Chapter 86: As Long As Miss Xuan Wants
Xuan Xia didn’t even need to bother looking for the source of the voice. Lu Mindan, dressed in a gorgeous fiery red costume, swayed over proactively.
Once changed into the costume and with her makeup done, Lu Mindan transformed into the female third lead in the script, Princess Yang Tan of Chi Yan Kingdom.
In the script’s setting, Chi Yan Kingdom is the descendants of the fire god Zhurong and worships flames, so red is the dominant color in costumes, followed by gold.
Just like the golden flame patterns on the red dress Lu Mindan was wearing now.
The most striking part of her makeup was also a pair of fiery red lips and a touch of red eyeliner at the corner of her eye.
It had to be said that Lu Mindan, under such opulent makeup and styling, truly had that aggressive villainess aura.
Right, she was the villainess in the script.
Lu Mindan stopped a few steps away, her line of sight first sweeping over Yang Wanxiu before landing on Xuan Xia’s face, then speaking in a Yin and Yang tone.
“If I knew it would end up benefiting someone else, why did I bother putting in the effort to train her back then. I really just made a wedding dress for someone else.”
Hearing this, Yang Wanxiu didn’t even dare look her way, just kept her eyes down staring intently at the small fan in her hand, as if the small fan needed her gaze to generate power.
Xuan Xia sat up straighter, her face showing curiosity as she countered, “Senior Disciple Sister, are you talking about someone’s gossip?”
Lu Mindan didn’t hear the words after that, only catching “Senior Disciple Sister,” and immediately looked unhappy.
“Who are you calling Senior Disciple Sister!”
“Of course it’s you, Sister Dan.” Xuan Xia looked completely matter-of-fact. “We’re both under Brother Ji, so we’re from the same sect. You debuted earlier, so of course you’re the Senior Disciple Sister.”
But Lu Mindan looked thoroughly displeased.
As soon as Xuan Xia mentioned Ji Ziyao, Lu Mindan could only think of how Ji Ziyao wouldn’t let her connect with Lin Zhihan, blocking her from getting resources, and for that, the two had argued again last night.
Right, Ji Ziyao had also refused to let her join the dating show, making her miss the opportunity to get to know Zhou Shiqing.
Yet he turned around and gave such a great opportunity to Xuan Xia right in front of her!
Not only that, even her assistant by her side, Ji Ziyao had reassigned to Xuan Xia.
The more Lu Mindan thought about it, the more she felt Ji Ziyao’s favoritism was extreme, and as for Xuan Xia, she hated her more and more.
Everything she wanted, he gave to the other, and Lu Mindan even suspected Xuan Xia was deliberately stealing her resources.
What kind of grudge!
Xuan Xia, who was being resented, was completely oblivious and even smiled under Lu Mindan’s gaze.
She even said, “Thank you, Senior Disciple Sister.”
Lu Mindan furrowed her brows. “What are you thanking me for?”
Xuan Xia smiled and pointed to her side. “Thanks to Senior Disciple Sister for training Xiuxiu so well, letting me pick up such a great bargain for free.”
Lu Mindan: !!!
Even a fool could tell Xuan Xia was deliberately showing off to provoke her.
But Lu Mindan was still provoked.
Not only did she see Yang Wanxiu, she also noticed Li Xinze on Xuan Xia’s other side, making her even angrier.
Thinking of how with her own status, she only had one assistant by her side, but Xuan Xia, who had just debuted, had two people with her.
Lu Mindan couldn’t help roaring inwardly: Ji Ziyao, could you be any more biased?!
Her line of sight scanned around, wanting to find Ji Ziyao for another argument, to see what he could say this time. But after looking around, she found Ji Ziyao didn’t seem to be nearby.
Lu Mindan irritably said to the assistant following behind her, “Where’s Ji Ziyao? Go find him!”
The assistant quickly said, “There seems to be a media visit today, Brother Ji went to handle it.”
Media visit? Lu Mindan instinctively glanced at Xuan Xia. It couldn’t be for her again, right?
Lu Mindan thought it very likely, and inwardly cursed Ji Ziyao as a dog thing again.
After cursing Ji Ziyao, she snorted a laugh at Xuan Xia, muttered “In your dreams” and turned to leave haughtily.
As soon as Lu Mindan left, the fat girl following her immediately caught up, but before doing so, the fat girl glanced at Yang Wanxiu.
That look seemed to say: The new artist you’re following is so troublesome, needing two people to serve her, and you’re not doing that well either.
Responding to the fat girl were three expressionless faces.
After watching Lu Mindan walk far away, Xuan Xia reached out, taking the fans from both sides into her own hands, then turned around to blow air on the two, “Hot? Let me cool you off.”
Li Xinze: “No need, Miss Xuan.”
Yang Wanxiu was also flattered: “I’m not hot, Xia Xia. Let me blow on you.”
Xuan Xia dodged Yang Wanxiu’s outstretched hand. “Alright, I’ve had enough. Now it’s your turn to enjoy. We help each other.”
Li Xinze had been standing, but upon hearing this, he half-squatted down, so Xuan Xia didn’t have to hold up the fan.
But he didn’t squat just to enjoy it; he had something to say to Xuan Xia.
“Miss Xuan, I saw that Lu lady earlier isn’t a good sort. If there’s anything you need me to do, just say the word.”
Xuan Xia: “…”
“For example?” she probed.
Li Xinze smiled. “Anything Miss Xuan wants, I can try my best to make it happen. If Miss Xuan doesn’t want to see her again, it’s not impossible for her to disappear tomorrow.”
Naiyizu Te?!
If she had been drinking water, Xuan Xia probably would have sprayed it all out right then.
In a tone of disbelief, she said, “Brother Li, when you usually follow Daoist Master Qin, do you just handle this kind of thing?”
Li Xinze then put on a puzzled expression. “Has Miss Xuan misunderstood something? What I mean is, if Miss Xuan wants the other party to disappear…”
See see see, where had she misunderstood!
“Brother Li…” Xuan Xia hurriedly stopped Li Xinze. Could he say that kind of thing in broad daylight?
But Li Xinze stubbornly finished his words. “Mr. Qin knows quite a few people, many of whom have investments in this industry, so they should be able to help Miss Xuan. Things like recasting aren’t hard to arrange.”
Xuan Xia: “…”
Alright, she had thought wrong.
It was just that Li Xinze’s tone was way too suggestive.
“No need, thanks Brother Li.”
Li Xinze observed Xuan Xia’s expression, confirmed her attitude, quickly agreed, paused, and then brought up another person.
“What about that Mr. Lin who chatted you up earlier?” Li Xinze asked. “If Miss Xuan needs anything, just say it.”
With Lin Zhihan, Li Xinze could tell at a glance he was full of schemes, relying on his bit of capital to do whatever he wanted with young girls.
Li Xinze had dealt with who knows how many such people before.
Now this guy clearly had designs on Xuan Xia, and Li Xinze had wanted to ask if she wanted him to do something about it, but only now had the chance.
“He’s the male lead of this drama! You want him to disappear too?” Xuan Xia asked in disbelief. “Do you know how many investors put money into this drama because of him?”
Li Xinze was about to say something when Xuan Xia quickly stopped him.
“Brother Li, you’re just an assistant right now.” She emphasized. “For this period, please forget Daoist Master Qin is in your head!”
Naiyizu Te = take him/her out
