Chapter 322: The Jerk Hits on Her
Alas, having an outstanding female protagonist can also be troublesome.
After the comedic scene was over, it was time for the serious scheming parts.
Xu Jiayang had always felt that there was something secretive going on between these two women, afraid they couldn’t pull off the intense rival scenes.
But he later realized he had worried too much.
Xia Weibao, true to her title as a Best Actress, nailed every scene in one take!
And although Lu Huashan had not been popular before, it was only due to her looks limiting her roles.
After years of honing her craft in the entertainment industry, her acting skills were refined and pure!
She, too, nailed it in one take!
Watching these two women act out their scenes, Xu Jiayang was so moved he almost jumped up in excitement!
So satisfying!
This was real acting!
The rest of the crew were drawn in, watching the two act and learning.
They were becoming more and more curious about Huashan’s identity.
If she were a newcomer, how could she have such terrifying acting skills?
If she’s not a newcomer, how could such a beautiful star go unnoticed?
But Xu Jiayang just wouldn’t reveal her identity, only referring to her as Noble Consort Mei, which only mystified Huashan’s identity further.
Seeing the crew’s curiosity piqued, Xu Jiayang revealed a smile like an old hen, exactly the effect he wanted.
Letting everyone guess would be a great selling point!
They filmed scenes with the two all day long, and by the time the evening came and they wrapped up, they were so tired they couldn’t even lift a finger.
They didn’t even have the strength to return to the dressing room, and just sat down right there on the open ground.
Lu Huashan’s phone buzzed, and as she took it out and saw the message, she rolled her eyes to the sky.
"Who is it?"
Weibao didn’t understand; who had irritated her with that annoyed expression?
"Just a scumbag."
As she spoke, Huashan handed the phone to Xia Weibao.
It was a text from Li Yi, her ex-crummy boyfriend.
Xia Weibao glanced at the text message, "Dear, where have you gone? Why aren’t you answering my calls? I’m really worried about you, I can’t even eat, please reply to me."
Ugh...
Can’t even eat – how could he even say that?
She has seen Li Yi sneaking off to meet with Ruan Jiajia every day.
Just then, someone walked by carrying a bag of apples when suddenly the bag split open, spilling apples all over the ground.
A few rolled right in front of them, so the person hurried over to pick them up.
"I’m so sorry, ladies, I hope I didn’t hit you."
Seeing Li Yi’s eager face, Xia Weibao smirked coldly.
Meanwhile, Lu Huashan was already ridiculing him in her mind, thinking how stale this pick-up tactic was; she had overused it years ago!
"It’s fine," said Huashan, expressionless.
Li Yi quickly offered two apples, "Please, have some."
Xia Weibao just smiled silently, watching these two perform their act.
Lu Huashan smiled faintly, "How could we, we don’t even know each other."
Damn!
They had dated for so long, and even if she had changed her appearance, her voice remained the same, right?
Others might not recognize her, but her "boyfriend" Li Yi couldn’t either?
This was truly unbelievable.
And just after sending a message saying he missed her so much he couldn’t eat, he turned around to hit on "another" woman, was his face not swollen yet?
Li Yi smiled broadly, "How can we not know each other? We’re from the same crew. I often treat people from the crew, don’t be shy."
More like hitting on women all around.
Lu Huashan complained internally, berating herself for ever falling for such a man!
