Chapter 83 - Qin Ling's Entrance

She didn't think that Song Yu Han would go as far as to fire the employees who watched her be humiliated last night. More than that, she didn't think he'd even kick out the cast of the movie...

But she didn't really care. Her husband was doing this for her own sake, spoiling her to the bone. Of course, Ran Xueyi wouldn't stop him from doing it.

Truth be told, Ran Xueyi already knew what she wanted to do the moment that Director Lan called her about her being removed from the main cast. She wanted to do something that would make Qin Ling and President Qin regret their decision in getting in her way.

It wasn't the time yet...

Ran Xueyi smiled coldly as she closed her eyes and continued sleeping in her husband's embrace.

...

Inside the studio.

The staff and crew of the movie were running around the place, trying to fix the mess that they had left from yesterday. The actors were also getting ready to wear their costumes and makeup when Qin Ling arrived.

Strutting as if she owned the whole studio, Qin Ling smiled smugly at everybody.

"Good morning everyone!" She greeted loudly and went to the directors who were already stationed in their post, behind the monitors. "Good morning Directors."

The directors and producers who were in front of her greeted back, but it wasn't as jovial as Qin Ling did when she greeted them. 

The only reason why there was an awkward atmosphere in the filming studio was because Qin Ling really outdid herself this time by forcefully putting herself into one of the cast.

After greeting the others, Qin Ling saw her uncle together with Director Lan. Upon seeing the young director, her eyes twinkled like stars. 

"Brother Lan! Uncle Zhao!" Qin Ling shouted in the middle of the studio, capturing everybody's attention to look between her and Director Lan. They way Qin Ling called his name was beyond appropriate especially since one was a director while the other was an actress.

Director Lan frowned hearing his name come out of her lips, but didn't say anything as he saw Qin Ling approaching them. 

Seeing this, Director Zhao was apologetic and sighed. "My sister spoiled my niece too much. Please have more patience towards Xiao Ling, Director Lan."

After what happened last time, Director Zhao curbed his arrogance a bit and started to change. He tried to be friendlier towards everybody and also started to speak with Director Lan without any biases.

Director Lan shook his head and replied, "Director Zhao doesn't need to apologize on her behalf. As for having more patience towards your niece... That'll depend on her behavior."

As he said this, Qin Ling was already a few steps away from them and couldn't wait to jump to where they stood. However, before she could even take a step closer, Director Lan, the man she was trying to catch, had already turned around and walked away.

Pouting to her uncle, Qin Ling complained, "Uncle Zhao, why didn't you stop him from leaving? You two even saw me walking to you."

Director Zhao observed this niece of his that his younger sister produced. Qin Ling has a small round face and fair skin. She has gentle facial features, making her look adorable. It was really too bad that Qin Ling grew up rotten and spoiled by her father that everything that Director Zhao praised about her appearance was covered up by her personality.

Qin Ling still wanted to complain to her uncle and mentioned what happened yesterday. "Uncle Zhao, aren't you too ruthless? I told you I want to join this cast, but you let another actress in and take my place! Do you even see me as your niece anymore?"

Director Zhao's expression darkened upon seeing that she was scolding him for what happened to her. He wanted to tell her that it was her fault for waking up too late and not arriving on time for the booting ceremony. 

However, his words were caught in his throat when he saw the tears that glistened in her eyes. Guilt and regret filled his heart.

"Alright, don't be mad at your uncle now." Director Zhao patted her head. "I was only pressured by everybody because you were late. You didn't see the reporters yesterday trying to humiliate me when they didn't see you."

Qin Ling was satisfied by his apology and she was no longer sulking, she smiled brightly. She then said, "I'm not upset anymore. I know Uncle loves me the most. It's just that slut actress who tried to steal my role because I wasn;t here!"

Director Zhao's heart thudded when he heard her saying these words towards Ran Xueyi. But because he didn't want to anger his niece anymore and prolong the awkward situation in the studio, he shut his mouth up and ignored everything else.

Anyway, what is done is done. Even if Qin Ling called Ran Xueyi names and started a rumor, President Qin has her back and would support her endlessly. 

"Alright, everyone! The filming for the scene between Princess Tian Lan and Princess Chu will now start! Please tell the actress to standby!" Director Chi announced while holding the megaphone in his hand. 

Hearing that it was her turn now, Qin Ling stared in shock and looked at her dress. It was a pink and short Chanel dress. She didn't even get to wear her wig and costume! Why are they starting now?!

However, Director Chi didn't seem to have any care about this. He had just lost the chance to spend time with the goddess of acting that he had been idolizing years ago. Why would he care about an insignificant actress who only knows how to rely on her father's money?

"We don't have a lot of time so, everyone must hurry and stand on their positions! We still have more scenes to film later!" Director Chi shouted and put the megaphone with a loud thud, the loud feedback noise soon came after, almost deafening the people next to him.
