A pair of peach blossom eyes shimmered with a deep blue light. Despite it being their first meeting, the person in front of her gazed at Lin Yang with tender affection.
Lin Yang felt quite uncomfortable watching this, and the corners of her mouth, which had been smiling, drooped slightly.
Fortunately, her expectations didn't sink too low. Her looks were good enough to rank her among the top in the industry, which made her, a person who values appearance, very satisfied.
The phrase "a gentleman of refined manners and gentle grace" perfectly describes the person before me.
"Hello, you haven't introduced yourself yet, have you? I'm Chu Yu, and I play the second male lead in 'Dynasty'." Chu Yu smiled and extended his right hand to introduce himself, while his left middle finger habitually pushed up his slipping glasses.
The lenses were neither too thin nor too thick, and they even shimmered in the sunlight, perfect for concealing the fleeting cunning beneath.
"I am Lin Yang, nice to meet you." Lin Yang politely extended her slender hand, grasping only four of Chu Yu's fingers. Her gesture was polite yet measured, the perfect handshake etiquette.
The weather was hot, and to avoid sweating, the two exchanged a knowing smile and released each other's hands.
The two greeted each other in a warm and harmonious atmosphere, and just as they were about to say goodbye, an uninvited guest arrived and ruined the mood.
"Hey, isn't this our leading lady, Lin Yang? What? You haven't even greeted Brother Xu yet, but you're already greeting this young heartthrob? It seems like the rumors about you being an old cow eating young grass are true after all?" Every word was barbed, and the tone was so disdainful that it was completely undisguised. Even a fool could guess who was saying this.
Turning around and forcing a polite smile again, Lin Yang ignored Nie Wei's unpleasant words and said, "Hello, Sister Wei, I was just about to go and say hello to you."
Even if others are impolite, you still have to be polite, right?
"Hello, Sister Wei." Chu Yu also greeted Nie Wei politely, keeping his head down and not daring to look directly at the scantily clad Nie Wei standing in front of him.
With her eye-catching heavy makeup and super short skirt, Nie Wei walked with a swagger, completely unafraid of exposing herself.
She wore a dark green cropped tank top, and her impressive cleavage was completely exposed by the amount of fabric.
Nie Wei's hot outfit seemed to be telling everyone that she was very afraid of the heat, but in reality, she was flirting wildly with the edge of running naked.
Nie Wei had no interest in dealing with a nobody like Chu Yu. Her mocking gaze was fixed on Lin Yang, and her words were still sarcastic, "If you don't deny it, then you admit it? Since you call me Sister Wei, then I have to take on the responsibility of a senior and give you a good reminder. They say that women in their thirties are as thirsty as wolves, but you also have to be careful not to overstep your bounds, right?"
Hey sis? Who the hell is thirty? I'm only twenty-eight and you're rounding me up to thirty? You're thirty-five, why don't you round it up to forty?
Lin Yang couldn't help but grind her back teeth in anger, her eyelids twitching.
This is intolerable! When it comes to age issues, I'm throwing all pretense of politeness away!
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then slowly exhaled, maintaining her composure. She then resumed her acting duties.
"Yes, Sister Wei is my senior, and she's also the spoiled second female lead in this drama. Of course, I have to humbly learn from Sister Wei's acting skills and ask her how she managed to portray the second female lead even before filming started." Lin Yang's tone was extremely humble, and after speaking, she didn't forget to show a look of longing and thirst for knowledge to complement her words that were full of barbs.
Lin Yang is the kind of person who likes to say one thing to one person and another to another. When it comes to someone like Nie Wei who speaks in a sarcastic and ambiguous way, she has no choice but to use her own principles—to fight fire with fire.
If you make me unhappy, I'll make you even more unhappy.
Having worked in the industry for so many years, Lin Yang knows one thing well: compromising will only lead to more blatant abuse.
Upon hearing the first half, Nie Wei genuinely believed that Lin Yang was going to flatter her like the other juniors, and a smug smile was about to spread across her face.
But as he heard the second half of the sentence, he felt something was off, and his smile slowly and unnaturally faded.
After thinking about it carefully for a long time, he finally realized that Lin Yang was mocking him for being arrogant and rude like the second female lead, and for having no manners whatsoever.
She had spent so many nights working hard with Producer Zhang, only to end up with an unlikable princess role, which had always been a thorn in Nie Wei's side.
Now that Lin Yang has deliberately brought it up, it's no wonder he's angry.
"You!" Nie Wei was furious. Her heavy makeup smudged and became a horrifying mess, completely ruining her beauty.
He raised his hand, ready to slap Lin Yang's delicate face.
Lin Yang didn't move, but tilted her head to the right, maintaining a perfect distance to avoid the still-sweating hand.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yu, who was standing next to her, stepped in first and quickly blocked the slap for her.
Damn it! Isn't this forcing me to owe someone a favor?
Lin Yang's lips, which were about to curl into a confident smile because she had perfectly avoided the situation, suddenly froze.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to stop me? Believe me or not, I can make sure you can't survive in this industry with just one word. You better let go right now!" Nie Wei was utterly shocked that someone dared to stop her, especially since it was a newcomer she didn't even consider worthy of her attention.
Chu Yu remained silent, his head bowed the entire time, and the force he applied to his hands looked quite strong.
Otherwise, Nie Wei wouldn't have struggled for so long to break free, and the force restraining her wrists wouldn't have diminished even slightly.
"What's your name? If you really don't want to live anymore, hurry up and tell me your name. Do you think I'm not capable of replacing a small fry like you? You just wait!" Nie Wei's arrogant words were endless. Seeing that she couldn't break free, she took out her phone from her pocket with her other hand and opened her contacts.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and Lin Yang seized the opportunity to speak up before Nie Wei could make the call.
