Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
s.h.i.+ Nianyao and s.h.i.+ Xun were siblings.
The only two offsprings of the s.h.i.+ Family.
At a young age, s.h.i.+ Xun had had leukemia and s.h.i.+ Nianyao had been conceived to save s.h.i.+ Xun.
The two of them were about six years apart in age. On top of being sickly, s.h.i.+ Xun had been kidnapped in his childhood. He had grown up fast because of these unpleasant experiences; but also, from a young age he had appreciated his little sister. Hence all these years, he had doted on her and made her the apple of his eye.
Basically, no matter what s.h.i.+ Nianyao wanted, s.h.i.+ Xun would never deny her.
People who knew him knew that he was crazy for his sister.
When s.h.i.+ Nianyao saw her brother walk in, right away she smiled so broadly that her eyes became half moons.
She did not say a word and merely pursed her lips. Then pouting, she pointed at Qiao Yiyi.
s.h.i.+ Xun’s expression darkened.
Although he had no idea what his sister was trying to do, it was obvious she didn’t want her ident.i.ty to be made known. But… why was his own sister being treated like this by the filming crew?
They were seriously going overboard!
His eyes flashed and his expression sharpened.
Qiao Yiyi, on the other hand, did not notice all of this.
She only noticed that s.h.i.+ Xun was a gentleman of elegant and graceful carriage, despite his rather severe aura. When she heard the director address him as Mr. s.h.i.+, she immediately understood that he was the second investor of the production.
His earlier remark about her suggested that he was probably unaware that she was Second Brother’s woman.
Hence, Qiao Yiyi immediately stepped forward and extended her hand towards him, saying, “Mr. s.h.i.+, how are you? I’m Qiao Yiyi, the female lead of the film. My Second Brother Lu Nanze has been hoping to meet you. How unexpected that you’ve come here instead!”
She said this, making her own ident.i.ty obvious.
She was quite sure that s.h.i.+ Xun wouldn’t want to make Lu Nanze look bad.
However, s.h.i.+ Xun stood there motionless and took no notice of her extended hand.
Qiao Yiyi was speechless.
She bit her lip and ventured, “Mr. s.h.i.+?”
It was only then that s.h.i.+ Xun looked as though he had noticed her for the first time. Still, he did not reply and instead turned towards the director asking, “Since when have the n.o.bodies in the filming crew been allowed to address me?”
Qiao Yiyi turned pale at his words.
She wondered if it was her imagination.
She had just called s.h.i.+ Nianyao was a n.o.body.
And now, s.h.i.+ Xun was in turn calling her a n.o.body. Was he avenging s.h.i.+ Nianyao?
She shook with anger. “Mr. s.h.i.+, no matter what, you should give me some face.”
“Give you some face?” s.h.i.+ Xun did not bother to mince his words. “What are you exactly?”
Qiao Yiyi was speechless.
s.h.i.+ Xun took a step forward and continued, “Besides Lu Nanze, there’s no need for me to give anyone else any face.”
Then he looked at the director. “I’m here to inspect the filming set. This woman here is bossing people around. Is this how the filming crew functions?”
Even though he was being reprimanded, the director now felt quite exuberant.
Qiao Yiyi had all sorts of tricks up her sleeves and had been stirring trouble every day.
He had long been tired of her behavior.
And now he finally had some backing to retaliate!
The director put on a serious expression at once. “Qiao Yiyi, are you done preparing for all your filming segments? Why are you bossing around here? Do hurry up and go study your script.”
Qiao Yiyi’s expression immediately changed and she opened her mouth to talk back. However, the director continued reprimanding her, “Are you still interested in filming? If not, scram! I’ve never seen this kind of filming!”
