Chapter 35
When Ling Sheng was done bathing, Huo Ci was no longer there.
Early the next morning, she received consecutive and urgent calls from Mei Xuelin, who was informing her about the change in the contract terms. In the afternoon, she went to the filming site.
When Gu Shen saw her, the look in his eyes changed completely. There was no longer any attempt to conceal his disdain, and it was obvious that he underestimated her to the utmost degree, as he viewed her as a vain and materialistic girl.
Ever since the video leak incident, Luo Xin had not bothered acting in front of others anymore and had been totally indifferent with regard to her.
With the exception of Li Chuan and Shang Jiaren, the rest of the actors and actresses took the side of the male and female lead, busying themselves with superficial greetings as a form of showing respect in hopes of making their life with her less miserable.
Although he was silly sometimes, Li Chuan had innocent intentions and sincerely wanted to become friends with her. The two of them were like brothers.
Ever since Shang Jiaren had found out she had a contract with the Huo Studio, she had been trying to obtain information from her indirectly regarding the way she had gotten in. Ling Sheng handled it by giving random answers.
However, she had been getting more and more outrageous in the past two days and had started to make weird claims about the presence of a wealthy supporter and being a mistress. She went ahead and guessed that since she had signed with the Huo Studio, the man providing for her had to be powerful and all that jazz.
Ling Sheng did not want to shed the pretense of cordiality. After all, filming would end in a week. Then, she would not see her anymore!
Shang Jiaren’s eyes looked sinister as her fist was balled up tightly. Upon seeing Ling Sheng enter the makeup room, she followed her.
When Ling Sheng had joined the filming crew, she had already known that the wealthy person behind her was not simple. After all, she was a high school dropout and a normal girl from a humble family with no influential background. Her sudden placement as the third female supporting actress in such a popular drama showed that someone had to be supporting her.
From then on, she had decided to get on Ling Sheng’s good side. Slowly, she would dig out the identity of this wealthy person. Then, she would resort to her tactics and beauty to seduce that wealthy person and make them subsequently kick Ling Sheng out.
Unfortunately, Ling Sheng was very tight-lipped about it. No matter what she did or asked, Ling Sheng had never once revealed the identity of this wealthy person, thus angering her. This exhausted her patience and made her decision to cut the pretense.
“Sheng Sheng.” Shang Jiaren walked toward Ling Sheng, who happened to be using her phone. Then, she massaged her shoulders to make her relax. Smiling gently, she asked, “Is not returning to your company good for you?”
“Quite good.” Ling Sheng’s body relaxed.
Ever since Shang Jiaren had found out that she was an artist managed by the Huo Studio, she had become more concerned and passionate about her affairs and had kept asking her if she was going back to her company every day.
“I wanted to tour your company. Does your Movie King boss go to work every day?” Shang Jiaren rolled her eyes, but her tone became gentler.
Shang Jiaren thought although that b*itch Ling Sheng was young, she had deep scheming motives. However, how could she not know about her schemes? Ling Sheng had to be afraid that Shang Jiaren’s contract with the Huo Studio would reduce the resources given to her, thus superseding her. She could not bear to see others in a better state than her.
“I don’t know,” Ling Sheng replied honestly.
Her stingy father had a lot of free time. He was a big boss who could take on a project when he felt like filming and rest when he did not want to film. He did not lack money anyway.
“What kind of woman do you think Senior Huo likes? He hasn’t gotten married so far. Does he even have a girlfriend?” Shang Jiaren’s eyes increasingly reflected more excitement.
As long as she could enter the Huo Studio, she was confident that she could seduce Huo Ci with her tactics. Ever since her debut, she had never been rejected once when it came to men she wanted.
Once she had Huo Ci, she would abandon the fat pig she had to meet and say lovey-dovey words to.

“I really don’t know.” Ling Sheng let out a cold laugh. Did this woman want to be her stepmother?
