Of all places, Su Xiaofei didn't expect that she would be able to et her birth mother here. She had long known that their eting couldn't be avoided, but not this early. It seed like they were filming a scene and Bai Qingyue was dressed in a traditional outfit.
Her long black hair was pinned up on top of her head with a simple hair pin, and she was clad in a white and red robe with flowers embroidered on her sleeves. It made her appearance look younger than her actual age and could put anyone in a trance, as if she was an immortal fairy who had lost her way and ended up in the mortal realm.
But not for Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng. They were both expressionless as they stood among the small crowd who were fawning over Bai Qingyue.
"Do you know that they would be here?" Su Xiaofei asked Lu Qingfeng.
"No. I didn't." Lu Qingfeng gauged her reaction. "Sorry. I should have paid more attention. The inn owner only inford us that the other side of the premises is off limits. I didn't know that there's a production going on here."
He knew that Bai Qingyue was her birth mother, but he needed to feign ignorance over this fact for the anti. Unless Su Xiaofei was willing to share her secrets with him, he needed to be careful with his words and actions.
Lu Qingfeng didn't want to deceive her by keeping the truth from her. He knew for a fact that if she knew that he was reborn like her, the guilt she was slowly letting go might co back with a vengeance. He also didn't want her to take all the bla for all the things he committed in his past life.
"It's okay, Xiao Feng. I suppose it can't be helped." Su Xiaofei sighed and gave her birth mother a good look.
While she felt happy that she was able to et Qiao Fengying in this lifeti, the sa couldn't be said about her eting Bai Qingyue again. Su Xiaofei felt nothing for her birth mother other than animosity. She would never accept such a person as her mother, even if they were cut from the sa cloth.
Su Xiaofei didn't need to think hard about what kind of project Bai Qingyue's team was currently filming. Since Bluedia had finally let go of her and chose to hold auditions for the title role, Bai Qingyue imdiately accepted Golden Star's offer to play the female lead role for their historical TV drama, courtesy of Mo Yuchen.
Su Xiaofei was aware that she was still not strong enough to go against Mo Yuchen in her current state, but it didn't an that she couldn't do anything to ss with him.
"If you are feeling uncomfortable, we can leave now." Lu Qingfeng suggested, but she shook her head in response.
"It's fine. I want to watch them a little." She smiled at him and gave his hand a light squeeze. She didn't want Lu Qingfeng to think that their date could easily be ruined just because Bai Qingyue was here.
As they stayed watching the scenes being played by Bai Qingyue, Su Xiaofei had to admit that her birth mother wasn't a bad actress after all. It made sense that this woman was able to reach the peak of her career.
The mont the director signaled them to start, the tears imdiately rolled down Bai Qingyue's cheek. She suddenly turned into a different person and played her role very well. There was no Bai Qingyue visible, only the pitiful and tragic heroine of their TV drama.
The actress who would portray the title role in "The Poisonous Concubine" shouldn't underestimate Bai Qingyue's talent at all. She would need to prove that she can compete with Bai Qingyue.
"How's Aunty Qing's big project going?" Lu Qingfeng whispered.
He was aware that Yun Qingrong had been putting a lot of effort into "The Poisonous Concubine", just like she did in the past. He had tried to invest in the said project during his eting with Su Xiaofei's mother, but Yun Qingrong politely turned his offer down.
There was no issue over the funding, but the casting of the series. It was hard to find a suitable actress that would be able to portray the female lead role aside from Bai Qingyue, whom they initially considered for the role.
"The audition is still ongoing, but I expect that they will be able to find a suitable actress to portray the lead role. Mama is still on the edge, worrying about it." She replied.
Su Xiaofei was hoping that Tang Liyan would consider accepting her offer. It was the Zhang siblings whom she had sent to deliver her proposal, but she was certain that the actress who had lost her shine after getting married wouldn't be able to ignore it for too long.
Since Tang Liyan had irreconcilable grievances towards Bai Qingyue, Su Xiaofei expected that Tang Liyan would willingly co to her soon and accept the female lead role for Yun Qingrong's project.
As for Bai Qingyue, as long as she didn't provoke her and her mother, Su Xiaofei had no interest in dragging her birth mother to the mud anyti soon. She could still seek revenge over the grievances she had experienced under her mother's sches at a later ti.
When the director sent another signal, Bai Qingyue's expression imdiately returned to normal and rose to her feet from kneeling on the ground. Her assistants imdiately ca to her and gave her a drink and a pack of tissue to dry her tears.
As the production crew rushed to prepare for the next scene, the director reviewed the recorded scene with Bai Qingyue and was pleased with her performance. However, as soon as he lifted his head to call his assistant, soone from the crowd took his attention.
Su Xiaofei's smiling face as she looked at Lu Qingfeng effectively put the director in a trance.
