Chapter 1093: Chapter 1093: Does Shen Mianmian Have Three Heads and Six Arms?

"Go! Go!" Yang Xiaoxi had no time to chat, "I have to deal with He Xiaobei."

Shen Mianmian was already used to their playful bickering. She laughed, turned around, and went to film. This scene was precisely the one where she played opposite Zeng Yi. Despite not having acted for five years, Shen Mianmian’s acting skills were still spot on.

To say she could slip into character in a second was no exaggeration. Zeng Yi was also a terrific actor, and their chemistry was seamless, nailing the scene in one take.

After the director called cut, he approached them and said, "Mianmian, that was tough, you can wrap up for the day."

Shen Mianmian nodded with a smile, exchanged pleasantries with the director, and then prepared to leave.

The lead actress, Wang Yaman, passed by her. As they brushed shoulders, she mockingly said, "It must be nice to play the second female lead, getting to wrap up early. Unlike me, the lead actress, with so many scenes to shoot and longer hours. I haven’t had any rest these past few days, totally exhausting."

Her assistant, upon hearing this, tugged at her sleeve, hinting not to provoke Shen Mianmian, but she shrugged it off.

Shen Mianmian glanced her way and said, "It’s even better to be an extra. One scene equals an entire drama, and you wrap up directly. Miss Wang might want to give it a try."

"You..."

Wang Yaman was choked up, suddenly at a loss for words, and could only watch as Shen Mianmian left the set with her head held high.

Once Shen Mianmian was far away, the assistant anxiously said, "Miss Wang, don’t mess with Shen Mianmian. She’s got connections. Even the director has to show her respect. I heard they weren’t planning to cast Zeng Yi at first, but upon her word, the director agreed without hesitation."

Wang Yaman gave her a withering look, "What, is Shen Mianmian some kind of monster?"

"She knows a lot of people, that’s as good as," the assistant replied.

"You..."

Wang Yaman, infuriated, glared, "Out of my sight, don’t annoy me here."

What was Shen Mianmian anyway?

With just a coquettish plea to her backer, she could make way for even two Shen Mianmians.

"Mianmian, was Wang Yaman trying to bully you just now?" Yang Xiaoxi approached with He Xiaobei in arms, ready to stand up for Shen Mianmian.

"She’s not worth my bother," Shen Mianmian said, "At most, she can spout a few sour remarks for her own satisfaction."

"Hmph," Yang Xiaoxi snorted, "I’ve had it with this Wang Yaman a long time ago. Acting all high and mighty because she has someone backing her. In our last project together, as the second female lead, she kept adding scenes for herself, squeezing out the third female lead’s part completely."

"Who’s backing her?" Shen Mianmian raised an eyebrow and asked.

Over the years, she hadn’t been active in the industry, nor had she paid much attention to these matters.

"The boss of Chengfeng Group," Yang Xiaoxi said, fuming, "A newly rich real estate tycoon that’s risen these past years."

"Oh, it’s him."

Shen Mianmian’s expression flickered, but she said nothing more.

"Wait for me a bit longer, I’m going to remove my makeup."

"Sure."

Yang Xiaoxi stood there, holding He Xiaobei, fuming as she glared at Wang Yaman. Watching Wang Yaman’s arrogant antics, she felt an urge to slap her.

Daring to mock Mianmian, this surely wasn’t a first-time offense.

Mediocre acting skills, plain looks, only capable of enchanting old men.

Shen Mianmian quickly changed clothes and came out to find Yang Xiaoxi still glaring at Wang Yaman. She couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, stop glaring. You’re going to pop your eyes out."

"I can’t stand her," Yang Xiaoxi stomped her foot, "If she dares to mock you again, you have to tell me. I’ll confront her directly."
