Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Ran Xueyi turned her head to look out of the window where the city's landscape lay spread to the ground. They seemed like tiny infrastructures designed by an architecture student. She looked at this beautiful and peaceful scene before her eyes before turning her head to look at Zhao Fei.

"I don't regret anything." Ran Xueyi was not stupid. "If I were to return to that time and knew this would happen, I would still do it even without anyone's help. I'm not a saint who would let anyone hurt me and never retaliate. It's just that it was such a shame that human emotions could be so fickle and easily manipulated."

Gu Jiao selfish actions and greed destroyed a lot of people's lives. She ruined Producer Luo and destroyed a perfect picture family and marriage of Director Zheng and his wife. Who knows how many other people were affected by her actions.

Feeling that Ran Xueyi's mood was not doing good, Zhao Fei was worried that what happened must have affected her more than she expected. However, just as she was about to say some comforting words, Ran Xueyi suddenly laughed and her eyes were narrowed.

Zhao Fei didn't understand the meaning behind her laugh when Ran Xueyi suddenly changed the topic. She asked, "Sister Zhao, has Chief Producer Li decided on when will the shooting start?"

The shooting has been delayed way too much due to Gu Jiao's interruption. They should really quicken the pace so everyone's time wouldn't be wasted.

Zhao Fei also didn't bother continuing the topic and explained, "Chief Producer Li asked the crew to regroup early this morning. He also called the managers of each actor and actresses included in the cast to inform us that the shooting will officially start tomorrow. There will be no more delay and Wen Lai, who has excused himself because of a prior commitment with another crew, will probably arrive the next day."

Speaking of, Wen Lai, was another main lead of the drama. He was to play the character as the love interest of the character which Ran Xueyi will play. Outside of the script, he was an impressive actor himself and grabbed several awards from different events in the past and almost snatched the Best Actor Awards from Sean Chu. He was also under the same label as Gu Jiao.

Previously, he asked the crew to allow him to take a few weeks of leave due to a conflict with his schedule. The production crew allowed him last time because they couldn't do anything about it.

However, after what happened to Gu Jiao, in order to erase the bad image to their company and also restore the ruined relationship between the production crew and Brilliant Media, they decided to pull out Wen Lai from the variety show and only allowed him to show up in a few episodes of it.

Thankfully, the variety show crew also didn't think much of this and released him from his responsibility as a cast member and let him go.

...

Half a month later, at the filming set.

Director Qing raised the megaphone and shouted, "Xueyi, Wen Lai, and Zhilan, the three of you did well in that scene! We will now move to the next scene so prepare yourselves to modify the mood of your characters!"

Ran Xueyi sighed in relief after hearing this. They had been playing the same scene for almost two hours. Even though she was confident with herself, she wasn't that sure if she could capture the same pure acting over and over again.

Zhilan, who made a lot of mistakes that morning, knew this and bowed to everyone and apologized. "I'm so sorry, everyone! Thank you for your hardwork and for being patient with me!"

Wen Lai patted Zhilan's shoulder and said, "Little sister Zhilan, you should be more careful next time. I really thought that my knees would turn into jelly just now."

Wen Lai's scene this time required him to kneel on the hard floor. Because of Zhilan's repeated mistake, he had to kneel down for two hours. His back was already soaked with his sweat and he couldn't wait to take off his clothes.

Zhilan was ashamed of herself when she heard this. Despite knowing that Senior Wen was joking with her, it still didn't erase the fact that she was not as talented as him or Senior Ran Xueyi in terms of acting skills.

Ran Xueyi also went forward to give some comforting words to this newcomer and said, "Don't worry about it too much. You're just starting so you're excused..." She then turned to Wen Lai and complained in a teasing manner, "But Brother Wen, you also made mistakes earlier so don't be too hard on our little sister!"

Zhilan chorused after her and shouted, "That's right!"

Earlier, Wen Lai couldn't help but laugh whenever Zhilan made a mistake. It wasn't only her who had to be called out by Director Qing.

Wen Lai saw that these two people betrayed him and focused on him. He was deeply hurt since they cultivated a sisterly and brotherly bond during this half month period they spent with each other.

Being pointed at, Wen Lai couldn't suffer in silence and unfairness. He also pointed at Ran Xueyi and said, "You also acted out of character earlier too! Don't slander me, Sister Ran!"

Ran Xueyi and Zhilan didn't expect him to act like this. The two looked at each other in unison before breaking out in laughter. Wen Lai also laughed at their childishness.

The crew only took a quick glance at them before looking away. In the past half month that they worked with everyone, these three stars would always pick on and tease each other. They were already acting as if they were siblings and the crew was also used to them acting like this.

Half a month ago, a lot of people from the production crew were fired and replaced. The tension in the set should have been very stiff and restrained. The stars who have never met each other should also be like this.

However, after acting together in just a few scenes, the stars got along very quickly. And the atmosphere of the set became bright and friendly.

As for Ran Xueyi and Wen Lai, their relationship was surprisingly better. They looked as if they were brother and sister instead of enemies since the actor belonged to the same company as Gu Jiao.
