Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

“Director Qiao,” Emma greeted politely.

“So it’s Kaleidoscope’s infamous CEO, Eric that’s here to see me,” Qiao Sen smiled at Eric as he continued to fish. Obviously, he wasn’t familiar with Emma. “How could Kaleidoscope show interest in an old man like me?”

“We’re not here because of Kaleidoscope. This is my wife,” Eric introduced.

Qiao Sen took a glance at Emma; just one quick glance, “Mr. Roborts, you’re not telling me that your wife is the one that wants me to make a comeback, are you?”

“I’m aware that you have a dream to create a blockbuster sci-fi film; a sci-fi film that everyone will remember.”

“With you?” Qiao Sen looked at Emma with doubt. “You want to invest in my film?”

“I want to participate in the production of it,” Emma replied straightforwardly.

“You’re overestimating yourself…”

“I know that in Director Qiao’s eyes, I’m just a bored person with money. But, I hope you can sit down and watch the films I’ve participated in. If you continue to talk to me with this attitude, I don’t think we will be able to work together either. My husband and I will wait for your response at the hotel.” After speaking, Emma wrote down the films she had acted in and placed them beside Director Qiao’s feet.

“Eric…let’s go.”

Eric was extremely unhappy with the old man’s tone, but he did not react. He simply took Emma straight to the hotel. His wife had already withstood the harsh cold wind for a good few hours, he did not want her to catch a cold.

Meanwhile, the old man did not move.

To be exact, he had no intention of picking up the paper that Emma left behind. But, his daughter ended up picking it up and curiously doing a search online.

The first film she watched was ‘W.H.’ because she enjoyed disaster movies.

Her original intention was to ridicule Emma because she looked like just a pretty face.

But, after watching the first few minutes, she found it impossible to stop watching…

A moment later, the old man entered the living room holding the fish he had caught. Seeing his daughter was watching a film, he couldn’t help but sneak a glance.

“What film is this?”

“It’s a film starring Emma, the woman that handed you a business card this afternoon. The film is called ‘W.H.’. Her acting’s not bad.”

After putting down his fishing rod, the old man sat down on the sofa beside his daughter. Like that, he ended up watching the film for two hours.

“It’s hard to find anyone in China that can act as good as her these days. Don’t you think so, dad?” Qiao Sen’s daughter sighed as she watched her father’s forehead crease up in frustration.

He could feel that Emma’s persistence with acting was on the same level as his persistence with filming.

So he felt a little bad for the way he underestimated her.

“She has other films too. Do you want to watch them?”

“Turn them on!” the old man immediately ordered. Emma had suddenly ignited a spark in his soul.

If there was truly someone that was as persistent as him about filming a blockbuster sci-fi film and was completely committed, then…he had faith that China could produce a great film without any reliance on Hollywood.

Was Emma willing to be this committed person?

If she was, then her name was definitely going down into film history.

Of course, he was confident in his own film.

But, what would happen if it didn’t turn out well? He knew that not only him, but Emma would also end up becoming a laughing stock.

So, he felt that this young woman was quite brave!

“Dad, what do you think about this?” Qiao Sen’s daughter asked. “I feel like Emma is a serious person. If someone else had come looking for you, there’s no way I would have let you even consider working with them. But, since it’s Emma, I’ll let you make the decision on your own.”

Qiao Sen crossed his arms and continued watching the film in front of him.

In just one night, he watched through all of Emma’s films. In the end, he had to admit that, as an actress, Emma moved him.

“Help me contact her.”

“Haiz, I knew you’d change your mind. Lucky I pulled the business card out of the bin and kept it.” As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Sen’s daughter placed the crinkled business card in front of her father.

Qiao Sen hesitated for a long time. In the end, it wasn’t until the next morning that he finally called Emma’s number…

…

Meanwhile, plenty of people attempted to sign with Emma via their contacts. As a result, both Lisa and Lin Qian ended up with a handful of artist’s details. But, Emma had gone to visit the director on a private island. This meant, in the near future, she would be placing all her focus on filming a high quality sci-fi film and woudn’t have time to sign another artist.

During the two days that Emma was gone, apart from checking on Xia Hanmo overseas, Lin Qian practically spent all her time at home resting.

