Chapter 395: Stuck Up
Chen Xiang’s words were too unpleasant. Tong Yue couldn’t stand it anymore and retorted on Mo Rao’s behalf, “Chen Xiang, don’t speak so harshly! Fu Ying was the one who let Mo Rao down first!”
“Tsk, so what? This doesn’t change the fact that Mo Rao is a divorced woman.” Chen Xiang said bluntly, “Besides, how do you know that Mo Rao didn’t do anything to let Fu Ying down? Tong Yue, you can’t listen to just one person’s one-sided story.”
“You!” Tong Yue wanted to retort, but Mo Rao stopped her.
Mo Rao didn’t know why Chen Xiang was so hostile to her, but she couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. She only said nonchalantly, “No one has stipulated that divorced women can’t enter the entertainment industry, right? Compared to me being divorced, the audience probably dislikes you acting stuck up even more.”
When she heard Mo Rao say this, Chen Xiang’s expression changed.
“How am I acting stuck up? It was clearly the hairstylist who was in the wrong first!” Chen Xiang hurriedly defended herself.
Mo Rao stood up and picked up the script. Before leaving the dressing room, she didn’t forget to say to Chen Xiang, “You’d better put on your makeup quickly. Be careful not to anger the director.”
With that, she left with Tong Yue.
Chen Xiang glared at Mo Rao’s back as she roared, “Mo Rao, just you wait!”
Facing Chen Xiang’s provocation, Mo Rao wasn’t fazed at all. She didn’t even stop.
At this moment, Jia Li was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.
Seeing Mo Rao and Tong Yue come over, Jia Li came over and asked, “Is that princess done with her makeup?”
“Not yet, and she was rude to Sister Mo Rao,” Tong Yue pursed her lips and said angrily.
Jia Li sighed helplessly. “Sigh, I don’t want to give the second female lead role to her, but Chen Xiang’s acting skills are not bad. Moreover, she has the Chen family backing her. The Chen family is also a big investor in the film and television industry. I can’t offend them.”
Mo Rao finally understood what Tong Yue had said to her.
Ever since Mo Rao entered the entertainment industry, things had been quite smooth-sailing for her. However, relying on one’s backer to get resources was common in the entertainment industry.
Chen Xiang was probably able to enter the production team of ‘Butterfly Fragrance’ because of the Chen family’s support.
“Just bear with it for now. If she goes too far, I’ll fire her.” Jia Li clearly didn’t like Chen Xiang.
Mo Rao didn’t mind, since she had experienced all kinds of ordeals. A woman like Chen Xiang, who had all her emotions written on her face, wasn’t that scary.
The male lead, Xiao Yan, and the second male lead, Peng Fei, were already preparing to start filming. When they saw Mo Rao, Xiao Yan greeted her gregariously, “Mo Rao, we meet again.”
Mo Rao smiled at Xiao Yan amiably. Tong Yue, who was standing beside Mo Rao, lowered her eyes and felt a little embarrassed.
“You’re Tong Yue, right?” Before Tong Yue could take the initiative to greet him, Xiao Yan greeted her first.
Tong Yue didn’t expect Xiao Yan to know her. Her face blushed as she nodded and said, “That’s right, it’s me! I didn’t expect you to know me.”
Xiao Yan looked at Tong Yue with admiration and said, “I’ve seen your acting before. Although you were a small character, you performed very well. Good luck. I think highly of you.”
Tong Yue was overjoyed to receive Xiao Yan’s praise.
She thought that she was a nobody in the entertainment industry, but she didn’t expect to be praised by an outstanding senior like Xiao Yan.
“Thank you, Senior!” Tong Yue bowed to Xiao Yan and said sincerely, “I like you very much too! I’ve watched the movies and dramas you acted in many times and you gave me a lot of inspiration!”
As Mo Rao watched Tong Yue and Xiao Yan’s interaction, she realized Tong Yue’s feelings for Xiao Yan.
She could tell from the look in Tong Yue’s eyes that she liked Xiao Yan. Even if Tong Yue didn’t say it, Mo Rao knew.
Compared to them, Peng Fei, who was playing the second male lead, was obviously much less talkative.
He only watched and smiled from the side, like a shy boy.
The filming of the movie hadn’t officially started yet, so the four of them chatted at the side and laughter sounded from time to time.
“Why don’t we film the first scene first?” Jia Li was getting impatient from waiting and decided to ignore Chen Xiang for now.
Mo Rao and Xiao Yan agreed. Jia Li immediately got all the workers to prepare and started filming the scene of the female lead and male lead meeting.
