The Tables Have Turned
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
Bai Xue almost vomited blood when she heard Wen Nuan’s mockery.
She already went looking for the big shots she had good relationships with in the past, but those men didn’t even look at her anymore. They were very ruthless.
She wasn’t willing to remain irrelevant.
She used all her methods and connections to get a role as the third female lead in a melodramatic romance production.
Today was her first day of filming.
However, as soon as she arrived, she saw Jiang Ling’er and Li Yu getting out of the same car. This made her a little defensive and instantly infuriated.
After all, most of the savings she had painstakingly accumulated was wasted.
Bai Xue said, “The tables have turned now, so don’t be too proud. You won’t have a good ending.”
“That’s right.” Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “That’s indeed the cause. It’s your turn to fall.”
Bai Xue yelled with a ferocious look, “Jiang Ling’er, you b*tch! You won’t end well!”
Wen Nuan didn’t have such a good temper, raising her hand and slapping Bai Xue.
She asked, “You won’t speak properly if I don’t hit you, no?”
Bai Xue touched her face and quickly took out a small mirror. When she looked at it, she saw the clear palm print on it.
She was so angry, her entire body trembled. With her face like this, how could she continue filming today?
Wen Nuan arrogantly said, “Bai Xue, I’m officially warning you. If you continue insulting people like this, I’ll sew your mouth shut. If you don’t believe me, you can try.”
Bai Xue wasn’t stupid; she knew she couldn’t afford to offend either Li Yu or Wen Nuan.
She could only watch them leave casually, feeling so angry that she almost fainted.

“Ling’er, hasn’t Bai Xue’s career been put on hold?” Wen Nuan asked curiously. “Why’s she still here? Did she and Li Yan get together?”
“I don’t know,” Jiang Ling’er said bluntly. “A man’s heart is hard to guess. But then again, he didn’t say anything about her career being on hold back then. He just won’t give her any resources.”
“How infuriating. So, Li Yan actually gave her a chance!” Wen Nuan said unhappily.
“Alright, enough,” Jiang Ling’er said with a smile. “Don’t be angry; it’s bad for your health.”
Wen Nuan smiled mischievously and didn’t say anything else.

Bai Xue looked at the few people who had walked away, rubbing her swollen face and gritting her teeth.
After thinking for a bit, she took out her phone and called her director.
When the call went through, she said delicately, “Director, I was too greedy last night and ate something spicy. Thanks to that, my gums have been swollen since this morning. I don’t think I can go today, so can you make an exception?”
“Bai Xue,” the director said in an unfriendly tone, “You don’t have to say anything; I was just about to call you.”
“Director, what’s the matter?” Bai Xue’s expression turned ugly. “Why are you so angry?”
“I’m officially informing you that you don’t need to come anymore,” he coldly replied. “I’ve already arranged for someone else to be the third female lead.”
“What do you mean by that?” she asked anxiously.
“What else do I mean?” he retorted impatiently. “Don’t you understand human language?”
Feeling wronged, she replied, “Director, don’t be so heartless. Even for me, you’d explain, right?”
“You’re asking me for an explanation?” he said angrily. “Because of you, I almost lost my job!”
“What?” she asked innocently. “Director, I didn’t do anything. How did I harm you?”
“Do you need me to remind you who you offended?” he said coldly.
Bai Xue was speechless.
She sucked in a breath of cold air. Who did she anger today? Wasn’t it only Jiang Ling’er?
However, it only happened just now; how could this already come up?
The director didn’t hear what Bai Xue said. He said impatiently, “Bai Xue, don’t contact me in the future. I can’t ruin my future because of you.”
After saying that, he hung up.
Bai Xue looked at the call that ended, her face darkening.
It wasn’t easy for her to land this role, but she lost it before she could even start?
This made her even more resentful. Jiang Ling’er, that b*tch; she really couldn’t be underestimated!

At the Zhang family’s residence.
Today was the first day that Zhang Huanhuan had been brought back.
Zhang Nuannuan’s father wanted to find a place to celebrate, but Old Madam Zhang wouldn’t allow it.
They said that there were too many paparazzi outside. If they were photographed, the media would write nonsense and affect Deputy Chief Zhang’s reputation.
Although Zhang Nuannuan’s father wasn’t satisfied, he knew the risks in this, so he could only celebrate at home.
On the other hand, Zhang Huanhuan didn’t feel unfamiliar despite it being her first time here, but she still looked very reserved.
Although she was very careful and pretended to be naive and obedient, how could she hide her thoughts from Old Madam Zhang’s eyes?
