Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1731: Chapter 1634: Bring It On

Since Su Lingxue is now considered the prospective top actress of Huan Rui, most people, out of respect for Huan Rui, wouldn’t openly fall out with her. Even if they don’t like her, they still manage to get along on the surface.

So now, hearing that someone actually dared to retort Su Lingxue, Huo Sining was immediately surprised and couldn’t help but look toward the person speaking.

The person who sarcastically remarked about Su Lingxue was Xie Yuxing, a veteran in the entertainment industry. Although she often played supporting roles in various movies and dramas, her excellent acting skills earned her a good reputation in the circle.

This time, Xie Yuxing played the third female lead in ”The Legend of the Mermaid.” Although her role was not extensive, she was quite respected by Zheng Lixiang.

Besides Huo Sining, the person who was least fond of Su Lingxue within the crew was probably Xie Yuxing.

Xie Yuxing couldn’t stand Su Lingxue’s two-faced behavior—especially seeing her fawn over Huo Sining yet secretly sabotage her during filming further deepened Xie Yuxing’s disdain for Su Lingxue.

However, if it were just this, Xie Yuxing wouldn’t have outright fallen out with Su Lingxue.

The real reason for her hatred was tied to the movie ”The Greatest Countryman.”

Xie Yuxing had auditioned for the third female lead in ”The Greatest Countryman,” and Zheng Ke had initially nodded in agreement to give her the role. However, unexpectedly, at the last moment, the crew changed their decision, and the role went to the newcomer Su Lingxue instead.

That movie later became a huge hit, and Su Lingxue gained a large fan base from it. This made Xie Yuxing feel she lost her best chance for career advancement, causing her to harbor a deep resentment toward Su Lingxue. From then on, they haven’t gotten along, and Xie Yuxing would seize any opportunity to mock Su Lingxue, both overtly and covertly.

Now seeing Su Lingxue trying to hype up her image by associating with Shangguan Zhuo, Xie Yuxing didn’t hold back and directly mocked her.

Su Lingxue wasn’t someone easy to provoke. Hearing Xie Yuxing’s taunt, she dropped her act and replied with a cold sneer:

”At least that’s better than someone who’s played hundreds of roles but still hasn’t become popular.”

”You!” Xie Yuxing’s face flushed red, pointing at Su Lingxue, rendered speechless by anger.

Xie Yuxing had been in the industry for over a decade, even entering it earlier than Su Lingxue. Despite acting in over a hundred films and TV dramas, her appearance restricted her to various supporting roles, never landing a lead role.

Over the years, many peers became famous, while she remained stuck in the second or third tier, struggling bitterly, so Su Lingxue’s words hit her sore spot.

Winning a verbal victory, Su Lingxue let out a cold snort, glanced at Xie Yuxing with satisfaction, then turned around, her eyes coldly sweeping past Huo Sining.

”What were you laughing at just now?” Su Lingxue asked heavily.

Huo Sining’s face remained smiling, though her eyes flashed coldly. She withdrew her gaze, not even glancing at Su Lingxue, as if she hadn’t heard her question. Instead, she gently smiled at Shangguan Zhuo:

”Brother Shangguan, where are you going for dinner later? Take me along.”

Shangguan Zhuo, surprised, looked up at Huo Sining, then laughed, ”Sure, I remember you’re from Bashu, right? I know a place here near the film base that serves authentic Sichuan cuisine. It’s quite good, I’ll take you to try it.”

Su Lingxue was enraged by Huo Sining’s blatant disregard and even more so as she saw Huo Sining arranging dinner with Shangguan Zhuo right in front of her!

Yet Shangguan Zhuo’s attitude towards Huo Sining was starkly different from his cold, distant treatment of her. Huo Sining merely asked casually, and Shangguan Zhuo immediately cared, his eyes brimming with a genuine smile, not at all forced.

This stark contrast infuriated Su Lingxue, her anger rising fiercely, her face twisted with rage as she spat, ”Didn’t you hear me? Do you really think that being supported by the Gu Family makes you untouchable? Do you believe I can’t ruin you in a minute, make you unable to stay in the entertainment circle?”

”Ruin me in a minute? You think you can?”

Huo Sining instinctively raised her hand to rub her ear, as if in disbelief of what she’d just heard. She sidelong glanced at the enraged Su Lingxue, her face thick with sarcasm, ”Alright then, I’ll be right here waiting. As long as Miss Su has the skill! Just bring it on!”

People like Su Lingxue, who thought too highly of themselves, Huo Sining had seen plenty, though it depended on whether she felt like entertaining such antics.

Huo Sining looked at Su Lingxue with interest, waiting for her next move.

Wasn’t she going to ruin her reputation? Huo Sining was curious to see if a mere actress from an entertainment company had the capability!

Huo Sining’s leisurely expression froze the atmosphere on the set for a moment.

After her heated words, Su Lingxue suddenly realized Huo Sining’s identity. Although there was no exact news online declaring Huo Sining as an offspring of high-ranking officials, one could infer from her status and vast family assets that her background wasn’t something a small-time actress could contend with.

Realizing this, Su Lingxue couldn’t help but panic a little, her expression stiffened and turned from white to blue. She turned her head aside, biting her lip.

”Miss Huo, I am sorry, our Lingxue didn’t mean to contradict you, she was just tired from today’s filming and was a little emotional.”

Seeing that Su Lingxue was about to clash with Huo Sining, the previously silent Huang Jingwen suddenly spoke with a smile, trying to smooth things over amicably for Huo Sining.

Huo Sining gave an indifferent response, and Huang Jingwen apologized once more, then dragged Su Lingxue toward the dressing room. While walking, she didn’t forget to say aloud:

”Lingxue, since Mr. Shangguan is unwilling, we can just go ourselves. It’s not a big deal. Why cause a conflict over something so trivial? If others lack manners, we shouldn’t be petty, it would be beneath us.”

Huang Jingwen’s words, veiled and unveiled, accused Huo Sining and Xie Yuxing of being impolite. Huo Sining coldly chuckled; Huang Jingwen indeed had quite a mouth! No wonder she was Huan Rui’s top manager!
