Chapter 28: To Scramble for a Role
Jian Rushi had already been possessed by her swordswoman dream. No wonder Tang Ge always said her brain was only for decoration.
She had been dreaming that she could roam the wuxia world with a sword since she was young, but when she grew up, she found she could only roam the real world with a junk!
Finally she met her dreamlike scripts and she decided to be the female lead on spot!
Actually this drama had another female lead.
The director got stunned on knowing that his scripts got picked up by Jian Rushi.
Everyone in this circle knew about Jian Rushi. She only picked some minor roles. But this time she picked the female lead!
But the female lead of this show was the best actress winner Jiang Xue!
“Director, what is going on?”
Jian Xue tried to stay calm but still lost control. Anyone who got kicked out as the female lead would lose her temper.
Besides, her major was acting, and she had learnt abroad. She had gone viral immediately under her family’s support. After all it was easy to make fast money in the entertainment circle.
And she thought if she became a big movie star. He Lianze would look up to her. Actually she had been waiting for He Lianze to confess his feelings for her, but still got no response.
In an interview when she talked about her relationship with He Lianze, anyone with a brain could tell she was forcing him to marry her through her words.
Though she didn’t say his name, anyone in this circle knew it was He Lianze who had shown up on her party.
And since then the buzzing rumors had spread the whole circle. Once time someone got drunk on a party and told He Lianze about it, “That actress nearly said your name. Such a beauty, and she is the only daughter of Jiang Family. Though she is not good enough for you, at least you can have some fun with her.”
He Lianze frowned on hearing that.
Jiang Xue was his junior in college. That was true. But they barely contacted with each other. He had only brought something for Jiang Xue when he went abroad. That was all.
“Who is this Jiang Xue?”
“Isn’t she your girlfriend?”
“I don’t know her.”
These words were like a palm slapping on Jiang Xue’s face.
Anyhow, Jiang Xue’s carrot and stick wasn’t of no use. At least it tipped He Lianze. So he got Jiang Xue investigated. As expected, before Jiang Rushi had run away, Jiang Xue had ever talked to her.
Although he wasn’t sure what happened that night, it had already driven He Lianze mad. First he would end Jiang Family.
In only three months, Jiang Family went bankrupt.
Now Jiang Xue was only a C-list celebrity. How would such a spoiled girl live such a rough life? She had no choice but to go back to Lu Ziming’s side.
Lu Ziming accepted her, but he didn’t love her that much like he had claimed. Anyway, such kind of a man would never really love someone.
This time Jiang Xue finally got a script and acted as the female leave. When she arrived at A city, she was told someone snapped her role.
This became the last straw that crushed the camel.
The director talked vaguely, only saying she was a big shot’s girlfriend who he dare not offend.
She laughed grimly. Wasn’t she a big shot?
With Lu Ziming as her support, who would she be afraid of?
But she never expected the one who stole her role was Jian Rushi.
She already got pissed off on seeing that name. But she had to maintain her posture. After paying the personal detective, she started to leaf through the materials.
She had seen Jian Rushi once.
Jian Rushi and Tang Ge had left early that night, so they didn’t hear their whole conversation.
Lu Ziming said, “He Lianze hasn’t been waiting for you with all his heart. He has a girlfriend. But no one has ever seen her before.”
“Nonsense! Are you trying to cast a cloud over me” Jiang Xue said arrogantly, “Lu Ziming, I don’t believe no word from you.”
