Zheng Lin: "I just taught you how to win the lead role, and now can't you treat me any better? You repay kindness with enmity, huh?"
"Then don't keep touching me inappropriately."
“You can’t touch anything that’s legal,” Zheng Lin teased her, speaking sarcastically. “No wonder, you probably still have feelings for your ex-husband. But I’m your husband now, so why can’t I touch you?”
"Are you sick? You always bring up those unpleasant things. Do you think that will hurt me? Let me tell you, I'm not hurt." Su Jin stood on tiptoe and glared at him angrily. "Zhao Xichen deserved to die. He deserved his retribution. I don't even care about an ex-husband like that. And you, my current husband, are no better. You said you would help me, but you're always going against me. I haven't received a single penny of the inheritance you promised."
She paused, her gaze sharpening further. "Clearly, you're not much better than him! Why should I be close to someone like you?"
Zheng Lin's gaze was dark and unfathomable, a hint of anger flashing within him.
Su Jin was still fuming with her mouth open when her lips were suddenly sealed.
The man's sweet scent lingered in her nostrils, and her lips were being gently nibbled; she could only make soft moaning sounds.
A thought popped into Su Jin's mind: How come I didn't realize this bastard was so despicable ten years ago!
With that thought, she bit his lower lip, applying slight pressure, and blood seeped out.
The taste of blood spread in my mouth.
Zheng Lin felt pain, but refused to let go of her.
After a long while, Su Jin was so dizzy from the kisses that she could hardly breathe, that Zheng Lin finally stopped.
Zheng Lin wiped the blood from his lips and said mockingly, "Someone like me, you don't want to get close to me, but you already are. You're already tainted, and there's no way to wash it off."
Su Jin cursed, "You're crazy!"
It's unclear whether this sentence is directed at him or at himself.
She could feel her own heartbeat, and it was very fast.
He's gone mad, and she's not entirely lucid either.
......
At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor, several dismissed junior employees were still standing there silently waiting.
Assistant Wang passed by and advised them to go back.
They said, "No, we need to wait for the result."
"Don't wait any longer," Assistant Wang said politely. "Attorney Zheng is the chairman's fiancé, how could he possibly help you?"
Everyone was stunned.
At 2 PM, the film crew began their audition.
Su Jin, who had spent the afternoon preparing, was the first to go in for her audition.
"Su Ling, audition for Li Wan. This is the scene you'll be auditioning for today. You have one minute. Once you've finished watching, you can begin."
After reading it, Su Jin put the script aside.
"Hello director, I'm Su Ling." Su Jin gave an OK sign to the camera.
Start recording.
Su Jin kept her eyes tightly closed, and a trickle of blood spurted from her mouth.
She stared blankly ahead, her eyes filled with deep disbelief.
"You want to kill me? You want to kill me for a demon?" Su Jin shook her head slightly, then laughed maniacally, tears glistening in her eyes.
Finally, in despair, she closed her eyes and collapsed to the ground, motionless.
The camera zooms in, and a tear slides down her cheek.
Zheng Lin, who was watching from the audience, was quite surprised by the performance.
Not only was he surprised, but Director Li was also completely mesmerized. He didn't utter a single word for more than ten seconds after she fell to the ground.
The tiled floor was a bit cool. Su Jin thought to herself, "Why haven't they called 'over' yet? What, is it that bad? So bad that they don't know what to say? Sigh, should I listen to Zheng Lin and increase my investment to help me snatch the female lead?"
Time seemed to drag on, and Su Jin, lying on the ground, even considered what material she should replace the floor with later.
"Okay!" Director Li shouted unexpectedly.
There were many other actors auditioning in the audience, and a thunderous applause erupted immediately.
Su Jin opened her eyes in surprise, and someone helped her up.
She glanced away and found Gao Wei's venomous eyes glaring at her.
"Did I pass?" Su Jin asked Director Li as she stepped off the stage.
“No, but you performed exceptionally well. Sit there and wait for news. We still need to check on the other actors.” Director Li wrote something on a piece of paper, not paying attention to her, and then called out, “Next actor, take your place.”
With so many people around, it's normal that they can't pay attention to her.
When she was a nobody, she might not even get a chance to perform all day; she could only wait on the sidelines.
Su Jin developed her patience during that time.
When Su Jin saw Zheng Lin, she chose a seat far away from him.
A few seconds later, Zheng Lin sat down next to her and handed her a bottle of water.
He offered her a way out, and she accepted it.
Su Jin took the water and looked at the performers on the stage.
Zheng Lin crossed his legs, but he had no interest in watching anyone else's performance; his gaze was fixed on Su Jin's face.
"This one seems pretty good too." Su Jin rested her chin on her hand and tapped the bottle cap twice with her fingers.
Zheng Lin mistakenly thought that she couldn't open the bottle cap but was too embarrassed to say so, so he reached out to help her open it.
Who knew that Su Jin would tuck the water bottle between her thighs the next moment, unscrew the small cap with one hand, and mutter, "It's over, all the people who came are experts."
Zheng Lin: "..." She can open a bottle cap with one hand? Ten years ago, she couldn't open it. She always said she couldn't open it. Was she faking it back then?
Now you're not willing to pretend in front of him anymore, are you?
Thinking about it that way, I actually got a little angry.
A few rows away, Gao Wei turned to look at Su Jin, then sneered, "All you do is seduce men. This morning it was a young heartthrob, and this afternoon you changed to another one. And you still want to be the leading lady?"
Song Leilei also glanced at it, inwardly cursing Gao Wei. After all, Su Jin was her good friend, and in every way, Su Jin was excellent.
Song Leilei said, "Sister, I don't think it's good to talk about others behind their backs. I think Su Ling's performance is very good. So far, she is the most suitable for the female lead."
After several encounters, Gao Wei had developed a deep-seated grudge against Su Jin.
They can't stand hearing their own people speak to outsiders.
Gao Wei snapped, "Have you memorized your lines? You still have the mind to worry about others? Stop watching, those shoddy acting performances won't inspire you."
There were more than twenty actresses auditioning for the female lead role. Su Jin finished drinking the last sip of water, and that was the end of it.
Su Jin got up and stretched her neck, then heard Director Li announcing the female lead candidates.
"Numbers one, eight, and nineteen, stay. The rest of you will work together next time."
Su Jin's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Zheng Lin's hand beside her. "Did you hear that? I'm here! Wow—hahahaha, I knew my acting was good enough, I didn't need to use any special privileges."
The area was being cleared out. Before leaving, Gao Wei brought his own artist to Su Jin's side and coldly snorted, "Don't be too happy yet. With our Lei Lei here, you have no chance at all. The female lead will only be our Lei Lei's."
Song Leilei looks like a high school student, with a very pure and petite feel to her.
