Chapter 197 - Is it That Exciting? (1/2)

Xu Beishen did not say anything but she quietly retreated to her own bedroom with her luggage in tow. She did not believe that the character and personality that Jiang Yuning had displayed on the show was her true personality. She believed all celebrities to be selfish and that Jiang Yuning was merely putting on an act. She felt that it was even more unbelievable because Jiang Yuning could talk ruthlessly when she was all alone with her, but was as meek and humble as a sheep in front of others.

Was Lu Jingzhi also deceived by her appearance?

Xu Beishen had a lot of thoughts and struggles running through her mind. At this moment, she really could not accept the fact that Jiang Yuning was a more charming and pleasing person than she was.

In fact, the production team had even given her a new nickname, stating that even the dogs would dislike Xu Beishen.

The production team had finally discovered the two plain truths after filming one episode. Firstly, they discovered that Jiang Yuning was a really pleasant and likable person and secondly, they discovered what a horrible person Xu Beishen truly was.

Jiang Yuning was supposed to be the hated and blacklisted artiste and initially, the production team had expected her to cause them some trouble. However, in the end, Jiang Yuning was well liked and praised by the entire production team and crew.

On the other hand, the highly-educated Xu Beishen whom the production team initially had high expectations for gave the production crew such a big headache at the end of the day.

The production team was even contemplating implementing a rule to eliminate one of the groups so that they could just get rid of Xu Beishen immediately.

Otherwise, if she would suddenly decide to feed the sharks during the next episode, would the production crew have to follow her and risks their lives then?

This person was too selfish and wilful.

…

It was already late at night but the light in the bedroom on the second floor of the villa was still switched on.

Jiang Yuning was already sleeping soundly while Lu Jingzhi sat on the edge of the bed and carefully treated the wounds on Jiang Yuning’s hands.

She was an actress, a celebrity, but she did not seem to care about her own body at all. She had scars all over her body. Who would want to hire or cast her in any of their advertisements?

Lu Jingzhi felt his heart hurting and he was distressed upon seeing her swollen fingers and the wounds all over her hands. He squeezed her hand and held it for a long time, persuading himself to allow her to continue participating in .

Jiang Yuning felt as though there was something strange about her hand but she was so exhausted from the past two days that she simply muttered in her sleep. “Second brother…it itches. It itches.”

Lu Jingzhi patted her gently on her head before he stored the first aid kit and gently placed her hand back under the quilt. After that, Lu Jingzhi picked up her drama scripts before going through them diligently.

Sooner or later, Jiang Yuning would eventually force Lu Jingzhi to take up martial arts to protect her.

Lu Jingzhi put on his glasses as he read through the drama scripts under the dim light.

Although the quality of the drama was the most important criteria, it was also extremely important for Lu Jingzhi to see whether Jiang Yuning would be involved in any kissing or bed scenes if she took on the role.

If she would have to be involved in those scenes, then…

When Jiang Yuning woke up the next day, she saw that Lu Jingzhi had already left some of the scripts that he had chosen on top of her dressing table. Her eyes lit up immediately. Was there anything that second brother could not do?

Vera had passed her a total of eleven drama scripts from various different genres. Jiang Yuning had already glanced through all of the drama scripts and she especially like three of them, but could not make a final decision.

Coincidentally, the three scripts that she liked were also chosen by Lu Jingzhi.

It seemed as though she had already cultivated quite an incredible tacit understanding between second brother and herself.

When Vera arrived at the villa later that morning, she placed the three drama scripts in front of Vera before she asked, “Which drama do you think is the best out of these three dramas?”

There was an ancient drama among the three drama scripts but even though it would be a major production, the storyline is pretty similar to that of . Although Jiang Yuning would be able to take on the role of the second female lead, Vera believed that Jiang Yuning did not need to star in a similar ancient drama at the moment.

The second drama was a more modern and inspirational drama where Jiang Yuning would be playing the role of a policewoman. Although this kind of publicity was indeed very suitable for Jiang Yuning at the moment, Vera still felt that this was not the best choice for her.
