Chapter 770 - She Felt Like Vomiting Blood After Being Humiliated By Her In Public
Jing Xi decided to play dumb. “Oh really? How come I did not feel it?”
“…”
After being undermined by Jing Xi, Xu Xinrou shot her a look. She really wanted to ask her: What the hell was she was talking about?
Didn’t she know that to promote the new drama, it was necessary to show that they had a good relationship in front of the media?
One of the reporters recalled what had happened to Jing Xi last time and spoke out for her. “Xu Xinrou, you say that you have a good relationship with Jing Xi? I remember that during the time when Director Huang was still shooting the drama ‘Red Sleeved Beauty,’ you kicked Jing Xi until her body entered shock, right?”
What the reporter meant was it was shameless of Xu Xinrou to say that they are in a good relationship after kicking Jing Xi and causing her to enter a shock. Does she think that they are so blind to believe that?
There were also reporters with even more sharp questions. “Xu Xinrou, back then you said that you were going to marry the eldest son of the Huo family. How come it did not happen? Are you jealous now that your sister is married to Mr. Huo Yunshen?”
“Of course not! Could you all please ask something related to the new drama!?” Xu Xinrou answered awkwardly and forced a smile on her face. She really looked embarrassed.
Since she told them to ask about the new drama, one of the reporters asked, “I heard that you’ve gotten the first female lead role in this movie because the production team had already decided on it internally before the audition even happened, is that true?”
“…”
She knew that she shouldn’t have mentioned this topic…
Xu Xinrou had shot herself in the foot. No matter what was being discussed, the outcome would be very unfavorable to her.
But if she did not answer, Jing Xi could help answer in her stead!
Jing Xi wrapped an arm around Xu Xinrou’s shoulder, smiling as she explained to the reporter, “Oh, I know the answer to this one. Let me answer for my sister. Regarding whether my sister had earned the first female lead role with her own skills… it was not possible. But my sister is good at using her beauty and wisdom, so it is not difficult for her to get whatever role she wants. My sister is really impressive!”
“…” Xu Xinrou simply felt like vomiting blood 10,000 times. What the hell is she talking about?
Why is that filthy mouth of hers so despicable?
Xu Xinrou felt like exploding in anger after being humiliated in front of the reporters by Jing Xi. She had no choice but to swallow down her anger and smile at the cameras helplessly.
Fortunately, her new assistant, Mou Ling, was a woman who was much smarter than Fan Tong. She had more situational awareness and promptly came forward to free her from her awkwardness.
“Thank you for your hard work everyone, but Xinrou has to do her makeup now and has to leave for a while. Please take a break, Xinrou has prepared coffee and snacks for all of you. Please come with me!”
After the reporters were successfully led away, Xu Xinrou breathed a deep sigh of relief, then turned toward Xu Xiyan and glared at her icily. She said, with hatred in her voice, “Don’t think that you can humiliate me in front of the reporters and give me a bad name. If you have the ability, come fight me with your acting skills and talents. Don’t play such dirty tricks with me anymore!”
Xu Xinrou had always been confident in her acting skills and they were recognized in the entertainment circle.
Right now, she was not better than Xu Xiyan in other aspects, but when it came to acting, she would definitely blow her out of the water.
Xu Xiyan curved her lips into a faint smile. “Is this a challenge from Senior Xu? Sure, I accept. We shall see who is the better actor in this drama!”
Xu Xinrou returned to her station. The makeup artists, stylists, costumers, and other staff came over to do her makeup.
Xu Xinrou’s assistant, Mou Ling, was distributing drinks to everyone from a bag. One by one, those staff members and minor actors whose hearts had been won over by her favor came over to thank and flatter her.
She felt as though everyone was worshipping her, as though she had returned to the time when she was the brightest star of Juxing whom everyone admired and respected. She was brimming with pride.
Xu Xiyan returned to her station too. Her assistant Wandou came over with a stool and a cup of water. Xu Xiyan sat down and took the cup of water and thanked her.
Nobody knew whether this was a coincidence or a deliberate act, but when Mou Ling came over to Xu Xiyan and Wandou to distribute drinks, there were no more drinks left for them.
