Chapter 1201 - Sowing Discord
However, she did not believe that her father did not know the content of the show at all. Her expression changed. She smiled at the director in embarrassment and ran to a quiet corner of the courtyard with her phone to call her father.
“Dad, what is the meaning of this?” Ling Sheng was a little angry, and her tone was unpleasant. “I can’t participate in this show!”
“I wasn’t the one who chose the variety show.” Huo Ci’s voice was filled with schadenfreude. “If you want to look for the ones responsible, look for your grandfathers.”
Ling Sheng gritted her teeth and held her breath. “You all know? Didn’t the production team hide the nature of the variety show?”
What kind of mess was the Grandpas creating? She was pregnant, how could she come over to film a dating variety show? She had been pregnant for 10 weeks, around two and a half months.
The filming period of the show was three months. By then, the baby in her stomach would be five and a half months pregnant. If her stomach was like a ball, how could she continue filming?
A reality show was just a show similar to a television drama. She just needs to act according to the script given by the production team. There were no problems, but the key issue was that she was afraid that her stomach would not be able to take it.
Nangong Lun told Huo Xiao, “Sheng Sheng was deceived by Jun Shiyan because she had seen too few men, so she should meet more outstanding men and broaden her horizons. She’ll know that the world out there has much better men than the one she chose.” Huo Ci mimicked Nangong Lun’s tone. Anyway, he would not take the blame for the variety show, it was not a good thing to be hated by that brat. Who knew how she would anger him in return! Ling Sheng wanted to cry but had no tears as she bit her lip and looked at the sky. The heavens want me dead!
“It’s okay, you just have to continue participating in the show. Your mother said that when she was pregnant with you, she had been exercising all this time. It wasn’t obvious even when she was five months pregnant. You followed her physique, so it won’t be obvious when the time comes,” Huo Ci comforted her considerately.
Ling Sheng did not know what to say. She could only grind her teeth in grief and indignation but she did not show it. When she was pregnant with Xiaoqi, it had been more than six months and no one had discovered it, including her adoptive mother. “Your mom and I are going to pick Xiaoqi and Little Sangyu up from class. If there is nothing else, I am hanging up.” Huo Ci sounded very anxious because he didn’t want to talk to her. “Can I really not film this show?” If Ling Sheng had known that it was such a show, she would never have done it!
“It’s up to you. I don’t care about you.” Huo Ci was very generous. He paused for a moment before continuing, “However, Director Yu Zhong Yu is a gold medal director in the variety world. He has a lot of connections and is the best in the entertainment industry. If you decided to stop filming at the last minute, he definitely won’t dare to use you in the future.”
“I got it.” Ling Sheng’s beautiful face darkened. What else could she do? She had to bite the bullet. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to survive in the Chinese variety world in the future.
Besides, she was a very contractual and professional actress. How could she ruin her own reputation over such a small matter?
Besides, the production team didn’t hide it from her. It wasn’t that they didn’t tell her the nature of the show, it was her elders who kept it from her! They even instructed the production team not to tell her!
When Ling Sheng returned, Shi Lingyu came up to her worriedly and asked softly, “Sheng Sheng, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look unwell?”
Ling Sheng shook her head and smiled at her. Soon, she collected her negative emotions and returned to normal. “I’m fine.”
No wonder when they were chatting just now, the girls were all asking about the type of guys they liked, it turned out that they all knew the nature of the program. Only a fool like her came over without knowing anything.
Shi Lingyu felt that she did not seem to be fine, but they had just met and were not very familiar with each other, so it was not appropriate for her to ask more, so she changed the topic. “The first grouping is about to begin, and I’m still a little nervous. I wonder what kind of man will be in the same group as me.”
When Ling Sheng heard this, she immediately thought of Yu Bei. She had a premonition and smiled. “It will definitely be the type you like. Who knows? You might be able to find true love here!”
Shi Lingyu was embarrassed by her words, she reached out to pat her and blushed. “What nonsense are you talking about? Don’t you want to know what kind of man is in the same group as you later?”.
Ling Sheng shook her head, she was not looking forward to it at all. She even wanted to quit. What trouble did her two elders cause her?
Shi Lingyu did not believe that she was not looking forward to it at all. When she knew that it was a dating show, she wanted to reject it too.
However, it had been more than half a year since she had any assignments. The director of the variety show was Director Yu, and he occupied half of the stable position of Chinese variety shows. She also wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could make an impact so that she could further her acting career. Other people got hold of opportunities through their singing and acting skills. Now, she had to rely on the popularity of reality shows to get an opportunity. Ling Sheng and Shi Lingyu stayed together, while the remaining three girls banded together. The show had yet to begin, but they were already showing signs of forming teams.
Although Yin Ning was outdated, she had been popular before and was still arrogant. She glanced at Ling Sheng and Shi Lingyu with obvious disdain.
Who did the two of them think they were? They didn’t even put her, a senior, in their eyes. Just looking at them made her angry. They would wait and see. She would make them understand clearly that no matter how many useless people there were, they would still be useless even if they gathered together. Yun Ruo and Song Xiyue also disliked Ling Sheng and Shi Lingyu from the bottom of their hearts. What was there to be proud of? Who were they looking down on?
“Sister Yi Ning, I’ll call the two of them over!” Yun Ruoxi smiled. “You’re a senior, so we juniors should follow in your footsteps.”
“I’m afraid the two of them don’t want to hang out with us,” Song Xiyue said weakly. “The good-looking ones only hang out with the good-looking ones.”
She was trying to drive a wedge between them and deliberately incite the fire in Yin Ning’s heart. She was saying that Ling Sheng and Shi Lingyu were not good.
Yin Ning’s expression changed. The jealousy in her eyes disappeared as her sharp nails dug into her palms.
What’s so great about being pretty? There’s no lack of beauties in the entertainment industry. No matter how pretty they are, she has to see if they have the fortune to enjoy it.
In a place like the entertainment industry, being pretty was a good asset, but one had to have a brain that was compatible with beauty. Otherwise, she would just be a pretty face and would not be able to escape the fate of being taken advantage of.
