Chapter 591: Always at Odds
In any case, Mai Douer was filled with grievances. She felt that her life shouldn’t be like this. Why were things like this?
She was also very dissatisfied with her manager for always getting this type of role for her. Mai Douer felt that her manager didn’t care about her at all. However, in regards to care, her manager always came with her even when she was only filming an insignificant role to look after her and do little things like bring her tea.
So in plain terms, Mai Douer was just resentful because Ning Shu couldn’t find her better roles.
When Mai Douer got changed, she found that her abdomen and chest were bruised from the wires digging into her flesh. Her lungs hurt whenever she coughed.
After coming out of the changing room, she didn’t say anything to Ning Shu and just got in the car. Ning Shu smiled faintly as she got into the driver’s seat and drove back to the apartments.
After a while, Mai Douer said, “Big Sis Chen, I heard that there’s a dinner party tonight. I want to go. I don’t want to film tomorrow since my body hurts from those wires.”
Ning Shu looked towards Mai Douer in surprise. “Didn’t you hate those gatherings the most?”
The dinner party tomorrow night was when Mo Juefeng and Mai Douer got involved with each other in the original storyline. Ning Shu hadn’t been planning to take her and she had no plans of allowing her to appear now.
She was very surprised that Mai Douer took the initiative to bring it up. She didn’t know if it was due to what she had to suffer these past few days or because she just didn’t want to take any more of those small roles so these thoughts of getting roles in other ways emerged. She was losing her past purity?
However, it didn’t matter what Mai Douer was thinking because Ning Shu wouldn’t be agreeing. She said, “Since you’re not feeling well, there’s no need to go to the gathering. I won’t plan any work for you tomorrow either, so just focus on recovering.”
“Big Sis Chen, do you blame me for causing you trouble last time? I promise I’ll be good this time. I won’t cause trouble for you!” said Mai Douer earnestly.
Ning Shu lifted her brows. “Why do you suddenly want to go to a dinner party?”
“I was ignorant in the past. I know now that Big Sis Chen had just wanted me to meet more people.” Mai Douer looked towards Ning Shu with her sincere and pure gaze.
Ning Shu ignored it. It wasn’t like she was a man, so using this kind of gaze on her was pointless. She said calmly, “There’ll be plenty of parties like this in the future. Your health is the most important thing right now. I found a CD with acting lessons in the company resources, so I’ll watch it with you tomorrow.”
Mai Douer was very vexed. Although this manager always talked like she had her best interests in mind, for some reason she still felt like she had lot of stifled anger and discontent.
Her manager insisted on dragging her to dinner parties when she didn’t want to go, but now that she wanted to see the world more, her manager refused to let her go and was using all sorts of reasons to stop her.
Mai Douer felt that their views were always at odds.
