Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 570: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
"Miss Wan, you haven’t contacted President Lin in a while. Why not give him a call today?"
Lan mustered the courage to find Wan Tianning, taking advantage of a break to make the suggestion.
Wan Tianning glanced to her right, and Song Quege was still staring at her.
She sighed and said grumpily, "I really want to call Lin Yue, I miss him to death. But as you know, Director Li Zhuo’s rules prohibit taking leave, contacting the outside world, or making calls during filming unless it’s a major incident. Plus, there’s Song Quege watching me all the time. If she finds out I’m making a call and reports it to Director Li, all my efforts will be wasted. I’ve put so much passion into this film, I don’t want to give up halfway."
"I know, you don’t have to make the call, just say a few words." Lan gave her a knowing look.
Wan Tianning’s eyes lit up, and she nodded in understanding.
The two hurried to a secluded spot, where Lan opened her phone and hid it in her pocket, letting Wan Tianning speak.
To outsiders, it looked like Wan Tianning was just rehearsing lines.
"Miss me?" Wan Tianning asked with pursed lips.
Lin Yue replied with an "Mm," missing her dearly.
"I miss you too, but I still need to be isolated for a while. Director Li said we might get a few days off soon to visit family, and then we can meet." Wan Tianning said.
Lin Yue asked, "What do you want to eat? I’ll prepare it for you when you get back."
"How are things without me?" Wan Tianning asked.
Lin Yue replied with an "Mm," saying, "Everything’s fine, just missing you a lot."
Wan Tianning smiled.
In the heat of passion, a lover’s "I miss you" can sweetly reach the heart.
Meanwhile, as the two exchanged tender words, Lan awkwardly wished she could dig a hole with her toes to hide.
Song Quege approached.
"Mr. Wan, rehearsing lines here? It’s so secluded, how could Director Li see your efforts?"
Wan Tianning gave Lan a signal.
Lan nodded in understanding and reached into her pocket for the phone, taking a step back.
"I don’t need Director Li to see me rehearsing; it’s my duty. Unlike you, who needs to flaunt your rehearsals in front of Director Li. Isn’t that embarrassing?"
"Wan Tianning, don’t be arrogant." Song Quege said through gritted teeth.
Wan Tianning chuckled dismissively, "What if I’m arrogant? What can you do about it?"
"You..."
"Stop wasting time talking and get back to rehearsing your lines. You keep messing up so many times today. Aren’t you ashamed? We’re all tired of wasting time." Wan Tianning retorted.
"Hmph." Song Quege turned away, frustrated.
Wan Tianning breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Lan, "Keep an eye on that woman. She definitely doesn’t mean well."
Lan said, "Don’t worry, Miss Wan. I’ve been keeping a close watch on her to prevent any tricks."
"Did you hang up?" Wan Tianning asked.
Lan replied, "Already hung up."
"Nope." Came Lin Yue’s voice from the phone.
Lan and Wan Tianning were startled.
"Good thing you didn’t say anything earlier, otherwise that woman would’ve caught us." Wan Tianning said with lingering fear.
She truly admired Director Li Zhuo and didn’t want to leave a bad impression on him.
Therefore, she didn’t want Song Quege to lodge a complaint.
Lin Yue said, "I knew, so I stayed quiet when she started talking. Is she bullying you in the crew?"
"How could she," Wan Tianning replied, "Do you think my personality is easily bullied? What a joke."
Lin Yue smiled, "Right, Ningning wouldn’t be easily bullied. But if she does, make sure to tell me."
"You’ve gone bankrupt now. What’s the use of telling you? Can you help me fight back?" Wan Tianning blurted out.
Lin Yue fell silent.
Realizing her mistake, Wan Tianning hurriedly apologized, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to touch a sore spot. No matter what, I like you bankrupt or not. I like you for who you are, not for your money. I can earn the money myself. Just stay with me."
Lan listened in embarrassment, thinking, Miss Wan, you better stop talking.
Afraid you’ll regret your words once you learn the truth one day.
"I’m not angry. I won’t be angry no matter what you say." Lin Yue said good-naturedly.
Wan Tianning smiled joyfully.
But it was getting late, she exchanged a few more words with Lin Yue before asking Lan to hang up the call.
"Lan, you see, a woman needs to have money and ability for a man to be obedient. Lin Yue used to act so high and mighty in front of me, but now that he’s bankrupt, he’s become so good-tempered. So, women need to have abilities." Wan Tianning said smugly to Lan after hanging up.
Lan chuckled awkwardly, "Miss Wan, you’re right. But I think President Lin’s good temper isn’t because he’s bankrupt, it’s because he likes you. Because he likes you, he tolerates everything about you."
"What do you mean tolerate? Is my temper bad?" Wan Tianning shouted.
Lan quickly shook her head, "Not bad, it’s really good. It’s just the kind of temper President Lin likes."
Wan Tianning smiled smugly.
The afternoon shoot went smoothly with almost no errors.
But Song Quege suffered; whether it’s because Wan Tianning got to her or she didn’t focus properly on the script.
She messed up numerous times, angering Director Li Zhuo enough to slam the script on the table and storm off.
Wan Tianning approached Song Quege, mockingly saying, "Good thing you didn’t play the lead role. If a second female lead messes up so much, who knows how much progress the lead role would delay."
"It’s just that I’m off my game today. Wait till I’m back in form, I’ll act way better than you." Song Quege said angrily.
Wan Tianning knew she was off today; she’s usually not like this. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
She was a top performer among the new generation of actresses.
Still, she wanted to taunt her.
After getting in her fill of mockery, Wan Tianning rolled her eyes with a chuckle and left.
Song Quege’s face turned blue with anger but she couldn’t do anything against Wan Tianning.
Her assistant offered her a suggestion, "Why not find an opportunity to cause her an accident? She had an accident before, but unfortunately, she came back. Now that we’re filming outdoors, if an accident happened, no one would suspect anything; they’d just think she’s unlucky to have two accidents in a year."
"You idiot, this is Director Li Zhuo’s movie. Do you know his temper? He’d investigate thoroughly if anything happened. Then I’d get blacklisted in the industry. Don’t forget Lin Mimi who caused her accident before; she’s already blacklisted and works in a club serving drinks. Do you want me to end up like that?"
"Of course not, I’m sorry, Miss Song." The assistant quickly apologized.
A hint of coldness flashed in Song Quege’s eyes as she said, "But if an accident happens outside, it wouldn’t matter."
