However, everything changed after Liu Manman stole the original owner’s role. When the latter came to question her about it, she no longer hid her malice and hatred towards her.
Yet, until her death, the original owner never knew why Liu Manman hated her so much.
—
Liu Manman gad to leave early in the morning and return home late at night every day, so she didn’t get many chances to meet with Chu Zheng until the crew told to join the set for filming.
Early in the morning, a car came to pick up Liu Manman and took her to the filming place.
As soon as she arrived, she directly went looking for the assistant director.
“Assistant director, I heard that our filming team has increased its investment, is it true?”
The assistant director nodded, “Yeah, why?”
“Who’s the new investor?” Liu Manman was curious about the person who suddenly invested a lot of money in their drama. When she asked, nearby people also perked up their ears in curiosity.
They had all heard about the increased investment by the crew, but so far, they still didn’t know who the investor was.
The assistant director’s lewd gaze swept over Liu Manman’s body and finally landed on her full breasts, smiling, “I don’t know who it is, it was the director himself who met him and settled the matter. He didn’t tell me even when I asked him about it, so he probably wants to keep it a mystery.”
“Oh ……”
–
The actors hired for this drama were either unknown or gone out of fashion.
As the opening ceremony began, Liu Manman heard someone discussing.
“Strange, why isn’t the second female lead here?”
“Ah, it seems like she isn’t here yet.”
“Wasn’t the second female lead that girl called Dong Xin who was popular for a while before?”
“She’s not even playing a big role yet she started on putting airs. Even the first female and the first male lead are here.”
Even after the crew had officially started filming, the second female lead still didn’t show up.
Liu Manman was very popular in the crew. Not only did she coax the assistant director, the staff also liked her.
After a few days of filming, Liu Manman bumped into Chu Zheng on set after she had just finished shooting a scene.
Liu Manman asked her in surprised: “Why are you here?”
Chu Zheng habitually put her hands in her pockets and coldly swept her eyes over her, “None of your business.”
“Heh.” Liu Manman sneered and wrapped her hands around her chest, she said sarcastically: “I said I’d give you a role before and you didn’t want it. The crew has already started filming, what’s the point of coming now?”
“A good dog doesn’t block the way.”
Liu Manman’s expression stiffened, and she instantly got angry, “You’re insulting me!” (TN: When you call someone a ‘dog thing’ it means bastard. In this context, she thought Chu Zheng was implicitly cursing at her.)
Chu Zheng seriously denied, “No.”
You want to get a dog title for yourself, why are you blaming me?
Don’t think that just because you look a little pretty you can blame anyone as you like!
Liu Manman frowned. Chu Zheng was clearly pointing fingers and scolding her …… But something seemed off about her.
In the past, Gu Chu Zheng acted noble and stubborn, but she never made her feel cold and uncomfortable as she does now.
“You have to get out of here.” Liu Manman got irritated and suddenly started pushing her, “We’re filming here, so don’t disturb us. Hurry up and leave!”
Chu Zheng pressed her fingers on her wrist and slightly twisted them around it, lightly tugging it towards her. Liu Manman was still trying to push her when she suddenly felt her body uncontrollably fall forward.
Liu Manman fell straight to the ground in complete confusion.
“Manman!”
A man instantly ran over and helped Liu Manman up.
“What’s going on here?” The assistant director held onto Liu Manman and asked in a distressed manner.
Liu Manman’s palms landed on the rough gravel and suffered some scratches, she winced in pain, “Assistant director, this person inexplicable attacked me.”
Chu Zheng had already withdrawn her hand and stuck it in her pocket, her eyes coldly watching them.
When his eyes landed on Chu Zheng, the assistant director’s heartbeat accelerated. He felt as if he was being stared down by something fearful and goose bumps rose all over his body.
“Aren’t you ……” The assistant director carefully looked at her and recognized who she was: “Gu …… Gu Chu Zheng?”
Liu Manman’s role was previously hers, and he was the reason she was replaced.
The assistant director suddenly reacted and pointed at her, indignantly accusing her: “The crew had already set the role, you are simply not suitable for this role. How can you come here to trouble Manman? Hurry up and apologize to her!”
“No way.” This bastard is dreaming!
