“Lin Xia, I disdain using so-called backers to snatch resources. On the other hand, you seem so familiar with this method. Could it be that you relied on your backer to snatch a lot of resources?” After Mo Rao questioned her, Lin Xia’s expression changed.
“Oh right, haven’t there been rumors recently that the CEO of the Peng Corporation is Lin Xia’s sugar daddy?”
“That’s right… She has a sugar daddy herself, but she’s throwing shade at Mo Rao.”
…
When the discussion entered Lin Xia’s ears, she glared at the people who were discussing, then turned to glare at Mo Rao angrily. “What evidence do you have to say that about me?!”
“Then what evidence do you have to ruin my reputation online?” Mo Rao asked.
Lin Xia was once again rendered speechless by Mo Rao.
She thought that Mo Rao was a meek girl, but she didn’t expect her to be so eloquent. Mo Rao wasn’t a pushover at all.
“No matter what, we’ll see who’s the paper tiger during the audition later.” Mo Rao smiled at Lin Xia and said provocatively.
Lin Xia clenched her fists as she stared at Mo Rao’s back with anger in her eyes.
Finally, it was time for the audition. The actresses sat in the waiting room. Mo Rao read the content of the audition seriously. It was a crying scene that had to reflect the anguish of the female lead losing her only sister. At the same time, she had to show her determination to avenge her sister.
Although crying scenes were a must for actors, it was still very difficult to act without preamble.
Actresses were called into the audition room one after another. When they returned, they had different expressions. Some had red eyes and cried until they were out of breath, while others had calm expressions or disappointment. Few had smiles on their faces.
From the looks of it, most of their results weren’t ideal.
This raised the tension in the waiting room.
Mo Rao didn’t care about this. She just had to do her part well.
Lin Xia entered the audition room before Mo Rao. Mo Rao didn’t know how she performed inside, but when Lin Xia returned, her expression became even smugger.
“Sister Lin Xia, are you confident in winning the role?” A sidekick of Lin Xia flattered her.
“I don’t know. Everyone’s performance is very impressive. I’m not sure if I can do it, but from the judges’ expressions just now, I think I did well.” As Lin Xia spoke, she couldn’t help but glance at Mo Rao.
Mo Rao stood up expressionlessly and walked past Lin Xia. Then, she left the waiting room and went to the audition room.
However, the moment she walked in, she was stunned.
Other than Jia Li, the assistant director, the screenwriter, and the others, there was also someone she was very familiar with sitting at the judges’ table.
Fu Ying.
Why was he here?!
If he was here, wouldn’t it make people think that she relied on him to get the role?

Fu Ying sensed Mo Rao’s gaze and turned to look at her. He only took a glance before lowering his head to look at the notebook on the table, looking like a serious judge.
“Mo Rao, you can start when you’re ready.” Jia Li looked at Mo Rao expectantly.
Mo Rao nodded. Then, she ignored Fu Ying and didn’t let him affect her mentality. She began to summon her inner emotions as she stood in front of the judges.
Although this part of the plot wasn’t in the script, Mo Rao quickly found the emotional focus.
The emotions quickly overcame Mo Rao and her eyes were filled with tears. She knelt on the ground as she pretended to be holding her sister’s corpse in her hand. At first, she endured it, but in the end, she couldn’t hold back the grief in her heart and wailed while calling her sister’s name.
However, amidst her grief, Mo Rao didn’t forget her hatred. The emotions in her eyes switched freely between—incredulity, sadness, and hatred. All these mixed emotions affected the judges’ emotions as well.
This was the first time Fu Ying had seen Mo Rao act up close. Only then did he realize that Mo Rao had very raw talent. She was born to be an actress.
However, during the days she was with him, he had crushed Mo Rao’s limelight.
At that time, Mo Rao was just an obedient and docile woman. He was the only one in her world.
Now, Mo Rao was creating a world that belonged to her and was shining in her world.
