Chapter 98

er teeth and washed her face as well, muttering curses under her breath. Looking at the two people in front of him in the mirror, Ye Fei Mo paused for a moment before pretending nothing happened and c...Chapter 98

Lin Ning's style is well-known to everyone. However, Han Bi has always been elegant and graceful; under the gaze of many people, she must maintain her image when confronted by Lin Ning’s provocations. This highlights the difference between a fake lady and a true rogue.

For example, renowned director Lin would storm out in a rage after hearing an unsatisfactory question from a reporter at the premiere of his film. His reputation as a rogue is well-established; it could be said that the more rogue-like he acts, the more like Lin Ning he appears.

Hence, Han Bi can only simmer with anger.

Is this what people call the conflict between big-name directors and big-name artists Everyone wonders but is accustomed to Lin Ning's style. He rarely praises anyone and his words are particularly harsh, almost venomous.

Cai Xiao Jing smiles inwardly; having Lin Ning involved has saved a lot of effort for her.

Han Bi isn't one to back down either, smiling sweetly as she says, "Director Lin, you're seven or eight years older than me but don’t have any crow’s feet. How could I dare to grow them"

"Sure enough, big boobs and no brains! Men are like flowers at thirty-one while women become withered peach blossoms by twenty-five; if you don't understand these sayings, it's terrifying how uncultured you are, even failing to grasp common proverbs." Lin Ning’s mouth is particularly venomous, causing Han Bi's face to turn ashen.

Especially that remark about being uncultured!

Han Bi had been called that by Cheng Anya in the past. "Miss Han, you are uncultured; could it be that even the basic principles of life elude your understanding"

Due to her family background, Han Bi quit high school early and started working. What she feared most was being labeled as uncultured. But what does it matter if she lacks a degree She still manages to thrive in the entertainment industry.

How many women can claim to have done better than her in China

But because Cheng Anya had once insulted her, she had harbored resentment towards her ever since. Even though she pursued film and television courses and obtained a diploma in the process, it was still an unresolved issue for her.

Cheng Ying didn't know what conflict existed between the two women but deliberately stepped forward to mediate. Lin Ning ignored Han Bi's contorted expression and walked towards Ruiwarm with a lecherous smile on his face, "Little Warm, what are you filming Come here, let me guide you."

His tone was both flirtatious and intimate, as if he and Ruiwarm had been close friends for ages. He casually put an arm around her shoulder, still smiling. Although Lin Ning wasn't young anymore—around thirty—he looked youthful. This man seemed to have a prolonged adolescence combined with good grooming habits and skincare routines, making him appear like a twenty-something instead of his actual age. His traditional handsome appearance made him look quite suitable standing next to Ruiwarm.

Cai Xiaojing glanced at the interaction between Lin Ning and Ruiwarm but continued working as there were no paparazzi on set; everyone knew about Lin Ning's style. Zhang, the director, raised an eyebrow and pointed at Ruiwarm, "Are you two close"

Just how close

He had always said it: How could this naive girl, Warm, replace Gu Yiting as Princess Xiangxiang if there wasn't some sort of relationship between them If Lin Ning was backing her, everything made sense.

Lin Ning laughed charmingly, "Baby, are we close"

Ruiwarm shuddered and shook her head decisively, "Director Lin, we're not at all familiar with each other."

"Oh my, Miss, you come to my show and say we aren't acquainted Are you trying to get yourself killed" With a mock angry expression on his face, he patted Ruiwarm's head. Everyone was shocked; what exactly was the relationship between Lin Ning and Ruiwarm

The night at Casablanca only involved Chen Hang, the executive producer, one of the assistant directors, and others who were aware of the close ties between Ruiwarm and Ye Ersha. Later inquiries by someone led to Ruiwarm vaguely mentioning that she just happened to know Madam Ye, an explanation everyone found dubious but chose to believe due to her innocent demeanor.

Everyone still harbored doubts in their hearts.

