Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

The filming for the movie <<The Great Empress' Love>> wasn't doing very well as soon as Qin Ling joined the cast. During the scenes she was asked to play, she would make several mistakes and NG's that the all the directors were too frustrated with her and couldn't wait to replace her for an extra.

Unfortunately, Qin Lin's father invested a lot of money in the movie and they weren't able to force her out of the cast. Hence, the directors hired a double for her so whenever Qin Ling made several mistakes, they would replace her with her double.

In this way, Qin Ling could join the filming, but not really act in the scenes.

After being replaced once again by her double, Qin Ling smashed the jade hairpin on the floor the moment she entered the makeup room.

"What nonsense is this!" Qin Ling angrily stomped her feet. If not for her manager stopping her, she would have already smashed all the makeup products on the table.

"Calm down for now, Qin Ling." Zhao Chen, Qin Ling's manager, came forward and took the broken hairpin from her artist's hand. "You can't lose your temper after you finally get what you wanted. Anyway, now that you're part of the movie, they can no longer kick you out."

"Hmph! That's of course! If they try to make that move again, I swear I'm going to have my father kick those directors out of the industry and have them crawl before me."

"Crawl before you?"

Suddenly a voice sounded from behind them. Qin Ling and Zhao Chen turned around and saw that Director Lan was standing by the door.

Qin Ling gasped and was extremely shocked. "Di- Director Lan! What are you doing here?"

Director Lan coldly gazed at her and replied, "Meng Chen lost the hairpin she was supposed to wear in the scene. I came here to look for it."

Then, as he was done saying this, he caught sight of the broken hairpin in Zhao Chen's hands and frowned. "Isn't that the hairpin Meng Chen lost?"

The green hairpin was too pitiful to look at in the hands of Manager Zhao. It was beyond repairable and broken into pieces already.

Qin Ling was finally scared. When she came into the makeup room, she grabbed anything that was close to her and smashed it. Who knew it was the jade hairpin that Meng Chen lost?!

"That..." Qin Ling stuttered. She couldn't find an excuse to get her out of this situation. First, she was heard by her crush when she said that she'd make the directors crawl and beg her. Then, Director Lan found the jade hairpin she broke in the hands of her manager.

Seeing how Qin Ling was reacting, Director Lan already knew what happened and didn't speak. Those who know him knew that the more silent and cold he was, the scarier he could get.

Was not kicking Ran Xueyi out of the cast enough? Does Qin Ling have to break things that the props team prepared for the movie before she was satisfied?

"Give the hairpin to me," Director Lan held up his hands.

"N...No..." Qin Ling tugged on her manager's sleeves. "Don't give it to him."

Director Lan frowned, "The hairpin is already broken, there's no need for you to keep it."

"Director Lan, I'm sorry. It was me who broke it when it rolled on the floor. I didn't see that there was a hairpin and stepped on it," Zhao Chen took the blame calmly. "How much is the hairpin? I'll pay the props team the amount they paid to buy the hairpin."

"Manager Zhao will do that?" Director Lan took back his hand and crossed it in front of his chest.

Zhao Chen nodded. "Yes."

Coincidentally, a prop team member followed Director Lan to help him look for the hairpin. When he saw Director Lan standing at the door, he walked to him with a confused expression.

"Have you found it, Director Lan?"

Director Lan glanced at the prop team member and tipped his chin towards the makeup room. The props staff member peeked and saw Qin Ling and her manager inside the room.

"Oh, Miss Qin and Manager Zhao. It's good that you two are here. Have you seen a hairpin here?" he asked.

Qin Ling froze...

"Is that the hairpin you're looking for?" Director Lan ignored Qin Ling's pleading eyes.

"Ah? Oh, it is!" The prop team member was about to take the hairpin back, but when he got closer, he noticed that the hairpin in their hands was already broken. His face went pale and exclaimed, "Oh my god! What happened? Why is it broken?!"

Zhao Chen answered, "I stepped on it earlier."

"You stepped on it? Why didn't you look at where you're going!"

Zhao Chen was angered by how the man was speaking to her, but since it was their fault that the hairpin was shattered, she didn't show her attitude.

"I'm sorry... I'll pay for it." Zhao Chen thought that she only needed to pay for that cheap-looking hairpin. From the appearance of the hairpin, it should be around a hundred yuan. Well, if they asked her to pay a thousand, she'd be magnanimous and pay them one thousand yuan.

However, the man's next words stunned not only Zhao Chen, but also Qin Ling.

,m The man glared at Zhao Chen and scoffed, "Pay for it? Are you f*cking kidding me? This is not a fake hairpin you can just buy anywhere! Do you even know how much this hairpin is?"

Zhao Chen had only arrived today to check on her artist's status in the filming. How would she know how much a hairpin would cost? Wasn't it only a fake and cheap hairpin?

She looked at Qin Ling quizzically, but the latter shook her head indicating that she also had no idea what the man was talking about.

The man was angered again when they showed that stupid expression on their faces. He loudly said for them to hear him clearly, "That is a relic that a master made fifteen years ago! No amount of money could buy that!"
