Chapter 64: A Hidden Secret
He was supposed to act as a guest actor for a week. Why had he returned halfway?
Could he have returned to beat her up and bring her back home from the banquet?
What exactly had happened between her, Huo Ci, and Jun Shiyan yesterday?
She tried her best to remember but to no avail.
She remembered her last memory of Jun Shiyan.
Then, her whole body heated up as though she was having a fever.
Jun Shiyan had found her a doctor, and she had fallen asleep after the injection.
Su Xiyin was taking care of Xiao Qi at home while also cooking and cleaning the house.
Ling Sheng was over the moon.
As far as filming was concerned, her scenes would be ending in less than a week.
Mei Xuelin made use of her subordinates’ relationship and connections to inform her that she had gotten her a variety show. She told her to return to the company after work to inform her of her concerns.
The person she disliked the most but had to deal with was supporting actress Shang Jiaren.
Since they were colleagues, it would not be good to shed all pretense of cordiality. After all, they were in the same industry. They had to have some kind of face-off.
Gu Shen and Luo Xin, who were the male and female lead, were proud. They pretended not to see her and never had a good attitude around her.
Ling Sheng, who had just finished filming a scene with Luo Xin and Gu Shen, was playing games on her phone in the dressing room.
Shang Jiaren spoke to her, saying how bad her company was and how many resources she had.
After working hard for so many years, her only female leading role was in a web drama.
“Sheng Sheng, did you tell your boss what I told you?” Shang Jiaren probed.
“What do you mean?” Ling Sheng pretended not to understand and focused on the game without raising her head.
“What else can I do? I want to join Huo Ci’s Studio. Didn’t you say you would recommend me? Have you forgotten?” Shang Jiaren’s eyes were dark, she had a smile on her face, and her heart seemed about to blow up.
This happened every single time. She was obviously a young slut, but she did not know where she had learned a set of Taiji Fists. Every single time, her answer was flawless.
“I’m just a low-list celebrity who signed a contract with a company. Sister Jiaren, don’t make things difficult for me.” Ling Sheng had a bitter expression on her face and looked annoyed to death.
That was a problem she faced every day.
Even if she could help, she would not help someone like her.
“Sheng Sheng, we’ve known each other for a long time. I’ve always treated you like my biological sister by taking care of you. Do you not consider me a friend? Don’t I look good or have decent acting skills? Why don’t you recommend me?” Shang Jiaren pretended to be angry.
Ever since she had found out she was an artist managed by Mei Xuelin of the Huo Studio, she had been begging her every day, almost kneeling down to plead with her.
However, she had not expected this little village slut to be so heartless. She did not even want to help out. She was wasting her time by trying to please her.
“Sister Jiaren, what are you talking about? Even if you were my biological sister, I wouldn’t dare to do that. It’s not like you don’t know Sister Mei’s temper. I’m usually too scared to talk to her. As for Big Boss, I’ve never seen him before.” Ling Sheng sighed, showing that she could not do anything about this.
“Sheng Sheng, I know...”
Ling Sheng’s cell phone rang suddenly with a call from Su Xiyin. Crying, she told her Xiao Qi was at the hospital and asked if she was too busy to make a trip there quickly.
Ling Sheng’s face changed instantly, and she stood up and ran.
Her scene would probably be filmed in four to five hours. She could make a trip to the hospital in the meantime if she informed the director and left in a hurry.
As she looked at her back view, Shang Jiaren’s eyes were full of resentment. Without asking the director for leave, she followed her.
There had to be something amiss if she was leaving in such a hurry. If she followed her, she might discover her unspeakable secret.
