This was great. They had completely offended CEO Xiang.
But Sister He was angry and didn’t know how Li Yue had become like this recently.
When Li Lu had left the entertainment industry, although she was a little angry, she wouldn’t have rejected the collaboration with the advertisers for no reason.
But ever since she went home for the New Year, Li Yue had changed. The things she did were also confusing.
Li Yue returned to the dining table and realized that only Xu Ye was left.
She looked around and did not see Jiang Yu and Yuan Lai. Even their manager was gone. “Where are Jiang Yu and Yuan Lai?”
Xu Ye sat in his seat and drank alone. “They went back. Not long after you left to answer the phone, the two of them went back.”
“Why didn’t you go back with them?” Li Yue was a little curious.
After all, Li Lu had told herself that Xu Ye had tried his best to curry favor with Jiang Yu. So now that Jiang Yu had gone back, even if Xu Ye didn’t send her back, he probably wouldn’t continue to stay here.
But he actually stayed here, which made Li Yue feel a little strange.
Xu Ye drank a mouthful of wine. “Why should I go back with them? She would rather let a young lad send her back than let me send her back.”
Li Yue couldn’t help but laugh, “Yuan Lai doesn’t have any excessive thoughts towards Jiang Yu. He just treats her as a friend. What about you? Do you treat Jiang Yu as a friend? Whether you really like her or just use her, your intentions aren’t pure.”
Li Yue saw through her thoughts so Xu Ye wasn’t angry. After taking a sip of wine, he said slowly, “This has nothing to do with you. You are so ambitious, yet you are willing to accept the role of the second female lead in this movie. Do you think I don’t know what you are planning? Li Yue, at this point in time, do you still hate Jiang Yu or have fantasies about Mo Long?”
Li Yue paused and smiled. “What about you? Don’t you also have unrealistic fantasies about Jiang Yu?”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Li Yue poured herself a glass of wine and clinked glasses with Xu Ye.
The next day was the start of the new show. The weather was a little cloudy and it looked like it was going to rain soon.
Director Chen wanted to save time, so he arranged for the scenes to be shot in the rain to be shot today. It was the scene where Jiang Yu and Li Yue were acting together and they needed to shoot outside.
Whereas Xu Ye and Yuan Lai’s scene was shot indoors, but they needed props.
Compared to Xu Ye and Yuan Lai’s scene, Director Chen actually valued Jiang Yu and Li Yue’s scene more.
After all, this was the scene of two generations of movie queens. Some people wouldn’t be able to see it even if they wanted to!
“Jiang Yu, I’ll have to rely on you to bring me along for the scene later.” Li Yue walked to Jiang Yu’s side and whispered with a smile.
“You’re too kind. You should be the one to take care of me.” Jiang Yu’s tone was emotionless. She spoke to Li Yue as if she was a stranger.
The weather today was also rather cool. It started to rain in a few minutes.
Li Yue’s second female lead was accused of stealing in the mall and was pushed out by the security guards. When Jiang Yu’s female lead saw this scene, she thought of her past self through the second female lead’s shadow. She gave her umbrella to the second female lead to block the rain while she went home in the rain.
All the machines were ready when Director Chen said, “Begin –”
Li Yue instantly fell into character.
“Let go of me! I didn’t steal anything!” Li Yue struggled and even the blue veins on her neck could be seen clearly.
Director Chen was very satisfied with Li Yue’s performance and couldn’t help but nod.
“You’re framing a good person! If I call the police, all of you will be arrested!” Li Yue was still shouting at the top of her lungs and at this moment, it was Jiang Yu’s turn to go on stage.
She held a sky-blue umbrella and stood not far away as she watched the girl being pushed by the security guards. It was as if she could see through her and see herself being looked down upon by others.
She walked over and passed the umbrella in her hand to Li Yue. She smiled and said, “Let’s go. Don’t catch a cold.”
Li Yue held the umbrella and stared blankly at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu turned around and walked into the rain. The bean-sized raindrops fell on her body and it was cold and painful.
She was still trying to gather her emotions when she suddenly heard someone behind her cry out in pain, “Aiya, it hurts!”
Jiang Yu turned around and saw that Li Yue had accidentally twisted her ankle when she was walking down the stairs.
A group of people ran over to ask about her injuries. Jiang Yu knew that she couldn’t film for the time being so she found a place to hide from the rain.
Li Yue was surrounded by the crowd. She peeked at Jiang Yu through the gap.
She said perfunctorily to the people who were concerned about her injuries, “It’s alright, don’t worry about me.”
