As the female actresses were gossiping, their words were overheard by Guan Meiyi.
“A woman like that is the worst. She’s putting her own interests first, and she doesn’t even care about her biological family. It’s alarming.”
“It’s no wonder she is able to write such an uninhibited plot. She’s cold-blooded!”
Guan Meiyi had finally had enough. She put her script down and said, “That’s enough. Is it really that interesting to gossip about others?”
Everyone was surprised that Guan Meiyi, who had always been silent, had spoken up. At first they were so shocked they didn’t say anything. Then they reacted and looked at her sternly. “Oh, we are simply gossiping about Ling Tianya. Why are you getting angry?
“Exactly!”
“Did you guys forget? Ms. Guan and Ling Tianya are cousins. In the past, they both fell for the same man. However, Ms. Guan didn’t have any luck, and she wasn’t able to defeat Ling Tianya in the battle for his affections.”
“Right, right. Everyone initially believed that Ms. Guan would become Mrs. Ruan and now, Ling Tianya has that position.”
Guan Meiyi’s face turned ashen. “That is all in the past. Do you guys have nothing better to do than gossip?”
Hearing Guan Meiyi’s words, the actresses were p*ssed. “Guan Meiyi. You have no right to lecture us. Why don’t you take a look at your own status? Do you still believe that you are Zhi Ya Entertainment’s pillar, the empress of our film? Save it!”
“Exactly. You are not satisfied even now you are married, so you have come to fight over roles with us young people. Why don’t you consider your age? Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Guan Meiyi’s face reddened from the humiliation. She was not as young as these new stars, but she was not old either. She was only 28!
“You guys…..” Guan Meiyi was not accustomed to arguing. Before, whenever she got angry, no one dared to argue with her. Li Fei always resolved everything for her and she didn’t need to say anything herself. Therefore, now that she was being humiliated by the younger generation, she was unable to find a way to retort.
“What are you guys doing?” Director Fu shouted, annoyed. The actresses immediately began looking as if they had been wronged as they looked at Director Fu. “Director Fu! Sister Meiyi is bullying us!”
Director Fu was a lecher, and he liked young, beautiful maidens. Seeing the Loiltas acting coquettishly towards him, he glared at Guan Meiyi. “I can see that you have no special ability, yet you are very good at bullying others!”
Guan Meiyi bit her lip and did not respond.
“What are you waiting for? It’s your scene!” Director Fu glared at Guan Meiyi before turning around to leave.
Guan Meiyi looked at the actresses, her face ashen. However, she didn’t say anything and followed Director Fu.
The actresses made faces behind her retreating figure. “Ms. Pan told us that we must take “good care” of Guan Meiyi.”
“Hehe. I think that we are taking very good “care” of her.”
The words “take care of” were deliberately ambiguous; everyone knew that Ms. Pan didn’t like Guan Meiyi and wanted to kick her out. She didn’t want her to have an easy time.
Guan Meiyi’s scene only needed with one take, and she returned to the site to rest. Yet, when she saw the actresses looking at her with hatred and ridicule, Guan Meiyi hesitated before she went to sit further away from them. From behind her drifted the sound of their mocking laughter. Guan Meiyi’s faced turned pale, and she felt helpless.
“Our Ms. Guan passed in one take. It seems that she is rather suited to act as a prostitute.”
“In the past, Ms. Guan was unable to act, yet now, she is so good at it. It seems like she really inherited the gene.”
Ling Qi’s situation had spread to every corner of the city. Guan Meiyi knew that these people were provoking her with that matter.
“You guys!” Guan Meiyi turned around to glare at them, obviously infuriated.
“Director Li, are all of the actresses in your crew of this caliber?” Suddenly, a lucid and elegant voice drifted from behind the actresses.
They turned around and saw Ling Tianya smiling at them mockingly. Beside her, with a cold face, stood the director of the film, Li Meihong.