Chen Hang liked Ruiwarm no matter whether he was engrossed in his acting or captivated by her charm outside of the film. He also witnessed Ye Nimo taking Ruiwarm away and wondered about their relationship.

However, all of Ye Nimo's rumored girlfriends were eager to be featured on entertainment news headlines for increased exposure and fame maintenance, whereas Ruiwarm quietly remained out of the limelight. Moreover, rumors about Ye Nimo continued daily without fail.

So he didn't think that Warm would have any connection with Ye Feimo.

After all, in their eyes, Ye Feimo belonged to a different world from them.

Now, everyone watching Lin Ning and Warm being affectionate was very surprised and couldn't help but imagine such a scene.

The headline on the Anning International Entertainment front page read: "Sizzling Upper Management Relationships in Anning, Secrets They Can’t Reveal." It depicted Young Master Ye II and Director Lin facing off evenly, their romantic paths crossing with jealousy flying, while Warm stood innocently between them.

Everyone shivered.

Director Zhang was surprised. He glanced at Warm and asked, "What role did she play in your show"

Lin Ning had never mentioned her before, so she couldn't bring herself to say it was a stand-in role. She couldn’t help but laugh and said, “She’s just a bit player, not important at all. Director Lin, how come you have time to visit our set”

Director Lin let go of Warm and grinned wickedly, "I’m going to reshoot Bai Xiwen's scenes in ‘Beauty Topples the City’ later on. I’ll talk with Young Master Ye II about it right away. Director Zhang, I heard you all are working overtime tonight, so I hope it won’t be inconvenient for you if I borrow someone."

Director Zhang snorted coldly; was that what he meant by inconvenient

Would inconvenience look like something he had the right to do

Cai Xiaojing, who was standing nearby, raised her eyebrows in surprise. To reshoot Bai Xiwen's scenes—did Lin Ning mean... She felt excited. Han Bi narrowed her eyes; she understood Director Lin’s meaning as well.

Did he want Warm to replace Bai Xiwen for the New Year film

Warm isn't stupid, but she is somewhat surprised.

Now that it's getting close to December, will there be enough time to reshoot

Furthermore, she still needs to film her scenes for "Princess Qinglian," and as for "Beauty Topples the City," who doesn't know that Bai Xiwen is the main actress Changing her would mean Tang Shi has to spend money on a new round of promotion.

To top it off, Bai Xiwen's reputation has already tarnished this film. Even if Lin Ning supports it, its box office won't be too good. Is she going there just to be cannon fodder

Director Zhang also looked at Lin Ning in surprise, "So you mean for Warm to take over 'Beauty Topples the City'"

"That's right. I already disliked Bai Xiwen from the start and cut most of her scenes out. Now, I plan to bring those back. Since everyone else has done their parts, I'll just have Warm redo them."

Lin Ning glanced at Warm, "Let's change the name altogether. How about 'Red Beauty Brings Misfortune'"

The warm smile in his eyes left her confused; what was she supposed to do

What Warm didn't know was that Tang Shuwen almost got into a fight with Ye Feimo over this film, which was jointly produced by Tang Shi and several investment companies. She was the main investor.

The production cost was huge, and preliminary promotions were already in place.

To vent his anger for Warm, Ye Feimo had ruined Bai Xiwen without even warning anyone. Back then, Tang Shuwen had given Bai Xiwen a chance on this film but didn't treat her any differently from the other actors.

So what if he ruined her The key point is that "Beauty Topples the City" hasn’t been released yet! He relied heavily on its performance for his second half of the year. Now, with Ye Feimo making Bai Xiwen's reputation a complete loss, who would pay to see this film

Even if Lin Ning’s name guarantees some viewership, it still wouldn't make up for the losses. This made Tang Shuwen want to stomp on Ye Feimo. and the bartender brought it over. It was colorful and looked very beautiful. Chen Xueru tasted a sip of it and found it quite enjoyable, with its sour yet sweet taste.The bartender said, "This cockt...