At the same time, Quan Ziye attended events when he had them and stayed at home to keep her company when he didn’t (even though Lin Qian didn’t give him any attention).

Meanwhile, Old Quincey’s 60th birthday was just around the corner. But, Lin Qian hadn’t mentioned a word about it. From the looks of it, it seemed she had no interest in seeing the Quan Family.

On the third morning, Emma finally returned with Director Qian and some good news.

So, Lin Qian went back to Emma’s side, curious to see the old man that was so persistent about filming a blockbuster sci-fi film.

Qiao Sen was obsessed with sci-fi as expected. But, after returning to New York, he and Emma did not need small talk to get along perfectly with each other.

Qiao Sen knew that as soon as a time was set for filming, it would take a few years and be an extremely long process, especially during the post production stage. So, he asked Emma to prepare herself.

In response, Emma took out all her savings and invested it straight into post production. She then asked Qiao Sen to find a production team that he could trust in because she wanted to make sure that the film was worth the money.

Qiao Sen admired Emma’s boldness. Of course, he was also prepared to show off his success.

After everything was settled, Emma had a rest in her office. At this time, Lin Qian knocked on the door and walked in, “You don’t have anything planned for tomorrow night, do you?”

“Why?” Emma asked.

“I need to attend my adoptive father’s 60th birthday celebration,” Lin Qian shrugged. From the tone of her voice, it was obvious that she didn’t want to go.

“You’re talking about Quan Ziye’s father?” Emma raised an eyebrow. She was aware that a lot of unhappy things happened bet**en Lin Qian and Mother Quan. Perhaps it was because Mother Quan knew she was an adopted daughter, so she always expected her to be grateful. As a result, Lin Qian had suffered quite a lot in the past.

“That’s right,” Lin Qian said before she turned and left. However, Emma held her back.

“Wait a minute,” she said before she handed Lin Qian her car keys. “I think you may need this…”

“For a woman, the best way to deal with those that look down upon us, is to show that we have a successful career.”

Lin Qian smiled in agreement, but she did not take Emma’s key, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Lin Qian knew that Emma was afraid that she’d be humiliated.

But, she was no longer the same Lin Qian. She would never let anyone try to sell her off again.

The next day, Quan Ziye was dressed up in formal attire and ready to go when he noticed that Lin Qian had not made a move. So, he pushed open her study room door and asked, “You’re not going yet?”

“You go first, I still have a few things to finish off.”

“You’re not going with me?”

“Why must I go with you?” Lin Qian asked.

Quan Ziye knew that Lin Qian couldn’t treat the problem with his parents like it was nothing, but the fact that she was willing to go to the birthday celebration, was already a huge compromise. So, he slowly closed the door and called his manager to bring his car.

“Qian Qian’s not going?” the manager was curious to see Quan Ziye all on his own.

“Give her a bit of time.”

After speaking, Quan Ziye jumped into the driver’s seat and started up the sports car. However, just before he left, he took one last glance at Lin Qian’s room.

After Quan Ziye left, Lin Qian closed up the documents in her hands and walked calmly over to the wardrobe…

…

The Quan Family were celebrating a big birthday, so they decorated the vintage style villa in a particularly extravagant manner. On the surface, Mother Quan and Old Quincey were holding a banquet, but in reality, their ultimate motive was for Quan Ziye to meet the daughters of some of New York’s most socialite families. Perhaps he’d be interested in one of them and stop placing all his focus on the entertainment industry.

After all, Old Quincey hated the fact that Quan Ziye was in the entertainment industry. He did not believe it was a legitimate career choice.

Old Quincey and Mother Quan were weaving themselves through the room of guests when Quan Ziye arrived, dressed in a black suit.

Quan Ziye was cool, handsome and born with an evily charming aura. So, as soon as he appeared, he naturally drew the attention of the women in the room. This made Mother Quan extremely pleased.

“Ziye, what took you so long? Your aunties and uncles have been waiting anxiously for you…”

“It’s my father’s birthday today. Why would they be waiting for me?” Quan Ziye asked.

