Lan Qingyue was not involved in how the public relations were handled afterwards. She only heard Liu Yuanyuan mention it once, that Lin Ting'er seemed to have been terminated from her contract.

Lin Ting'er's role as the second female lead was quite substantial, comparable to that of the female lead, but later the actress was replaced and the filming was repeated.

Lan Qingyue doesn't need to reshoot; after her scenes are finished, she'll have another week to rest.

During such a wonderful time, we should sleep in and make up for all the lost sleep.

While Lan Qingyue was filming, Elsa went to keep Liu Liqi company. Finally, all three of them had some free time, so they made small cakes in their own garden.

At the same time, Lan Qingyue also received a phone call. She could ignore other people's appointments, but…

"Madam Qi, what brings you here?"

The noblewoman sitting opposite them was Qi Yu's mother, Gao Yilan. This was their first meeting.

With impeccable makeup, haute couture attire, and her hair styled in a high bun, her well-maintained face showed no signs of aging. She looked as youthful and beautiful as an eighteen-year-old girl, making even a young and beautiful woman like Lan Qingyue feel somewhat inferior in comparison.

"Miss Lan is indeed beautiful!"

Gao Yilan carefully examined Lan Qingyue, but the smile in her eyes did not reach her eyes.

Although Lan Qingyue was naive, she was not ignorant; she did not believe that Gao Yilan was genuinely praising her.

She always felt that Gao Yilan wasn't really looking at her; it seemed that she was seeing someone else through her.

Later events proved that her intuition was correct; it was just that Gao Yilan's "acting" was too perfect.

Lan Qing had heard the system gossip about this wealthy lady to some extent.

Gao Yilan comes from a wealthy family and has a husband who dotes on her, so she is undoubtedly a very happy woman.

Her illustrious family background and a husband who would give her everything gave her the right to be capricious.

She possesses both the elegance of a wealthy lady and the innocence of a young girl.

"Madam Qi, you flatter me." Lan Qingyue accepted her "praise."

"Miss Lan is so beautiful and successful, I'm sure many people like her!"

Lan Qingyue: "..."

It's confirmed, this person is here to cause trouble.

Knowing full well that she's "married" and has a daughter, they probably asked that question on purpose!

Gao Yilan changed the subject, "Our Qi Yu just loves to play, but I don't think Miss Lan is a gamer either. In that case, it's not really suitable for you to 'play' with him. What do you think, Miss Lan?"

Gao Yilan wore a smile throughout, like a kind elder speaking to a younger person, but it was precisely because of this that every word she spoke was piercing.

The word "play" is so sharp! It's like a cold, sharp sword. How could you say something so hurtful to such a beautiful lady?

No wonder Cinderella could never get along with her wealthy mother-in-law. With such a formidable mother-in-law, how could she possibly have a good relationship? She'd be lucky to even be alive.

Thank goodness I don't like Qi Yu, otherwise I would have gone to a corner and cried my eyes out.

Lan Qingyue raised an eyebrow, seemingly lost in thought. A few seconds later, she smiled and said, "Madam Qi, I don't understand what you mean?"

Is it really appropriate to say this to a "married woman"?

"Oh? I thought Miss Lan was quite knowledgeable about games in that circle! Sorry."

With a guilty expression on her face and apologetic words on her lips, Lan Qingyue really didn't sense that she had any intention of restraining herself.

Here we go again, stabbing us in the back.
