Chapter 29

Anger You to Death

Not long after Lu Zhen returned to the hotel, Wu Yu called. Lu Zhen didn’t answer, so she kept calling.

“How annoying. Can’t she let you rest?!” Sun Xiao gritted her teeth and turned to Lu Zhen. “Zhenzhen, do you want me to turn off your phone?”

Lu Zhen smiled. “No. Let her call. Order food delivery first. I’m going to take a shower. We’ll talk after eating.”

By the time Lu Zhen and Sun Xiao finished eating, Wu Yu had made more than 50 calls. Lu Zhen slowly wiped the corners of her mouth, then calmly picked up her phone and answered the call.

“Lu Zhen! Why aren’t you answering your phone? Do you know how long I’ve been calling? What have you been doing? Where are you now? Tell me quickly!” Wu Yu sounded anxious and angry.

“I’m ready to rest.” Lu Zhen looked at the clock. “It’s after ten. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. I have an advertisement tomorrow and I need to rest. If I’m not in the best of spirits by then and something goes wrong…” Lu Zhen smiled coldly.

Wu Yu didn’t expect Lu to really dare to threaten her! She was the one who refused to answer her calls, but now, she was saying that she was disturbing her rest!

In the past, Lu Zhen wasn’t like this. Even if she went to film with the production team, if Wu Yu asked where she lived, she would answer honestly, unlike now. They couldn’t even see her every day!

Now, she didn’t even pick up the phone. How outrageous!

“I’m not going to waste my breath on you. The press conference is in a few days. I’m afraid you won’t know what to say when the time comes. I’ve already written the script for you. Remember to look at it when it’s sent to your phone. Don’t say anything wrong when the time comes, do you hear me?!” After Wu Yu instructed her, she asked fiercely, “I heard from your sister that her scenes were changed today. Does this have anything to do with you? Did you say something to the director?”

Lu Zhen was lying on the bed. Sun Xiao brought over a facial mask given by a brand. She tore open the packet and applied the mask on her face. Then, she applied hand cream on her. Her movements were gentle and soothing. Lu Zhen closed her eyes in satisfaction and was about to fall asleep.

Wu Yu had been talking for a long time, but Lu Zhen actually ignored her. She couldn’t help but feel exasperated. “Lu Zhen, are you listening to me? Don’t pretend to be dead!”

Lu Zhen yawned. “Got it.” Her tone couldn’t have been more patronizing. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the past, Lu Zhen had always listened to Wu Yu. When had she ever had such an attitude? Wu Yu sounded like she was enraged, but Lu Zhen didn’t argue with her. The resentment in her heart made her feel like she was hitting a ball of cotton, suffocating her with rage.

“And about your sister, did you hear what I said? Tomorrow, get the director to change her scenes back and give her two more scenes. Your sister is a supporting character to begin with. Bring her around to show her face more often. Don’t steal her limelight when you act with her…” Wu Yu continued to mutter.

Lu Zhen was amused. “I’m not the director. What’s the point of telling me that? You might as well treat the director to more meals.”

“Lu Zhen! You’ve gotten too big for your britches, haven’t you? Now, you don’t even listen to me when I talk to you? Think about it. Without the company to help you, where would you get so many resources? We fought for this female lead role for you. You can’t be so ungrateful! Your sister is in the same cast as you. Shouldn’t you take more care of her? Now, she needs a chance. As her sister, you have to help her more!”

“Oh.” As if she’d heard her, or perhaps not, Lu Zhen yawned and said, “I’ll hang up, then.”

“Lu Zhen, who told you to hang up the phone? I’m not done yet. Did you hear everything I said…” Before Wu Yu could speak, the phone call was hung up. Wu Yu’s voice stopped abruptly.

Sun Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled. Then, she looked at Lu Zhen and said in confusion, “Zhenzhen, the director made you play the female lead because you’re good at acting and fit the role. Netizens are also calling for you to play this role. She’s too shameless. How does this have anything to do with her? Why did you listen to her for so long? Just don’t answer the phone. Or I’ll answer the phone for you next time so that she won’t bother you.”

Lu Zhen patted Sun Xiao’s head. Seeing how angry the little girl was, she smiled and said, “It’s just a phone call. Besides, she’s been talking for so long and I haven’t agreed to a single condition. Don’t you think she’ll be so angry that she won’t be able to sleep tonight?”
