Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 553 A Glimpse Of The Past (2)They soon arrived at Golden Star Entertainment's headquarters in Qiying City. Su Xiaofei had never stepped into this place since her rebirth as the last memory she had of this place left a bitter taste in her mouth.
She had swallowed her pride and made a scene to see Mo Yuchen, wanting to beg him not to divorce her. However, she was denied and was told to never come and bother him ever again. She was then further humiliated by being dragged away by the security.
Just recalling those times was revolting, reminding Su Xiaofei of how she had lost her own dignity because of poor judgements, as she was too jaded to think that Mo Yuchen had truly cared about her. Being here only reminded her of how foolish she had been in the past.This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net
Mo Yuchen's personal assistant had greeted them and led them inside the company. He was slightly startled when he saw that Su Xiaofei had arrived with Yun Qingrong, but didn't make any comment.

There was something about Su Xiaofei that he couldn't explain, but thankfully, Yun Qingrong was to accompany her. The previous head of Bluemedia was known to be a gentle mannered lady and he couldn't possibly chase her out even if she wasn't expected to be here.
After all, Yun Qingrong was the founder of Bluemedia Entertainment and now that Bluemedia was being managed by her daughter, the company itself had suddenly become a black horse that was fiercely competing with Golden Star and Top Tier.
Su Xiaofei ignored him and didn't bother to say a word. This was the same man who looked down at her smugly in her past life as he delivered Mo Yuchen's words to her in front of everyone. She was aware of the confused look her mother was giving her at that moment, but Su Xiaofei knew that Yun Qingrong wouldn't understand her displeasure.
She ignored the curious stares they were receiving from other guests and talents Su Xiaofei recognized at the lobby. There was no way they didn't know who she was, considering her name had been dragged into recent rumors lately. Like the ones that accused her of having an affair with her own biological brother and cheating on him with Lu Qingfeng and Mo Yuchen at the same time.
Her father was beyond mad about it and was tempted to reveal their real relationship, but Lu Qingfeng managed to suppress the news and filed several libel charges against those media personnel responsible for mudslinging her name.
The director and the producer as well as the scriptwriter for the film Bai Qingyue and Tang Liyan were starring in were there as well as the two queens. Tang Liyan politely greeted them while Bai Qingyue remained seated impassively in her seat, reviewing her contract, pretending that she hadn't noticed their arrival.
It was only when the director cleared his throat and rose from his seat did Bai Qingyue lifted her head and regarded the newcomers.
"President Su, Miss Yun. It's been awhile." She told them, her face not giving any indication that she was associated with either of them.
Su Xiaofei gave her a curt nod and took a seat alongside her mother. The director raised the issue of the delay in the filming schedule, courtesy of Bai Qingyue's frequent absences for the past weeks that disrupted the progress of their project.

There are other actresses who could replace her and play the role well." He said as he cast Bai Qingyue a displeased look.
"I already said this before. Miss Bai had fallen sick and needed some rest. Didn't we send you her medical certificate? I do believe that Miss Bai is still the perfect actor to play the role alongside Miss Tang. Since she has somewhat recovered from her illness, she would be able to act her part." Mo Yuchen tried to reason out and Bai Qingyue nodded her affirmation to his claim.
"What do you think, President Su? Miss Yun?" The producer asked for their opinion. "We can replace Miss Bai for the role and find a replacement very soon, but this would mean the filming would be extended and Miss Tang would need to retake her scenes with the newcomer."
"I can't blame Miss Bai. In fact, I can somewhat sympathize with her. For as long as I remember, I've never heard of Miss Bai taking a hiatus during her two-decades long career. She has always been in the limelight, working nonstop. Her body probably decided to remind her that she needed to rest." She paused and glanced at everyone.
"I believe that all of us are striving to keep up with the pressure of our daily lives and responsibilities, but for someone who is as hardworking as Miss Bai, she needed a reminder to slow down like everyone else. Please give her a chance. I'm pretty sure that Miss Bai would give you the best outcome for this film." She said with a slight smile, leaving everyone speechless.
Su Xiaofei hid her smile behind the document she was pretending to read earlier. No wonder her mother was able to build a strong connection with people within the industry. Not only did Yun Qingrong know what words and tone to use, but her expression was enough for the gentlemen within the room to consider her opinion.
Both director and the producer conversed in low voices with each other until they reached an agreement.
"Miss Bai, we are willing to give you one last chance. Please don't let Miss Yun's plea come to waste."
"You have my word." Bai Qingyue affirmed, aware of why Yun Qingrong was helping her this time.
