Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 318 - Returning The Favor (3)

Once her phone call with Lu Qingfeng ended and her mood finally brightened up once again, Su Xiaofei noticed that the Zhang sisters had returned. It seemed like they had sensed her foul mood earlier and decided to leave to give her some privacy to calm down, which Su Xiaofei greatly appreciated.

These two sisters had been with her for over five years now, and they had learned to understand her needs without her mentioning them.

Zhang Ling would be the one to make sure that she wasn't late for her appointments and had been a great help to her when she started working at Bluemedia. Meanwhile, the elder Zhang sister, Zhang Lan, had been patient with her, helping her to train her body by sparring with her from time to time.

It was a pity that she couldn't give these two a break, considering how jam packed her schedule was recently. Su Xiaofei wouldn't mind allowing them to take a vacation anytime soon if she could give them one.

"Miss Su, I've already coordinated with the staff. Miss Tang is expected to be there at seven in the morning for her photoshoot, while Miss Bai is scheduled to have hers in the afternoon." Zhang Ling reported, but there was a slight frown etched on her face that told Su Xiaofei that the younger Zhang wasn't pleased with the details she received earlier.

"What's wrong, Zhang Ling? You seem upset about something?" Su Xiaofei asked as she cupped her chin, allowing some strands of her long hair to flow down her shoulders.

"I just think that this is unfair for Miss Tang." Zhang Ling replied, her voice had a hint of annoyance in it. "They should have known how freezing cold it is these days, especially in the mornings. I've seen the clothes Miss Tang would have to use and I can tell you, Miss Su, even your nightdresses are thicker."

Su Xiaofei wasn't surprised to hear this. Since Bai Qingyue had been the face of Bellissima for so many years, it was only natural that Luo Cheng could use it to their advantage. They probably requested that Bai Qingyue should shoot her photos in the afternoon and force the staff to work with Tang Liyan instead.

Given that it would be the first time they would be working with Tang Liyan, any mistake she made would only be used against her and she would be compared to the more professional Bai Qingyue later.

"Miss Su, do they think they could bully Tang Liyan like this? I really think it's unfair that she's being used to make Bai Qingyue standout." Zhang Ling continued.

"Ah, Zhang Ling. Don't you find it funny? You think that Bai Qingyue's team is purposely doing this to make her standout and yet, her manager is claiming that we are here to use Bai Qingyue as Miss Tang's stepping stone instead."

Zhang Ling scoffed and saw her sister from the corner of her eye, going to the kitchen to check for tea or coffee she could brew. Unlike her, Zhang Lan didn't have an interest in gossip and schemes people had around them.

Zhang Lan would rather focus on her work and make sure that her body was in the best condition to be able to protect Su Xiaofei from any harm.

"They must have thought that Bai Qingyue is a goddess and everyone should kiss the path she walked on. Ridiculous. She and Miss Tang already have the same status as a queen. Shouldn't this be enough reason to deny their allegations?" She muttered under her breath.

Since she was the one helping Su Xiaofei with the contracts and job offers her talents were receiving, Zhang Ling obviously saw the initial offer Bellissima presented to Bluemedia for this collaboration.

Su Xiaofei understood why Zhang Ling was irritated, and she had no doubt that Tang Liyan might be upset with it as well, albeit, she was keeping these thoughts to herself, knowing that she was in no position to complain.

Also, while it's true that Tang Liyan had a status of a queen due to her magnificent performance in acting, she didn't have as many endorsements as Bai Qingyue, who obviously had more experience than her.

"I doubt that I would be able to sway Bellissima and the rest of the staff to delay Miss Tang's photoshoot. It would only look like we are giving them a hard time this early, and she's being a prima donna." She told Zhang Ling.

When she saw the itinerary, she had already suspected that something was up. Since Zhang Ling took the initiative to check the venue of the photoshoot, it was normal that she had picked up something along the way. Perhaps, Zhang Ling had read the atmosphere and connected the dots herself. With the unfavorable weather, the crew should have considered Tang Liyan and Bai Qingyue's welfare before the shoot.

"Does this mean that we couldn't do anything to help Miss Tang?" Zhang Ling asked, but as she looked at Su Xiaofei's face, she understood that they could only proceed with the scheduled shoot without causing trouble.

If only they could request for Tang Liyan's photoshoot to be moved to the next afternoon, it would have been better. However, what Su Xiaofei said was right. Everyone's eyes would be on Tang Liyan, waiting for her to make a small mistake before they pounced on her.

If Tang Liyan complained now, Su Xiaofei would have to get involved and mediate between Tang Liyan and the photoshoot crew later. There was also no assurance that this issue wouldn't get out of hand and reach the media.

"It's no point to argue with them now, but Zhang Ling, you should know that whenever someone dared to offend us, we always made sure to return the favor a hundredfold. Also, we should trust Miss Tang. I'm pretty sure this won't be the first time she encountered something like this.. She would know how to deal with it."
