The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 1057 - 444: Encountering Fang Qing Again
Lu Wangshu held onto the yogurt with both hands, and only after finishing did he put it down and look at Lu Jingchen, saying, "I’ve seen her at the restaurant before; I accidentally made her cry..."
Hmm, accidentally indeed...
Beside him, Song Nianhuan jumped off the sofa and directly confronted Lu Wangshu, saying, "You did that on purpose! You even said I..."
Halfway through the sentence, she couldn’t continue and stopped herself, her small face flushed red as she angrily stared at Lu Wangshu, her cheeks puffing up in displeasure. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Chu Munan looked at Song Nianhuan, who resembled a little hedgehog, and raised his hand to pull the little girl into his embrace, saying, "Tell godfather what he said to you? Godfather will stand up for you..."
...
After saying those things to Lu Jingchen in the morning, Song Qiao has felt distracted ever since, with images of Lu Jingchen’s pale face looking at her continually floating through her mind.
Honestly, even she felt her words were a bit harsh; she hadn’t explained the reasons to Lu Jingchen, nor why she left the Lu Family Mansion yesterday. Just as she arrived at the film set, she ran into an employee from CK Group, who used to work in the CEO’s secretary office and was on fairly good terms with her.
Only after chatting with her did Song Qiao realize that last night Lu Jingchen had been frantically looking for her, and today he hadn’t gone to the company but had gone straight to the hospital.
Not far away, Gu Xiyan had just finished filming a scene, wearing heavy accessories as she walked over, with sweat already forming on her face and even starting to soak into her clothes.
When she reached there, she saw Song Qiao sitting and lost in thought, staring into space. Gu Xiyan lifted up her skirt and approached her, waving her small hand in front of her, and softly spoke, "Qiao, what are you thinking about?"
Upon hearing Gu Xiyan’s voice, Song Qiao snapped back to reality, her gaze falling directly on her, pulling her lips into a faint smile and countering, "Just finished filming?"
Gu Xiyan nodded, "Today is done filming, I’ll continue tomorrow morning. Filming period dramas is really tiring; wearing the wig is exhausting."
She originally had long brown hair, but because of the period drama, all the hair seen onscreen is wigs, along with the accessories worn on the head, Gu Xiyan felt these things add up to at least two or three pounds weighing on her head.
Song Qiao looked at her, amused; perhaps it was Gu Xiyan’s innate charm that inevitably pleased people. The discomfort she felt earlier was significantly alleviated upon seeing Gu Xiyan.
She raised her hand to help gather Gu Xiyan’s hair at the back, thus reducing some of the weight on her head and reminded, "If it’s tiring, go and remove your makeup. If you don’t, your neck might snap under all that weight."
"Qiao, speaking like that makes it sound horrifying, can’t it?"
"I’m only giving an example, not turning it into a horror story."
"But you just said my neck could snap..."
"Just a figure of speech, you’re overthinking... but this thing really is quite heavy..."
"I said it was heavy."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked to the makeup room, since Gu Xiyan was the leading actress and had more scenes, she used the makeup room more than others. Given her current first-tier celebrity status, she naturally had a private makeup room.
On the way there, Song Qiao and Gu Xiyan stopped at a scene where it seemed like someone not too far away was having an argument, with a crowd gathered near the makeup room. It was happening right in front of Gu Xiyan’s makeup room.
Song Qiao furrowed her brow and heard familiar voices amidst the commotion, it was Gu Xiyan’s assistant and... the actress who had been involved with Xi Mocheng.
Song Qiao glanced over, and said to Gu Xiyan, who was standing there with her brows knit, "Let’s go and see what’s going on..."
The makeup room entrance was crowded with people mostly watching the drama unfold, and at the center of it all was the actress who was now Xi Mohan’s girlfriend——Fang Qing.
Song Qiao had no good impression of Fang Qing, not just because she replaced Ning Wan and stayed with Xi Mohan.
It was more due to Fang Qing’s high and mighty demeanor when they first met, which left Song Qiao very dissatisfied and unhappy.
During her time in the film set, she’d heard a lot about Fang Qing’s antics.
Many actresses who’ve worked with Fang Qing gossip behind her back, saying she was originally a third-rate actress taking unremarkable roles, until she got lucky and caught Xi Mohan’s attention.
The first time Song Qiao saw Fang Qing, she thought the woman resembled Ning Wan a bit, only in the eyes and face shape though, not much resemblance overall. Ning Wan was once hailed as An City’s top beauty and socialite.
Song Qiao thought she understood why Xi Mohan might choose Fang Qing because she looks a bit like Ning Wan.
She had slowly begun to accept Xi Mohan’s amnesia, as for Ning Wan’s shocking act with the knife, despite her surprise, it was like Lu Jingchen said: If they weren’t meant to be, there’s no need to interfere.
Ning Wan had tried her best to leave Xi Mohan, and now Xi Mohan had lost his memory, perhaps it’s the best conclusion for them both.
However, Song Qiao genuinely couldn’t bring herself to like Fang Qing, hearing that she always used her girlfriend status with Xi Mohan to suppress other actresses, and would even order around other actresses’ assistants who weren’t hers.
Once, she was ordered around like a servant.
Song Qiao and Gu Xiyan walked over, witnessing Fang Qing’s assistant cursing at Gu Xiyan’s assistant with very harsh words. Gu Xiyan’s assistant had been arranged by Shinian after returning from studies abroad, being a fresh graduate, facing an assistant with higher seniority, naturally, she was at a loss for how to retort, only able to bite her lip and stand there indignantly.
