The woman with the suspenders asked sternly, “What are you doing? Are you secretly taking photos of Sister Yingying?”
With that, she wanted to snatch the camera from that person’s hands.
That person looked up at the two of them with excitement in his eyes. He said matter-of-factly, “Didn’t you celebrities become celebrities so that we’d take photos of you?”
As he spoke, he took advantage of the fact that he was a man and quickly dodged. He even raised his camera and said in a proud and excited tone, “Look at what I took today. Xue Ying was jealous that Yu Ling’er received the second female lead role in ‘Xuanyuan Dynasty’ and hid in a corner, saying that Yu Ling’er’s ability and looks are inferior to hers. That Yu Ling’er had relied on her sugar daddy to get to where she is today.”
“Nonsense!” Xue Ying was so angry that her eyes turned red. “Please don’t spout nonsense.”
“Nonsense? Didn’t you say those words just now? Do you want me to show it to you?” As the person spoke, the smile on his face became even more smug.
The two women turned pale and looked lost.
This further fueled his arrogance. He actually said, “You’re the queen of dirt anyway. You’re so plagued by scandals already that this wouldn’t make a difference anyway. Pitiful me had endured the scorching heat and squatted here for so long before snapping these goodies.”
With that, he turned to leave.
Chu Luo originally didn’t want to continue poking her nose into other people’s business. However, she couldn’t stand seeing a grown man bully a woman like this.
“Hey,” she called out and walked out from the corner.
The paparazzi stopped and turned around. When he saw Chu Luo, his eyes were filled with surprise.
Even the two women were stunned by her gorgeous appearance.
Chu Luo looked at him and said, “Give me the camera.”
“Who are you?” Although Chu Luo was very beautiful, the paparazzi didn’t know her. He guessed that she definitely wasn’t from the entertainment circle, so he said, “You better not poke your nose into other people’s business.”
“What if I insist?”
“Do you think you can meddle in this?” The paparazzi obviously didn’t take Chu Luo seriously. After saying that, he prepared to run.
“We’ll know after I try.” As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, she flashed and appeared in front of him in the next second. She snatched the camera from his hand and attacked at the same time.
Bam!
“Ouch~~”
Looking at the paparazzi, who was flying until he got slammed into the wall, the two women standing at the side were stunned by Chu Luo’s actions.
Chu Luo didn’t look at them. She approached the paparazzi, who was coughing in the corner with his hand on his chest, and said, “How is it? Do you need me to continue poking my nose into it?”
The paparazzi trembled in fear and quickly said, “No need, no need.”
Gritting his teeth in hatred, he continued to plead, “Miss, please return the camera to me. This is what I rely on to put food on the table. My family has elders and children. My family depends on my salary. If the camera is missing, not only will I have to compensate, but I will also be fired…”
“Then just wait to be fired.”
Chu Luo didn’t miss the viciousness in the paparazzi’s eyes. The corners of her lips curled up into a sneer. She studied the camera for a while and quickly pressed a few buttons on it before slamming the camera heavily against the wall.
As the camera was smashed into pieces, Chu Luo turned to look at the two women standing there and said, “Let’s go.”
With that, she turned around and flicked a pill on her finger. The paparazzi fainted.
After the three of them had been walking for a while, the woman called Xue Ying stopped and said to Chu Luo, “Thank you for earlier.”
“No need.”
Chu Luo took a closer look at the woman’s face and was shocked to discover that she was actually destined for wealth and riches. Moreover, she would have a prosperous future in both career and love. However, at this moment, there was a layer of black aura between her brows.
At this point, she knew what it was.
This woman’s luck had been borrowed by someone else using some means.
She suddenly became interested and asked, “Which production team are you from? I got separated from my friend. Can I go with you guys first?”
Xue Ying and Jiajia looked at each other and were very grateful to Chu Luo. The girl in suspenders said, “We are from the production team of ‘Xuanyuan Dynasty.’”
Xue Ying also said, “Sure.”
The three of them walked towards the filming location.
As she walked, Xue Ying asked, “May I know your name?”
“Chu Luo.”
“My name is Xue Ying. She is my assistant, Zhu Jiajia.”
“Mm.”
The three of them arrived at the filming location.
It seemed like the filming had ended by now, and the staff was packing up the props.
The three of them walked in from the side. On the way, Chu Luo said that her friend had specially come for Ci Jing. Xue Ying directly led her towards the lounge where Ci Jing was resting.
However, she still said, “There are many assistants and bodyguards around the perimeter. We probably won’t be able to go in. When the time comes, you can stay far away and see if your friend is around. If not, I’ll get Jiajia to send you to a place where you can ride a rickshaw.”
“Okay.”
Not long after they left, the three of them bumped into a woman who was surrounded by a few people.
That woman wasn’t as beautiful as Xue Ying, but there was a charm between her brows and her manner of walking was also coquettish.
