Chapter 559: Chapter 557: Shameless People are Invincible in the World
So Xiao Jinglan also understood that nothing she said now would make any difference.
She suddenly felt a bit lost; was telling Xiao Mo that he was a child of the Song Family really the right thing to do?
Because He Wanshan and his daughter had been dealt with, Lu Zhaozhao had been enjoying a lot more peace on set.
Normally, except for Bai Qing occasionally coming over to practice lines with her, she was hardly disturbed by anyone else.
Perhaps it was because of He Xintian’s affair, but Bai Qing always seemed to wear a guilty look around her, bringing her little snacks from time to time.
Lu Zhaozhao accepted almost everything without refusal; after all, she had indeed helped him out with the big trouble that was He Xintian. There was no point in turning down free treats.
"Thud thud thud!"
Someone suddenly knocked on the door of Lu Zhaozhao’s dressing room.
Thinking it was Bai Qing again, she didn’t pay much attention and waved her hand to let her assistant open the door.
Unexpectedly, the person who entered was the second male lead of the production, Zhao Qingfeng.
Lu Zhaozhao’s brows couldn’t help but arch; she had heard that the second male lead had been delayed due his previous filming, hence he hadn’t joined the group on time.
Since the delay wouldn’t be for too many days, the director simply postponed his scenes.
So during her time with the crew, Lu Zhaozhao had indeed not seen Zhao Qingfeng before.
"Teacher Lu, hello, I’m the second male lead in our drama, my name is Zhao Qingfeng, you can call me Qingfeng."
Zhao Qingfeng greeted Lu Zhaozhao with a particularly bright smile, his eyes sparks with allure.
Lu Zhaozhao narrowed her eyes subtly, nodding in acknowledgment.
She really didn’t like the type of man that Zhao Qingfeng represented—not his looks, but the "like me, take me" vibe he exuded wherever he went.
If you put it nicely, you’d say he’s overflowing with charm; if not, you could just say... lecherous and cheap.
Especially the way Zhao Qingfeng looked at her always made her feel uncomfortable.
Lu Zhaozhao knew it was wrong to label someone based on their looks and aura, but... she truly felt uncomfortable interacting with Zhao Qingfeng.
Zhao Qingfeng seemed completely unaware of this and took a few more steps toward her, "I heard that our crew recently had a crazy fan, pestering Teacher Bai and Teacher Lu; it really made me feel concerned for you."
With that, he casually sat down next to Lu Zhaozhao, as if he were an old friend.
Zhao Qingfeng indeed had an ulterior motive for his visit. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Soon after confirming he would join the crew, his agent called him over, mentioning that a mysterious person was willing to pay money for him to seduce Lu Zhaozhao.
Naturally, Zhao Qingfeng hesitated at first.
After all, who in the Shangjing Circle didn’t know of Lu Zhaozhao’s reputation, wasn’t aware of who she was?
She was the CEO’s wife of the Song Group, the newly found little princess of XJ Corporation, with a status as solid as can be.
But precisely because of these titles, there were no shortage of people around her trying to make their moves.
However, Lu Zhaozhao was usually so elusive that even people in the showbiz rarely saw her.
Most of what he knew was from what he’d heard through performers from his last collaboration with Lu Zhaozhao.
He’d been told Lu Zhaozhao was incredibly approachable, unlike the high-profile figures one normally met.
He’d heard she was even more beautiful in person than in her photographs.
He’d heard that when Lu Zhaozhao was filming, she and her husband were living separately.
"I’ve heard..."
He had heard a lot, but when he actually saw Lu Zhaozhao, he found himself struggling to walk away.
Lu Zhaozhao indeed looked beautiful, even more so than any other female artists he had seen before.
Plus, although she was an artist, she didn’t wear makeup often, so her skin was exceptionally good.
Even in the dressing room without any makeup, she was stunningly beautiful.
Zhao Qingfeng had been considering whether or not to agree to his manager’s suggestion, but he was swayed the moment he saw Lu Zhaozhao.
What man wouldn’t like such a beautiful woman with an extraordinary background?
He knew he couldn’t compare with Song Sinian in terms of status and position, but women don’t necessarily favor men with high status and power. When they feel lonely and cold, they prefer the man who offers them warmth and concern.
Having lurked in the entertainment industry for so many years, he was always lacking that explosive opportunity. If he secured Lu Zhaozhao this time, even if she carelessly shared a bit of her resources with him, it would be enough for him to swagger through the industry.
Thinking of the many superficial marriages in the Shangjing Circle, Zhao Qingfeng was not worried that Song Sinian would cause him trouble.
After all, as the CEO of the Song Group, he wouldn’t want the news of being cuckolded to spread throughout the whole Shangjing Circle, would he?
The more Zhao Qingfeng thought about it, the more feasible he found the plan.
Perhaps Song Sinian had a bunch of mistresses and if he helped distract Lu Zhaozhao, Song Sinian might even be thankful to him.
Lu Zhaozhao had never liked this overly familiar man, and her eyebrows nearly twisted into a knot when she heard him say the words "concerned for you".
"Thank you, Teacher Zhao, for your concern, but this matter is already in the past."
She was expressionless, leaving no room for soft talk for this man.
Having mixed in the circle for so long, Zhao Qingfeng was shrewd. How could he not understand?
But there’s a saying that goes, "One doesn’t slap a smiling face."
He simply pretended not to understand Lu Zhaozhao’s words, continuing with a big grin, "I’ve just joined the crew a few days ago. Could Teacher Lu do a scene with me?"
Lu Zhaozhao glanced at Zhao Qingfeng, "I’m just a female supporting role 4, and I don’t have many scenes with the male lead 2. If you want to rehearse, you should find the female lead 2. After all, you are the ’ship’, right?"
"Could Teacher Lu be jealous?" Zhao Qingfeng squinted his eyes, still keeping that shallow smile, exuding a sense of mockery and indulgence.
It made Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes hurt just to glance at him.
Did this man leave his brain at home?
Does he even think before he speaks?
On what basis did he assume she was jealous?
She barely even knew him; what was there to be jealous about?
Zhao Qingfeng noticed Lu Zhaozhao’s complexion turning sour and immediately chuckled, "I was just joking with you, Teacher Lu. Aren’t we childhood sweethearts in the drama? I’m just trying to practice some scenes in advance, please don’t mind..."
He spoke nonchalantly, as if it would be unreasonable of Lu Zhaozhao to blame him at this moment.
Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth, experiencing for the first time what "shameless people are invincible" really meant.
She slightly lifted her gaze, her expression unchanged as she looked at Zhao Qingfeng, "Why would I mind? Teacher Zhao, your dedication is truly admirable."
As she said that, she picked up a cup of tea from the table, intending to splash it in Zhao Qingfeng’s face, when the door was knocked on again.
This time, before the assistant could open the door, it was pushed open from the outside.
The person who entered was Bai Qing. Seeing Zhao Qingfeng in Lu Zhaozhao’s dressing room, his brows immediately furrowed, seeming quite displeased...
