“Dad, guess who was sitting next to me on the pirate ship?”

“No,” Tang Yichen said. “It wasn’t me, anyway.”

Tang Yichen scratched his nose. He and his son had sat in two different rows. They were not together on the ride.

“It was Cherry Baby!” Tang Feimo said.

“Who? Cherry Baby?!”

When Tang Yichen finally realized, he let out a squeal, “Oh my god! Is it true? Why didn’t you call me just now! I didn’t get to see her!” He sighed. “Son, you’re so selfish. I wish you had taken me to see her.”

Tang Yichen was stamping his feet in disappointment that he had missed a chance to see Cherry Baby.

Tang Feimo watched his father go mad and laughed out loud at him. No way would he have told his father!

Cherry Baby could only be his princess.

Ha! I hope I can see Cherry Baby again!

Meanwhile at the “Red Sleeved Beauty” set, in the Peijing Eastern Suburb Film and Television Studios, the afternoon shoot was beginning for scenes with Xu Xinrou and Qi Liya.

As a close servant to the Lady Meng Jinxin, Yao Yue, Xu Xiyan had to be present at Xu Xinrou’s side as long she was at the shoot.

As long as Xu Xinrou was in a scene, Xu Xiyan had to come for the shoot.

Since Xu Xinrou had learned of Xu Xiyan’s secrets, she did not try to cause any more trouble for her. Even when Xu Xinrou was waiting for her turn to act and had some idle time, she left Xu Xiyan alone.

Although she did not go looking for trouble, it did not mean that she didn’t have grudges against Xu Xiyan. On the contrary, Xu Xinrou hated her very much.

Why was her family’s business depending on a mongrel like her?

Was she really worse than Xu Xiyan?

She was already a popular star and Xu Xiyan was still a nobody.

Xu Xiyan was only a prop beside her!

While Xu Xinrou was having a make-up artist touch-up her makeup, her assistant Wen Li came in with a few people behind her, carrying boxes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wen Li ordered them to put the boxes down, then went over to Xu Xinrou and reported to her. “Xinrou, President Chu sent some staff members here to deliver afternoon tea and snacks. He said they’re for the crew.”

Xu Xinrou took a glance at the boxes, then said to Wen Li, “Distribute them to the crew!”

“Okay!”

Wen Li began to distribute the food. Everyone in the crew received tea and some snacks, but Xu Xiyan did not receive any.

Wen Li shook the empty box, snickering. “Oh, I’m so sorry, Jing Xi. Everyone got their share but there are no more left for you.”

“It’s okay. I didn’t want it anyway.”

Xu Xiyan shot Wen Li a cold look. She knew that this was all Xu Xinrou’s deliberate act. She did it because she wanted to discriminate against her within the crew.

Those who had taken Xu Xinrou’s tea and snacks began to praise her.

These people were all fickle bandwagoners. They would suck up to whoever was winning.

They were aware that Xu Xinrou and Xu Xiyan were on bad terms since last week because of the third scene’s unscripted slapping incident. Xu Xinrou was more famous, so they naturally sucked up to her and helped her disparage Xu Xiyan.

Zhao Ruiqi, a girl who also played a palace maiden in the drama said, “Miss Xinrou’s boyfriend is so thoughtful for sending food and refreshments to the set.”

Another girl named Guan Xiaoling answered, “Yes! Miss Xinrou is not only an excellent actress, but she is also beautiful and has a good boyfriend in President Chu. I’m so envious!”

Zhao Ruiqi spoke again. “If I had such a great boyfriend like President Chu, I would not bother to work at this exhausting acting gig. But Miss Xinrou is different; she would rely on her own efforts instead of her boyfriend’s status to work her way up, unlike those who try to exploit their way into the cast.”

“Well, at least those who exploit their way in prove that they have the looks,” replied Guan Xiaoling. “Unlike us...we’re not even pretty. Nobody would bother looking at us even if we begged them to.”
