"Isn’t it so? Then how come Xu Yuan is saying it’s Xuanxuan?"
This confused retort drew curious onlookers closer.
"In that case, it really doesn’t look like Yuanyuan." After some comparison, everyone began discussing animatedly: "Her nasal bridge is higher than Yuanyuan’s, Yuanyuan’s chin is more pointed, and their temperaments are also different."
"To be honest, I prefer her looks; they’re more enduring. Lai Yuaner is just too much like the girl-next-door, lacking that aura that commands a presence from ten meters away."
Other crew members agreed: "Same here, she probably has that trending ’high-class face’, the unworldly kind."
Lai Yuaner stumbled slightly as she approached: "What about Xuanxuan?"
Upon seeing her, the living room fell silent.
Especially with Lai Yuaner’s hostile demeanor, those who participated in the gossip scattered like birds, all instinctively bowing their heads and retreating to their respective posts.
Lai Yuaner’s expression was ugly as she turned to the crew member with the cellphone: "Who did you just say was going to play Ying Xuaner?"
"...It wasn’t us who said it." The crew member was visibly uneasy.
In a film crew , where a big-name actress like Lai Yuaner could cost someone their job with just a few words, the crew member didn’t dare lie and honestly said: "The author of ’Original Sin’ just posted a photo."
Lai Yuaner snatched the cellphone away.
On the verified author Xu Yuan’s Weibo, eight minutes ago, a photo was posted.
In the picture was the left side of a girl’s face under the sunlight.
Her slightly disheveled medium-length hair, her skin snow-white and delicate, with dried traces of blood on her cheek; the girl had her eyes closed, radiating a tranquil yet fierce beauty.
Such beauty on her face was contradictory yet harmonious.
[Xu Yuan V]captioned the photo with a monologue: "The beautiful and high-class Miss Xuan, looking forward to your performance. [starry-eyed][drooling]"
Sister Wen and Shen Na entered the villa.
"Why not go to the makeup room?" Sister Wen asked.
Lai Yuaner ignored her, fixated on the photo on the cellphone.
She had recognized Tang Li in the picture.
The author of "Original Sin"’s words "beautiful and high-class" were like a sharp needle, glaringly piercing her chest.
The words "Miss Xuan" made her want to smash the cellphone.
Clearly, she was the rightful Ying Xuaner.
What the hell was Tang Li!
This universally scorned illegitimate daughter, what right did she have to steal her role!
Just then, two prop crew members passed by behind her carrying a box, oblivious to Lai Yuaner, busy chatting among themselves.
"We just finished filming the scene where Ying Xuaner gets arrested next door, I went to call Director Ruan, and watched the footage on the monitor for a while, she really acted well. Apparently, the girl playing Ying Xuaner is a newcomer, and it seems like Director Ruan knows her too."
"Probably she has connections," the other one chimed in.
"I don’t know how strong her connections are, but she herself is really pretty, even with a face full of fake blood, it didn’t affect her looks."
Hearing all this, it didn’t take long for Lai Yuaner to realize what was going on.
Her hands trembled with anger.
How could that illegitimate daughter Tang Li possibly get her hands on such a resource for the drama version?!
On the way back to school, Tang Li learned that Gao Wenlan had posted her photo on Weibo.
Wu Xuehan excitedly scrolled through Weibo on her cellphone: "There are already over three thousand comments, and more than a thousand shares, Ah Li, Xu Yuan V replied to a netizen, saying that looking at you is like seeing an 18-year-old Ying Xuaner!"
