Jiang Leyi was completely astonished.
Then came disbelief.
Why was everything prepared for Su Ran?
Even the lead role in the web series she had fought so hard for, the lines of which she knew by heart, was snatched away at the last minute when Director Chen suddenly replaced her with Su Ran.
As for her, in everyone’s eyes, she was a nobody with no fame, naturally disposable at any time.
So Director Chen said, if she wasn’t willing to give it up, she had to leave the series, but if she agreed, they would give her a third female role.
Su Ran had taken her lead role, and she was arbitrarily handed a villainous supporting character.
That was that.
The small-time actress originally cast as the third female lead thought Leyi was behind her ousting and hated her for it.
A petty essay by the irrelevant actress put Leyi in the eye of the storm until Xie Zimiao helped to clear her name.
Because it was the director who wanted it so.
That stopped the nonsensical cyber-bullying fiasco.
And now, was this hard-won audition opportunity going to end with Su Ran as the lead again?
Jiang Leyi didn’t believe it. She couldn’t believe someone could easily get everything without trying.
She wouldn’t give up, she had to try.
Jiang Leyi feigned indifference with a laugh, her eyes regaining confidence, "Acting skills can be honed, I’m still young, I will have plenty of chances in the future, right? I will make everyone recognize me."
Her confidence even made Jiang Nanshu believe she could transcend the script’s limitations.
Su Ran was cloaked in the aura of a lead character, every hardship she faced led her to meet someone influential who could help her.
As for cannon fodder like Leyi, without depending on her family, she indeed had only herself to rely on.
Jiang Nanshu’s almond-shaped eyes curved, her lips forming a smirk, "Then I’ll just wait and see."
["Although I don’t know if your efforts will be rewarded, not trying seems more regretful. Sigh, good luck to you, just don’t cry when you’re truly rejected, because I won’t help you."]
Jiang Leyi didn’t count on Jiang Nanshu’s help.
In her eyes, her sister was good for nothing but studying, and Leyi would change her own fate.
Yes, the most important thing right now was.
She would not get involved with any man again!
To prevent being manipulated into donating a kidney or cornea.
That was scarier than being conned out of money.
"Are you still eating? I roasted some vegetables." Jiang Leyi raised the broccoli in her hand.
Before Jiang Nanshu could respond, Chu Muxi approached to just a step away from Leyi, "Yiyi, can I have that skewer? I’m a bit hungry."
She stood where the smoke was thickest, eyes reddening, coughing incessantly.
As if she’d cough up her lungs.
Jiang Leyi eventually couldn’t help but advise, "You can’t eat this, it’s not good for your recovery. Also, you better not stand here, what if your asthma flares up again?"
She didn’t want to be blamed by Chu Xin for endangering Chu Muxi’s life without doing anything wrong.
More importantly, she didn’t want to cause trouble for Jiang Nanshu. It was really annoying.
