Chapter 341: Chapter 336: Malicious Gaze Chapter 341: Chapter 336: Malicious Gaze “Very good! Shen Yan, there’s a part that needs so changes,” Director Li praised Shen Yan, who had just finished her scene, and then gestured for her to co over. Shen Yan imdiately walked briskly towards Director Li.
Just as Li Yanbai arrived, Director Li simply called him over as well.
Chu Jinghe glanced over at the group gathered around Director Li, her face wearing a stiff smile as she suppressed the resentnt in her heart and approached Jinchen, sowhat stiffly saying, “Jinchen.”
Her voice even sounded a bit aggrieved.
Jinchen frowned but didn’t offer comfort to Chu Jinghe imdiately as he used to. Seeing her behavior and that of Shen Yan, Jinchen only felt a wave of disappointnt.
He didn’t understand how the once skilful Chu Jinghe could have changed like this.
A feeling of irritation and disgust grew within him.
Realizing that this woman was his own choice, he took a deep breath and asked with perfunctory concern, “Are you very tired?”
Hearing Jinchen still cared about her, Chu Jinghe felt her nose tingle.
“Not very tired, it’s just that today’s filming didn’t go smoothly. Shen Yan changed so actions in the script without discussing it with us…” Chu Jinghe was trying to speak ill of Shen Yan to make her lose favor in Jinchen’s eyes.
Jinchen frowned upon hearing this.
Seeing his reaction, Chu Jinghe was about to say sothing when Jinchen said, “The action she changed made sense, and it added more tension to the scene.”
Chu Jinghe’s face turned pale in an instant.
It was one thing to tolerate it once or twice.
But it wasn’t the first ti Jinchen had acknowledged Shen Yan in front of her or stared blankly at Shen Yan.
Chu Jinghe, no matter how foolish, sensed sothing was amiss.
In fact, she had long felt that Jinchen was quite different towards Shen Yan; she was just deceiving herself.
Chu Jinghe stared resentfully towards Shen Yan; hatred caused her body to shiver.
“Yes, does that an Shen Yan is a good actress?” Chu Jinghe forced a smile, “It seems I need to improve my own acting skills and try to keep up with her. I’m so useless, not even able to catch up with Shen Yan. Jinchen, do you think I’m too stupid?”
Chu Jinghe’s display of vulnerability had a significant effect.
At least it made Jinchen turn so of his attention back to her.
“No, you are also good,” perhaps his conscience acted up, or he rembered he had been cold to his girlfriend, Jinchen spoke much more tenderly.
Facing Jinchen’s tender attention, Chu Jinghe no longer felt the initial joy or patience.
If Jinchen had fallen out of love…
Chu Jinghe knew what was to follow, including the company’s investnts and so secrets within the Mu Family.
In her past life, she had been a mber of the Mu Family.
In her mories, she had been in love with Jinchen for over a decade.
The Mu Family had been very kind to her, unlike this life where the Mu Family had shown outright disdain, everything had gone off track.
So, when Jinchen showed that kind of interest in Shen Yan, Chu Jinghe slowly began to hate him.
Hate that Jinchen could be attracted to a woman like Shen Yan when in her previous life it had been only her, indulging her every whim, doting on her. This life had started differently; certain scenes had just shattered.
Many connections couldn’t be made.
Initially hesitant about taking action, now Chu Jinghe had no doubts at all.
Shen Yan looked up from her position and suddenly fixated her gaze on Chu Jinghe.
Chu Jinghe felt her skin crawl under that stare.
By the ti she looked closely, Shen Yan had already joined Li Yanbai to discuss the upcoming scenes.
The next part was about the male and female leads’ scenes; their discussion together didn’t seem out of place.
Chu Jinghe smiled, “Shen Yan and Mr. Li seem really close, they appear to have been bonded from the start.”
Jinchen’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank.
Seeing the two of them together made him feel uncomfortable.
Staring at Mu Jincheng, Chu Jinghe noticed a change in his expression and narrowed her eyes, her feelings of resentnt and anger intensifying.
She had almost confird that Mu Jincheng harbored so unspeakable feelings toward Shen Yan.
The two gazes from behind her were too obvious, and Shen Yan was not made of stone; how could she possibly not notice?
This ti, she felt sothing different than before.
Especially one of the gazes, which was particularly jealous.
This was definitely not any friendly observation.
She knew it was Chu Jinghe.
Li Yanbai glanced at the two figures and whispered, “Before you ca over, President Mu pulled so strings to beef up the role for Chu Jinghe, this second female lead. Whether Director Li will keep those scenes remains to be seen.”
With Shen Yan there as a gem, Chu Jinghe’s performance seed even less impressive.
Upon comparison, Director Li would presumably know what to do.
Shen Yan nonchalantly remarked, “As long as they don’t cross into my territory, let them stir up whatever drama they want.”
“You may not care, but your fans do. Don’t let the second female lead overshadow you, the leading lady. Don’t be too passive about these things,” Li Yanbai said, feeling that Shen Yan was being overly easy-going and kind.
Shen Yan smiled, “Thanks, Brother Li.”
Li Yanbai truly was an impeccable friend.
He was direct with his reminders.
And he never held back.
Of course, this frankness was limited to their private conversations.
Around others, Li Yanbai still maintained his usual tactful deanor.
In the evening,
Shen Yan finished her scenes and saw Xu Qianmu.
Perhaps because he noticed Mu Jincheng was there, Xu Qianmu didn’t approach but instead glanced over from afar and left.
“Jincheng, let’s go,”
Chu Jinghe warmly looped her arm through Mu Jincheng’s and spoke affectionately.
Mu Jincheng watched the cheerful pair leaving work together, his eyebrows nearly knotting together.
Watching Chu Jinghe and the other leave, Li Yanbai looked at Shen Yan, “Shall we head out together? Or…”
“Let’s go together.”
They all stayed at the sa hotel; walking separately would just be silly.
If soone like Li Yanbai wasn’t afraid of being caught on cara, why would she be scared?
It was normal for cast mbers to leave together after shooting.
As long as the two of them were innocent, there was nothing to fear.
Even so, Li Yanbai had his assistant go out first to ensure there were no suspicious people around before leaving together.
Seeing how cautious Li Yanbai was, Shen Yan didn’t think it was unnecessary.
The pair left the studio city together, and at the exit, they saw Song Xuan waiting.
Didn’t Song Xuan leave?
Song Xuan, upon seeing them exit laughing and talking, tasted a familiar, uncomfortable feeling.
She had felt this before—it was a bit unpleasant.
Although she knew these two wouldn’t get together, seeing their harmonious interactions made her overthink.
She wondered if Shen Yan might like soone like Li Yanbai or if Li Yanbai could develop feelings from working together too much and then the two naturally coming together.
Such scenarios were common in the entertainnt industry and were no longer surprising.
Thus, seeing the two walking together, her expression turned indescribably stiff.
