Chapter 77: Chapter 76: Is This Your Professionalism?

"How should I know? Recently, I haven’t threatened her, and now she starts hopping around again," Wen Qiao gulped down another sip of her iced Americano. "If we weren’t the same gender, I’d suspect she’s deliberately courting death to get my attention."

Jiang Yao looked at Wen Qiao in shock, then rolled her eyes in response to the latter’s "Am I wrong?" gaze.

"You really are self-centered, aren’t you?"

In the drama, Wen Qiao and Lin Ruochun’s characters were best friends, but in reality, they were rivals who would fight to the death rather than shower each other with affection.

Portraying deep sisterly love was indeed challenging.

Wen Qiao was a professional and absolutely refused to let her personal emotions bleed into her work. She thought Lin Ruochun would do the same, after all, she knew Lin Ruochun genuinely loved acting.

But what she thought was just that—what she thought.

The filming location was the gazebo in the garden outside Rong Huan’s bedroom. Before the director even called action, Lin Ruochun, lifting her skirt, sat in the shade, leaving the spot half in the sun for Wen Qiao.

Wen Qiao glanced at her, said nothing, and walked over to take a seat in that spot.

It was supposed to be a simple, subdued scene of intimate friend’s heart-to-heart. If shot well, it would take no longer than ten minutes. However, Lin Ruochun kept making mistakes.

Either her gaze was too cold or her expressions too disdainful. After Director Zhang scolded her twice, she managed to stabilize her expression, but then she started changing the lines.

As time passed, the sun moved slowly along its arc, the scorching rays beating directly down on Wen Qiao’s head.

She hated the heat, and the uncomfortable fabric of her costume was fanning the flames of her irritation.

Director Zhang stood up from behind the monitor, angry, "Lin Ruochun, do you want to pack up and leave?"

"I’m sorry, director, but the sun has muddled my brain. I’ll get it right this time for sure."

Lin Ruochun had been personally selected by Director Zhang, and he was confident in her acting skills. Although he looked a bit displeased, he didn’t say much more.

Wen Qiao glanced at Lin Ruochun sitting in the shade and then looked up at the sun directly above her, speechless.

Who is the one getting sunburnt here?

Director Zhang was quite hypocritical. If it had been her making mistakes, she would have been scolded from the first error. But Lin Ruochun got chance after chance, despite repeating the same mistakes three times.

She was really beginning to wonder, did Fu Jinghen threaten Director Zhang at knifepoint to take her as the lead actress, which is why he seemed to dislike her so much?

After the director called for a ten-minute break, Wen Qiao stood up and looked down at Lin Ruochun from above: "Is this the professionalism you bragged about? I must say, you’ve really opened my eyes."

The scornful tone and icy gaze sent a shiver down Lin Chun’s spine.

She instinctively wanted to retort, but Wen Qiao did not give her the chance and walked away after speaking.

Lin Ruochun sat stunned on the stone seat when Jiang Wei came over and soothingly put her hand on her shoulder: "Xiao Chun, don’t be angry, Wen Qiao didn’t mean it, after all, she was pushed into this. If it doesn’t go well, Director Zhang will dislike her even more, and that’s why she’s taking it out on you."

Lin Ruochun glanced at Jiang Wei’s hand on her shoulder, frowning tightly: "Take it off."

Jiang Wei was taken aback but composedly removed her hand and sat opposite her, continuing, "I know you don’t like Wen Qiao, I don’t like her either. If the two of us team up to get her out of the cast..."

"Who wants to team up with you?"
