Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 393 Playing The Same Trick (2)Ye Mingyu was aware that everything she had done so far towards Su Xiaofei was comparable to punching a cotton. Nothing so far had worked according to her plans, making her wonder if Su Xiaofei could truly see past her facade and wasn't willing to become a backdrop for her to shine.
As for Xiao Rufeng, if she hadn't gone to Su Xiaofei's side, snatching the female lead role from her, she wouldn't go to this extent to plot against her. Xiao Rufeng could only blame herself for being such a nuisance in Ye Mingyu's eyes. Ye Mingyu wanted to get rid of her and get the female lead role once Xiao Rufeng was out of the picture.
However, Ye Mingyu realized that it wouldn't be easy, as Xiao Rufeng wasn't as dumb as she thought the woman would be. She felt like she couldn't pretend too long in front of this woman, her dark eyes seemed like a bottomless pit, waiting for her to commit a mistake.
"I understand if you aren't willing, Miss Xiao. I'm not going to force you to accept me."
When Xiao Rufeng remained silent, Ye Mingyu excused herself and immediately fled from Xiao Rufeng's dressing room. Once she was gone, Xiao Rufeng stood up and locked the door before picking up one of the lemonades Ye Mingyu had given her earlier and poured the contents on the planter box just outside the window of her dressing room.
"Yanyan, do you think you could observe the plants for me? I'm not sure what Miss Ye is up to, but I don't want to regret later for not listening to President Su's advice."
Because she and Tang Liyan had the same manager, Xiao Rufeng was informed of Bai Qingyue's manager's scheme against Bluemedia's reigning queen. If a popular celebrity like Bai Qingyue was able to do such a thing to her fellow artist, what could possibly happen to a no name star like her?
Xiao Rufeng didn't want to imagine. It was already hard for her to endure the things she received from others since her trainee days. If it wasn't for Su Xiaofei's advice, she didn't think she would be able to survive to this day.
Thankfully, her young assistant was able to catch what she meant by her words and nodded her head in agreement. Xiao Rufeng didn't need to explain more regarding why she was wary of being in the same place as Ye Mingyu.
"Leave it to me, Miss Xiao. I'll make sure to check every meal and drinks you receive from others from now on." Her assistant promised Xiao Rufeng, but the latter made sure to remind herself to be more careful in the future and to not leave the responsibility to her assistant alone.
It was really a pity that Ye Mingyu had to resort to scheming rather than proving to everyone that she was talented enough to secure the role herself. Xiao Rufeng didn't think that Ye Mingyu was lacking when it comes to beauty or talent, but her scheming attitude was her greatest flaw. If only she was confident enough, she wouldn't feel insecure towards Su Xiaofei or Xiao Rufeng.
Alas, nothing could be done to make Ye Mingyu realize this. Ye Mingyu might also misunderstand her for it and take it against her if she dared to point this out. Some people would refuse to accept the truth no matter how glaringly obvious it was anyway. There was no cure for idiocy, especially if one wasn't willing to change.
After two hours of waiting, Xiao Rufeng was summoned by the director to act in her first scene. Everyone was on edge, waiting for her to commit a mistake. Even Ye Mingyu stayed and decided to watch Xiao Rufeng's performance, wanting to see for herself why Xiao Rufeng was chosen for the lead role instead of her.
However, everyone was left speechless once Xiao Rufeng started acting her role. She seemed to have been turned into a different person, far from the Xiao Rufeng they knew her to be. It was as if they were looking at the female lead herself, with a presence that was difficult to ignore by anyone.
The series 'Demonville' was a horror-thriller with a lot of action scenes in it. The male lead was being played by a seasonal actor named Lin Sheng, and he was quite popular and had a decent following base. The director has also won international awards over the past years. The reason why many actresses, experienced and new, were fighting to get the lead role was because of the high possibility of winning an award.
What actor wouldn't want to win an award? Having one would not only prove their skills, but it can also heighten their popularity. The easiest way to achieve this was to be part of a good project and great script.
This was why, having an almost no name actress getting the female lead role for the series made everyone wary of Xiao Rufeng. Lin Sheng's loyal fans wanted to see if her performance would drag him down with her.
Ye Mingyu didn't notice that her nails were digging into her palm painfully as she watched Xiao Rufeng's performance. She couldn't find any flaw in Xiao Rufeng's acting skills. It seemed to her that the difference in their abilities was considerably apparent, and she was lacking in so many ways. Xiao Rufeng was able to change her persona according to her role.
Ye Mingyu blinked and turned her back, choosing to return to her dressing room to sort her thoughts. In this industry, no matter how good an actor is, he or she should be wary of being replaced or dismissed. So she still had the chance to become the female lead.
Xiao Rufeng might be able to get the female lead role, but there was no assurance that she would be the one playing the role throughout the series. At this thought, Ye Mingyu's lips curled into an evil smile.
