Rebirth from the Ashes

Shen Xi, “…”

She was here to visit the set, not be an extra!

Yun Jinping was without a word.

Wang Cai had spoken and made a call. “You must be a fan of Lil’ Yu. Could you lend a hand? It’s a simple scene with two lines. I can teach you.”

Usually, a fan would not refuse to do a scene and run lines with their idol.

Before Shen Xi could say anything, a voice was heard within distance.

“Mr. Wang!”

The person was none other than Zhou Zhen. She was looking to mess with the girl after the latter got on her nerves. Alas, Zhou Zhen was called away by the makeup artist.

The second supporting role that Zhou Zhen played was a princess of the steppe nomads. Beautiful but violent, the character was smitten by the male lead, Xue Chenhuan, at first sight.

The red little number she had on showed off her curves, taking the people’s breath away. They were mind-blown but it would be better if she did not speak.

Yun Jinping turned to the source of noise. The girl may be dressed rather dazzling and mature, but Yun Jinping could tell from her collagen-plump face that she was probably around the age of her daughter.

Moreover, the girl’s appearance looked awfully familiar. Come to think of it, a realization hit Yun Jinping in the face.

Su Yi!

It dawned on her that the girl shared resemblance to Su Yi!

Su Yi was an actor, a famous movie star from their era. While Yun Jinping was not into idolizing stars during her younger days, she had watched a few of Su Yi’s movies and TV shows. Hence, she was familiar with Su Yi’s appearance.

With Yun Jinping fixated on her, Shen Xi thought the former was inquiring about the shoot. Shen Xi said, “Mom, I’m not doing the scene.”

Yun Jinping did not intend to ask her anything but was simply looking at her. Xixi looked very much like Li Jingran and had a DNA test to prove. She never doubted that Shen Xi was not Li Jingran and Su Yi’s biological daughter.

She would be getting way ahead of herself if this girl turned out to have no relations to the Su family. On the other hand, if Yun Jinping’s guess was right, the girl might be Su Yi’s illegitimate daughter.

Coming from an entertainment background, Su Yi got together with Li Jingran for his second marriage. His ex-wife was the mother of Yuan Yu, Xixi’s brother. The Su couple was actually an indirect cause of his ex-wife’s death. It was no surprise for a person of Su Yi’s character to have an illegitimate daughter somewhere out there.

Zhou Zhen made her way over and gave Shen Xi a dirty look before acting cute in front of Wang Cai. “Wait a minute, Mr. Wang. The extra is my girlfriend and a good friend. She’s not late on purpose. It’s not like she can control traffic.”

The fuss kicked up by Zhou Zhen made Wang Cai red in the face. With that attitude of hers, people would think there was some shady business going on between them. God knew he merely held talents in high esteem and had no interest in her in that way. Pulling a straight face, Wang Cai chided, “Cut it out.”

Zhou Zhen knew her stuff and was actress material. Putting aside her eccentric behavior, she was able to get into character well. She had a bright acting future ahead of her on the condition that she changed her promiscuous ways and stopped trying to get into people’s pants.

“Just give it a little bit more time, Mr. Wang. Let the others get on with other scenes first.” Zhou Zhen threw Shen Xi a smug and defiant look.

Ha! So long as Zhou Zhen was around, there was no chance she was going to let Shen Xi be a part of the movie. This was payback!
