The actresses and actors who heard what Ran Yue said showed displeasure in their faces. They knew even before that Ran Xueyi, a veteran actress, was the older sister of the new actress, Ran Yue, who first became a member of a pop idol group before entering the acting industry.
When Ran Yue entered the industry, many of Ran Xueyi's fans bashed her because they thought that Ran Yue stole her older sister's limelight and role in that movie. However, Ran Xueyi soon explained that it wasn't the case and the reason why she pulled back from the movie was because she wanted to take a break and was planning to get married.
At that time, Ran Yue's journey in the industry wasn't as good as in the present. Living in the shadows of her extremely famous and talented older sister, many people from the acting industry felt pity towards her. After all, it was really difficult to make your own brand and image in the industry when your older sister's name would be mentioned every time you achieved something through your own effort.
The waiting room was silent. They wanted to see how Ran Xueyi responded to Ran Yue's words. If Ran Xueyi denied that she was ignoring Ran Yue, people would accuse her of being a liar. And if she admitted to it, she would be painted as a bad sister.
Furthermore, Ran Yue's words will become a confirmation that Ran Xueyi was being arrogant, and was thinking that she was much better than everyone inside the waiting room, and that anyone wasn't worthy of her attention only because she was an important and famous figure in the acting industry five years ago.
Ran Xueyi's face was blank and showed an indifferent expression. Ran Yue, this little sister of hers, really overdid herself. Setting a few traps for her older sister... What a great little sister!
However, instead of being afraid and intimidated by the atmosphere that was slowly and gradually dropping, Ran Xueyi slowly raised her head to meet Ran Yue's gaze and then, showed her the conventional 35-degree smile.
"Ran Yue, before I answer your questions... Let me ask you one question," Ran Xueyi said.
Ran Yue smiled mockingly and replied, "Older sister, are you doing this because you can't answer my questions?"
Ran Yue frowned. But she soon smiled confidently, her confidence was due to the fact that she knew that Ran Xueyi won't be able to escape from her traps so easily because either way was a road to a path of no return.
"No, you can ask me anything," Ran Yue smiled brightfully as if she was not pitting her older sister to a dangerous ending. Her face looked exactly like an adorable little kid; pampered, kind, and innocent.
Ran Xueyi returned the smile beautifully, almost dazzling the entire room. "Then, let me ask you... When did you debut as an actress?"
Was that even a question? Ran Yue almost wanted to roll her eyes. But for the sake of her plan, she answered honestly, "5 years ago..." she paused then added, "Did you already forget sister? I debuted soon after you announced your break."
Of course, Ran Yue thought carefully about her words... She only added the last line to touch the heart of the staff members and artists inside the room. With her words, they would be reminded that she lived in her sister's shadows.
But Ran Xueyi was calm the whole time and even gave a smile.
Creeped out by that fake smile, Ran Yue couldn't help but ask, "What are you smiling about?"
"I'm smiling because my dear sister forgot about something," Ran Xueyi replied while standing up. She clapped her hands together once before she continued, "You're asking why I'm ignoring you when you asked for help for your scene?"
Ran Yue stepped back.
Ran Xueyi narrowed her eyes as she continued to smile. "Ran Yue... have you forgotten that we're inside the waiting room for an audition? Everyone here is one's rival, isn't it?" She turned her attention to the other people inside the room. Some of them nodded while some remained silent; too idle watching the show. "It's only natural that I would ignore your request for help. After all... sisters or not, we both want the same role and are considered rivals."
Ran Yue was stomped for words. She couldn't deny what Ran Xueyi said. Since when did the world of acting become so peaceful and friendly that rivals who auditioned for the same role would suddenly brainstorm and help out one another? Wouldn't that be too stupid and an unbelievable thing to happen?
Ran Yue really wanted to go back in time and stop herself from asking that question.
However, there was no need to cry over a spilt milk. She could only blame herself for provoking Ran Xueyi.
And Ran Xueyi won't let go of this opportunity. Once she takes a bite, there was no way she would let go of the prey she wanted to eat. Ran Yue only has herself to blame for not taking heed to her warning.
"As for stealing anyone's spotlight... I think we both know what really happened back then," Ran Xueyi came too close to Ran Yue and whispered, "Do you want me to tell everyone in this room the truth? Or should I call the press and tell them on live what you guys have done to me and planned for me all these years?"
Ran Yue stared at her, bewildered and in disbelief. She never expected that Ran Xueyi would even mention this while there are still some people around them who could hear everything!
Seeing the fear and anxiousness in her eyes, Ran Xueyi giggled and clapped again. "Why are you so scared? I didn't even start anything yet, dear sister."

Author has something to say: Should I write a novel about a Serial Killer who kills bad guys/murderer/serial killer and a female detective? >.<
Ps. Ran Yue should get ready and buy her own coffin.
