Chapter 53 Overestimating Oneself

"Exactly, exactly! So overconfident, they don't know their own limits. Just because they're good-looking, they think they can be a third party. Can good looks pay the bills? If it could, they wouldn't be working here."

"Have you heard of a saying, 'Beauty is cursed with misfortune'? Some women, though beautiful, have short lives. And another saying, 'Ambition as high as the heavens, fate as thin as paper'!"

"Who says not..."

Several female assistants spoke with sarcasm.

Although they didn't name anyone, Su Qi knew every word was directed at her.

She walked over silently, picked up the watering can used for dust suppression on set, turned on the switch, and swung it with a flourish.

All the water from the watering can splashed onto the female assistants.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I was trying to suppress dust, but I didn't expect to get you all wet. Please wipe yourselves dry! If you get damp and moldy, you won't feel good!" Su Qi said with a smile, turning off the watering can.

Song Heqing and Song Yiming walked into the lounge and saw this scene.

The slyness in Su Qi's eyes had not yet faded as she came face-to-face with Song Heqing and Song Yiming.

Song Heqing looked at Su Qi deeply. "I heard you went missing. It seems I worried for nothing. You're still bouncing around, truly an unkillable cockroach."

"Cockroaches are so ugly." Song Heqing was too mean.

"Yiming, Su Qi is bullying us."

Seeing Song Yiming arrive, the female assistants rushed forward and cried out to him.

Song Yiming usually treated his assistants very well. As a popular idol, the entire crew treated Song Yiming's assistants better than others, giving them preferential treatment. Any benefits from the crew were also given more to Song Yiming's team.

Over time, the group of female assistants had developed a sense of arrogance.

Song Yiming looked at Su Qi and was stunned. Although it wasn't the first time he had seen Su Qi, it was the first time he truly looked at her.

Having seen countless female celebrities in the entertainment industry, he had never seen anyone as beautiful as a celestial being like Su Qi.

She was truly like the ice-skinned, jade-boned, vibrant, and captivating beauties in dramas, a beauty that could topple nations.

"She didn't mean it. You all should be more careful in the future and not walk under someone's watering can."

As Song Yiming spoke, Su Qi let out a chuckle.

The female assistants were surprised that Song Yiming would speak up for Su Qi, and they were all furious.

They left resentfully. One assistant, unwilling to accept it, cursed Su Qi as a vixen.

Song Heqing stood beside Su Qi and naturally heard it.

Seeing that Su Qi wasn't angry at all, he found it amusing.

"Not angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? Vixens have to be good-looking too, otherwise, why call them vixens?

Su Qi's words amused Song Heqing.

He hadn't expected this great beauty to be more than just a pretty face; she was quite interesting.

Su Qi glanced at the time. "I'm going to have breakfast. Director Song, remember to eat on time and replenish your body!" Song Yiming chuckled again.

Replenish his body.

He indeed needed to replenish his body.

Song Heqing was surrounded by countless young models, some even younger than him. He lived a life of revelry every night; he definitely needed to replenish his body! Song Heqing stared at Su Qi's retreating back, his narrow eyes fixed on her.

"I heard Huo Tingyun rescued her yesterday?"

Su Qi, holding a cup of coffee, knocked on the lounge door.

At that moment, Xu Lin'yun was having her makeup done. Upon seeing Su Qi enter, Xu Lin'yun's attention immediately focused on Su Qi, her eyes fixed on Su Qi in the mirror.

Mo Yu was sitting beside Xu Lin'yun, playing on her phone. Seeing Su Qi enter, she frowned. "Put down the coffee and you can leave."

"Okay."

Su Qi smiled, placed the coffee down, and glanced at Mo Yu.

Suppressing the deep anger in her heart, Su Qi put down the coffee and turned to leave the lounge.

As soon as the door closed, there was a loud bang.

Xu Lin'yun waved her hand, signaling the makeup artist to leave. After the makeup artist left, only Xu Lin'yun and Mo Yu remained in the room.

"Su Qi will definitely find out..."

Xu Lin'yun was very scared, extremely scared. Su Qi had not yet divorced Huo Tingyun. If Su Qi found out the truth, what if she refused to divorce Huo Tingyun?

"It's all your fault! I told you not to do it that way back then. If we hadn't done it that way, Su Qi could have divorced Huo Tingyun earlier. What are we going to do now!"

Xu Lin'yun stomped her feet, almost crying.

Mo Yu handed Xu Lin'yun a tissue. "Don't worry. So what if Su Qi doesn't agree? As long as Huo Tingyun wants a divorce, there are plenty of ways. We didn't manage to kill Su Qi this time, but next time, we might not be so lucky."

"From now on, don't make decisions without my consent!"

Xu Lin'yun did not take the tissue.

She was very angry now. She couldn't believe that Mo Yu, her agent, acted without consulting her and made her own decisions.

Xu Lin'yun angrily left the lounge and received a call from Xu Ru'yun.

"My darling daughter, I heard you were angry with Mo Yu. Sister Mo Yu is Mommy's person. Everything she does is for your own good, for your consideration.

Don't misunderstand Sister Mo Yu. Talk to Sister Mo Yu nicely. Don't let outsiders make us, your own family, unhappy."

"Mom, don't interfere in my affairs anymore. I can handle my own matters."

Xu Lin'yun was very annoyed. Xu Ru'yun had disrupted her plans time and time again, and now Huo Tingyun wouldn't even pay attention to her.

"Listen to Mommy. Mommy will arrange everything for you."

Xu Ru'yun truly loved and felt helpless about her daughter.

This daughter was too soft-hearted. Look at Su Qi; although she was an orphan, her methods were much more skillful.

As the divorce approached, she could still keep Huo Tingyun hooked.

It was probably for the Huo family's assets. kanδん

How could Xu Ru'yun be willing to let Su Qi take away the Huo family's assets?

In her eyes, the Huo family's assets were already within her grasp. Forget about others; Su Qi wouldn't get a single cent.

She needed to get them divorced as soon as possible...

All the scenes today were daytime shoots, so they finished work relatively early, around four o'clock. Su Qi packed up briefly and drove home.

Because she finished work early, Gu Tangxue was going to have a dinner gathering with the crew staff, so she didn't go home. Su Qi parked her car downstairs, and her phone vibrated.

It was an unknown number.

Who could it be...

Su Qi answered and heard Song Heqing's voice on the other end.

"Good evening, would you like to come out for a drink?"

"You have the wrong number, I don't know you."

Su Qi played dumb and was about to hang up.

"It's Song Heqing."

The man's deep voice on the other end carried a hint of helplessness.

Su Qi raised an eyebrow. "What? Director Song wants to see me about the Moonlight script?"

"You're really interesting."

"I don't drink."

She was pregnant, after all, and couldn't drink.
