Chapter 24

“What idea?” Su Huanran was the first to ask.

“We can minimize the damage if we just blame it all on Su Jianxi.” Gao Wen began describing her plan to everyone present, a scheming gleam in her eyes.

At the same time, at the girl-power film’s location shoot…

Su Jianxi had joined the team out of nowhere, so when Su Jianxi and Sis Kimi arrived at the scene on time, her appearance drew many sets of eyes toward her.

“Look, that’s Su Jianxi, the woman who trampled over her best friend to get the role.”

“No, wait, I remember that her best friend had an affair with her boyfriend!”

“Either way, the fact that the director immediately called her in to replace Su Huanran means that she has some mean connections. Just look at her slutty face. I wonder how many men she’s bedded.”

…

A few actresses whispered next to her, their gazes on Su Jianxi dripping with jealousy.

In the past, Sis Kimi would have long since approached them with death on her agenda, but now, Sis Kimi stood next to Su Jianxi and whispered softly, “Jianxi, tell me honestly, what have you been doing behind my back lately?”

Su Jianxi was eating breakfast, and she looked completely unaffected. “I got married lately, but that’s all.”

“You didn’t sleep with a higher-up at Heroic Emperor?”

“Nope.”

“You didn’t seduce one of them of your own accord?”

“Nope.”

“If you didn’t do anything at all, how did you get the lead role in a girl power film?”

“Probably because my husband’s a hotshot.” Su Jianxi was definitely telling the truth as she knew it.

Sis Kimi could tell that Li Tingxiao was no average Joe from the moment she saw him yesterday, so she pursued curiously, “What kind of a hotshot is he?”

Su Jianxi said, “I don’t know, either.”

Sis Kimi, “...”

Su Jianxi hung around the production team for a bit before the director of the girl power film approached her himself, giving her the script for the film.

“Jianxi, work hard, yeah? I have high hopes for you. You can just follow the team and get used to the surroundings this morning. Try to get a grasp on the characters’ personalities while you’re at it. That’s all you gotta do for now, okay?”

The director patted Su Jianxi’s shoulder and looked at the beautiful lady before him. She had delicate features and a natural haughtiness. Now, this was the perfect female lead he had been looking for.

She was completely unlike Su Huanran, who was all beauty and no brains.

“I got it. Thank you, Director Dong.”

Su Jianxi took the script. While the others were filming, she sat to the side and went through it.

Sis Kimi was in charge of other celebs as well, so she could not stay with Su Jianxi the entire time.

Meanwhile, Su Jianxi found a comfy spot to read and lay down, reading through the script.

This girl-power film was titled ‘Epic of the Cold-hearted Concubine’. The plot revolved around a 21st-century assassin who transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty, describing the drama that ensued between her and the prince.

Not only was the female lead drop-dead gorgeous, she was also arrogant and determined.

As Su Jianxi read it, she tried to imagine herself as this character.

Not half an hour into her reading, though, she began to hear some embarrassing noises coming from the corner.

“Careful… Someone might see…”

“See what? Everyone else is filming now. Don’t you like the thrill? It’d be better if someone did find us. That way they can see what an S you are.”

As soon as Su Jianxi heard their conversation, she immediately understood.

It had not been easy for her to find a quiet place to read the script, so she was surprised to think she bumped into something like this.

Su Jianxi could only cough awkwardly, saying to the half-closed door, “Could you guys keep it down?”

The moment Su Jianxi said that, the room fell completely silent.

More than ten seconds later, a woman ran out of the room, her face completely red. She even adjusted her clothes as she ran.

Perhaps out of acute embarrassment, the woman did not even look at Su Jianxi.