The moment the woman saw Xue Ying, her gaze swept across her face. It was unknown if she did it on purpose, but she immediately apologized to her in a delicate voice that gave people goosebumps. “Yingying, I’m really sorry for just now. I didn’t control my strength well. I didn’t mean to slap your face so red.”
“Yu Ling’er, cut the pretense. You obviously did it on purpose.”
“Zhu Jiajia, Sister Ling’er is sincerely apologizing to Xue Ying. Don’t measure other people’s hearts with your own.”
“I…”
“Alright, stop fighting.” Yu Ling’er seemed to have stopped her assistant, but she deliberately ignored Zhu Jiajia. Her gaze shifted to Chu Luo’s face.
Actually, the first person she saw was Chu Luo, but she still had to pretend.
After pretending, she asked, “Who is this?”
There was no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry. Even Yu Ling’er had never taken them seriously. She felt that she could surpass everyone, but when she looked at Chu Luo, she felt an indescribable sense of crisis. This sense of crisis made her immediately filled with hostility towards Chu Luo.
“Could it be a student who’d sneaked into our production team to recommend herself to the director? Tsk tsk… Little girl, don’t you know the rules of the entertainment industry?”
Xue Ying and Zhu Jiajia started to speak up.
But Chu Luo asked first, “What rules?”
Yu Ling’er thought to herself, ‘Just as I thought,’ and a scheming glint flashed across her eyes. However, she said to her with a kind expression, “Come closer. I’ll tell you secretly.”
“Yu Ling’er, what are you trying to do?” Xue Ying frowned and turned to Chu Luo. “Chu Luo, don’t listen to her.”
Zhu Jiajia chimed in, “She doesn’t have good intentions.”
“Pfft…” Yu Ling’er sneered. “I think you guys are just jealous that I got the second female lead role. Xue Ying, to think that we were friends who debuted at the same time. I didn’t expect you to be such a person. ”
“Yu Ling’er, stop playing the blame game!”
When Chu Luo saw that Zhu Jiajia looked like she wanted to roll up her sleeves and fight with Yu Ling’er, she said to the two of them, “It’s fine. I’ll just listen to her tips for success.”
After saying that, she even smiled at the two of them before walking towards Yu Ling’er.
Chu Luo walked in front of Yu Ling’er and looked at her face. Indeed, she realized that there was a luck that didn’t belong to her circulating around her body. The corners of her lips curled up. “You can tell me now.”
Yu Ling’er looked at the approaching Chu Luo and realized that her skin was flawless. Also, this disposition… if she could have this disposition, coupled with this face, she would definitely have a smooth career path all the way and directly become an international superstar like Ci Jing.
At the thought of this, an excited glint flashed across her eyes. She said, “A girl as beautiful as you actually only needs to show her face in front of the director to get him to offer you a role.”
As she spoke, she smiled and said, “Sister, you should already know. Our production team is shooting a major production. When the time comes, we will be going to the International Film Festival. As long as you can show your face to the camera, your road to stardom will definitely be limitless.”
Chu Luo wanted to see what this woman wanted to do to her, so she asked with a smile, “So that’s it? I just have to go to the director and show my face?”
“That’s right… I’m going to talk to the director about something. Why don’t you come with me? I’ll put in a good word for you, and the director will definitely look at you in a different light.”
Chu Luo pretended to consider it.
Yu Ling’er: “Our scenes for today are done. The director should be preparing to leave. Sister, you better think carefully. You can’t miss this opportunity.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
“That’s right. If you become famous in the entertainment industry in the future, don’t forget me.”
“I won’t forget.”
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled. Chu Luo followed Yu Ling’er.
“Hey, Chu Luo, don’t…”
Xue Ying’s voice came from behind her. She wanted to stop her, but she was interrupted by one of Yu Ling’er’s assistants with mocking words.
The voices behind her became softer and softer. Chu Luo followed Yu Ling’er and her assistants into a row of houses.
The buildings here were exactly the same as the ones in ancient times. The group walked through a long corridor. After turning a corner, Yu Ling’er suddenly stopped and said to the assistants behind her, “You guys wait here. I’ll bring this sister to the director.”
The assistants obediently stopped.
Then, the two of them entered a courtyard. There was a flowering pomegranate tree in the courtyard. At this time, the pomegranate flowers were blooming beautifully.
When Yu Ling’er brought her to the pomegranate tree, she stopped and said, “Sister, wait here for a while. The director is in the room in front. I’ll go and speak with him. Come in when I call you.”
“Okay.”
Yu Ling’er walked towards the room in front.
Chu Luo stood under the blooming pomegranate tree and admired the flowers on it.
At this moment, a ball of black aura floated over from the direction Yu Ling’er had gone, wanting to surround Chu Luo.
Chu Luo plucked a pomegranate flower from the tree and smiled. “As expected…”
With that, she swept the black aura with the flower and it dissipated.
At the same time, the door of the wing in front was knocked open by a force. First, a middle-aged man in a navy blue Tang suit fell out with a frightened expression.
Then, the ball of black aura transformed and floated out while emitting a child-like giggle.
