Chapter 250 I Was Counter-Taken by the Male Lead (38)
The rain fell all night, only gradually stopping when the sky began to lighten.
The early spring weather was still a bit chilly. Jiang Rou hadn't slept well the night before and had spent the whole day in bed. Xie Nan, ignoring the cold stares of others, smiled obsequiously and busied himself around her.
When Xie Nan came to visit the set, the director gave Jiang Rou a three-day holiday. Jiang Rou didn't leave the hotel until the third day, while Xie Nan was kicked out of the hotel early in the morning.
These days she has also come to a conclusion: men's words are the least trustworthy. Xie Nan is usually such a gentle and refined person, but he is like a different person in bed, and he can say anything to coax her out of her.
Jiang Rou has a good personality and is very popular on set. Don't say anything like "jealousy." When someone's appearance and abilities are beyond your reach, you can only feel admiration for them.
The atmosphere on set was great, filled with laughter every day. The reluctance to part ways was even stronger when filming wrapped up, and many people had tears in their eyes.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Jiang Rou turned around and saw the male actor who was co-starring with her. The male actor's name was Jiang Yu. He was an idol and had a clean-cut appearance, giving off a campus heartthrob vibe.
Seeing the affection in his eyes, Jiang Rou's expression softened even more. She was a year older than Jiang Yu and usually acted as a gentle older sister in front of him.
"Happy wrap-up, Xiaoyu."
Hearing her gentle voice, Jiang Yu's eyes welled up with tears, the corners of her eyes reddened, and her voice was pitiful:
"Sister, you must never forget me."
He shares the same surname as Jiang Rou, and he usually follows Jiang Rou around calling her "sister." People in the crew even joke that their names sound like siblings, which Jiang Yu would vehemently refute.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou smiled even more gently, nodded slightly, and then said to Jiang Yu:
"Won't you give me a hug?"
Jiang Yu's eyes lit up instantly, and then she stepped forward and hugged Jiang Rou tightly. Smelling the fragrance on Jiang Rou's body, Jiang Yu's heart was pounding.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Jiang Rou went out and got into the nanny car. In the car, Xiao Yu handed her a glass of water and then talked about the upcoming itinerary.
Suddenly a figure flashed past the window.
Jiang Rou raised an eyebrow. Why was Xu Xi here?
Xu Xi was a member of a girl group in her previous life. After accumulating a certain number of fans, she gradually got involved in acting. With fans willing to pay, there was naturally a market for her. After a drama became a hit, she began her journey to becoming a film queen.
In this life, Xu Xi didn't rely on her girl group background but went straight into the entertainment industry. With the Meng family as her backer, she no longer had the ease and confidence she gained from her previous life's struggles. She was still the same Miss Xu who would use cold violence against the whole world when she was unhappy.
Before Xu Xi, Hua Shang also had many first- and second-tier celebrities. It was a case of too many monks and too few porridges. Before that, many people fought tooth and nail for a little bit of resources.
Now that Xu Xi has arrived, those people haven't even seen a bowl of porridge, let alone any porridge. How could Xu Xi possibly be well-received?
Hearing their sarcastic remarks, Xu Xi felt distressed. She desperately wanted to prove her own abilities, not because of the Meng family.
So he started filming one project after another, and for a while he didn't have time to look for Jiang Rou and Xie Nan.
The Xu Xi that Jiang Rou saw was also dressed in a costume, followed by several assistants carrying a lot of things, making her look like a princess traveling.
Xiao Yu didn't recognize Xu Xi and was somewhat taken aback by her demeanor; she had more people than her mother brought when she went shopping.
Jiang Rou looked at her expression, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. She considered herself not a good person, so how could she have happened to help someone who was trapped on a rainy day?
In her previous life, Xiao Yu was Xu Xi's assistant. Even after the Meng family fell from power, no one dared to touch Xu Xi, and Xiao Yu played a significant role in this.
As if sensing something, Xu Xi suddenly stopped and turned to look at the RV with its doors and windows tightly closed. The RV was covered with privacy film, so the inside could not be seen at all.
Although it was only the beginning of summer, it was extremely hot today. Xu Xi was wearing several layers of costumes, and the airtight clothing made her sweat profusely. Her freshly applied makeup was already showing signs of fading.
Thinking about her current difficult situation, Xu Xi couldn't help but feel wronged. She resented Meng's parents. Didn't they say they would support her? Why didn't they prepare everything for her?
She was so engrossed in her own world that she didn't notice how unpleasant the expressions on the faces of her assistants were.
A junior assistant held an umbrella for her with one hand and a small fan in the other, maintaining the same position for a long time, until her hand started to feel sore and weak.
The group exchanged glances, noticing the impatience in each other's eyes. What was this young lady up to now? Did she really think of them as her servants?
What is Xu Xi doing? She is thinking about high school again, when she first met Xie Nan.
At that time, in order to escape the constraints of her family, she went to high school in another province by herself, wanting to prove that she could live well without spending her family's money. She usually did not eat breakfast in the morning.
One day, because she hadn't eaten breakfast, her stomach hurt terribly, and she couldn't concentrate on studying at all, so she just lay slumped over her desk.
Until a break between classes…
Xie Nan, the class monitor, was responsible for collecting homework. Xu Xi was the only one in the class who hadn't handed in her homework. When Xie Nan came to ask her about it, she noticed her unusual expression.
Xie Nan casually placed an extra piece of bread from her desk drawer on her desk and asked her deskmate to take her to the infirmary.
Xu Xi felt she still remembered the soft texture of that bread.
Xie Nan is such a cold and aloof person, yet he gave her his bread and took the initiative to care about her health. How could he not like her?
Thinking of Jiang Rou's figure, Xu Xi felt a surge of hatred in her heart; no one could take Xie Nan away from her.
She knew about Jiang Rou's entry into the entertainment industry. Xu Xi's persistence in joining the crew was also meant to surpass Jiang Rou. When that time came, she would definitely tear off Jiang Rou's mask herself.
As she was thinking this, a cool breeze suddenly swept by, and Xu Xi looked up and saw Jiang Rou, whom she was cursing in her heart, sitting in the RV she had just been looking at.
Jiang Rou met Xu Xi's gaze, smiled at her, and her clear almond-shaped eyes were filled with provocation, silently saying to Xu Xi: Fool.
The assistants, basking in the sun, didn't notice Jiang Rou's actions. However, a cool breeze blew as the RV drove by, making them look at its silhouette with envy.
Xu Xi, the person involved, was shocked and then furious. She thought, "That despicable woman! I knew she was two-faced!" Xu Xi was even more certain that Xie Nan had been deceived by Jiang Rou.
Xu Xi, unable to vent her anger at Jiang Rou's provocation, turned around and saw several assistants with their heads down. She then unleashed her full power on them.
This scene was captured by a paparazzi who was stationed there, and then posted it online with an exaggerated headline.
Thanks to this paparazzi, Xu Xi gained some popularity; after all, being famous for something you're not famous for is still fame.
