Chapter 958: Being Driven Away
"She’s just a country girl, and I couldn’t care less about knowing her," she said, claiming to be unfamiliar, but her tone changed as she began to speak ill of Shen Mianmian, "She is nothing but a thief, a robber, with a terrible reputation. She goes around seducing other people’s fiancés. If you hire her for your film, it won’t be long before her scandals come to light, and your movie might not even get a chance to be released." "Miss Cheng, you can eat whatever you want, but you cannot speak carelessly," Lu Nian’s face darkened, "Choosing my actors is my personal affair and has nothing to do with Miss Cheng. Please do not disturb our work."
Shen Mianmian had enrolled in Beijing University as the top student of her province, even the teachers at the school held her in high esteem.
Having been in society for many years, Lu Nian had seen many people and naturally would not doubt someone’s character just because of what others said; he trusted his own eyes.
Unexpectedly, he had to dismiss someone; with so many people present, Cheng Xining felt humiliated and her face flushed with embarrassment, "Lu Nian, I called you Director Lu and agreed to act in your film as a favor to you. Don’t think I’m actually keen on it."
"Miss Cheng, if you don’t leave now, I will have to have you removed," Lu Nian said.
Cheng Xining was nearly furious, glared fiercely at Lu Nian, and turned to leave.
Shen Mianmian, always Shen Mianmian, always snatching what was hers. She couldn’t swallow her pride.
Elsewhere.
Unaware that Cheng Xining had gone to see Lu Nian, Shen Mianmian was just sitting on the bus going back with Yang Xiaoxi, who had just come to her senses after Ruan Lingyu’s words. She found the whole situation as unbelievable as a dream.
"Mianmian, did you already know she was your mother?"
