The Bully President and the Serious Wife

Xu Lu flew for two hours to reach the capital.

Due to numerous setbacks, filming came to a halt, and Xu Qixi's incident was a headache for the director.

Losing some money was a minor issue, but the real problem was that their filming was way behind schedule.

Time was of the essence for them. The director had issued a directive to the set that time was severely limited. If a scene was repeated more than three times, it would be cut.

When Xu Lu heard the director yelling, she thought to herself that if the director knew that it was her who messed up Xu Qixi, he might kill her himself.

Xu Lu smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" A beautiful voice sounded in her ears.

She didn't need to see who was behind the deep, rich baritone. She smiled and replied, "Ah!...Uncle Qin..."

Qin Jingzhi gave her a bright smile. “Yes, uncle. It’s been a while. Is everything okay?”

“Uncle, don’t you use Weibo? I’m one of the most notorious movie stars out there.”

Qin Jingzhi smiled. “You do have a good opinion on this.”

"What else can I do? Humiliate myself to death?"

“My studio is planning a new movie, and there’s a role I think would be perfect for you. Want to try it out?”

Xu Lu raised her eyebrows. “Uncle, is this why you called me?”

“You could say that,”

The director finished his rant, and Qin Jingzhi quickly added, “We’ll talk after the shoot.”

The filming started, and Xu Lu met Zeng Meilun, the new heroine. She was not as beautiful as Xu Qixi, but she looked more elegant.

She received Xu Lu politely, neither too warm nor too cold. There were reports that her family also supported her.

A few scenes later, clips of Zeng Meilun's performance came out, and they were some very exciting scenes.

During the break, Zeng Meilun came over and sat with Xu Lu and asked, "Miss Xu, are you with Mr. Qin?"

“No, I didn’t.”

“But of everyone on set, Mr. Qin seemed to enjoy talking to you the most.”

Xu Lu smiled and said, “honey, you can’t get a man just by asking him. You have to chase him. If I really like him, would you have asked me by chance? He is already in my arms.

Xu Lu is not very old, but she has met many people and experienced many events.

Although the younger woman appeared calm in front of her, her eyes could not hide her true thoughts and feelings.

When she asked Xu Lu about this, her eyes could not hide her jealousy and suspicion, and of course, most importantly, her love for Qin Jingzhi.

Xu Lu doesn't know what she would be like in love, but she can see it in others.

Zeng Meilun was exposed and her face turned red. "What are you talking about?"

Xu Lu sneered, "You know in your heart whether I am talking nonsense or not. What I want to remind you is that no one in this world can ever gain anything by being skeptical."

Xu Lu hates being doubted by others.

Although many women always regard her as an imaginary enemy, who did she seduce? So far, the only person who actually slept with her was Xie Zhenting.

Everyone thought she was a slut who had seduced countless men.

At first, she tried to explain things clearly, but who would listen to her? As time went on, she became too lazy to explain anymore.

Zeng Meilun didn't say anything.

After a while, she slowly poured out her heart. "Yes, what you said is true. I like Mr. Qin. I have liked him for a long time. I can't remember how long it has been. I entered this industry because of him. I was so excited to be able to perform with him this time that I couldn't sleep. I want him to remember me, but I'm worried that he will be disgusted by my acting skills. I practice the script over and over again in front of the mirror every day..."

Xu Lu listened to her words, but her thoughts were far away.

Once upon a time, she had the chance to fall in love with someone, but God was not so kind.

Sometimes, being able to like someone is also a luxury of happiness.

But this happiness has nothing to do with her.

Xu Lu put down the script and stood up. It was time to shoot with Qin Jingzhi.

Zeng Meilun said to Xu Lu, "Ms. Xu, please wait..."

“I have to get to work. I don’t have time for small talk.”

Zeng Meilun stood up dignifiedly and said: “Miss Xu, I can see that Mr. Qin is very special to you. If you don’t like him, can you stay away from him? I know my request is a bit excessive, but I don’t want…”

Xu Lu turned around. "What don't you want? Don't you want Qin Jingzhi to fall in love with me? Don't you want me to like him because it scares you? Who are you to tell me this? How can you decide who loves who? Don't want me to stop talking to Qin Jingzhi just because you like him? Who are you?"

Zeng Meilun blushed after hearing what Xu Lu said. "I...I..."

Xu Lu interrupted her. "You don't have the courage to pursue him, so you naively think that if you prevent other women from approaching him, that will be all right. There are all kinds of selfish people, but people like you who are so self-righteous and stupid are rare."

Xu Lu paid no more attention to her. She picked up her skirt and left.

She didn’t understand how this woman could think that if she didn’t get close to Qin Jingzhi, she would have hope? Zeng Meilun was not bad, but Xu Lu didn’t like such a person.

Xu Lu hated being manipulated the most. She said to herself, "You'd better not try to test me, otherwise I really want to seduce Qin Jingzhi and make you cry to death."

Xu Lu stood in front of the mirror as a makeup artist came over to do her makeup. Qin Jingzhi stood two steps away. She watched him from the corner of her eye.

He possesses the mature charm and grace of a man in his prime.

He is taciturn and carries the air of someone seeking a simple life rather than one who craves fame and fortune.

Xu Lu smiled. There are many urban men, but men like Qin Jingzhi are very manly. No wonder young girls like Zeng Meilun are fascinated by him.

Qin Jingzhi walked over, looking very noble in his imperial attire. He asked, “Were you peeking at me just now?”

The makeup artist finished painting and left in a hurry. Xu Lu touched the hairpin on her head, “Uncle, you think too much. I never look at you, I study you. "

"What did you learn?" Qin Jingzhi asked jokingly.

Xu Lu thought of Zeng Meilun and looked up at Qin Jingzhi’s delicate face. She smiled and said, “I have my research results. Uncle, you… are still here. "

Qin Jingzhi caught a surprise. “What do you mean?”

Xu Lu winked at him. "Literally, that's what I just said!"

The set was ready and the director asked to start setting up the set.

This is a newly added scene, but Xu Lu and Qin Jingzhi instinctively have a tacit understanding of each other's expectations.

They act so well together that their scenes are usually only taken once.

Therefore, everyone loves to watch their performance. On the one hand, it is fun to watch, but most importantly: it looks fast!

After a scene was shot, the director excitedly shouted, "Cut!"

Xu Lu wrapped herself in Qin Jingzhi's arms. She said, "Uncle, you can let me go now."

Qin Jingzhi continued to hold her waist. Xu Lu felt her center of gravity shift.

Qin Jingzhi smiled. “At a moment like this, you should seize the opportunity to seduce me.”

Xu Lu didn't move. Their situation was awkward, and people looked down on them.

She rolled her eyes. “Uncle, are you going to fight your nephew?”

Qin Jingzhi smiled. “The evil rumors about you and Jin Xuechuan spread so quickly, but I didn’t see my nephew do anything about them. It seems that your relationship with him is about to end.”

“Uncle, I don’t think your joke is funny.”

The assistant director awkwardly called out, “Mr. Qin, the next scene is yours.”

Qin Jingzhi released Xu Lu with some regret. He whispered in her ear: “To be honest, I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s scene.”

Xu Lu frowned. What would happen tomorrow?

She turned around and saw Zeng Meilun's pale face. Well, she would be seen as a slut again.
