The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 15

Rong Dai was not like this just because she couldn't see Huo Shao Ting. She was like this because of the nearly 2 billion yuan debt.

As she slowly walked to the dining table, looking at Huo Shao Jie's handsome and charming face, she couldn't appreciate it at all.

Thinking about how this young uncle was quite easy to get along with in the original owner's memories, she couldn't help asking, "Shao Jie, do you know the fastest way to earn 2 billion yuan?"

Huo Shao Jie was startled. "What do you need so much money for? Are you short on money? I'll transfer you some later."

Rong Dai sighed. Her dark eyes were dim and lifeless: "Then can you transfer 2 billion to me?"

Huo Shao Jie nearly spit out his mouthful of rice!

Sister-in-law, are you borrowing money? This is robbery, isn't it?

"Forget it, you probably don't have it either. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Seeing his reaction, Rong Dai let out a soft sigh. She picked up her chopsticks and ate her breakfast listlessly.

Huo Shao Jie felt insulted, but he calculated in his heart... He had just started a new drama and didn't seem to be able to take out 2 billion at the moment.

"You said you were going to the drama set earlier?" After drinking a few sips of porridge, Rong Dai belatedly remembered what he had said.

"Yeah, Granny went out to play with her old lady friends, Mom also went out, Mei Shu is still in school, preparing to go abroad, and my brother often disappears for 10 days to half a month. Wouldn't you be bored at home alone?" Huo Shao Jie nodded. He rather admired his sister-in-law. Despite being so young, she didn't have any interest in the glitz and glamor of the outside world at all. In this regard, she was very much like his elder brother.

Rong Dai's mind lit up. Who knows, maybe she could find a job at the drama set?

She already had everything she needed right now. Even if she was given a high-end job, she wouldn't know how to do it. It'd be better to start from the basics and learn more. She believed in her own abilities.

"Then I'll have to trouble you. Being home alone is... quite boring." She forced out a smile.

2 billion yuan, it really was worrying!

Huo Shao Jie was startled by her strange smile. He quickly stopped her from smiling anymore.

After breakfast, Rong Dai went upstairs to change into a set of clothes. It was still very hot in Shenjing in July. Most of the clothes in her wardrobe were brightly colored.

She was confident in her looks and figure. Although it would take time for her to get used to dressing like this, she could adapt.

Besides, Huo Shao Ting wouldn't care what she wore anyway. After all, the one he loved was Wen Shi Lan, and she had no relationship with him whatsoever.

"Sister-in-law, wouldn't it be unsafe for you to go out dressed like this? My brother will beat me to death when he comes back." Huo Shao Jie looked at her lake green off-shoulder long dress and white low-heeled shoes. Half of her slender, milk-white calves were exposed, glowing brightly.

Youth, vitality, freshness.

There was an inherent elegance and refinement in her bones. Huo Shao Jie's heart even skipped a beat uncontrollably.

Previously whenever he came back, he would see Rong Dai dressed entirely in black. If it wasn't for her excessively pale face, he would've thought she was a charred human-shaped tree stump struck by lightning.

Rong Dai was very confident in her own abilities. "It'll be fine. Let's go."

Looking at the bright and glorious sunshine, Rong Dai heaved a long sigh of relief. She kept psyching herself up in her heart, and the gloom in her heart had mostly dispersed.

Huo Shao Jie seized the opportunity when she tilted her head back, eyes closed, facing the sky. He snapped a photo and immediately sent it to Huo Shao Ting on WeChat.

He still had to give his brother advance notice about things like this, otherwise he'd be the one to die when his brother came back.

Huo Shao Ting, who was in a meeting, saw his phone light up on the table. He picked it up and saw Rong Dai's youthful and vibrant photo. The sunlight reflected off her milk-white skin, as if she was coated in a layer of light. Two words immediately popped into his mind: elf.

Then, as if possessed, he inexplicably sent back: Bring her back in one piece.

After the message was sent successfully, he realized something was off. Just as he was about to take it back, he received an emoji pack from Huo Shao Jie. His outstretched hand shrank back and he turned his phone off.

Rong Dai followed Huo Shao Jie to the drama set. Many people looked at her doubtfully, but someone soon recognized her identity. Their gazes inevitably became more probing as they looked at her.

"Can I walk around and see everything?"

Rong Dai found it all very novel. Seeing Huo Shao Jie get handed a pile of documents by his assistant as soon as he came in, she looked at him curiously and asked.

Huo Shao Jie glanced around. "Okay, but be careful. This is a temporary set, they're auditioning for roles. Some things aren't stable so don't run around."

"Don't worry." Rong Dai nodded and strode away on her own.

There were many people who came to audition. Despite the blazing sun, not a single person was impatient.

Seeing the huge crowd, Rong Dai chose to avoid them. She strolled around aimlessly until she reached the audition stage.

"They're really going all out."

Seeing the auditioning actors cry and fall down on command, she couldn't help but sigh in amazement. She also found it very interesting.

She was curious to see how people in this day and age understood palace life in ancient times, so she found a chair and sat to one side to watch the auditions. She ended up engrossed in watching, and even verbally evaluated each actor who went on stage.

"Next! What are you all acting?! Not a shred of the aura of an empress! Next!"

The director wasn't so harsh when they were auditioning for supporting roles. But when they finalized the female lead, the director's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and his anger spread throughout the audition stage.

"Director Lu, the last confirmed actress can't make it." The assistant gingerly reported.

The director immediately kicked over the chair next to him in anger. The people at the audition stage cowered in fear, while only Rong Dai still had a relaxed and delighted expression.

"You! Come over here!"

The director's rage was reaching its peak. He turned and just happened to see Rong Dai's "schadenfreude" expression, which further infuriated him. He pointed at her and yelled loudly!

Rong Dai was shocked. She reflexively looked left and right, but everyone else was staff.

"I'm talking to you! What are you looking at?! Hurry up and come audition!" The director was furious. His assistant tried to remind him several times that she wasn't an actress who had come to audition, but never found an opportunity.

Rong Dai blinked. She looked at him clearly and asked, "If I act for you, will I get paid?"

She urgently needed money! Very urgently! She was happy to oblige if she could earn money.

Director Lu was immediately amused with anger. He sneered, "You can talk about it after you pass the audition. Hurry up! I won't say it a third time!"

As soon as Rong Dai heard she could earn money, her eyes lit up. She immediately walked over.

But once she stood on stage, she became a little nervous again. She still wasn't used to being watched by so many people.

However, for her 2 billion yuan, she had to go all out!

She recalled the content performed by the previous actresses in her mind. The gist was the empress' scene after her clan was overthrown and she was condemned by the emperor, marking their split.

This aligned very well with her past experiences splitting from the emperor!

But she had to control it carefully. Too much force would be overkill, while too little would lack the dignity and pride of an empress. She needed some time to reflect back, after all it had been many years since then.
