Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

After getting over their first fight, Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han stayed inside the hospital room, not knowing that the country was on its manhunt, searching for the unknown actress who got into an accident.

On Weibo, many star-chasers were still searching around and even accidentally dug up too much that another scandal involving two artists found dating was uncovered completely. The two artists were dragged around by their fans and were torn apart because their companies had to deny all rumors about them in order to appease their fans.

At the same time, in White City, Director Xiao still went along with the production crew's schedule and filmed other actors' scenes while Ran Xueyi was gone.

"Cut!"

Director Xiao called out as Steffanie and Ran Yue paused immediately from their roles. They could feel the sweat on their bodies, almost soaking their costumes and wiping off the makeup on their faces.

"What's going on with you, Steffanie? You too, Ran Yue? Why are you acting so stiff in front of the camera even a monkey could act when its in front of a camera!"

"Do you still need me to teach you how to act?"

Ran Yue did not say anything and only lowered her eyes. But Steffanie frowned severely and clenched her fists under her sleeves. Director Xiao's complaints about their acting was not unfounded since they made mistakes just now, but how could he humiliate her as if she was on the same level as Ran Yue?

Director Xiao was not afraid of Steffanie and continued scolding her. "Especially, you, Steffanie! Did you really read your character description?"

Hearing such a question was tantamount to not reaching a deep understanding with her role. This was an insult to any actor and actress, and Steffanie had to bite her lips from talking back to him.

Director Xiao, however, did not care that everyone was looking at them and continued: "You are supposed to be Chen Miao's cousin who is gentle and kind, who will side with her and also become her protector. So, why do you look like some green tea b*tch who cannot wait to take Chen Miao's place?!"

A/N: Green tea b*tch - a seemingly innocent and charming lady but really a superficial and fake woman who has evil intentions.

Chen Miao was Ran Yue's character in the TV drama. Ran Yue only did a few mistakes, but because of Steffanie's provocation, she actually got scolded by the director. Ran Yue was naturally not feeling good but hearing Director Xiao call Steffanie a green tea b*tch, the stuffiness inside her heart was cleared away instantly.

"3, 2, 1! Action!"

The filming started.

Inside a courtyard, Chen Miao crumpled down on the ground and cried tearfully. Her cousin, Chen Rou hurried to hold her up, but Chen Miao was overwhelmed by emotions after learning that she was to marry the old and shriveled Duke Lin, and pushed her away.

The amount of strength that Ran Yue put into her push was not that great, but it still made Steffanie take a few steps back and unceremoniously fall to her butt.

Chen Miao shouted: "Don't touch me!"

"You..." Steffanie was upset after being pushed hard and glared at her.

Director Xiao stepped in. "Cut! Do it again!"

"Don't touch me!" Ran Yue pushed her once again.

Steffanie was pushed to the ground again and her pelvic bone was tortured again. She knew that she couldn't scream out in pain because this scene had to be started over again and again. That would also mean by the end of this scene, her butt and pelvic bone will bruise and she might not sit on a chair for a while.

"Miao-jie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Chen Ruo crawled back to Chen Miao's side.

Chen Miao sobbed. "It's because of them! Why can't they find a suitable husband for me? Why did they have to choose that man for me to marry!"

"What do you mean? Duke Lin is a man that even the emperor respects."

"So what if the emperor respects him? Will that save me from his hands?" Chen Miao continued to cry loudly and swiped the things on top of the table, producing a crisp crashing sound from the things that fell on the floor.

"Shh! Miao-jie, what are you going to do if somebody hears you? Pl...please--"

"Cut! Let's start on that part!"

The fourth try started.

Steffanie was about to lose her mind. Why was the director only noticing her mistakes?

After repeating several parts of the scene a few times, the scene between Ran Yue and Steffanie was finally done.

Steffanie pushed open her dressing room and threw the jade hairpin to the ground. It cracked into two parts and as if she wasn't satisfied with it, Steffanie even stomped on it as she coldly scolded Director Xiao inside the room.

"That dumb director! Who does he think he is? Just because he's the director, he can just humiliate me in front of everyone! Let's see if he can still laugh when my father hears this!" Steffanie was about to reach for her phone to call her father, but was stopped by her manager.

It was a new manager who replaced Shi Lian, who was now hiding.

"Director Xiao is not your father's subordinate. You cannot report every little thing to your father." The new manager took the phone away from her hands.

"I don't care! Did you see how he scolded me in front of everyone!" Steffanie was angry but remembered that Shi Lian was no longer by her side and couldn't take her anger out on her new manager.

With a slightly good-looking face and tall figure, the new manager was really in line with her type of guy and Steffanie did not have the heart to slap him either.

"Are you not feeling well today? You don't seem to be in the right state of mind. Why don't I ask Director Xiao to give you a break today?"

Steffanie was currently fuming after getting several NG ("No Good" scenes) from the director. She felt small after being called out again and again.

"No... If I leave today, people will only talk more behind my back. I don't want to make everyone think that I got scared away and left."

Besides, she was in a good mood today. Ran Xueyi was finally out of the picture and will never come back again! How could she be dejected after being scolded once or twice by someone like Director Xiao?

After thinking like this, Steffanie was rejuvenated.

However, what she didn't know is that in the next coming days, her joyful life will be filled with gloom and storm.
