The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife
Chapter 311: An Explosive Confrontation and an Audition
CHAPTER 311: AN EXPLOSIVE CONFRONTATION AND AN AUDITION
"Han Bi, I really don’t understand your thinking. Why are you putting on a wounded face right now? Is it that strange that we were together for half a month? You know we’ve been together for a long time." Wen Nuan said with a smile, looking at her with a cold expression. Her behavior was truly ridiculous.
Han Bi’s face was extremely pale, and her earlier confidence was gone. Han Bi took a few steps forward, her cold eyes fixed on Wen Nuan. "Wen Nuan, don’t get too smug. One day, you’ll fall. A person’s luck doesn’t last forever."
Wen Nuan smiled slightly. "Han Bi, just as you said, a person’s luck doesn’t last a lifetime. That goes for me, and for you. Not everything can go your way. When you’re scheming against others, think about yourself. If you had a little more kindness, your life would be very happy and healthy. You’re so beautiful and talented, why would you make yourself ugly for Ye Feimo?"
After all, she was the one who had given up on Ye Feimo.
Han Bi raised her chin and looked at her arrogantly. "Who are you to speak to me like that?"
The atmosphere between the two of them instantly became tense. Zhuo Bingbing felt the same atmosphere as she did at the Critics’ Choice Awards. She could even feel the tension from reading the newspaper. Now, it was even more obvious that they were fighting.
Wen Nuan smiled slightly. "To you, I’m nothing, so I don’t have the right to say anything to you. However, to Feimo, Han Bi, you’re nothing either."
Han Bi seemed to have been hit where it hurt and was furious from embarrassment. Linda hurriedly came over and said, "Han Bi, don’t be angry. She’s just trying to provoke you. Don’t fall for it. Director Lin is very strict. Don’t ruin your mood."
Wen Nuan sneered. She was nothing more than that. She started the confrontation but couldn’t handle it.
What was the point?
It was meaningless.
"How far have you and Feimo gone?" Han Bi asked in a low voice, her eyes filled with resentment. For the first time, she admitted that Ye Feimo and Wen Nuan’s relationship was not what she had imagined—just a fling.
From the time they met until now, if it were just a fling, Feimo would have already gotten tired of her.
Wen Nuan must be using some kind of trick to confuse Feimo.
"Why should I tell you?" Wen Nuan asked with a light laugh. Han Bi really needed to give up. Although she no longer cared about Han Bi and Ye Feimo’s past, and she fully trusted Ye Feimo, trust was one thing, and a former girlfriend eyeing her husband was another. She didn’t like Han Bi’s pathological obsession with Ye Feimo.
"You..." Han Bi was a little angry, but Wen Nuan just gave her a disdainful look. Han Bi calmed herself down. "Just wait and see who gets the last laugh."
"All bluster and no backbone," Wen Nuan said, throwing four words at her. It made Han Bi so angry. Wen Nuan looked at her, and her lips curled into a smile. "Miss Han, you’re a person of status and position. You shouldn’t need anyone to tell you these things, but I’ll say it anyway. No matter how good or how glamorous another person’s man is, just admire him from a distance. Don’t get any funny ideas. Ye Feimo is mine."
She clearly expressed her possessiveness, and her eyes showed a hint of dominance.
Zhuo Bingbing clicked her tongue in amazement. "Can love really turn a person into an invincible little warrior?" Looking at Wen Nuan’s dominant expression, she was a completely different person from the one who was just laughing awkwardly and gossiping.
Han Bi was furious. Linda was afraid she would do something out of line in public, so she quickly pulled her away. Han Bi stormed off to another waiting room.
Zhuo Bingbing gave her a thumbs-up. "Wen Nuan, you’re amazing. This is the first time I’ve ever seen Han Bi speechless. You’re so sharp."
"It’s nothing," Wen Nuan said, waving her hand. She had already put Han Bi in her place once in the parking lot. This time was nothing. With that marriage certificate, she had a lot of confidence. When a woman comes to challenge you, you can be confident and not afraid.
After all, she was the person in the spouse column on Ye Feimo’s marriage certificate.
"You’ve suddenly become a completely different person," Zhuo Bingbing said. She had met Wen Nuan on set, and they were very close. In her eyes, Wen Nuan was a very well-behaved girl. Except for that one time in Casablanca, she rarely saw Wen Nuan lose her temper.
Wen Nuan smiled, her expression calm and serene. "It’s simple. I’m a good actress. Who can be better than me? Liang Hongyu is a woman who has both power, courage, and beauty. I’m just practicing for the role with Han Bi."
Zhuo Bingbing, "..."
You’re a genius!
The two of them sat for a while, and then Cai Xiaojing came over. Soon, another actress came out looking angry. Wen Nuan was very curious. "Sister Xiaojing, why are they all so angry?"
She was completely confused.
"They just had an audition with a perverted director. How can they not be angry?" Cai Xiaojing said flatly. She really wanted to complain about Lin Ning’s insane auditions. She wanted to punch him, and she also wanted to just turn around and leave.
Even if the role was already decided and Wen Nuan was the lead, he shouldn’t be playing with people like this.
Wen Nuan and Cai Xiaojing talked about the TV show for a whole hour before it was Wen Nuan’s turn. When it was Wen Nuan’s turn, Lin Ning also called Han Bi over.
They would be auditioning together. Zhuo Bingbing insisted on watching, and Cai Xiaojing couldn’t refuse her, so she took her inside with her.
There weren’t many people in the studio. Director Lin, the assistant director, producer Gu, a lighting technician, and two staff members were all there.
Lin Ning was wearing sunglasses, his long legs stretched out and crossed on the table. He had his head tilted to the side, looking both elegant and domineering, with a super thuggish look on his face.
"Is this really an audition?" Wen Nuan wondered to herself.
Lin Ning pointed to Wen Nuan and Han Bi. "You two will be acting together."
Lin Ning’s auditions were always based on the script. He would pick a scene from the script and have them act it out. So he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Which one of you wants to go first?"
Wen Nuan and Han Bi looked at each other. Wen Nuan said, "Han Bi is my senior. She can go first."
Han Bi didn’t mind. It didn’t matter who went first. Lin Ning nodded, and a staff member handed Han Bi the script he had chosen. It was a scene where the female protagonist begs the empress for permission to go to battle to save her husband.
The scene wasn’t long, only about five lines, but it was very touching. It was a small climax in the first half of the film.
It wasn’t easy to pull off.
Lin Ning treated them equally. "Wen Nuan is the empress. Begin."
Auditions didn’t require lighting or cameras, and the setting was very simple. Lin Ning told them to act however they wanted without any restrictions. It was Wen Nuan’s first time acting as a supporting character, and it was with Han Bi, so it felt very strange.
She was the empress, so she just had to have a condescending expression and a cold, indifferent look as she watched Liang Hongyu cry and plead, expressing her deep love for her husband and her determination to go to war.
The supporting role was simple, but it was not easy for Han Bi to perform.
Lin Ning actually made her kneel, beg, and cry in front of Wen Nuan?
