Chapter 585: Meeting Du Manqing
“Sister Mei, he’s my relative and an elder. Why would we break up? We’ve never been together.” Ling Sheng did not know how stubborn a person’s preconceived notions could be. Why did she keep thinking that there was something between her and her father?
Jun Shiyan finished cooking and brought the dishes out one by one. Upon seeing that the young lady was on the phone, he said, “Sheng Sheng, it’s time to eat.”
Ling Sheng said, “Sister Mei, I’m not chatting with you anymore. The Third Master has asked me to eat.”
Mei Xuelin thought, You’re deliberately showing off your affection. “Let me remind you that Du Manqing is also shooting the cover of a magazine in the Maldives. If you meet her, be careful.”
Ling Sheng asked, “Do you think she’ll attack me?”
Mei Xuelin said, “I’m not sure, but she was quite angry when she left. She compensated me with a lot of money, so she’ll probably blame it on you.”
Ling Sheng bellowed, “What did I do to deserve this suffering!?”
Mei Xuelin cleared her throat. “However, with the Third Master around, you don’t have to worry. You just have to be vigilant. Go and eat!”
She had always felt that she had experienced a lot of storms and waves in her life. No matter what she faced, she could remain calm. However, her heart really couldn’t deal with this incident!
It seemed like she would have to prepare quick-acting pills to calm her nerves in the future. She was getting old, and she really could not take such a big blow.
For the first time, Ling Sheng felt that Sister Mei was a jinx. She really met Du Manqing in the Maldives after all. She greeted her politely with a smile. “Hi, Senior Du. What a coincidence.”
Du Manqing, who still had the elegant demeanor of a cold G.o.ddess, nodded slightly at her with a smile on her face. “I heard from our cameraman yesterday that your film crew would be coming here today. I was wondering if we would meet. It was really fate!”
Despite her meticulous planning, Ling Sheng had actually managed to escape. That little b*tch was really lucky. She had even heard that she had almost drowned while filming the day before yesterday. Not only had she not drowned, but she had also gained a blessing in disguise and earned a higher advertis.e.m.e.nt fee.
“Senior Du is right.” Ling Sheng did not know what to say to her, but she could not fall out with her in front of so many people. She could only pretend to be polite.
The workers nearby all knew that the two of them used to be managed by the same celebrity manager. The famous star manager of the entertainment circle, Mei Xuelin, had a senior-junior relationship with her.
However, some time ago, Du Manqing had terminated her contract with Mei Xuelin. Everyone said that the two of them had fallen out. If one judged Ling Sheng’s relationship with Du Manqing from this interaction, the two of them had been chatting quite amicably. Their relationship was not as bad as the rumors said.
In the entertainment circle, one could not say for sure what was going on. On the surface, they might be very close, but who knew if one was a backstabber behind the scenes? One moment, their sisterly relationship was deep, and the next moment, they were fighting to the death.
The production team had rented a beachside pool and both parties needed to film there. The directors negotiated and decided to use the venue together. The two sides would not affect each other, and they would save a lot of expenses.
Ling Sheng did not know if Gu Shen felt guilty about her drowning, but his att.i.tude toward her had improved. However, the way he looked at her made her feel strange occasionally.
While they were filming underwater scenes, every time he went up, he would turn around to take a look at her. He only went ash.o.r.e after confirming that she was following him.
The production team was afraid. During filming, they had arranged for a few lifeguards to watch her as though she was a criminal.
When the last underwater shoot ended, Ling Sheng suddenly saw a beautiful sh.e.l.l with a purple glow beside the coral reef on her left. She tugged at the lifeguards’ clothes and pointed there, indicating that she would be back soon.
