Chapter 157: Active Provocation

Chapter 157

Rong Dai looked at the table full of cosmetics and listened to her sister-in-law's chattering. The smile on her face remained undiminished.

It was just as expected - no matter the era, women would always pay extra attention to their appearance.

"Mei Shu, it should be about time for us to attend the dinner party, right?"

Rong Dai glanced at her watch to check the time and reminded Huo Mei Shu.

Huo Mei Shu also took a look at the time and quickly nodded, "Yes, it's time to go, but sister-in-law you need to change into another outfit."

Rong Dai looked at her clothes in confusion, "What's wrong with this outfit?"

Huo Mei Shu folded her arms and shook her finger, "No no no, sister-in-law, you're the female lead, how can you dress so casually?"

"Although this is just an internal cast dinner party, you need to know that people judge others by their clothes in this world."

"I see, one should respect the clothes before respecting the person," Rong Dai nodded, feeling a little helpless that this was the same no matter which era it was.

Huo Mei Shu had great taste. She selected a black evening gown that went past Rong Dai's knees for her and did her hair up.

"There's no time for makeup, but sister-in-law your skin is good, so it's fine without makeup for an occasion like this."

Rong Dai smiled helplessly. The two sisters-in-law then went downstairs after getting ready.

"Get in."

"You bought a car?"

Rong Dai got into the passenger seat, buckled her seatbelt, and asked Huo Mei Shu.

"I'm not rich, this was arranged by my elder brother. I'm just showing you the way," Huo Mei Shu explained helplessly. She had truly witnessed how extremely doting her elder brother was on his wife!

The two sisters-in-law then arrived at the hotel where the dinner party was held. They could see many reporters surrounding the perimeter, blocked by security guards.

After all, "The Supreme Empress" was a hugely anticipated production in the industry when it was announced.

"Isn't that Rong Dai? She's the female lead!"

A sharp-eyed reporter immediately spotted the two sisters-in-law and started snapping away wildly with cameras and recorders.

Rong Dai was already used to the filming equipment from following Jiang Ling on set before, so she had overcome her initial fear and discomfort towards them.

The sisters-in-law quickly entered the dinner party venue, which was very nicely decorated and spacious.

If this was anyone else, she may not have retorted so sharply, but this Yang Wanwan... bore some resemblance to Imperial Concubine Guigui from her past life.

She loathed Imperial Concubine Guigui's face the most. In her past life, she didn't get too involved in the imperial harem, but kept falling into traps and incurred the emperor's displeasure. Imperial Concubine Guigui played no small part in that.

Yang Wanwan didn't expect Rong Dai to directly clap back at her so sharply. She was at a temporary loss for words.

Rong Dai gave a light laugh and picked up the glass of juice on the table. "I have you to thank for the opportunity to take on this role, Miss Yang, since you were late. I'll drink this juice in your honor in lieu of alcohol."

She took the lead in making the toast, then put the glass back down.

Her actions were calm and composed. She didn't shrink back at all despite being a newcomer.

Huo Mei Shu also didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so fierce and directly stand up to Yang Wanwan head-on. She didn't even need to step in!

"Sister-in-law, awesome!"

She gave Rong Dai a big thumbs up right in front of Yang Wanwan, making Yang Wanwan turn green with anger!

She had just overslept a bit and arrived an hour late. Yet this woman of unknown origin had taken advantage of that opening!

This role could have led her to acclaim and glory, but now this Rong Dai had messed it all up. There was no chance left for her now.

Many people at the dinner party had looked over. Seeing Yang Wanwan being put in her place, not a few laughed quietly.

If this was some other rookie performer, she wouldn't have been so courteous!

But the other party was Rong Dai, the wife of the CEO of Huo's Enterprise. She had to be apprehensive.

"Miss Yang, do you have any other instructions? I'd like to go over there and get acquainted with the other crew members," Rong Dai spoke up.

Although she was gradually getting used to life here, the fate of the Rong Household in her past life was still her nightmare.

Seeing this face that resembled Imperial Concubine Guigui, she would think of the Rong Household's tragic end.

While Yang Wanwan's words were provocative, Rong Dai had already retorted back. There was no need to keep quibbling.

"You..."

Yang Wanwan's face turned bright green with anger, but could only watch as Rong Dai and Huo Mei Shu left.

If this was some other rookie performer, she would have shown no courtesy!

But the other party was Rong Dai, the wife of the CEO of Huo's Enterprise. She had to be wary.
