Chapter 358: Comparison
Mo Li reached out to grab Li Min’s wrist. I have no idea where this woman’s sense of superiority comes from that she’d go around calling people ugly. She is not that pretty herself. At most, her looks are passable. Li Min going around bullying others made Mo Li feel uncomfortable.
Li Min glared at Mo Li. “Let me go! Who are you to stand in my way? You are just a puny little girl who hasn’t even entered adult society. Who gave you the right to intervene in my business? Because you are someone from Huan Yu or because you’re from the Mo Family?”
“Miss Li, we’re in the same crew. Even though I agree that every actor should have freedom of creative expression, since the director, Jin Chuan, and many extras have opinions about your acting, perhaps you should discuss with them before you proceed with the filming. Jin Chuan might look unapproachable, but he is actually a very kind person.”
Li Min looked at Mo Li with disbelief before she flung Mo Li’s hand harshly away. “Who are you to lecture me? What does this have to do with you? Plus, why did you bring up Jin Chuan? Is it because you have some unscrupulous relationship with him? That is why he has asked you to join this film, isn’t he?! As expected, without your family and your man, you are nothing!”
“Hey, how can you talk about Miss Mo Li like that?” Xiao Ou was incredulous. This Miss Li Min is really too much. How can she be so different on set and off set? It’s like she has two personalities!
“Hmm? Was I wrong? If she didn’t rely on her family, how did she get her breakthrough so early in her career? Plus, who are you to jump to her defense? This all started because of you! This witch is only pretending to be kind. She is using you like how she is using that man. Just wait and see. She’ll one day stab you behind your back. Unlike you, I’m not that innocent.”
Xiao Ou was rendered speechless.
“Innocent? That is an interesting way to put things.”
When they were arguing, Han Xu walked over. Xiao Ou looked at him, but she couldn’t place him. “You are…”
“This is Han Xue, CEO Han’s assistant. Don’t you remember him?” Mo Li introduced
“Wait! He doesn’t look like the same person at all! Oh, it’s because he doesn’t wear his glasses today! Mo Li, I have no idea this handsome man is also your friend!” Xiao Ou gasped.
Kang Zhi and Ah Ao frowned. They had been guarding Mo Li for days already, but the screenwriter had never called them handsome before.
“Actually, I don’t have myopia, so I feel more comfortable without the glasses. Do you really think I look better without my glasses?” The question sounded like it was directed at Xiao Ou, but Han Xu kept his eyes on Mo Li.
Xiao Ou was touched that so many people cared about her. Other than the treatment from Li Min, she had friends on her side, and that was comforting enough.
“Oh right, I came to look for you guys because of this.” Han Fei took out four boxes of pudding, “I thought I saw you on set that day. I’m surprised that it really is you. Miss screenwriter, come join us!”
How can someone be so kind and handsome? Xiao Ou almost fainted.
“Hmm, it’s delicious! Mo Li, you should eat some too!”
Li Min turned around in disdain. Why… Why is she given such privileged treatment? She even has two men curled around her fingers! Li Min glared at Mo Li. People have told me how pretty and radiant the bitch is but now that I’ve seen her in person, she is nothing compared to me. I know I’m right. The international brands wouldn’t have picked her as their ambassador without her family.
…
That afternoon, Mo Li put on her character’s costume. The female lead, Fu Jinying was dressed in white but as the Queen Bat who aged backward, the immortal bat spirit was dressed in black.
“Miss Li is nothing compared to Miss Mo Li!”
“A goddess! Even though she is playing the character of a bat spirit, she has the presence of a goddess!”
“Instead of a cameo, Brother Chuan should have asked her to be the female lead! Miss Mo Li will play the role better than Miss Qi Yan and Li Min.”
Mo Li and Li Min walked out from the dressing rooms at the same time so it was natural for people to draw comparisons.
“CEO Han is here…” Someone shouted. The crew members immediately ran off to work, leaving behind the two actors.
“Haha, relax everyone. I’m just here for a visit. Also, Li Min has requested me to bring some afternoon tea for everyone.”
“This is to thank everyone for taking care of me, especially the staff behind the scene. Mr. Han Xu, why don’t you join us?”
“It’s okay, I still have work to do.” Han Xu said as he adjusted the golden hairpin on Mo Li’s hair. That was the stylist’s job but Han Xu had taken it on for himself.
