CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 122: THE TROUBLEMAKER

"That’s why we took her in and got her a job with the film crew."

Su Xingwan looked at Wen Yue with a curious expression.

"Sister Wen Yue is really nice," Cheng Ke said.

"She handles a lot of the miscellaneous tasks in our crew."

Xu Huanyan glanced over and said, "Miss Su, you really resemble Wen Yue, don’t you?"

Su Xingwan, upon hearing this, looked at her once more.

Cheng Ke commented beside them, "Yes, indeed. Sister Wen Yue’s eyes and brows look a bit like Sister Su’s."

Except Sister Wen Yue’s eyes and brows are gentle, with a fragile yet resilient appearance.

Whereas Sister Su’s eyes and brows carry a gentle but slightly aloof aura.

"When we couldn’t find a lead actress before, we actually thought of having Sister Wen Yue try it, but she always refused, worried she’d ruin the show if she didn’t perform well."

Xu Huanyan added.

"The director from the crew next door wanted Wen Yue to play the lead in his show, but unfortunately, it got ruined by that arrogant Jiang Yan in the end."

In the past few months, many things had happened in their crew, mostly people coming to cause trouble for Wen Yue, but they all helped drive them away.

Wen Yue felt bad about it, so she worked from early morning till late at night in the film crew.

Every day, she was the first to arrive and the last to leave.

After the chat, Su Xingwan looked at Wen Yue for a moment before getting up to prepare for the next scene.

Since Wen Yue couldn’t act with the neighboring crew, Cheng Ke gave her a role with substantial screen time.

The role was to play the kind and gentle cousin of the female lead.

In that family, although the female lead was the legitimate daughter, her mother had passed away early, and her quiet, non-competitive nature didn’t please her stepmother or father.

There were also two concubine-born daughters who constantly gossiped in front of the grandmother, leading the grandmother to also dislike her.

In the whole family, only the cousin sincerely treated her well.

Every time the female lead was punished, the cousin would secretly bring her good food.

Later, both the female lead and the cousin got married. Although the female lead lost her husband, she wasn’t bullied by her in-laws.

On the contrary, the cousin’s fate was unfortunate. Her husband was a philanderer, frequenting brothels.

Her mother-in-law also treated her poorly, thinking it was her inability to hold onto her husband’s heart that made him visit brothels daily.

After the female lead reincarnated, her first action was to stop the cousin from marrying that philanderer.

Originally, this character didn’t exist in the script, but Cheng Ke added it for her sake.

Wen Yue was very touched when she saw the role Cheng Ke personally designed for her.

From the day she couldn’t remember anything and stood helplessly on the street.

If she hadn’t met Xu Huanyan and Cheng Ke, she might have ended up homeless.

Seeing everyone had memorized their lines, Xu Huanyan picked up the megaphone and said, "We’re ready to start filming!"

The behind-the-scenes team gave Xu Huanyan an OK gesture.

Su Xingwan quickly got into character, and in the first scene, she vividly portrayed the female lead’s resentment and anguish upon discovering her supposedly deceased husband was alive and had returned with his wife and child.

"Good!" Xu Huanyan shouted.

"Great emotion! Truly an experienced actress!"

Xu Huanyan exclaimed excitedly.

During the past few days of filming, even while directing, Miss Su had offered her some guidance several times.

Su Xingwan had previously done a lot of supporting roles and shot several short dramas, so she had quite a bit of experience in this area.

She was also someone who liked to learn.

After filming this scene, she would even take the initiative to help with editing.

Her editing skills had been excellent in the past, and editing TV footage now was no issue.

"Miss Su, you’re really versatile!" Xu Huanyan said excitedly.

The editors she hired were mostly fresh out of school and lacked sufficient experience, but under Su Xingwan’s guidance, they gradually edited quite well.

Su Xingwan smiled, "I have a platform account, and all the videos there were edited by me personally, so I have plenty of experience."

Xu Huanyan’s eyes lit up.

"Miss Su, why don’t you become our crew’s chief editor? I’ll pay you!"

"Alright."

She had returned all the money to Ye Yixing, and now, with a bit left in her pocket, she wanted to earn more.

Having money on hand made her feel more secure.

"Alright, then it’s settled."

Su Xingwan noticed that although Xu Huanyan was quite young and directing for the first time, she wasn’t short of money.

It was just her first business venture, and to avoid extravagance, she spent funds where necessary and tried to save wherever possible.

At this moment, suddenly Jiang Yan came over.

She locked eyes with everyone present, her final gaze resting on Wen Yue.

She walked up briskly and then pushed Wen Yue down.

"You shameless woman, how dare you covet my Wende brother!"

Wen Yue was dumbfounded by the push.

"With your innocent face, all you do is seduce men everywhere!" Jiang Yan continued to scold.

Seeing the situation, Xu Huanyan rushed over immediately.

"Are you crazy! Coming here to make trouble again!"

Jiang Yan crossed her arms, looking at their faces as they defended Wen Yue, she grew even angrier.

"If she wasn’t seducing my man, would I be here looking for trouble!"

"Who the hell is seducing your man?" Cheng Ke’s round face was full of anger.

"It’s your shameless man, a scumbag, who approached Sister Wen Yue. Sister Wen Yue never interacted with him voluntarily!"

"Right! That man is such garbage, only you would treasure him!" Xu Huanyan always sided with her girlfriends.

"I don’t care! Who told her face to appear in front of my boyfriend!"

The women felt speechless in the face of Jiang Yan’s unreasonable behavior.

"I don’t care what you say, leave here. Our crew does not welcome you!" Xu Huanyan shouted.

However, Jiang Yan glared hatefully at Wen Yue.

"You just wait! Sooner or later, I’ll catch you making a mistake!"

She threatened with this one line and then left.

Su Xingwan walked up to Wen Yue, concerned, "Are you alright?"

Wen Yue shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I’m fine, this is nothing. I’m used to it."

Since she was noticed by that director from the neighboring crew, Jiang Yan’s boyfriend was the male lead of that production. It’s said he had a hand in her being chosen.

However, during their shooting, Ai Wenduo made inappropriate advances, and the directors just watched without intervening.

It wasn’t until Jiang Yan came in and saw it that she, furious, slapped her.

In reality, she was innocent, but Jiang Yan wouldn’t listen to her side and was adamant that she was seducing her boyfriend.

In the ensuing months, Jiang Yan repeatedly brought people over to cause trouble for her.

Su Xingwan looked at her, "So are you just going to endure and let them bully you?"
