Chapter 45 -45: Miss Ye Family’s Young Lady
Tang Yu shook her head; the director kept yelling “cut”, “cut”, “cut”. The same scene had to be performed dozens of times, back and forth; it felt even more exhausting than moving heavy loads.
Up next was Tang Yu’s scene with Luo Bingbing as adversaries.
In the plot, Tang Yu was the villainous second female lead, as well as Luo Bingbing’s sister. She was the illegitimate daughter while Luo Bingbing was the legitimate one. The illegitimate daughter, having fallen for the male lead, constantly schemed against the legitimate daughter.
The two stood by the pond admiring the flowers and talking, with the illegitimate daughter pushing the legitimate daughter into the pond.
Fake lotus flowers floated on the pond. The camera zoomed in, and they began acting.
Tang Yu tried her best to bring out her emotions but still got stopped by the director several times. Luo Bingbing got so angry that she shoved Tang Yu into the pond—
“Ah!” Tang Yu fell into the pond.
The extremely cold water was unbearable for Tang Yu, and she immediately swam to the edge, preparing to climb out.
Luo Bingbing’s foot stomped directly on her fingers—
“Ah!” Tang Yu forcefully withdrew her hand, which immediately swelled up. She put it into the cold water to reduce the swelling, her wet face glaring at Luo Bingbing. “Do you even want to act anymore?”
“Tang Yu, are you raising your voice at me? Here, I am the boss, what are you?”
Li Xue stepped forward, pleading on behalf of Tang Yu, “Miss Luo, she’s just a newcomer. Please don’t hold it against her. Your makeup is a bit smudged, let me touch it up for you.”
Luo Bingbing touched her face and turned to leave.
Only then could Tang Yu climb out from the pond.
Her body had become somewhat stiff from the cold.
It wasn’t even yet the cold season; even if she fell into the pond, the water shouldn’t be this cold.
Thinking about it, it must have been Luo Bingbing’s doing.
Then, for the second take, right as the dialogue reached its climax, Luo Bingbing pushed Tang Yu in again.
“Oh dear, I’m sorry, I forgot it was me who was supposed to be pushed into the pond. I’m not really in the best state today. Director, let’s shoot this scene tomorrow instead!” Luo Bingbing said in an affected manner.
Li Xue immediately found a blanket for Tang Yu, who had climbed out of the pond, and hastily covered her before rushing off to Luo Bingbing’s dressing room to do her makeup.
Tang Yu’s face had turned white with cold.
The director wouldn’t let her change clothes, saying they would shoot a close-up next, focusing on the face and not the full body.
After being tormented all day, Tang Yu caught a cold the next day and felt completely weak.
Li Xue was worried about her, but what right did she have to protest? After taking her medicine, Tang Yu insisted on personally taking her child to school.
She wore a mask the whole way, fearful of passing the illness to the child.
She then hurried to the set.
She arrived early, and Luo Bingbing surely wouldn’t come so soon; she was notoriously known for her tardiness.
Nobody dared to criticize her for two reasons: one, her family was well-off; two, everyone knew that the man backing Luo Bingbing was Ye Sihan.
Knowing the situation, Tang Yu certainly wouldn’t waste her breath.
Better to keep out of trouble, waiting for Ye Sihan to give the word before she could leave this place.
Perhaps staying wasn’t so bad? Because these past two days, Ye Sihan hadn’t appeared to torment her.
Tang Yu really felt ill, and when she didn’t have a scene, she’d sit restlessly on a chair at the side, head throbbing, and close her eyes, dozing off.
She didn’t know how long she had slept—
“Hey, who said you could sleep here? Go buy me some food.”
Tang Yu woke with a start and saw the haughty Luo Bingbing in front of her, saying, “Don’t you have an assistant? I’m here to act, not to be your errand girl.”
Following behind, Li Xue said, “Miss Luo, shall I buy it for you?”
