BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126 - 127: The First Face-to-Face Confrontation
“Yangyang, what’s wrong? You look pale,” Lu Yao shakes Xia Yangyang’s arm.
Xia Yangyang has been in a daze.
Shen Manbing is coming to the set? Could it just be a coincidence?
Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.
At this moment, the door to the lounge opens.
A crowd of people instantly appear at the door.
A few assistants reveal, make-up room.
Bringing various belongings inside.
Then comes the director and Shen Manbing.
When they see Shen Manbing, everyone’s eyes pop and stare.
She is indeed a beauty, even more radiant than on the big screen.
Everyone is immersed in the entertainment circle every day, but it’s rare to see a star of Shen Manbing’s caliber.
The director introduces to everyone warmly: “Sister Bingbing joined our Cinderella crew today, everyone ought to learn from her.”
Everyone immediately surrounds her.
Xia Weiwei is the most eager, rushing to the front and saying, “Sister Bingbing, I am Xia Weiwei, the daughter of Xia Liangdong, a super fan of yours. I am lucky to be able to see you today.”
As soon as Xia Weiwei speaks, everyone else begins to chime in with praises and admiration.
Shen Manbing, on the other hand, looks indifferent, apparently not impressed.
She scans around the room, and finally her eyes land on Xia Yangyang, who is still seated in the lounge chair.
Everyone is eagerly surrounding Shen Manbing, only Xia Yangyang remains unmoved.
Lu Yao looks at Shen Manbing’s icy cold gaze, afraid she may offend her by disrespecting her.
Lu Yao quickly reminds Xia Yangyang, “Yangyang, hurry up and greet Sister Bingbing.”
Xia Yangyang stands up, but only musters, “Hello, Sister Bingbing.”
Shen Manbing just sweeps her a cold glance and doesn’t respond. She turns to the director and says, “Get me a separate resting room. It’s too noisy here.”
The director says, “Of course. Although the room next door is smaller, it has a nice atmosphere. Sister Bingbing, we’ll use it as your make-up room temporarily.”
Even after Shen Manbing leaves, everyone is still in awe.
“Her presence is so strong that I was almost too scared to speak when she looked at me.”
“It’s so unfair. Some people are born with faces that are meant to be on screen. Sister Bingbing’s face must be among the top in the entertainment world. Even her cold demeanor is incredibly attractive.”
“Why did Sister Bingbing seem unhappy though?”
Xia Weiwei says, “It’s because some people, taking advantage of their last lead role, didn’t even greet Sister Bingbing when she arrived. Did she expect Sister Bingbing to greet her proactively? She needs to know her place in the entertainment circle.”
Xia Weiwei is obviously belittling Xia Yangyang.
The two sisters’ disagreements are well-known within the crew.
However, given the Xias’ intricate family ties, no one dares to intervene.
Everyone returns to their own make-up stations.
Seeing that no one is taking her side, and Xia Yangyang remains unconcerned, Xia Weiwei huffs and storms out.
Lu Yao softly asks, “Yanyang, what was that about? Did you know Sister Bingbing before?”
Xia Yangyang’s behaviour is much more unusual than it would normally be.
Whenever new members joined the crew, regardless of whether they were veterans or novices, Xia Yangyang had remained affable and enthusiastic.
Xia Yangyang forces a smile, “I’m alright. I’m just not feeling well today.”
During filming, the director announces a change of scenes on the spot.
Since Shen Manbing only has three days on set, she has naturally to be given priority due to her packed schedule. The director wants to complete her scenes as soon as possible.
The scene for the day is a confrontation between “Kim Shimei” and “Lin Xiaofan”..