“You little rascal. Let me tell you, your Auntie Li’s daughter just returned from studying abroad and it’s her first time visiting our home. She’s not familiar with the place, so you should show her around…”

Hearing this, Quan Ziye immediately scoffed and looked at his mother in ridicule, “Mom, where’s Qian Qian?”

Mother Quan’s exp**ssion suddenly turned sour, “Why are you suddenly mentioning her?”

“She’s my sister, why can’t I ask about her?”

“She’s just an outsider!” Mother Quan looked away, “Quick, go and keep Auntie Li’s daughter company.”

Quan Ziye did not reject Mother Quan’s request as he walked over to Miss Li. The young woman was pretty with a good body, but Quan Ziye did not give her a second look.

“Ziye, am I making things difficult for you?” The woman was interested in Quan Ziye. After all, to be able to tame a ‘bad boy’ like him was an extremely prideful thing.

Quan Ziye was disgusted by the woman’s obvious question, so he directly replied, “Yes, it’s very difficult.”

“Hey…I heard you also have a sister. How come I don’t see her?”

With the mention of Lin Qian, Quan Ziye’s gaze slightly changed.

“That’s none of your business,” Quan Ziye replied before he hid to the side.

Seeing the confused look on Miss Li’s face, a few people approached to clarify things for her, “The Quan Family only has one son. Lin Qian is adopted, so she’s not blood-related. I heard that Lin Qian is an ungrateful wench, so no one in the Quan Family likes her. At the moment, she’s working in the entertainment industry.”

“What about Quan Ziye? What does he think about his sister?” Miss Li asked.

“I don’t think he likes her either. After all, who would like someone that appeared out of nowhere to steal half the affection from their parents.”

After hearing this, Miss Li breathed a sigh of relief as her attraction for Quan Ziye grew.

The celebration was about to officially start, but Lin Qian was still nowhere to be seen, so Mother Quan thought Lin Qian wasn’t coming. But, just as she revealed a ridiculing smile, a white sports car pulled up at the front of the villa. Out of the car stepped Lin Qian dressed in a long diamond encrusted silver gown, looking extremely feminine.

“Isn’t that the child that the Quan Family adopted?”

“Is that Lin Qian? She’s so beautiful.”

“We don’t see this child often. I never expected that she’d be so imp**ssive.”

Everyone began to talk about Lin Qian. In fact, a few words made their way into Lin Qian’s ears.

But, Lin Qian was not intimidated as she walked elegantly towards Old Quincey and Mother Quan in her white high-heeled shoes and gave them a hug, “Mom! Dad!”

Old Quincey was indifferent as he briefly acknowledged that it was good that she was back. Meanwhile, Mother Quan’s gaze was spiteful and cold.

Lin Qian looked at the two elders. Just as she was about to hand them her present, Quan Ziye suddenly pulled her into his arms and gently hugged her, “Qian Qian…”

Lin Qian angrily stepped on his foot. This man was doing this on purpose, even though they were obviously living under the same roof.

Everyone saw the way that Quan Ziye hugged Lin Qian. Although it was just a gentle hug, it still surprised them.

He did not go near any of the young socialite women in the room, yet he treated Lin Qian with such affection and love. It seemed, this brother did not dislike Lin Qian the way that everyone rumored.

Mother Quan was extremely displeased by Quan Ziye’s actions, but she couldn’t complain in front of everyone. So, she quietly reminded Quan Ziye, “Ziye, help me entertain the guests.”

Lin Qian pinched Quan Ziye and Quan Ziye laughed.

Soon, it was time to open the gifts. Each family presented Old Quincey with their expensive offerings. Miss Li, in particular, gifted him a thousand-year-old antique because she knew that he liked to collect them.

“This is worth tens of millions!”

“It looks like Miss Li is trying to win the favor of her future father-in-law.”

“This is worth too much…”

After receiving everyone’s admiration, Miss Li’s l*ps slightly curved upwards. As a response, Mother Quan did not stop praising the young woman.

“Xiao Ai, you are too kind…I’ll get Ziye to share a dance with you later.”

Miss Li turned and looked at Lin Qian. For some reason, even though there were so many female guests in the room, she felt hostile towards Lin Qian. Was it simply because she was Quan Ziye’s sister?

