The director's wife's surname is Bai, and out of respect for her, everyone in the crew calls her Miss Bai.
This Miss Bai looked completely innocent, as if she hadn't meant any harm by asking Xia Chuyue if she was President Jin's mistress; she was simply curious about entertainment gossip.
Having been in the industry for so long, how could Xia Chuyue not see the mocking malice on her face?
Xia Chuyue's face turned cold, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered, her expression indifferent.
But inwardly, he roared:
[This was definitely aimed at me! This Miss Bai is quite skilled; no wonder she's surnamed Bai, she's really impressive!]
The celebrities present, who could hear Xia Chuyue's innermost thoughts, paused in their steps as they headed back to the dressing room, abruptly changed direction, and then turned back.
"Haha, the dressing room is a bit crowded, so I'll just sit here and eat."
"Me too, it's more fun to eat together!"
"Come on, I was just looking for someone to talk to, otherwise eating alone is a bit boring!"
The celebrities, eager to watch the spectacle, quickly secured prime spots to enjoy the gossip, munching on their food while secretly keeping an eye on the two at the center of the drama.
Director Xia Chuan's expression had been extremely unnatural ever since Miss Bai brought him bread.
He didn't know how to face his wife, nor did he dare to ask for confirmation. He sat alone behind the camera, silently smoking with his head down.
Normally, Miss Bai, being the understanding and empathetic one, would have gently stepped forward to inquire and softly comfort her husband's worries.
But at that moment, Miss Bai was busy finding fault with Xia Chuyue and didn't notice her husband's strange behavior at all.
Perhaps in her mind, Xia Chuan was someone who was very easy to coax, so she didn't care much.
Seeing that Xia Chuyue did not answer, Miss Bai asked again, feigning ignorance.
"Chuyue? Why aren't you saying anything? Surely I didn't guess it right away?"
After saying that, Miss Bai covered her lips, as if she had said something she shouldn't have.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I was just a little curious. It's definitely fake. I believe Chuyue would never do such a thing."
Xia Chuyue's breath hitched slightly.
[Here it comes! This damn innocent-looking style, you weren't taught this green tea bitch course with my fake sister, were you?!]
"You should get your head checked."
Xia Chuyue offered her sincere advice, her eyes widening slightly as she looked very serious.
"What?"
Miss Bai didn't follow Xia Chuyue's train of thought.
Xia Chuyue showed no impatience and kindly answered her questions:
"If you can't even tell the truth from this kind of smear campaign, I recommend you go to Anxin Hospital and see Dr. Zhu. He is a neurology expert."
[Specializing in studying psychopaths like you!]
The other celebrities at the scene, holding their boxed lunches, quickly covered their slightly twitching facial expressions, which showed they wanted to laugh but dared not.
In private gossip chat groups, quite a few girls have already started sending clapping emojis.
[Well said! The smell of green tea is so strong, I'm almost throwing up!]
[Xia Chuyue truly lives up to her reputation as a woman who survived a massive online backlash; her strong will commands our respect!]
[Good, good, that feels good!]
Several straight male actors didn't understand and felt that Xia Chuyue's words were too harsh, so they frowned and defended Miss Bai several times.
[Miss Bai didn't do it on purpose, did she? Why is Xia Chuyue so temperamental? No wonder she has so many haters.]
[It was just one wrong sentence, and Miss Bai has already apologized.]
However, they were quickly silenced by the female celebrities' memes and became too shy to stand out anymore.
I dare not speak for anything else, but among female celebrities, their "tea-tasting" skills are absolutely top-notch!
You know, when they first entered this circle, they all suffered at the hands of these green tea bitches to some extent. Seeing Xia Chuyue's straightforward rebuke, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
Miss Bai seemed surprised that Xia Chuyue would directly confront her, and she looked somewhat embarrassed, her tone no longer as gentle as before.
Stiff opening:
"I didn't notice before, but Chuyue, how could you say that to me? I didn't mean to."
With a gloomy face, Miss Bai pouted and ran to her husband for comfort.
"Honey, look at Chuyue. It's all my fault. I didn't understand the situation and hurt Chuyue's feelings."
In the past, Director Xia Chuan would have been heartbroken to see the aggrieved and hurt expression on his wife's face.
Even if he doesn't target Xia Chuyue on set later, as the director, he certainly won't let this go, and it's inevitable that he'll make things difficult for Xia Chuyue.
But now…
Director Xia Chuan glanced at Xia Chuyue in the corner, their eyes meeting in a clear and cold gaze.
Then, Xia Chuyue's inner voice rang out:
[The director is such a love-struck fool; he's completely outmaneuvered by this 'white lotus'!]
[While Bai Lianhua was baking bread for you this morning, she was actually having sex with another man at the same time. She even said it would be more exciting that way!]
[The man having the affair was worried that her husband would come back, but the naive woman said her husband was a workaholic and would never come back during the day.]
This wasn't the first time she'd done something like this, and the scheming woman seemed to particularly enjoy the thrill of adultery, confident she could keep it a secret from her husband forever.
Director Xia Chuan's mind went completely blank for a moment.
He stood there, staring blankly at the camera, and for a moment the world around him fell silent.
The other celebrities exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a shared excitement at the spectacle.
Wow, what an exciting story!
Luckily, they didn't go back to the dressing room to eat!
Miss Bai was still tugging at the director's sleeve, trying to get him to listen to her.
But as the director watched her mouth open and close, a thought suddenly popped into his head.
Has that mouth of hers, always uttering sweet words, already kissed countless men?
The director, who was already a germaphobe, suddenly felt nauseous.
He really wanted to vomit, but looking at the two children standing beside him, looking at him with their innocent, round eyes, the director managed to hold it in.
The director clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes briefly.
"Go back first, don't cause trouble on set."
Miss Bai was completely incredulous, her eyes widening in shock, her face flushing with shame and indignation.
"You...you actually said I was causing trouble?"
Miss Bai suddenly turned her head and looked at Xia Chuyue in the corner, her chest heaving.
"You drove me away for this woman?!"
Xia Chuyue opened her eyes, looked up, and exclaimed in confusion.
