Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Ye Shu Dominates the Headlines
Ye Xinyu was infuriated throughout the entire process.
She had never dreamed that the director would think Ye Shu playing the maid Shen Lian could add a “wow factor” to the show. He not only increased the maid Shen Lian’s scenes with the male lead, vying against her, the female protagonist, but he also made it a focus of the latter part of the series.
It even seemed as if he intended to give her equal prominence with the lead actress in the drama.
Ye Xinyu stepped out of the interview room and immediately blocked Ye Shu, “What kind of magic potion did you give the director? Or have you also started stripping down like Ou Linlin?”
“Ye Xinyu, it was you who fed the director a magic potion! It was you who made every effort to secure this role for me, leading him to mistakenly think you wanted to push your elder sister into the spotlight… Besides, the ‘wow factor’ the director captured makes perfect sense, proving definitely engaging for the drama, isn’t it?”
Ye Shu spoke calmly, her elegant red lips uttering sharp, meaningful words.
Ye Xinyu lost her rationality and lunged forward to choke her, “Ye Shu, you wretched bitch, I’ll tear you apart!!”
“Oh, it looks like you both are putting quite the effort in promoting the drama, playing your parts even off the set.”
As soon as Ye Xinyu finished speaking, the director couldn’t help but clap in admiration. The photographer nearby hurriedly started filming, capturing the moment.
With a charming smile, Ye Shu grasped Ye Xinyu’s hand and sweetly said to the camera, “After all, this is our first collaboration as sisters. I hope we can create a viewership miracle, don’t you think so, Xinyu?”
“Yes!” Ye Xinyu replied with a forced smile, fuming inside.
In the subsequent days,
“Nine Lives Demon Phoenix” seized the top headlines in the entertainment section with the gimmick ‘Real Sisters Battle for Husband’.
The drama had not even started airing, yet its impact was profound.
Throughout the nation, almost everyone who browsed the entertainment section was aware of this drama.
Especially the newly introduced character of the maid Shen Lian; her official costume photo in a bright red trailing robe, a face as white as snow partially veiled in red, and captivating, seductive phoenix eyes.
Her allure was tempered by a touch of feminine strength and grace, with a flicker of rebellious dominance in her eyes. Ye Shu perfectly encapsulated a phoenix’s proud disdain.
Overnight, even without starting to shoot her scenes, Ye Shu quietly captured the hearts of a segment of the prospective audience.
The production team deliberately started an official Weibo account for Ye Shu, identified as the mysterious maid Shen Lian.
The followers on Weibo continued to grow.
Before the drama aired, Ye Shu had already amassed hundreds of thousands of followers.
In the VIP ward of Noble Hospital in Han City,
Han Ruxin looked at the news on her phone, her face a mix of pale and flushed.
She couldn’t understand how, after her last clear, firm warning to Ye Shu not to approach Brother Chen, Ye Shu not only ignored her but was now audaciously pursuing him to Han City.
Moreover, she took on this role competing for a man and was promoting it everywhere!
Was she planning to confront her openly for Brother Chen?
The door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.
Through the blue curtain, Han Ruxin could clearly hear the familiar sound of shoes hitting the ground.
Steady and robust, carrying the inherent aura of a successful man.
It was her Brother Chen!
Han Ruxin’s heart pounded wildly, wishing she could, like any normal person, rush directly to Sheng Shaochen.
“Brother Chen, you’re here! I’m truly happy to have you with me every day.”
“I have to step out this afternoon,” Sheng Shaochen paused, and Han Ruxin could see through the curtain that he stood more than two meters away from her.
Brother Chen had a phobia of women and couldn’t come within one meter of any female.
Thus, she always made sure to measure exactly one meter, so Brother Chen could stand as close as possible.
Before, Brother Chen also tried to be as near her as possible.
But today, he was so far away, and he even mentioned he had to go out.
Her instincts told her that Brother Chen’s trip was for that woman, Ye Shu.
Han Ruxin’s slender fingers tightened around her phone, her knuckles turning white.
She could no longer sit idly by; she had to act fast to eliminate the threat of Ye Shu!
Ye Shu, you forced me into this!
