A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return Chapter 1414 - The Truth

Chapter 1414: The Truth

The performing arts teacher taught Wei Lingnan several moves and found an assistant to try the scene with.
Wei Lingnan and the assistant walked over the scene a few times, but they still failed to grasp the main point. They either blocked the camera or stood in the wrong angle.
On the side, a staff member sighed softly. “Until when are they going to do this? I think we should let the supporting actors in the backcourt disperse. It’ll be too late to film their part today.”
Another staff member said, “Wei Lingnan has it hard too.”
Looking over from their side, the man in front of the camera looked very attentive. No matter how many times “Cut!” was shouted at him, he didn’t get angry, and his long figure was as beautiful as a painting in the blur of light and shadow. With his status today, even if he was not skilled in acting, it was rare that he didn’t throw a fit.
Yingluo was originally sitting by the side and resting, but after hearing the comments of the staff members, she lowered the glass in her hand and walked over. “I’ll walk through it with him, you can go.” She excused the little assistant and stood in front of Wei Lingnan herself.
Wei Lingnan’s narrow eyes glanced at her. “Go and rest, it’s hard.”
“This is my job, how could it be hard,” Xia Yingluo replied lightly. She reached out and supported Wei Lingnan’s arm, then pulled him forward. “You will stand here later, with your right face turned at a twenty-degree angle towards me. When I turn to the side, you will turn as well. Change your angle spirally and stop at the ten o’clock angle for two seconds, then wait for my instructions.”
A smile appeared on the corner of Wei Lingnan’s lips. “Yes, Madam.”
Hundreds of millions of years ago, when they fought side by side on the Skatana Planet, she had often commanded him like this. She always gave clear and concise instructions, so that people could execute it without hesitation. To be honest, human emotions on
Earth was too complicated and subtle, and it was difficult for him to understand the flashy and useless camera, but as long as she was there, he was determined to do everything well.
She saw his smile and reminisced. Her curly eyelashes fluttered softly. “Let’s start.”
This time, the camera positioning went well, and it improved a lot. They walked through it twice, and the director said that they could start shooting.
They finally passed this scene and everyone was relieved. They looked at their watch and realized that they had worked for the whole morning. It was midsummer, and the sun was bright and dazzling. Even in the mountains, Xia Yingluo was sweating under her heavy costumes.
The director said, “Ms. Xia, take a break. I will shoot the other supporting actors first, and your part will continue in the afternoon.”
Xia Yingluo was sticky with sweat, so she nodded. She got on the crew’s air-conditioned car and sat inside to rest. She didn’t dare to change her costume since she still had to wear this to shoot in the afternoon. If she took it off, it would be very troublesome to have to put it back on, and she would delay the filming progress. She stayed alone in the car. Because she was resting there, the other staff members were very discreet and did not bother her. Originally, the lead roles of every drama already received good treatment, but she received even greater treatment since she was a prestigious lady. Leaning against the window for a while, she suddenly saw Wei Lingnan, who was not far away, taking a call. Then, he walked towards a quiet place alone. She couldn’t help but get curious, so she got out of the car and followed him.
Water flowed in the mountains.
Xia Yingluo’s tracking skills were very good. She made some adjustments according to Wei Lingnan’s habits and was not discovered by him along the way.
She followed him to a nearby mountain stream and saw a woman under a silver-like waterfall, wearing a pearl-white shirt, exquisite makeup, and looking at Wei Lingnan affectionately—it was Gu Jinxiu.
Xia Yingluo felt unhappy. He secretly came out during his break to see this woman?
Her body flashed dexterously, and she quickly hid behind a large rock without being noticed by them.
In the rumbling sound of the waterfall, she heard Gu Jinxiu say, “Nan, I’m here to send energy to Ms. Xia.”
Then, Gu Jinxiu took out a small translucent bottle with the energy liquid inside and handed it to Wei Lingnan.
Wei Lingnan took it, his voice sounding slightly deeper. “That’s it?”
Gu Jinxiu felt wronged and spoke as if she was about to cry. “Nan, you know that I am the weakest of the three of us. It wasn’t easy collecting this amount of energy. I haven’t eaten for many days and nights. I worked overnight just for this. If you don’t believe me, you can look at my hand.” She held out her hand. Her five fingers were pale and terrifying as if they had been soaked in some medicine.
Xia Yingluo also saw it while hiding behind the rock. She didn’t expect that Gu Jinxiu would really try her best to help her gather energy, but then she thought about it and sneered. Who knew what this woman’s intentions were? However, since Wei Lingnan came here for a private meeting with Gu Jinxiu, not for something unspeakable but for her energy, her mood immediately got better.
Wei Lingnan spoke to Gu Jinxiu, and his voice still cold. “Don’t use this to fool me. I know how much a Skatana like you can collect on a planet like Earth. Gu Jinxiu, you didn’t do your best. Make up for the lack of energy within three days. Otherwise, don’t think I won’t do anything to you.”
“Nan!” Gu Jinxiu’s expression changed at having been exposed.
Wei Lingnan just looked at her coldly.
“Nan, I really did my best!” Gu Jinxiu was still quibbling, and her voice was sorrowful. “Why don’t you just believe me? Nan, I love you more than Xia Yingluo does! Why don’t you give me one more chance? Why?!”
“I only love Ah Luo,” Wei Lingnan said.
His voice passed into Xia Yingluo’s ears through the sound of the water, making her heart ache. She remembered when he held her hand when they were filming, and said softly to her, “Wait for me. No matter how many thousands of years it takes, I will definitely come back.” A sour and sweet feeling had spread in her heart. But the reality was not a drama. In reality, he had already found her again after hundreds of millions of years, but he had hurt her badly.
Hiding behind the big rock, she only felt confused.
She heard Gu Jinxiu shout desperately, “She is so cruel to you! Nan, I dreamt, I dreamt! I dreamt that she hurt you again and again on the Skatana Planet. She threw away the necklace you gave her, and dug a hole in your chest in front of everyone! Nan, why are you so devoted to her? She is just a vile and evil woman!”
“Vile and evil?” Wei Lingnan sneered softly. “Even if Ah Luo is a devil, she’s still my Ah Luo. But you, on the other hand, Gu Jinxiu, don’t you think you’re more vile and evil than her? After the wedding accident, in the laboratory of the underground base, you tried to kill her with poisonous energy while I was still weak! Gu Jinxiu, you should be glad that she didn’t let me kill you.”
Every word exploded like thunder in Xia Yingluo’s heart.
At the time of his wedding accident with Gu Jinxiu, he still didn’t know that she was the queen. She always thought that Wei Lingnan wanted to kill her at that time. Otherwise, how could she have been so injured? But… it wasn’t the truth.
