Everyone said that although she played a villain, she was so straightforward that it was inexplicably hard to dislike her.
Therefore, she also earned the nickname ‘Sister Gengzhi’ (meaning ‘straightforward’).
The actress didn’t dislike Jiang Leyi, but she was inexplicably annoyed with Su Ran.
During the audition, Jiang Leyi’s acting had convinced her, so she had no complaints about losing to a newcomer with better acting skills.
But Su Ran was completely parachuted in. She hadn’t put in any effort and was simply thrust into the role by the investors. How could anyone accept that?
However, due to the immense power of the financial backers behind her, she could only swallow her anger.
Now that rumors were circulating that she had been abandoned by her sponsor, they were once again plotting to target her.
The third female actress sarcastically said, “Ran Ran, why aren’t you drinking? This liquor isn’t strong. You usually drink three cups at parties and don’t get drunk. On such a nice day, why are you pouring yourself a glass of plain water?”
Su Ran held her glass.
Although she knew that she would be ostracized and targeted when attending the dinner party, she didn’t expect the third female lead to be so arrogant.
Su Ran sensed Director Wen’s displeasure.
She quickly explained, “I haven’t been feeling well these past few days, so it’s not suitable for me to drink alcohol. Director Wen, I’ll drink water instead of alcohol. This toast is for you, and I certainly won’t let you down.”
Director Wen: “…”
He had no expectations at all and even felt a little hopeless because of Su Ran’s somewhat bad reputation.
This might be the worst drama he’s ever directed.
It was also his first TV series.
If it wasn’t successful, he’d better stick to his career in the film and television industry.
He gave a forced smile: “Not at all. The rest of this drama depends on your efforts, so give me a good performance and try to get it in one take without any retakes.”
Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
The third female lead was unwilling to let Su Ran get away with it.
Unable to find an excuse to make things difficult, she could only eat in silence.
Just then, a plate of braised fish was placed in front of Su Ran.
She usually didn’t notice it, but now the greasy smell was so obvious.
Su Ran tried to hold it back, but couldn’t help herself and ran away, covering her mouth.
The third female actress’s action of picking up the fish was neither moving her hand nor remaining still.
Was this fish so unpalatable? Could it make her vomit in front of everyone?
She already picked it up.
The third female actress had no choice but to eat it, and found it tasted quite good.
She twitched her lips speechlessly, “So pretentious! You act like you’re pregnant, vomiting at the sight of these dishes.”
Jiang Nanshu ate her meal silently.
Instantly, she figured it out.
Don’t drink alcohol, don’t like the smell of greasy food.
It seemed pretty close to being pregnant.
But this wasn’t certain. Jiang Nanshu didn’t know if Su Ran was really pregnant with Zhou Yanbai’s child.
It was really interesting.
She didn’t think Zhou Yanbai would be completely obedient to Su Ran just because of the child.
Zhou Yanbai was a despicable man who would do anything to achieve his goals.
So, this matter would only be interesting if someone else dug it up.
After finishing her meal, Su Ran made an excuse and left.
Jiang Leyi didn’t want to stay there, so she went outside to enjoy the night breeze. Suddenly, she heard a pleading male voice.
“Yanbai, you promised me that I would help you get your inheritance back, and you would tell me where my daughter is. How can you go back on your word? If it weren’t for you, how could she have been lost for so many years? Uncle is begging you. I only have this one child in my life. I won’t rest in peace until I find her. Yanbai, look how crazy your aunt is about this. I beg you, tell us where my daughter has been sent.”