Luo Bingbing, furious, kicked Li Xue on the knee, and Li Xue stumbled back in pain, “Ah…”
“Is it your turn to speak?” Luo Bingbing snapped.
Tang Yu abruptly stood up, disregarding her own frailty, and went over to help Li Xue, “Sister Xue, are you okay?” 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Li Xue shook her head.
Tang Yu looked at Luo Bingbing with fiery eyes, “Are you sick? Why the hell did you kick her?”
“Oh right, I remember now. It was Li Xue who introduced you to do my makeup, so you two must be close. How about from now on, Li Xue takes care of all your affairs, Tang Yu? Including running errands and taking the bullying,” Luo Bingbing challanged.
Tang Yu clenched her teeth in anger, and if she weren’t worried that Li Xue would be mistreated in her future work, she’d never tolerate this. For now she had to bear it, “Fine, from now on…”
Before she could finish, another woman’s voice came, “I’d like to see who dares to bully my Ye Family’s precious young lady.”
Tang Yu paused, turned around, and was shocked to see the glittering and dazzling Yu Zhaohui swagger over.
How could her mother be here?
Luo Bingbing looked at the woman who had arrived and said displeased, “Who are you?”
“I am Ye Xianghua’s wife, Yu Zhaohui, and also Tang Yu’s birth mother,” Yu Zhaohui declared arrogantly.
Ye Xianghua? Luo Bingbing found the name somewhat familiar.
Then she remembered; that was Ye Sihan’s father, the one he had broken ties with!
Luo Bingbing’s family was also in business. She liked Ye Sihan and had asked her family about him, so she never brought up his family members when she was with Ye Sihan.
“Oh, so you’re the homewrecker who climbed her way up?”
Far from being angry, Yu Zhaohui even smiled. After all, her status was not something Luo Bingbing, a green young thing, could match, “Bullying my child like this, do you think she has no one backing her? Mark my words, if a hair on the Ye Family’s precious young lady is harmed, I’ll never let you off lightly. Just you wait.”
She then took Tang Yu and walked away.
While sitting in Yu Zhaohui’s car, “Xiaoyu, why are you so weak? Not feeling well?”
Tang Yu, with her makeup done, showed no signs of pallor, but her lack of energy was quite evident, “I’m fine. But how did you know I was here?”
“I called you, and some woman answered, said you were on set, so I asked for the address and came here.”
Tang Yu recalled leaving her phone on the makeup table while changing clothes in the makeup room, “You shouldn’t have come.”
“Why shouldn’t I, if I’m your birth mother?”
Tang Yu uneasily looked out the car window at the set not far away. Ye Sihan controlled her; wouldn’t he know about Yu Zhaohui’s appearance?
And Yu Zhaohui was spreading around that she was the ‘Ye Family’s precious young lady’; wasn’t this provoking Ye Sihan?
“If you wanted to become a star, you should’ve just told me, I could introduce you to resources, definitely more famous and with higher traffic than Luo Bingbing!”
“No need. I’m here because of Ye Sihan’s arrangements. He wants to see me suffer, to make my life miserable, controlling every aspect of it. So please, don’t come again. I won’t go to the Ye Family, nor will I enjoy any benefits from them. You better leave!” Tang Yu said, then opened the door and got out of the car.
No matter how Yu Zhaohui called after her from behind, she didn’t look back.
Luo Bingbing had called Zhou Qinghua to inquire about the relationship between Tang Yu and Yu Zhaohui. Zhou Qinghua had only just found out. Learning that Tang Yu, who she had always scorned for being poor, had suddenly become the Ye Family’s precious young lady, she was far from pleased.
The two exchanged words over the phone, each phrase laced with the wish to see Tang Yu’s heart torn out.
After a day’s shooting, it was almost ten o’clock at night.
Luo Bingbing offered to take the director, scriptwriter, and male lead to wine and dine.
“Tang Yu, you should come too,” Luo Bingbing said.
