Celebrity girl is my wife novel Chapter 58

Ning Ran could see that the director was troubled.

If it had been the director who refused her request, she would’ve accepted it. After all, the director was the one in charge.

But Luo Fei butting in and putting pressure on the director made Ning Ran upset.

“Director, who’s the one in charge on this set? You? Or Ms. Fei?” asked Ning Ran pointedly.

Wang Yan couldn’t answer that since all the staff members are there.

After all, he couldn’t admit that Luo Fei was more powerful than he was. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get anyone else to listen to him in the future.

On the other hand, he can’t go against Luo Fei either, because that was the sponsor’s girlfriend, and he couldn’t afford to offend her.

Fortunately, Wang Yan was an experienced director and knew just how to deal with awkward situations like that.

“Ms. Fei was right. It’s not really about who’s in charge though, it’s about what’s best for the show.”

“So are you going to let me go or not?” Ning Ran felt like she was on her last leg.

“Maybe hold it in for just a little while longer?” suggested the director.

Obviously, the director was siding with Luo Fei and making Ning Ran stay.

“What are you guys chatting about over here?”

Zhen Lunlun walked over all of a sudden.

“Ding Mi is sick and needs to go see a doctor right away. We’re asking for the director’s permission now,” explained Cheng Xiangyun before anyone could speak.

“Sick? What’s wrong? I knew I saw something off about you!” said Zhen Lunlun in a worried tone.

“I…” Ning Ran was too shy to say that her skin was itching.

“You look terrible! Come on, I’ll drive you to the hospital.”

Worried, Zhen Lunlun forgot that he was supposed to pretend they’re not friends so he held Ning Ran’s hand and walked off with her.

Everyone was shocked.

“Ah, let me go! The director rejected my request.” Ning Ran tried to pry her hand off of Zhen Lunlun’s hand.

“Director, why did you reject that request?” asked Zhen Lunlun after he turned around to face the director.

“Uh… well, the production team has made the arrangements…”

“Arrangement my a**! Actors are not tools! How could you deny them medical attention when they’re sick?” growled Zhen Lunlun.

“Lunlun, don’t put it like that. That woman is extremely sly. She’s just slacking off…” interrupted Luo Fei.

“Who the hell are you, old woman? Who allowed you to talk to me like we’re friends?” Zhen Lunlun cut Luo Fei’s words short.

Luo Fei was stunned and for a moment, she couldn’t speak.

Zhen Lunlun actually knew that Luo Fei was a third-rated celebrity. He was only out of the business for half a year so he was still up-to-date about the happenings of the industry.

Besides, Luo Fei had another important role – as his third uncle’s girlfriend… by reputation, at least.

However, Luo Fei never had the chance to get to know Nan Chen’s family so she didn’t know that this famous and handsome celebrity was Nan Chen’s nephew.

Luo Fei even tried to create rumors of a love interest between her and Zhen Lunlun, but Zhen Lunlun had kept his distance.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the hospital. We’re not shooting any more scenes today. I’ll pay for whatever loss the production incurs,” said Zhen Lunlun in a domineering manner.

“Don’t be reckless, Zhen…” Wang Yan tried to reason with him.

“I freaking hate heartless directors like you who don’t treat actors like they’re humans. Your actress is sick and you’re pressuring her to keep working. If anything were to happen to her, would you be able to compensate?” demanded Zhen Lunlun.

Wang Yan kept his mouth shut.

Zhen Lunlun was the male lead actor appointed by Nan Chen himself whereas Luo Fei was Nan Chen’s girlfriend.

The duo being on opposite sides meant that he would be on the wrong side, regardless.

And so he decided to act dumb and let the duo fight among themselves.

Luo Fei watched as Zhen Lunlun took Ning Ran away. She wanted to stop them but was worried about pissing Zhen Lunlun off.

The industry favors the famous ones so the more famous you are, the more powerful you are.

Zhen Lunlun may be young, but he was famous. He was the man who was featured in the Times Magazine. She couldn’t afford to make an enemy out of superstars like that. If anything, she needed to befriend him.
