Chapter 25 Speak On The Spot

She was sure it wasn’t the director’s idea. It must have been Lu Zhen who was behind it. She’s the female lead, so she has a certain right to make suggestions and change the script.

Lu Rou’s face distorted in anger. She ran to Director Li and started crying. “Director Li, why did you suddenly change my persona? Did I do something wrong? Tell me and I’ll change it…”

She made it seem like he had deliberately changed the script to target her. Director Li didn’t like being spoken to like that. He had always been straightforward and didn’t deign to do such things. It was a waste of energy for Lu Rou to try to play games with him. He wasn’t Lu Zhen. He didn’t buy it.

“The screenwriter and I modified the script after we considered the whole situation. Everyone’s busy and no one’s deliberately picking on you,” Director Li snapped.

Lu Rou looked tearful and didn’t listen to Director Li. “Is it because of my sister? I know she misunderstood me deeply, so…”

How could this person be so shameless? She immediately pushed the blame to Lu Zhen as if she wouldn’t be at ease if she didn’t find someone to frame.

Lu Zhen had been standing not far behind Lu Rou. She watched coldly. When she heard Lu Rou start to mislead others again, her smile became even colder.

“Sister, what are you talking about?” Lu Zhen had won an award for best actress. She had been reborn, but she hadn’t lost her acting skills. Instead, her acting skills had become even better.

Her face was pale, and the coldness on it had long since been replaced by heartbreak. “So that’s what you think of me. In your mind, am I responsible for everything you think is bad?”

This extremely aggrieved question made everyone around them watch the drama with interest.

The sisters were at odds again. Everyone wanted to know who was wrong and who was right so that they could take sides and criticize the other in the future.

Lu Zhen recalled the misery of her previous life. She was tightly controlled by the Lu family in the past.

Outside, Lu Rou could say or do whatever she wanted, and she would never explain. She even felt that it wasn’thing, because Lu Rou had never said anything mean in a straightforward manner. Now that she thought about it, Lu Rou was beating around the bush to slander her.

Her aloof personality pushed her into the deep end step by step, paving the way for the Lu family.

Lu Zhen swore that she would never be so stupid again. She would fight back when she had to. She wouldn’t give Lu Rou any chance to bully her.

“Sister, I didn’t mean that. I just…” Lu Rou quickly shook her head, her voice even more aggrieved.

“Then what do you mean? If it was me you suspected, why didn’t you ask me in private first? Why did you come straight to the director?” Lu Zhen pressed.

Sun Xiao quickly nodded at the side. That’s right. This person was looking for the director to discredit Zhenzhen.

Even if the director said that it wasn’t Lu Zhen’s idea, only Lu Rou would hear the explanation.

The others would only see her chatting with Director Li aggrievedly before she made a few insinuations to the media. That group of reporters who liked to distort the truth would definitely write that Lu Zhen was using her identity as the female lead to bully Lu Rou on the set.

Director Li also spoke up for Lu Zhen. “I don’t have to report to you what Lu Zhen said. Besides, the final decision is mine. Lu Rou, put your mind on acting. Don’t play tricks all day long. There’s no need.”

At this moment, there were already many people around. When everyone heard Director Li’s words, they looked at Lu Rou meaningfully.

Lu Rou panicked. Wu Yu and Lu He had reminded her to endure it, especially since she couldn’t provoke Lu Zhen for the next two days lest she cause more trouble.

Her dad was now relying on Lu Zhen to make money. If he found out that she was causing trouble for Lu Zhen, he might…

“I’m sorry, Sister. I was just anxious. I’m fine. Director Li, I’ll film it now. I have no objections to any changes!” Lu Rou suppressed her resentment and forced a smile.

Then she hurried away. Lu Zhen raised an eyebrow. Was that all?

Indeed, people bullied the weak and feared the strong. The kinder and weaker they were, the easier it was to be bullied.

“We’ll shoot another scene with you and Lu Rou later. You should get your makeup done too,” Director Li said to Lu Zhen.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Lu Zhen felt no pressure. She nodded and went to put on her makeup.
