A Perfect Match (65)

Liang Yin had never thought that Tang Yu was such a heartless man. Just as she was deep in her thoughts, Hua Jin returned.2

She stood up nervously. "What about the girl? Has she gone home?"

The actor shook his head. 'I didn't see her when I went to the lift lobby. I went to the front desk and the manager said nothing about having seen her.'

"Could she have left?"

"How is that possible?" The actor said, "The manager had been standing by the main entrance of the hotel and he claimed that he had not seen the girl at all. I went to the back door and the security guard there said he hadn't seen her either."

"That's strange." Liang Yin said suspiciously, "Don't tell me she has gone into Tang Yu's room!"

The actor nodded. "It's possible! Tang Yu isn't stupid. He knows that if this gets out of hand, it's going to be bad for him. He won't let the matter blow up. His career is on the rise. It hasn't been easy for him to get his foot in, so he's not going to allow negative talk about him to go around at this point. If anything goes wrong, the investors will want to kill him."

"Investors?"

"Don't you know? All the popular artistes these days have investors behind them."

Liang Yin shook her head blankly.

"Anyway, you don't have to concern yourself with all these things. Memorize your lines and try to get through them tomorrow."

Liang Yin muttered, "I already know my lines."

"I don't think you're familiar enough with them."

The girl did not say much, but obediently picked up the script and memorized it seriously. She tried to put what had happened to the back of her mind and immersed herself in the script. It wasn't until very late into the night that she finally closed the script and went to bed.

She had promised Hua Jin that she'd get through this scene no matter what. She was familiar enough with the lines to know them by heart.

She only needed to overcome her nervousness and everything would be fine once she crossed this hurdle.

She was already freshened and ready when he entered the room.

Liang Yin arrived at the set and got ready for the shoot.

As she was trying to get into her character, she vaguely overheard some people talking.

"Did you hear? Last night, someone jumped to her death from the roof of a hotel."

"Are you serious?"

"It's true. I heard that she jumped off the roof edge and landed on it. I was told that she didn't die instantly. She crawled to the door from where she fell, but it was locked from the inside. The girl was sitting there, bleeding. She wasn't found until early morning."

"Isn't that too tragic? Why did she take it so hard?"

"I only heard about it. Early in the morning, when I was about to come to the set, I saw an ambulance rush over and carry the body out through the side door. Apparently, the hotel didn't allow them to use the main entrance. It was considered bad luck."

…

The muttering in the background continued.

Liang turned to look at them, but they immediately fell silent and lowered their heads, not daring to discuss anything else. They went back to what they were doing.

The actor had just returned to the rest area when Liang Yin pulled him aside nervously.

'Did you hear about what happened this morning?'

"What happened?"

"A girl jumped off the building."

Liang Yin was worried and expressed her suspicion, "Could it be the girl from yesterday?"

The actor was slightly amused.

"Why are you so concerned about her?"

"After all, she was fine when we saw her yesterday. I can't help but feel wistful hearing about this now."

"You need to concentrate on what you're doing. This scene is important today. Leave the rest to me."
