Chapter 796: 534 glands
Yuyao did not embarrass Yu Shuiling, instead, she learned that Yu Shuiling had the most costumes for the play and that they were all prepared in doubles. Her heart couldn’t be more upset.
Indeed, as the daughter of the Yu Family, she even made shooting a film feel like the mere appearance of a big star.
Yu Shuiling went to change her clothes and didn’t look at Yuyao again.
Yuyao stood there, her eyes fixated on Yu Shuiling’s new costume, unable to calm her heart for a long time.
If she were a wealthy young lady with a brother who doted on her, would she not have to be here trying to please others? Could she, like Yu Shuiling, act like a big star on set, pick any role she wanted, and not have to worry about securing a part with so much scheming?
Lan Shuixian advised her to curry favor with Yu Shuiling, but seeing Yu Shuiling’s spirited and young lady-like demeanor, she simply couldn’t bring herself to do it.
However, in order to secure a good role in the next play, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and approach.
No matter whether Yu Shuiling liked her or not, some things still had to be done.
If she could gain Yu Shuiling’s trust, maybe she could get close to the third child of the Yu Family. He was a famously wealthy young businessman in the Imperial Capital, and as long as she could establish a relationship with him, she wouldn’t have to worry about not getting good scripts or roles in the future.
So you see, it’s all about choosing the right target. With the right target in mind, you might be able to struggle less for many years.
Thinking about this, Yuyao felt invigorated and full of energy.
Yu Shuiling was nothing special, but her brother was someone important. If she could climb up the ladder through Yu Shuiling and sway her brother, that would be a very profitable deal.
Thinking of this, she began to look more favorably on Yu Shuiling, as if seeing a promising future.
“Shuiling,” Xiaonian brought two young men over to find Shuiling, “Shuiling, have you finished your work?”
“Yonghao, Zizhi, what are you guys doing here?” The newcomers were their old classmates, friends they had grown up playing with, and thus had a good relationship.
Yonghao looked at Yu Shuiling’s outfit, burst into laughter, and pointed at her, saying, “Zizhi, you’re not wrong. There’s a truth to it. What’s the name of this TV drama? Once it airs, we must watch it.”
Li Zizhi took out a notebook and a pen from his embrace, “To the future big star, I think this drama of yours will definitely hit big. Why don’t you sign an autograph for me in advance?”
Speaking, Li Zizhi handed the notebook and pen to Yu Shuiling for her to sign her name grandly.
Xiaonian was already laughing so hard she couldn’t close her mouth, “Some people really know how to suck up, haha.”
Li Zizhi gave her a nonchalant look, unfazed, “Just wait and see, Shuiling is definitely going to be famous.”
“Li Zizhi, with that comment alone, sis has to sign her name grandly for you,” Yu Shuiling took the pen and danced it across the paper, finishing in no time.
“Miss Yu.” Yuyao appeared from nowhere, holding some of Imperial Capital’s famous snacks in her hands. Seeing Yu Shuiling with a few friends, she called out with a smile, “Got some friends with you, huh? I just had my assistant go out to buy some snacks, but we bought too much. Come, join us and eat.”
These two young gentlemen indeed looked good, clean and obviously well-bred.
It figures, considering who Yu Shuiling’s father was, those who could associate with her clearly came from good families.
“No need,” Yu Shuiling glanced indifferently at the snacks in her hand. She didn’t have a good impression of Yuyao and was even less interested in what she was holding.
“Miss Yu, I’m really sorry about what happened earlier. It wasn’t intentional. These snacks are my way of apologizing. I was clumsy, and I upset you, which I deeply regret.”
Listened to Yuyao’s words, those not in the know would surely think Shuiling was an unreasonable young lady, throwing her weight around as the daughter of the Yu Family in the troupe.
“I didn’t take that matter to heart at all, but you keep bringing it up. Are you perhaps feeling guilty because you did it on purpose and that’s why you’re constantly apologizing?” In terms of confronting others, Yu Shuiling never held back.
“Of course I didn’t do it on purpose. I just…”
“We’re leaving now. Share these snacks with the other crew members.” Yu Shuiling said this and then walked out with Xiaonian and the others.
The most annoying thing in this troupe was the constant backstabbing.
Since people found out she was the daughter of the Yu Family, they had been all kinds of obsequious towards her. She just wanted to leave quickly as soon as she was done and not stay there any longer.
Xiaofeng and Gu Yecheng were walking along the roadside when they encountered Yu Shuiling and her group.
“Sis, brother-in-law,” Xiaonian was thrilled to see her sister.
“What a coincidence,” Xiaofeng said, surprised to see the four people approaching.
“Sis, brother-in-law, let’s go for a drink,” Yu Shuiling said, sticking out her tongue after the suggestion.
“Does the family know you’re out drinking?” Xiaofeng asked, pretending to be stern.
“We’re just out for a walk. We wouldn’t dare to actually drink,” Xiaonian laughed heartily, “Come on, sis, let’s go for a walk with us.”
Xiaonian then linked arms with Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng looked at Gu Yecheng, “Let’s go, let’s join these youngsters for a walk.”
Passing by a park, they saw a Taoist Priest sitting at the entrance. The priest wore sunglasses, concealing his expression, only revealing a sign on the ground in front of him reading: “Fortune telling, palm reading.”
