Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

200-204

“Something has happened between England and the ancient martial art world. It wouldn’t be good for us to stay here.” Fu Wei explained. “You can still remain here and continue your studies in Stanford though.”

Fu Xuejun was flustered for a moment, before saying determinedly, “No, I’ll go back too.”

“I knew you would say that from the beginning,” Fu Wei said, after getting the confirmation from her. “I’ve already spoken to my assistant, and have sent your details to A University. They are eagerly awaiting your arrival.”

As a top student from Stanford University, how could they not?

“By the way, in the film festival this year, I saw a very soulful actress with your mommy.” Fu Wei suddenly recalled. “Although she was just the third lead, she was miles better than the female lead. Especially that pair of eyes, it’s very similar to your mommy’s. If we have the chance after we go back, we definitely must arrange a meeting with her.”

Facing an actress that looked very much like Baili Wenxi, Fu Wei couldn’t help but be amazed and also admire this actress.

Fu Xuejun smiled at that, and headed upstairs to sleep. The smile slid off her face as soon as she turned away.

Downstairs, Fu Wei was still discussing with Baili Wenxi about the actress that had caught their eye.

In tonight’s film festival, the most outstanding part of the entire festival was not any of the celebrities, but the newcomer that had never produced a film, and the newbie actress that played a female third lead.

“I feel an inexplicable kindness every time I look at her.” Baili Wenxin said, her gaze far away.

Fu Wei’s heart moved a little at his wife’s look. “It feels like the two of you have a tied fate, how about we take her in as a goddaughter after we return?”

The more he thought about it, the more the idea seemed feasible. With such great acting skills and only playing a third lead, especially that jumping scene on the city wall, Fu Wei had honestly felt his heart stop when he watched that scene. “And then we’ll look for some good resources for her. With such a talent, she must be some kind of best actress.”

It had been about a decade since they had gone back, and Fu Wei was slightly looking forward to it. Not only because of the actress, but the company ‘Nine Heavens’ that had been taking the world by a storm was also in China.

As a fellow businessman, he was extremely curious about the person behind the scenes of Nine Heavens.

What kind of people were they, that they were able to strategize and develop Nine Heavens into what it was today?

Baili Wenxi didn’t say anything further, she just turned on her phone and flipped to China’s Weibo, searching for ‘Empire Under Siege’.

Then she followed the trail all the way until she found the name ‘For A Millenium’.

After hanging up the call with Fu Xuejun, Baili Bin didn’t try to call again, but gave Baili Qu a call instead.

“Grandfather, there’s something I want to show you.” His voice was a little dry when he spoke.

Baili Qu replied from the other end of the phone, and then continued with, “Just send it over. Oh right, I’m sending someone over to pass you some things, bring it over to… Miss Gu tomorrow.” He knew about Gu Xiqiao from Zhu Yuan, and heard from him that the girl preferred antiques over money, and so he had turned the entire Baili family upside down, and finally choosing a few antiques to send over.
