"Alright, now that everyone has received theirs, let's give the rest to the cleaning lady on set."
Lin Ruru, who had stood up expectantly, could only sit back down on the steps after hearing this.
Feeling a little disappointed and embarrassed, he scratched his head at Jiang Nian and whispered, "Niannian, it seems I was overthinking it. There really isn't one for us."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nian stood up a second later, frowned coldly at Ji Yuwei, and asked, "Why didn't you give Ruru milk tea?"
Lin Ruru never expected that Jiang Nian would stand up and ask for it for her.
She gasped, startled, and quickly grabbed her, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, I won't drink it. Niannian, sit down quickly."
Jiang Nian's reaction was exactly what Ji Yuwei wanted.
She immediately raised her chin and smiled slightly: "Young lady, this milk tea is for the crew members. Your tablemate is just a temporary stand-in, and she hasn't done any work today."
"What, you're paid 10,000 yuan a day, and it's not enough to mooch lunches from the crew? Now you want to mooch milk tea too?"
"People should have some self-awareness and recognize their own status and position."
"Furthermore, you high school girls are at the age where you love to follow celebrities. Not to mention, your deskmate might bring up the fact that she took the milk tea when she gets back to school."
"Anything even remotely related to Actor Ji can be sold for a high price. I trust the crew, but judging from your classmate's situation, I'm worried she might resell the milk tea cup..."
As Ji Yuwei spoke, she looked Lin Ruru, who was dressed simply, up and down.
These words, though seemingly casual, are deeply hurtful and damaging to one's self-esteem.
Lin Ruru felt incredibly uncomfortable being stared at by everyone; her face burned with embarrassment.
Her face paled, and she clutched the hem of her clothes, biting her lip. "I... I wouldn't do that kind of thing, I just..."
"I think you're the one who lacks self-awareness," Jiang Nian said coldly, standing in front of Ji Yuwei without moving an inch.
"What do you mean by that?" Ji Yuwei's smile vanished.
To save face, he took a deep breath and kept smiling.
“Hey little sister, you don’t have to take it out on me for not getting the milk tea. There wasn’t any for you guys in the first place.”
"If your deskmate really wants it, he can ask the cleaning lady if she wants some, or he can take the cup back after she finishes drinking it."
Should we pick up the cup and put it back?
It's just a cup of milk tea, this is a bit insulting.
Everyone present felt that Ji Yuwei had gone too far. However, considering that Ji Yuwei had lost her leading role precisely because of Jiang Nian's previous suggestion, it was understandable that she was angry with the two girls, so no one spoke up for them.
However, just then, another voice suddenly rang out at the entrance of the film set: "—Ah, sorry, sorry! I forgot two of the drinks earlier."
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw the deliveryman who had just come by carrying an insulated bag, looking around at the order and asking questions.
"Excuse me, are Miss Jiang Nian and Miss Lin Ruru here?"
"Mr. Ji Yubai has ordered two strawberry milkshakes and a dessert for you. Please come and get them."
