Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

The next day, Su Xiaofei paid Xiao Rufeng a visit on the filming set of "Demonville". She wanted to see the young actress's progress and how she was dealing with the pressure of playing the female lead role next to Ye Mingyu. In addition, she received a call from Xiao Rufeng last night, but the latter didn't explain the reason why she requested for Su Xiaofei's visit.

Su Xiaofei decided not to ask. If Xiao Rufeng wanted to tell her, she would have done so already. Being her manager for years now, she understood Xiao Rufeng better now.

That day, she found out that the scene Xiao Rufeng would be playing would be with Ye Mingyu. It was an intense scene between their characters that would lead to Xiao Rufeng's character being pushed down the stairs with a mob of mindless zombies awaiting her. Ye Mingyu was required to hit Xiao Rufeng and pull her hair. Who knows what could happen if she didn't control her strength.

Because Xiao Rufeng had more scenes than Ye Mingyu, she was to film some scenes alone, forcing Ye Mingyu to wait for her turn. As she watched Xiao Rufeng frantically looking around for her companion, Ye Mingyu's mind was already imagining how the scene later would end Xiao Rufeng's career. Because of this, Ye Mingyu failed to notice a pair of dark eyes, watching her from afar.

"If I didn't know Xiao Rufeng is still a newbie, I wouldn't believe it if someone told me. Just look at her impeccable acting. The moment the director gave her the cue, she immediately became the character herself."

"I know right! She's not really as bad as some people thought her to be. Although she's still a newbie, she patiently listened to her elders for corrections and advice."

The crew's discussion about Xiao Rufeng only fueled the hatred in Ye Mingyu's heart.

Then the time finally came and the director called Ye Mingyu and Xiao Rufeng to play the next scene. Xiao Rufeng had her long hair down and it looked like she hadn't showered for days. Her clothes looked like it had seen better days, her skirt had small tears on its seam and fake blood was smeared on her top.

Meanwhile, Ye Mingyu looked better than her. Aside from the fake bandage on her forehead and arm, her costume was cleaner compared to Xiao Rufeng.

"Ye Mingyu, in terms of strength, I believe you are stronger than Xiao Rufeng. I want you to control your strength. Hit her, but not to the point that she would get injured. Once the camera starts rolling, you have to pounce at Xiao Rufeng as if you have lost your mind." The director told Ye Mingyu.

"I understand, Director." Ye Mingyu nodded her head with a smile before turning to face Xiao Rufeng. "Sister Xiao, I have to apologize in advance if I hurt you. Please know that it isn't my intention."

"Miss Ye is worrying too much." Xiao Rufeng said with a wry smile. She was looking at Ye Mingyu as if the woman was prancing like a clown.  "You wouldn't be chosen as the second lead if you aren't capable."

The smile on Ye Mingyu's face immediately faltered upon hearing Xiao Rufeng's words. It then dawned on her that Xiao Rufeng was mocking her. However, she could only smile and curse Xiao Rufeng in her heart, wanting nothing more to see her sorry state later once she was done with her.

"Ah! President Su! How come you are here?" The director spotted Su Xiaofei standing at the corner with a pair of sunglasses hiding her eyes from others.

Su Xiaofei raised a hand and waved a greeting to the man who she assumed was already in his late sixties. Many directors would have retired by this age, but this man, regardless of his age, was still able to make award winning films here and abroad.

"Director, please don't mind me. I'm merely here to watch Miss Xiao's performance as her manager. I'm just making sure that she's not causing you any headaches." She replied.

The man waved his hand and gestured for her to join him next to the cameraman and gave her his seat. He then told the two actresses to rehearse the scene while he was conversing with their surprise guest.

Ye Mingyu glanced at Su Xiaofei and suddenly broke out into a cold sweat seeing her piercing glare. She felt vulnerable in Su Xiaofei's eyes, as if the latter knew what she was up to.

"You're just like your mother, President Su. Both of you tend to worry too much." The director commented towards Su Xiaofei.

Su Xiaofei raised a slender brow. She hadn't thought that her mother was acquainted with him.

"Didn't your mother tell you that I was the one who convinced her to start Bluemedia?"

Su Xiaofei shook her head in response. To be honest, Yun Qingrong rarely told her anything about her work when she was younger, although one thing was sure. Her mother never wanted her to pursue acting and become an actress.

"Miss Yun has a great eye when it comes to recruiting newbies. Just as everyone knows, Miss Yun used to be a talent manager before starting Bluemedia. One particular talent changed her mind. That girl took her own life after being maligned by her fellow actors. Miss Yun said that she would build a small haven where talents would be protected." He looked at Su Xiaofei with curiosity, thinking that she could have become the second Bai Qingyue if she decided to enter showbiz as an actress with the face that she possessed.The source of this ᴄontent is (f)ir(e).net

Su Xiaofei knew what he was talking about but refused to make any comment on it. It was one of the things she disliked about showbiz. Words are powerful. They can build up or tear people down. The anti-fans pounced on that young actress and bullied her to no end until she took her own life.
