The phone only rang once before Ye Xin hastily answered the call.

“Hello?”

“Young Miss, this is Xiao Du. Sir is busy at the moment so he asked me to speak to you. If there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to let me know.”

Ye Xin said through gritted teeth, “Busy? What’s he busy with? Isn’t he just having dinner with that old hag?!”

Xiao Du remained silent.

Ye Xin ended the call. She held the phone in her hand as she seethed with anger.

…

It was not difficult for Ye Xin to navigate the filming set. After all, she used to be in the entertainment industry and had filmed movies and shows before.

As soon as she arrived at the set, her mood soured even more. Once upon a time, she was a popular star with tens of millions of fans. If it were not for Song Ning, would she have ended up in such a state?

She stood at the side quietly as she watched the filming.

The film was set in the past. The female lead was wearing a qipao and her back was facing Ye Xin. Her figure was so good that even Ye Xin glanced at her a few more times.

At this time, the male lead’s hand was raised. He was supposed to slap the female lead. However, when his hand fell, he gently moved past her face. After that, he sighed and walked to the director’s seat. Then, he asked, “Director, do you think we can change the angle of the camera?”

The female lead hurriedly said, “There’s no need for that. Yu Yang, you have to really slap me. We have to be as real as possible in our acting.”

“Zhuang Ning, I really can’t hit a woman,” Yu Yang said sheepishly.

Zhuang Ning smiled. “If you don’t really hit me, we won’t be able to portray the characters realistically. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

“It’s difficult. I feel like a huge scumbag,” Yu Yang said with a wry smile.

“We’re just acting. You’re a scumbag in the movie, not in real life,” Zhuang Ning replied.

At this moment, the director stepped forward and said, “Listen to Zhuang Ning. Yu Yang, if you feel bad for hitting her, treat her to a good meal after this.”

Yu Yang hurriedly said, “Of course!”

The director nodded happily now that the matter was resolved.

Meanwhile, Ye Xin was surprised when she saw the director was Pan Hao. She did not expect Cheng Che to find Pan Hao to direct the movie. A hint of restlessness rose in her heart immediately. It had been her dream to act in a movie Pan Hao directed. She grew even more curious about the actors of the movie.

In the past, Ye Xin had asked Yang Li to pull strings for her so she could act in Pan Hao’s movie. Unfortunately, after seeing her pictures and tapes of her auditions, he never got in contact with her. Even after trying multiple times, she failed to catch Pan Hao’s eyes.

Pan Hao was a man of integrity. Ye Xin knew he would not give in to the pressure from her management company. Hence, she could only rely on Yang Li. After all, Yang Li and Pan Hao were acquainted. However, Yang Li was so useless that she failed time and time again. In fact, she suspected that Yang Li had deliberately sabotaged her. After all, all Yang Li cared about was that b*tch, Song Ning.

Suddenly, Ye Xin saw a familiar figure at this moment.

‘Peng? What’s she doing?’ Ye Xin frowned when she saw her former assistant.

At this moment, filming had begun again. The male and female leads were brimming with emotions. Their expressions and postures were perfect.

When the agitated male lead slapped the female lead, she fell to the ground. He hesitated briefly, but in the end, he did not help her up.

The female lead pressed her hand to her cheek as she looked at him and said with a sad smile, “Very well. From now on, let’s part ways. I wish you well.”

The despair in the female lead’s voice was truly heartbreaking.

At this moment, the director yelled, “Cut!”

Then, Yu Yang hurriedly bent over to help Zhuang Ning up. At the same time, he apologized profusely. “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry about that Zhuang Ning.”

Zhuang Ning smiled. “It’s alright. You don’t have to apologize.”

Peng Peng handed Zhuang Ning an ice pack at this moment.

As she pressed the ice pack to her face, Zhuang Ning said with a smile, “My skin is thick. I’ll be fine after using the ice pack.. Don’t worry.”
