Next day, when Xin Mei woke up, her inbox was filled with a lot of notifications. Xin Mei felt overwhelmed with so many notifications.
At first, she opened the message from Gu Nan which contained a video from the show of last night. Xin Mei decided not to watch it. She opened her Weibo account which now had more than one million followers. Her mouth got opened in shock when she saw the number of followers.
Many of her followers had shared her posts and many had tagged her in the show from last night. Now nearly everyone was praising her. Guess, PR team of He Ye had done their work last night.
On revenge page, someone had posted a question about the ident.i.ty of the mystery man who had sent flowers to Xin Mei.
"Who can be this mystery man to send so many flowers to our Xin Mei?"
Xin Mei rubbed the s.p.a.ce in between her brows. She turned off the notifications of her app before starting her day.
When she reached the breakfast table, her whole family was waiting for her. Her father was looking at her with suspicious filled eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Xin Mei asked.
She placed her handbag on an empty chair and took her seat on another chair.
"Xiao Mei, we got to know about the roses. Will you like to elaborate about this to your father?" her father asked.
"Oh that, I guess I received them from some mysteries admirer." Xin Mei shrugged and filled herself a gla.s.s of juice.
"We know that, will you now tell me the name of that admirer, so I can shoot him with my gun?" Xin Jin gritted his teeth.
He felt so angry when he saw the photo of roses, the last night. He was about to rush towards the room of Xin Mei at that very moment itself but He Lin stopped him.
"I don"t know him father. To add-in, I think it was a prank by one of the crew staff. They needed the flowers for some scene and instead of ordering at their name they ordered it at my name."
"You sure, you don"t know his name."
"Sure, sure. I don"t know who my mysterious admirer is." Xin Mei raised her hands in surrender. "And if one day, I got to know his ident.i.ty, then I promise you will be the first one to know his name."
Xin Jin nodded in satisfaction. His daughter had already suffered by being in the relations.h.i.+p with Qian Fan. Now he wouldn"t be lenient towards the next relations.h.i.+p of Xin Mei. He would be very serious towards it.
"Remember it, Xiao Mei. Next time, I will have my full say in case of your relations.h.i.+p. I will not let the case of Qian Fan to repeat."
"Understand father."
Xin Mei didn"t say anything more. She concentrated on eating her food. In her family, it was the first time someone had taken the name of Qian Fan after their breakup. She didn"t want to spoil her mood upon hearing his name.
After completing her breakfast, Xin Mei hugged her parents she kissed their cheeks and made her way towards her car.
Xin Mei arrived at the studio. She directly went towards her changing room where she got ready for today"s scene. A smile left her lips when she saw that today in the evening, she had a scene with Zhou Mingyu.
In the morning, the scene to be filmed was of Chunhua who was skimming against Ruyi. Chunhua got to know that Ruyi was favourite of Emperor Kai and Chunhua now wanted to eliminate this Ruyi.
Next scene was the scene where Ruyi by mistake walked over emperor Kai and Chunhua. She got scolded by emperor Kai. The scene ended with the painful expression on the face of Ruyi.
When the director shouted cut and announced a lunch break. Everyone started to praise Zhou Mingyu. Today again she had given a flawless performance.
Zhou Mingyu couldn"t wait for the next scene. With teacher Ming, she had prepared that scene a lot of times. With that scene, she wanted to show everyone that her acting skills were better than Xin Mei.
"Zhou Mingyu, someone has sent gifts for you," Producer-a.s.sistant yelled and at the same time, a delivery boy came in with a lot of soft toys, of every shape and size.
"Senior Zhou is so lucky. The second day also she is receiving gifts from her fans."
"Look at the soft toys. They look expensive and of high quality."
Everyone was praising Zhou Mingyu and she was gloating with proud. She felt proud of her fans who sent her the gift.
At the same moment, another delivery boy arrived. He was from one of the very famous and expensive food restaurants.
"I have a lunch delivery for Miss Xin." He informed.
Everyone gasped when they heard the delivery boy. They all looked at the name of the restaurant on the package. It was from the royal restaurant and they knew the minimum cost of ordering takeout from Royal restaurant in itself was ten thousand.
One of the female looked at the chit which was attached with the delivery. She couldn"t help herself from reading it aloud.
"I don"t want you to lose your weight. So a special lunch for you.
S.Z."
Everyone started to discuss this S.Z. who had arranged for such an expensive lunch for Xin Mei on their second day of the shoot.
Xin Mei felt embarra.s.sed when she heard everyone. She sent Fang Lin to receive the delivery. Fang Lin returned with a package in her hand and placed everything on the table.
"Your admirers are so cool Xin Mei. First flowers and now lunch. By the way, do you know any person with initials S.Z?"
"No," Xin Mei shook her head. She pressed her forefingers on her temple and tried to remember if she knew someone with initials S.Z. she came out empty-handed.
Eating an expensive lunch was very difficult for Xin Mei. Everyone was looking at her table only. Everyone was looking at her with greedy eyes which made Xin Mei lost her hunger. She gave her package to Fang Lin who had the food with a lot of happiness.
"Who is this S.Z?"
Xin Mei forced her brain to remember if she had ever known someone with initials S.Z. She also counted down the names of her cla.s.smates but didn"t find anyone.
Xin Mei was wondering about the ident.i.ty of S.Z. when another delivery man arrived with a box of chocolate-hazelnut ice-cream for her.
"Ice-cream after a delicious lunch - S.Z."
Xin Mei closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Guess she had gotten herself involved with a crazy admirer on the second day of official announcement itself.
Xin Mei asked Fang Lin to store the box of ice-cream in the refrigerator in her room. Then she diverted her attention to reading the script. She had a final patch-up of makeup before she made her way towards the set.
This was the scene for which Xin Mei was waiting from the morning, face off of Chunhua and Ruyi. Zhou Mingyu and Xin Mei both stood on the set, looking at one another with challenging eyes.
Let"s see who will win!
