Ling Lan had always tried various ways to get close to him, but in the end, she just added him on WeChat out of courtesy.

Xu Lizhi never replied to any of her messages other than those about filming.

The closest the two had been was two days ago, when I was riding in Xu Lizhi's car.

At that time, Ling Lan thought she saw hope and suppressed her excitement.

But the result is——

When the car reaches the next intersection.

Xu Lizhi got out of the car without saying a word, got into a Bentley parked on the side of the road, and drove away.

She was left sitting alone in the car, awkwardly, staring at Xu Lizhi's assistant.

The assistant was also startled for a moment by Xu Lizhi's actions, but reacted quickly and politely asked her where she was going and offered to give her a ride.

Ling Lan managed to maintain her facial expression and answered.

Then he leaned back in his seat, his palms covered in cold sweat.

She has always been smart and can read people's expressions.

Therefore, she clearly felt that Xu Lizhi had aversion towards her.

To be precise, I am disgusted by her behavior.

Because Ling Lan lied to Xu Lizhi—

Long before the study session began, she lied that the original candidate for the fifth female role in the drama "Glory Family" was her sister, Ling Ting. But she didn't expect that someone would intervene and snatch it away.

Because when the news that Jiang Mingxin had chosen the mysterious fifth female role came out within the crew, it was hotly discussed. The key point was that no one knew who this person was, and no one had heard of any audition records. In the end, they all concluded that this person must be an "airborne soldier."

So, Ling Lan followed the trend and said things in a way that was both explicit and implicit, indicating that her sister had been framed by the "Airborne Troops".

In fact, she just wanted to use this matter to create a topic between the two of them, so as to pretend to be a caring and gentle sister who loves her sister in front of Xu Lizhi, trying to get a reply from Xu Lizhi. It would be even better if she could get a word of comfort.

As for who the fifth female is or what happens to her, she doesn't care.

At that time, she sent Xu Lizhi a video clip of Ling Ting performing in a sitcom at the film school.

At the same time, he said: "Brother, can you do me a favor? Take a look, is there anything that Xiaoting did not do well? Can you point it out specifically? I can talk to her later and let her think about it carefully. Alas, she lost the fifth female role in Director Jiang's new drama for no reason, and she was so sad that she locked herself in her room for a whole day. 】

In fact, Ling Ting is not as talented in acting as Ling Lan. She chose to enter the entertainment industry because she likes the feeling of being sought after and praised highly, so her acting skills are actually just mediocre.

The video that Ling Lan sent to Xu Lizhi was a finished product that Ling Ting managed to produce after countless rehearsals, after she pissed off ten acting teachers.

People who don’t know the inside story will take a look at it and think, well, it’s not bad.

So, Xu Lizhi became the uninformed person.

Although his attitude was still cold at the time, since it was about filming, he simply replied to Ling Lan.

Ling Lan was overjoyed and immediately replied: [Thank you, Senior Brother. Perhaps Xiao Ting is still a little incompetent. I guess the person who made Director Jiang change his mind temporarily is more outstanding. I will ask her to work harder.]

She said this generously, but there was still a hint of grievance in her tone. The rumor about the fifth female being a paratrooper was already getting stronger and stronger, and the words "even better" suddenly sounded extra ironic.

Then, immediately after the study session, the fifth girl revealed——

It’s Sheng Yuan.

That 18th-tier vase female star who is full of scandals.

There is Ling Ting's 'not bad' video for comparison.

It indirectly led to.

Sheng Yuan, the only one who actually won the role of the fifth female lead, saw her impression score in Xu Lizhi drop by more than half in an instant.

It would be fine if he didn't have acting skills, but it's not the same thing as taking on a job without the necessary skills and getting involved in shady dealings.

He has absolutely no principles as an actor.

Moreover, he was late for the first day's script reading session.

Even though she said afterwards that she was deceived by others, Xu Lizhi, who had already formed a prejudice against Sheng Yuan, subconsciously thought that she was deceived by others.

No brains at all.

How can someone without brains make a good movie?

All of these things hit Xu Lizhi's sore spot, and he no longer had any good feelings towards Sheng Yuan at all.

And Ling Lan.

At the study session, I saw Xu Lizhi, who always had a cold attitude, embarrass Sheng Yuan in front of everyone.

She looked calm on the outside, but she was suddenly surprised and excited in her heart.

She was naive and foolish, thinking that Xu Lizhi did this to help his sister and to help her in disguise.

So, after the study session ended, she boldly stopped Xu Lizhi's car, thinking that she could finally get one step closer.

But she was too arrogant. She started to use Sheng Yuan as a tool in the car again, preparing to do the same thing to gain sympathy in front of Xu Lizhi.

Anyway, what does it matter if Sheng Yuan is misunderstood? She is just a little-known character, so it won't matter even if she is offended.

But this time, Xu Lizhi directly made her wake up from her dream.

I explained to him the reason why I did this in an almost cold and heartless manner, and he was simply looking at the matter from the strict standards of an actor.

It wasn't because of her at all, she was just being self-indulgent.

Ling Lan's face immediately turned red and white, looking ugly.

After that, she was thrown directly into the car.

The man with silver-gray eyes glanced over before getting off the car and leaving.

Ling Lan felt instantly uneasy, as if her shameful little thoughts had been seen through, and she felt cold all over.

Only then did she realize—

Xu Lizhi was not as easy to control as she imagined.

Yes, even though he didn't like Sheng Yuan's 'parachute attack', he was also annoyed by people who played tricks in front of him.

This is an explicit statement, but also a disguised warning.

…

After returning, Ling Lan overturned all her previous fantasies about Xu Lizhi overnight.

I started to be cautious and humble in my attitude and no longer dared to act rashly in front of him.

I thought that once the drama officially starts filming, I would be able to gain more favor in the days that follow.

No, it's not a good impression. I just feel lucky to be able to talk to him occasionally and to earn the favor of a colleague in the crew.

But.

She has a stupid sister, Ling Ting.

Regardless of whether Sheng Yuan really took the wrong path or was just pretending to take the wrong path, this matter is very suspicious.

But right now, it’s none of their business and it’s not their turn to take care of it.

But Ling Ting bore a grudge against Sheng Yuan, and her mind went haywire. She didn't care about anything and started to scold her mindlessly whenever she got the chance.

That sarcastic look makes people feel uncomfortable no matter how they look at it.

Now Ling Ting represents more than just herself.