“Qian Qian, what did you prepare for your father?” an elder asked. “It wasn’t easy for your parents to bring you up. You need to be filial.”

Lin Qian smiled, pulled a box out of her handbag and handed it to Old Quincey.

“I don’t have anything expensive, so I can only give you this old item,” Lin Qian explained with a smile.

Everyone thought Lin Qian was indeed nothing compared to Miss Li. There was no wonder that the Quan Family smiled so happily at their ‘future daughter-in-law’ and was indifferent towards Lin Qian.

Old Quincey received the box. But, as soon as he opened it, he froze for a few seconds before his eyes became teary, “Qian Qian, where did you find this?”

“I heard you mention it when I was young, so I’ve been looking for it over the years.”

It turned out, the gift that she had given Old Quincey was something that once belonged to Qian Ziye’s grandfather. Back in the days, he had sold this broken watch to launch his business.

This was extremely sentimental for Old Quincey…

Obviously, Old Quincey was more pleased with this broken watch than the antique received from Miss Li as he held the watch in his hands and caressed it over and over again.

Mother Quan glared at Lin Qian, angry that she had snatched away Li Ai’s limelight.

But, Lin Qian pretended that she didn’t see a thing as she completely ignored Mother Quan’s glare.

“That’s why they say a daughter is a father’s heart warmer. I guess they’re right.”

“Just because she heard about it when she was young, she remembered it until now. She sure is filial…”

Everyone’s image of Lin Qian began to change.

“Qian Qian, I heard you work as a manager in the entertainment industry. Aren’t entertainers difficult to get along with?” someone deliberately provoked. They wanted to embarrass Lin Qian and make it sound like she was hanging around with a bunch of clowns.

But, Lin Qian smiled elegantly and replied, “I think the one that is difficult to get along with is you. At least, they’ve never tried to make things difficult for me.”

As soon as she heard these words, the woman was dumbfounded.

“I’m sorry, I need to go to the bathroom. Please continue without me.” Lin Qian knew that everyone would start attacking her soon if she didn’t leave, so she quickly made her way out of there. However, just as she reached the first floor bathroom, a black figure suddenly p**ssed against her, pushed her inside and locked the door.

“Are you crazy?” Lin Qian glared at the sight of Quan Ziye.

Quan Ziye gripped onto Lin Qian’s wrist and with one swift move, k**sed down on her l*ps, “I’m sure you must have expected me to do this.”

Lin Qian took a bite of Quan Ziye’s l*ps and sighed, “Do you want the whole world to know that we are doing something immoral?”

“All I care about is my happiness. I don’t need to care about what other’s think.”

“But I care. Don’t force me into a dead end,” Lin Qian said in seriousness.

After hearing this, Quan Ziye pulled Lin Qian into his embrace, “Just let me hug you for a little while. I guarantee that I’ll behave…”

At this moment, Lin Qian’s heart weakened and she stopped resisting. After a little while, Quan Ziye let go of her as promised, “Let’s continue at home tonight.”

After he was done, he opened the door and ran out.

Lin Qian turned to the mirror and began to touch-up her makeup. But, a little while later, Li Ai suddenly stepped into the bathroom and asked, “A moment ago, were you and Quan Ziye in the bathroom together?”

“Miss Li, I think you’re overthinking things,” Lin Qian replied in an extremely calm manner.

“But, I saw it with my own eyes…”

“You were seeing things…”

But, Li Ai was certain that she wasn’t seeing things. She even saw Quan Ziye wipe the l*pstick off his mouth as he walked out.

What was going on with these siblings?

Her mind was a blur. Li Ai thought of countless possibilities, but the one that she believed the most, was that Lin Qian seduced Quan Ziye. After all, they weren’t blood-related.

Thinking of this, Li Ai felt that Lin Qian was completely disgusting.

So, she decided to tell Mother Quan about this. How would Mother Quan react if she was to find out?

After returning to the celebration, Li Ai approached Quan Ziye and asked, “Ziye…I…I think I just saw you in the bathroom with Lin Qian. Was I seeing things?”

“No, you weren’t seeing things,” Quan Ziye admitted without hesitation.

“What?” Li Ai looked at Quan Ziye in shock, her eyes so wide that her pupils almost popped out of their sockets.
