasn’t there supposed to be an audition today? How come the actor has already been decided?"

"I just found out myself," Song Cheng’an said. "I’ll need to check with the producer for the details. Wait for my update and don’t get upset."

She wasn’t exactly angry, but Mu Yan definitely wasn’t happy. After all, she had prepared for several days and didn’t even get a chance.

The key point is that the script was sent to her by the production company, yet in the end, they stood her up directly. Do they look down on her?

In the villa, after hanging up the phone, Song Cheng’an made a call to Jiang Jingheng.

"I followed your instructions and helped Mu Yan reject that movie, but she seemed really unhappy—no, anyone would be unhappy. Why did you do this?"

"Okay, you have your reasons, but let me warn you in advance: in this world, no secret stays hidden forever. Once Mu Yan finds out, let’s see how you deal with it."

"I really don’t know what you’re thinking. Do you know how popular Mu Yan is right now? Believe it or not, even if she sneezes, it becomes a trending topic. During a time like this, you’re making her retreat—don’t you think it’s a waste?"

Unable to reason with that person, he angrily hung up and looked at the scripts on the table, feeling a headache. These were carefully selected major productions, now going to benefit others.

Even though the production company reneged on their agreement, making Mu Yan very angry, it wasn’t unexpected, since she’d previously been directly replaced for roles.

But when every endorsement and show started to be canceled, she sensed something was wrong. This felt like she was being boycotted.

But who would dare to boycott her? After all, the fact that she’s Jiang Jingheng’s wife and the Zhuang Family’s eldest daughter is widely known.

She inquired with Song Cheng’an, and his answers were vague, making her aware that he was hiding something from her.

She directly said, "Brother Song, you’re not treating me like a child, making up some random excuse to fool me, are you? What’s really happening? Problems everywhere with the production company and show group—it feels like I’m cursed or something."

"Then just take it as you’re cursed, Mu Yan. Relax. You’re not at the start of your career anymore. Acting isn’t everything in your life."

Mu Yan furrowed her brow. She didn’t think acting was her entire life—at most, it was an interest. But she enjoyed putting her utmost effort into something, preventing any regrets.

Seeing Song Cheng’an unwilling to speak further, Mu Yan didn’t pursue it.

Truth can’t be covered up for long; she believed she would eventually discover the reason.

However, lately, there was an overwhelming feeling of tiredness and fatigue each day.

She was still quite concerned about her health. Missing out on acting opportunities was unfortunate, but not enough to cause too much distress.

A few days later, the role she missed in the movie audition was assigned to a newcomer, named Song Yan, reportedly twenty years old, with a pure look, even somewhat resembling her.

With her agency’s promotion, she debuted under the title "Little Mu Yan," attracting numerous fans.

Mu Yan was used to such hype in the entertainment industry, but didn’t appreciate others using her name to grab attention.

With fame comes controversy; a newcomer debuting in a major production naturally sparks jealousy. Rumors suggested this "Little Mu Yan" had a benefactor—a wealthy, married man from Upper City. Photos allegedly showed the two entering and leaving an apartment late at night, and this benefactor was suspected to be Mu Yan’s husband—Jiang Jingheng.
