Ming Jiayi lowered her head and smiled softly.
Actually, she wanted to tell Yu Jianyan that they didn't have to pretend they didn't know each other.
But since Yu Jianyan has already put on such a kind act, she can't very well undermine him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too. I hope you'll take good care of me these next three days."
Xie Leying took two steps forward, then quietly glanced up at Ming Jiayi with her eyes lowered, and said in a soft voice,
"Miss, you're so beautiful! No wonder you're a female celebrity. I didn't even have a chance to really look at you last time at the Gu family's place. Your face is so delicate, like a porcelain doll, it looks like it could break at the slightest touch!"
Ming Jiayi gave Xie Leying an awkward yet polite smile, completely unaware of the hidden meaning in Xie Leying's words.
She politely replied, "Thank you, I think you look just like a porcelain doll."
Xie Leying looked up and gave Ming Jiayi a fake smile.
Did Ming Jiayi genuinely not understand the implication, or did she understand but use the other woman's words to deliver a sarcastic remark?
"No, my face is just ordinary, nothing like yours, so delicate and exquisitely sculpted... No wonder Dr. Lin didn't like me at first sight..."
Ming Jiayi frowned, realizing the hidden meaning in Xie Leying's words.
What does "golden carving and jade carving" mean?
And the porcelain doll from earlier...
Does that mean she had good plastic surgery?
Damn it.
Ming Jiayi gently touched her little face, then switched to her "green tea" mode.
"No, not at all. I'm usually quite rough around the edges; I don't use skincare products much. Look how dry my cheeks are..."
"But your face is so lovely, full of collagen, I'm so envious! What skincare brands do you usually use? Could you recommend some?"
Mo Xing blocked Chen Jing and Jiang Yisong's way, standing blankly at the door listening to Ming Jiayi speak.
As soon as she heard Ming Jiayi's sarcastic tone, she knew that Ming Jiayi was indulging in her acting habit again. But the question was, who was the blind fool who had stirred up her drama queen's acting habit?
Xie Leying paused.
Ming Jiayi indeed heard the sarcasm in her voice.
"Oh? Really?" Xie Leying asked sweetly. "I don't use skincare products much. My skin has been like this since I was born... But Jiayi, if you don't wear makeup, your skin is definitely better than mine."
Ming Jiayi looked at Xie Leying with a feigned unhappy expression.
"Oh...didn't you just say your face wasn't as delicate as mine? Turns out you were just trying to flatter me...but it's true, your face does look more like a needle than mine."
Mo Xing covered her mouth and chuckled secretly, then suddenly chimed in, "Jiayi, are you praising this beautiful young lady for having such a delicate and small face?"
Ming Jiayi nodded and continued, "Of course. By the way, Dr. Lin just mentioned that you used to work abroad. Do you know any good cosmetic surgeons or plastic surgeons?"
"Hey, Jiayi, you're not made of iron, why are you going to see a plastic surgeon?" Mo Xing said, pretending to be a little worried.
"No, I mainly wanted to know if this doctor knew any plastic surgeons. I think it turned out quite well," Ming Jiayi replied earnestly.
Xie Leying smiled faintly, pursing her lips, and said in her sweet, coquettish voice,
"I'm sorry, I didn't study the medical aesthetics field, so I'm not very clear on that."
"I'm already overwhelmed with all the cardiac surgery stuff I've been studying. I put in so much effort when I was preparing for my postgraduate entrance exam, unlike you entertainers who just need to be pretty."
Ming Jiayi gave a cold smile.
So, did this backfire on the appearance attack and they shifted their focus to work-related issues?
Chen Jing scratched his head and stepped forward to answer in a simple-minded manner.
"Entertainers aren't just about being beautiful. Dr. Xie, I think you might have some misunderstandings about the entertainment profession."
Xie Leying blinked her big eyes, looking confused and a little apologetic, and said...
"Ah... I really don't know much about the entertainment industry... I see that Ms. Ming often appears on various social media platforms, so I mistakenly thought that she just takes photos every day. I'm sorry."
"Huh? You follow Jiayi? How do you know she frequently appears on various social media platforms?" Mo Xing asked with a grin.
Xie Leying lowered her head in embarrassment, and stammered her reply.
"No, I've only seen it once or twice by chance."
Mo Xing looked at Xie Leying with some suspicion, then gave a meaningful "Oh".
"While it's true that she's good at taking photos, it's just one of her many jobs. She has a lot of other work to do," Chen Jing replied with a serious expression.
Jiang Yisong pushed up his glasses and said to Chen Jing in a serious tone, "Enough of that, filming is the priority."
Xie Leying lowered her head and replied with a pitiful expression, "I'm sorry, it's my fault..."
Chen Jing scratched his head, somewhat at a loss for words, and replied, "Uh...it's nothing...don't cry."
Ming Jiayi turned her head and exchanged a glance with Mo Xing, then both of them couldn't help but shake their heads and smile softly.
Xie Leying pretended to burst into tears immediately, but Mo Xing said very quickly,
"No time to cry. Director Chen, we only have three days to film in the hospital. If we don't hurry, we might not be able to finish filming."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jing immediately realized what was happening. He glanced back at Jiang Yisong, who was carrying a camera, and then awkwardly spoke to Xie Leying.
"I'm sorry, I apologize for my somewhat impolite tone just now, but could you please stop crying for a moment and wipe away your tears?"
Xie Leying's face froze instantly. She had lived most of her life and had never heard of such a request before!
Chen Jing lowered his head and said again, somewhat humbly,
"I'm so sorry, please. We need to record the two teaching assistants' self-introductions before we can proceed with the rest of the filming. You'll be busy later, so..."
Mo Xing stood to the side, covering her mouth and chuckling. It was truly the first time she had ever heard someone make such a request.
Yu Jianyan glanced at the aggrieved Xie Leying, then volunteered and said,
"Take my picture first, I'm in great shape, let her take a break."
Chen Jing's gaze shifted to Yu Jianyan, who replied with a beaming smile, "Okay, okay, thank you, Dr. Yu."
"fine."
Just a few days ago, when the hospital director agreed to Chen Jing's request, Chen Jing had already conducted an on-site inspection of the hospital, so he now knows exactly where each of his shots will be filmed.
