The director knew Huo Cheng's identity, so Gu Sisi didn't refute. But when asked other things, Gu Sisi really didn't know.
Seeing that Gu Sisi wasn't pretending, the director's enthusiasm gradually faded. Slowly, Gu Sisi returned to her previous rhythm of life. Every day, she threw herself into work with full enthusiasm and then spent some energy avoiding Wen Meiling.
Gu Sisi didn't know that Wen Meiling had already spotted her. One day, when the shooting was already on the right track, Wen Meiling threw the script on the ground again.
With a look of disgust on her face, she said, "What a lousy script!"
It was the break time during the shooting. The staff around were making preparations. Some people looked over. Yingzi, who was standing beside Wen Meiling, quickly picked up the script on the ground and whispered, "Miss, it's better for us to voice our opinions privately!"
Yingzi's face was full of embarrassment. Wen Meiling sneered at Yingzi who was holding the script, snatched it out of her hand and threw it on the ground again.
"The script is no good! Can't I even say that?" she said angrily.
Today she came here specifically to cause trouble. She couldn't stand seeing Gu Sisi thriving on the set. That woman just had such means. Maybe that's how Huo Cheng was deceived by her.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She couldn't wait to expose Gu Sisi's true face right now. But was this little girl crazy? She even tried to stop her. She probably didn't know her own place. Wen Meiling glared at her fiercely.
Yingzi also realized that she had meddled in other people's business. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Wen Meiling, and cried, "I'm sorry, Miss Wen. I was wrong."
"Humph! Birds of a feather," Wen Meiling said. She was annoyed by this kind of aggrieved person. She folded her arms and rolled her eyes.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the staff had no choice but to inform the director and other responsible persons. When they came in, they saw this scene.
"What's going on this time?" the director walked forward. The assistant director followed closely behind, and the other main staff members were behind them. Even the two lead actors were among them. They had just had a temporary meeting. It had only been a dozen minutes, but who would have thought that an accident would happen.
Gu Sisi had originally followed Sister Juan to see what was going on. As soon as she saw that the central figure in this incident was Wen Meiling, she subconsciously dodged. As a result, she found that Wen Meiling was staring intently at her. And how should she put it? That look in her eyes was as if she wanted to devour Gu Sisi alive.
This was definitely not an illusion. Gu Sisi was absolutely certain in her heart. Oh no, this woman must have seen her.
Wen Meiling withdrew her gaze. Her slender and fair fingers pointed at the script on the ground and said, "What else? This script is too rubbish. I really can't act in it anymore."
There was another gasp from the people around. Huang Fangjuan had a high status in the screenwriting circle. The director had only managed to invite her because they were classmates. How could this little actress say such a thing?
Proudly looking at the commotion she had caused, Wen Meiling was very excited. She thought that this time the director would definitely side with her. Then she could just say a few words, and Gu Sisi would definitely not be able to stay any longer.
"Maybe there's some misunderstanding!" Ouyang Xin walked out from the crowd. He wanted to ease the tense atmosphere like a good Samaritan.
Why was there always someone trying to stop her plan again and again? Wen Meiling was extremely angry. Before Ouyang Xin could reach her, she said, "There's no misunderstanding. The script is just bad. It's the screenwriter's incompetence." Wen Meiling made a final decision, leaving no room for compromise.
"Then tell me what's wrong with it?" Hearing someone slandering her like this, Huang Fangjuan, who had been full of anger, suddenly calmed down. She pulled the director, who was about to speak, behind her.
Wen Meiling's mind went blank for a moment. She hadn't even read the script carefully just now. How could she come up with a reason?
"The plot is unreasonable," she insisted.
"Where is it unreasonable?" The woman in front of her was pressing hard.
Wen Meiling's face flushed a little. She suspected that this woman was just making excuses for Gu Sisi and wouldn't allow anyone to say anything bad about her.
"Can't you see for yourself?" Wen Meiling started to show her temper.
"Humph, I think you're just looking for trouble on purpose! What's your intention?" Seeing that Wen Meiling couldn't give a reasonable answer, Huang Fangjuan was completely angry. She had been in the industry for about twenty years and had never met anyone who could cause trouble for her. Now this little girl was even more "arrogant" than those people.
Seeing that the woman was still pressing her, Wen Meiling picked up the script on the ground. At a glance, she found a place, pointed at it and said, "Here. I think it's particularly unreasonable!"
She said it even more angrily, mustering up her momentum. Let's see who was afraid of whom!
Huang Fangjuan didn't even look at it. She smiled and raised her eyebrows at the crowd, "Show it to them and see if it's really unreasonable."
Wen Meiling rolled her eyes. This was even better. The more people who agreed with her, the more embarrassed Gu Sisi would be. She couldn't possibly lose to a mere screenwriter.
"Okay!" She nodded and walked into the crowd with the script, pointing at that passage. However, those people didn't even look at it. They all avoided her gaze. Even when she got close, they evaded her.
Before she could even reach Gu Sisi, she already sensed something was wrong. Pointing at them, she said in disbelief, "You're all in cahoots to bully me?"
No one answered her, which made her even more certain. According to reason, Gu Sisi shouldn't have the ability to bully her, and with her current status, no one should be able to bully her. There must be something wrong somewhere.
She murmured, "It's impossible. I'm the eldest daughter of the Wen family. How dare you bully me like this?"
No one answered her. Huang Fangjuan snorted, "I think it's you, Miss Wen, who wants to bully me! Tell me, what's unreasonable here? As long as you can give a reason, I'll give you all the trophies I've won at home."
At this point, there was no turning back. Those who knew the truth sighed. Offending the screenwriter like this would make it hard for her in the entertainment industry.
"What do your trophies matter to me?" Wen Meiling frowned in confusion. She knew this person was from the crew, but why did she always help Gu Sisi? Could it be that they were relatives?
"The script you think is rubbish was written by me. Do you know why now?" Huang Fangjuan stared directly at her. "As long as you can give one reason, this condition isn't too much, right?"
Although Sister Juan was smiling, she must have reached the peak of her anger. Although Gu Sisi hadn't known Sister Juan for a long time, she knew her very well.
"Didn't she write it?" Now Wen Meiling was completely panicked. She pointed at the crowd. Her mind went blank, as if a string had snapped. Her finger didn't point specifically at anyone, so no one knew who she was referring to. They all withdrew their gazes.
"Now I'm telling you that it was me. You have to tell me why it's unreasonable!" Sister Juan's face looked very ugly.
