Chapter 220: 220: Who do you think you are?
“Director, it doesn’t matter even if I’m the only one who understands this! That lady that you found for the role has a heart condition. When I told her to leave, she started holding her chest, and when Jing Qian told her to leave, she did the exact same thing! She said that every day from now onwards, she would be using the same dressing room as Jing Qian, and even said things like she never liked sharing things with others, refusing to use the same room as the other actresses here.
“Then, she even wanted to use Flower, which belonged to Jing Qian! Jing Qian had no other choice but to throw away her foundation.
“Director Pan, not that I’m complaining, but where did you find such a peculiar actress? Not only is she a n.o.body in the industry, can she stop being such a little princess?”
Weiwei did not know that he had turned to speaker mood, which was why she started complaining to Director Pan. She has been working with him for years and was considered one of his closest colleagues on set, which allowed her to talk in such a straightforward manner to him.
With every word that Weiwei said, Jing Lu’s face turned ghastly pale, and the look in Yunxiao’s eyes turned crueler as time pa.s.sed.
“So, Jing Qian had been waiting in her dressing room for Jing Lu to be done with her makeup?”
Although Director Pan was asking Weiwei, his eyes were locked on Jing Qian. It was an incredibly fierce look and Jing Lu started s.h.i.+vering in fear. As she was so scared that almost pa.s.sed out, she turned around and called out,
“Brother Yi…”
“Yes. What else could we do? Should we just allow her to have a heart attack on set? Director, why are these people on set instead of being at the hospital? Since she was able to get such a huge role as a new actress who has no previous work, this would mean that she must be loaded back at home. Why is she making her life difficult?
“I also heard that she has a boyfriend who’s also in the Entertainment industry, someone famous. Since he’s that well-established, he wouldn’t have allowed her to be here on set with her ‘terrifying’ condition, just so that she could earn enough money for her treatment, right?”
With these words combined with how Jing Lu had been looking at Qin Yi dependently when she got herself in trouble, the crowd subconsciously turned to Qin Yi when they heard the word ‘boyfriend.’
Qin Yi’s mind exploded on the spot.
He… He had never thought of acknowledging Jing Lu as his girlfriend.
At this moment, he finally realized what a big mistake he had made in getting Jing Lu to be in the same production as him.
Jing Lu may look adorable and was an understanding woman, but he would rather be rumored to be together with Jing Qian, who was the first female lead, as it would bring him more of an advantage.
While facing the crowd, Qin Yi tried to keep his poker face on so that no one here could see how guilty he felt.
Director Pan ended the call and turned towards Jing Lu, whose face was now white, her heart already racing uncontrollably.
“You are just a supporting role, but you were using the female lead’s room? You wasted all of our time just so that you could get your makeup done? Who do you think you are?!”
Pan Wei was always known for his harsh words while screaming at others. He also recently found out that their boss, Zhan Yihe, was fired from her post. The only people here that he had to be nice to were Jing Qian and Yunxiao. As for the rest of them, he had the right to deal with them as per his preference.
Therefore, Jing Lu was just a dispensable actress on his set.
He didn’t mind her being on set since the other boss had already said that she could stay here as long as she didn’t cause any trouble, but now…
Hehe!
Facing Pan Wei’s merciless ridicule, Jing Lu had never been insulted this badly before in her entire life.
She knew that Brother Yi had gone through a great deal of trouble just to get here, which was why his words wouldn’t matter. She wanted to ask for help from Jing Qian, but she wasn’t here.
Therefore, Jing Lu had no other choice but to accept the harsh ridicule and questions from Pan Wei while s.h.i.+vering in fear. She apologized in a soft voice while trying to explain herself, “I’m- I’m sorry, Director Pan. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
