Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Ran Xueyi let a small smile appear on her lips. Looking around at the crew and director who looked as if they had just taken a bitter pill, she let her smile become even more natural-looking and ignored the odd glances that everyone was sending at each other.

Director Zhao, who was connected to the actress Qin Ling, couldn't answer the question even if he wanted to. What else could he say? That the articles were true? But then, where was his niece? Where was the actress Qin Ling that should have been part of the cast in the movie.

Even if he had nine lives like a cat, Director Zhao didn't have enough face to rip apart. And so, he couldn't answer this question without thinking too deeply on what he should answer to the reporter, who was looking forward to his response.

"Oh? What article? How is it that I have never heard or seen them at all?" Director Lan took the reporter's attention away from Director Zhao. Director Zhao was about to feel thankful towards him, but when he heard Director Lan's next words, he almost couldn't stop himself from shouting at him. Turning to the directors on his side, Director Lan smiled, "Directors, have we ever released an article about the movie? Production team?"

The crew and directors who were standing idly and hoping not to be included in the battlefield were hit by a stray bullet. They never expected that Director Lan would drag them to the battlefield like this.

"Hahaha..."

"Did we?"

Director Lan smiled mysteriously at them, compelling them to give an answer he was satisfied with.

"Ah! Yes, I remember now. We were planning to release an article but Miss Peng said that we should conceal all the information about the cast and the filming so that the fans wouldn't get any spoilers," Director Chi chuckled. He wiped the sweat on his forehead when every head turned to him. "Isn't that right, everyone?"

Since someone had already said something to resolve this matter, no one could say otherwise and could only agree with what Director Chi had said.

Director Zhao's mood worsened.

He was the only one who actually knew the truth behind these 'articles'. He bit his lips until it became too painful and when he accidentally glanced on his side, he saw Director Lan watching him with his eyes taunting and mocking him.

Forget it, it was his loss this time around, there was no need for him to float and get angry because of this matter when it was his niece's fault that this happened. As for his niece's image and reputation...

Director Zhao sighed and could only hope that his brother-in-law would find a better method to develop his daughter's talent in acting.

...

"Are we still not there?" Qin Ling shrieked and glared at the driver's back.

Mother Qin asked, "Driver Chen, how long do you think we have been stuck in here? Can't you use another road, maybe a short cut towards the studio?"

Driver Chen sighed as he replied, "Mrs. Qin, this is the main road towards the studio. There are indeed some other ways we can use, but I'm afraid that the traffic officers will pull us over."

Hearing that there was really no other way to get to the studio, Qin Ling finally cried.

"Why was this happening to me? Now, everyone will think I stood them up and my reputation in the crew will go down the drain! Moreover, there was another actress they wanted to replace me with. Mommy, your daughter is being bullied by them. Shouldn't you help me keep the role?"

Mother Qin looked down at her daughter, who was grabbing her arms while tears were falling down her cheeks like a waterfall. She suddenly felt that her precious daughter was too pitiful and her heart wrenched in pain for her.

And so, Mother Qin came up with an idea. She said: "Don't worry, Xiao Ling. Mommy will do her best to talk to your uncle when we get to the studio."

Qin Ling pulled back and complained, "But Mommy, you're scared of uncle! How can you make him change his mind?"

Mother Qin was speechless. It was true that she was scared of her older brother, but why did Qin Ling have to ruin her time to be a protective and perfect mother?

"Th...then, I'll tell your father what happened and let him invest in the movie. I'm sure nobody will say anything bad to you once your father spends some money on the movie," Mother Qin promised.

Having heard of her mother mentioning her father, Qin Ling beamed and giggled in happiness. How did she not think of this? Her father spoiled her so much that he basically gave her anything she wanted, he even took some resources that were supposedly owned by other actresses and gave it to her.

With her father involving himself in this matter, shouldn't this mean that she won?

Thinking like this, Qin Ling went back to her seat and calmed down. Her smugness returned to her. So what if she was late? Now that her father will spend money on her, his daughter, no one would dare offend her anymore!

...

At the studio, Ran Xueyi sat beside the director and looked at the monitor where the scenes that were taken before were playing. As an actress, one must learn to watch and observe while also learning how things went in the production. In that way, both the actress and director would have a level of understanding between them.

"What do you think of this, Xiao Xueyi?" asked Director Chi.

Ran Xueyi finished watching the scene between the female lead and male lead on the monitor and paused in thought before she said, "Sister Meng and Jiang Ping's acting is very outstanding and suitable for their roles. The way Sister Meng talked shyly to the eunuch that Jiang Ping was playing was almost close to being real, and Jiang Ping looked as good as the hero in the novel."

The directors and producer who were also watching this scene on the monitor heard her thoughts, they all were surprised that Ran Xueyi's opinion was the same with their thoughts and couldn't help but feel a bit closer to her.

"But I think the angle is a little bit awkward..." Ran Xueyi added in the end.
