"Xi Ruo?"
Hearing someone call her name, Bai Xiruo looked in the direction of the voice.
"Auntie?"
Bai Xiruo was slightly surprised to see Han Yaxin, but then she remembered that Nie Siqi seemed to be filming a group scene in the studio next door, and she immediately understood.
Bai Xiruo had always known that Han Yaxin was vain, selfish, and power-hungry. Ever since she learned that Han Yaxin was not a daughter of the Bai family, she had not been as kind to her as before.
Moreover, she was well aware of what Han Yaxin was planning.
Han Yaxin has never been as good as Han Songyan since childhood. The man she married was not only a good-for-nothing who was lazy and good-for-nothing, but also often had affairs.
Han Songyan is not only more beautiful than her, but also an internationally renowned pianist, and her husband is rich and devoted.
Therefore, Han Yaxin was actually quite resentful and even a little jealous of her own older sister.
Bai Xiruo had long seen through Han Yaxin's true nature. She originally thought that they could keep to themselves and pretend to be polite.
But recently she heard that Han Yaxin had been trying to contact the Li family in private, and even deliberately arranged for Nie Siqi to "accidentally" meet Li Yushu.
He sneered inwardly, thinking they were nothing more than a pair of cheapskate mother and daughter. If it weren't for the Bai family as their backing, who would take them seriously?
"It really is you! I almost didn't recognize you in your ancient costume." Han Yaxin walked over with a smile.
His gaze swept over Bai Xiruo: "The female lead is really something else. This outfit is so much prettier than the maid's."
Han Yaxin tried everything she could to get Nie Siqi into the "The Phoenix's Journey" production team, but she was powerless and no one was willing to give her face.
In addition, the production team of "The Splendor of the Brocade" was very wealthy, and Director Cui was a very strict person when it came to selecting actors.
So, in the end, with no other choice, Han Yaxin could only run to Han Songyan in tears to play the victim.
Han Songyan was annoyed by the noise and had no choice but to agree to help Nie Siqi get a role.
The main actors were all personally selected by Director Cui, and they couldn't be easily replaced, so Nie Siqi ended up getting a maid with only a few scenes.
Han Yaxin is narrow-minded and extremely jealous. She believes that Han Songyan simply doesn't want to help and deliberately had the production team give her a low-class maid role to appease her and her daughter.
Han Song-yeon's own two daughters, one is the female lead and the other is the fourth female lead, which has generated a lot of discussion.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and his tone when speaking to Bai Xiruo became slightly sarcastic.
"Auntie, does Sister Siqi have a chance to perform today?" Bai Xiruo maintained her gentle smile, as if she hadn't noticed Han Yaxin's sarcasm at all.
"They're filming a group scene with some maids on another set, it's not worth watching at all. Xi Ruo, I'm not saying anything bad about your mother, but Si Qi is her own niece, don't you think she's being too biased?"
"Not only did they get you the lead role, but they also got Bai Qianmo the fourth lead role, yet they only gave Siqi a maid role. How long will it take for her to become famous playing a maid?"
Han Yaxin has a loud voice, and her words drew curious glances from those around her.
Bai Xiruo looked a little embarrassed: "Auntie, let's go to my dressing room and talk slowly. You may have some misunderstanding about my mother."
She was worried that Han Yaxin might blurt out the Bai family's affairs, so she hurriedly took Han Yaxin to her private dressing room.
Seeing this clean and tidy dressing room made Han Yaxin feel even worse.
Because Nie Siqi only took on a minor maid who had appeared on screen a few times, she couldn't even get into the public dressing room.
In comparison, he felt even more dissatisfied with Han Songyan.
Bai Xiruo poured Han Yaxin a glass of water: "Auntie, have some water first."
Han Yaxin glanced at Bai Xiruo indifferently, curled her lips and snorted coldly: "I wouldn't dare let a leading lady like you serve tea and water to my maid's mother."
Now that they were not in public, Han Yaxin didn't even need to pretend.
Bai Xiruo's fingers, which were holding the water glass, stiffened. Suppressing a hint of displeasure, she placed the paper glass on the dressing table beside her.
"Auntie, you've really misunderstood my mom. She didn't want Qianmo to enter the entertainment industry. Actually, my mom originally wanted Siqi to try out for the fourth female lead role, but Qianmo beat her to it."
Han Yaxin frowned: "Your mother doesn't want Qianmo to enter the entertainment industry?"
"Yes, you may not have heard, but when my mom found out that Qianmo had taken on the role of the fourth female lead, she was furious and even pressured the production team to replace her. Now, it's very likely that the role of the fourth female lead will be recast."
Han Yaxin remained silent, her hands clasped tightly together on her lap.
So, if Bai Qianmo's role is replaced, does Siqi still have a chance?
Han Yaxin's face immediately softened, and she affectionately took Bai Xiruo's hand.
"Xi Ruo, now that you're the female lead, your words carry weight with the director. Your sister Si Qi has always been closest to you since childhood, so you'd better put in a good word for her with the director this time."
Bai Xiruo sneered inwardly, but outwardly appeared obedient and sensible.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Helping Sister Siqi is what I should do."
If Bai Xi wanted to appease Han Yaxin and shut her up, whether she would speak to the director was another matter entirely.
Han Yaxin, on the other hand, was thinking of using Bai Xiruo's connection to find a good role for Nie Siqi while the filming had just begun.
Both of them wore a sly, conspiratorial smile...

The car was parked on the side of the road not far from the filming location of "The Splendor of the Countryside".
Bai Qianmo thanked Gu Jueye and then prepared to get out of the car.
