Rebirth of the Villainess: Young Master Lu’s Wicked Wife

Chapter 255 - Too Late For Regrets (2)



However, things immediately spiraled downhill as Tang Liyan's husband cheated on her, and she couldn't ask for divorce as she had nothing left to her name now.

Before her marriage, Tang Liyan was one of the most bankable actresses of her generation. Ever since her debut, everything went smoothly for her, and she became a big hit in a few short years. She was even repeatedly compared to Bai Qingyue, as their prominent looks and their age were close to each other.

Not long ago, before the biggest project she received in her long career, promising to push her to the pinnacle of success, surpassing Bai Qingyue in terms of popularity, Tang Liyan fell in love with a businessman and tied the knot with him in less than three months after meeting him.

Tang Liyan had made the same mistakes many actresses did in this industry. They all had a promising future, but because of a moment, blinded by love, they were willing to throw everything away for that happiness they had in their minds.

There were many actresses that plummeted down, the moment their heart overcame their logical mind, only to lose their good fortune. If they were happy living away from the limelight, it would have been fine. However, most of them couldn't stay happy for too long and could only regret their decision in the end.

"Don't you think you have wasted enough time trying to patch up your failing marriage, Miss Tang? Don't you think that you and your daughter deserve better than how your abusive husband and in-laws are treating you now?"

In her past life, Tang Liyan's end was a tragic one. In a fit of rage, she confronted her husband, which led to a nasty fight. Months from now, Tang Liyan's patience towards her husband would snap, and it would lead to her sudden death after falling from the balcony of their home, leaving her young daughter with a deep trauma as the child had witnessed her terrifying death.

Did Su Xiaofei take pity on Tang Liyan? Certainly not. But because Su Xiaofei couldn't forget the look of the child as she was abandoned in a mental facility by her father, it made her blood boil in anger. Su Xiaofei hated how adults didn't care about committing sins, ignoring how their children would suffer from it in the future.

Tang Liyan was obviously taken aback by this young woman's words. It seemed like Su Xiaofei had done her homework and knew her secrets. She wasn't surprised at all, as she had already encountered conniving people who knew how to use other people's weaknesses to get a hold on them. However, she just didn't expect that a young woman like Su Xiaofei was aware of the dark ways of the industry.

"What if I don't agree with you?" She asked Su Xiaofei.

Su Xiaofei shrugged and leaned comfortably on her seat, the Zhang siblings standing a couple of feet away from her, waiting for her next order.

"I don't know, but maybe be happy and content with the life you and your daughter have right now? Miss Tang should understand that the moment a woman becomes a mother, her life isn't hers alone. Bluemedia and I are willing to give you a chance for a comeback, but it's up to you to overcome the pressure and prove that you are still that superstar Tang Liyan everyone was praising for her acting."

Tang Liyan couldn't find any words to refute what Su Xiaofei had just said, not when this young woman was using her precious daughter, who was only five at the moment. Indeed, she regretted being blinded out of love and married a man whom she thought had loved her unconditionally on impulse. Had she given it a good thought and considered the red flags she blatantly ignored in the past, none of these would happen to her.

She had been aware of her husband's several extramarital affairs, but she could only suck it up and feign innocence about it, as she thought if they were to divorce, the custody of her daughter would immediately fall into her scumbag husband's hand. Tang Liyan certainly wouldn't allow another woman of his to raise her daughter and teach her bad things.

"How confident are you that I will be able to play the role of the female lead well?" Tang Liyan asked Su Xiaofei.

When the Zhang siblings came to her, extending a card with the information regarding the audition, Tang Liyan had been confused. She had left the industry for seven years and accepted that there was no chance she could step back into the limelight.

As for the millions of money she earned from her long years as an actress, Tang Liyan never had a chance to enjoy the fruit of her hard work since her mother had taken it upon herself to manage her finances. It was also her mother who had forced her to marry the wealthy businessman that was now her husband, convincing her that she won't have to work hard acting in front of the camera anymore, considering her age.

"Miss Tang is being humble now. I've seen your audition video and I could say that the board and the producer are pleased with your performance. Acting is deeply ingrained in your bones. It is a craft you have cultivated for so many years before, and I bet it's hard for you not to notice the rising stars in the industry while you do your household chores, waiting for your cheating husband to return home late at night."

That hit the spot for Tang Liyan.

How did she know? Tang Liyan thought. Was she really this clear and predictable in front of this young woman? So many nights, she wondered what kind of life she would have if she didn't listen to her greedy mother and chose her flourishing career over a man.. Furthermore, she was aware that she was the one responsible to what happen to her and it was too later to regret now.
