Ning Ran grabbed Ye Meng’s hand. “Stop it!”
“Don’t stop me. I must teach this b**** a lesson today!” Ye Meng shrieked, yanking her hand out of Ning Ran’s grip.
“This is too much!” Ning Ran shouted in anger.
“So what? What can you do to me? You b****!”
Ye Meng raised her hand, attempting to slap Cheng Xiangyun again.
Slap!
However, a loud slap landed on her own face.
Ning Ran couldn’t stand it anymore and finally made a move.
“How… How dare you slap me?”
Ye Meng’s vicious face was suddenly replaced by a pitiable expression.
In the next second, tears started trickling down her cheeks.
Her reaction stunned Ning Ran. No wonder she’s a female superstar. Her acting skill is indeed impressive.
“Ms. Ye, can we start now?”
Just then, the director came in. He was shocked when he saw Ye Meng crying. “What’s going on?”
“That woman hit her!” Ye Meng’s assistant pointed at Ning Ran.
In disbelief, the director turned to stare at Ning Ran with widened eyes.
It’s already shocking that a newbie like her can join Channing’s commercial shoot. Now that she’s here for the shooting, she even hit Ms. Ye! Is she crazy? How could she beat a superstar like Ms. Ye?
“She’s the one who started it! Look, she hit me till my nose bled,” Cheng Xiangyun quickly explained.
The director shot a glance at Cheng Xiangyun.
Her nose is really bleeding. Was the fight that bad? How did they get into a fight when they have just met one another? Do they have grudges against each other? Anyway, I’m only a director, so I shouldn’t comment about it in front of these big shots. After all, I don’t have a say in their personal affairs.
“Let bygones be bygones. Fate has brought us together for the commercial shoot, so try to respect and get along with each other,” the director advised them with a smile.
“I had no intention to stir up trouble, but she slapped me. Does she have a prominent background or what? How could she just hit me like that? It’s getting harder to be in the show business. Even a newbie is arrogant enough to get physical with me!”
After saying that, Ye Meng wept louder.
Ning Ran was baffled.
Is she that fragile that she’ll cry whenever she has a conflict with someone? Just a few minutes ago, she was so haughty and overbearing when she slapped Cheng Xiangyun, behaving like a ferocious barbarian. But now she turns into a delicate woman. What a surprising change.
“Ms. Ye, please don’t cry. Touch up your makeup. We’re going to start shooting soon,” the director comforted her.
“I can’t work with her. I’m afraid that she’ll hurt me again. Go ahead with the shooting. I’ll come tomorrow or, better yet, call me when she is done shooting, then I’ll come over,” Ye Meng said.
The director was dumbstruck by her words. Oh no… Ms. Ye wants to leave. The top management has arranged for them to do the shoot together. And I have other commercials to shoot after this. What should I do?
“Ms. Ye, I don’t think this is a good idea. Your schedule is full, so I’m afraid you’ll have no time to spare if you don’t stay for the shoot today,” the director hurriedly persuaded her.
“Fine then. I don’t mind quitting this. I’ve many other commercials, and this one is nothing to me.” Standing up, Ye Meng stormed out of the dressing room.
The director turned to look at Ning Ran. “Ms. Ding, you’re too impulsive. You’ve provoked Ms. Ye so much that she left, and that messed up the shooting schedule. In case the management holds us accountable for this, you’ll have to give them an explanation. I’m not taking the blame.”
