Chapter 252: Chapter 252
On the film set, she would occasionally keep an eye on things and even exchange thoughts with the director, Gao Hu, on filming matters.
Gao Hu treated her with great courtesy and couldn’t stop praising Jiaojiao’s performance, calling her exceptionally talented. He admired her enchanting androgynous quality, which made her acting especially captivating.
He was unparalleled in his ability to express through the camera, delving deep into the essence of the content. On the set, he wielded authority like a tyrant.
Aside from Qin Miaomiao’s status as someone from Mr. Jiu’s circle, the fact that she could engage in deep conversations with him was already a rarity.
However, she refrained from meddling and only offered her ideas, providing Gao Hu a relatively free space for creative expression.
Rong Lan had just finished a scene. He walked toward her, dressed in a white suit, his hair slicked back. Though he was off-camera, the neurotic aura he exuded was particularly overwhelming.
This darkened allure was strangely captivating. Qin Miaomiao squinted slightly and smiled, saying:
Rong Lan curled his lips into a faint, devilish smile: "Interesting. I’ve been seeking a breakthrough, and this character is indeed intriguing."
"He’s not a typical villain. He doesn’t fear death, has no vulnerabilities, and craves chaos in this world. His intelligence is remarkable, and every action he takes forces people into a dilemma. This man embodies the evil in humanity while showing traces of kindness. He has his own worldview—he’s terrible but oddly hard to hate. Perhaps that’s his charm."
Rong Lan gazed at her, a glint of darkness flashing in his eyes: "Little sweetheart, you look so beautiful when you’re serious. Makes me want to kiss you."
"Rong Lan, behave yourself. I’m discussing serious matters with you."
"I’m serious too, little sweetheart. If you hadn’t married my uncle, would you have considered me?"
"That sure is definitive."
Qin Miaomiao snorted and said mockingly, "Are you because you can’t get what you want? Or because you think you can’t find anyone foolish enough like me? Remember that time we agreed to meet, and I waited in the middle of winter for hours in the wind, only for you to ditch me for someone else without a word? That was you, wasn’t it? And the promise to spend my birthday together—you left me hanging all night only to vanish for days, returning with a little fling on your arm. That was you too, wasn’t it? So, Rong Lan, on what basis do you think that after doing so many heartless things, anyone would still foolishly wait for you?"
A flood of grievance and complex emotions surged in her heart, remnants of those belonging to the original owner of this body.
That person had once loved someone so humbly, trying her very best to be good to him, only to have all that innocence and beauty cruelly crushed by his actions.
Qin Miaomiao’s expression was cold, tinged with derision. She chuckled lightly and said:
"So, Rong Lan, I don’t care what you’re trying to do. It’s best you rein yourself in and drop that ’love guru’ act—it disgusts me. If you want to stay friends, act normal. If not, then just get out of my life. After this film wraps, I expect not to run into you again. Thanks."
To trample on someone’s dignity so thoughtlessly, then attempt to coax them back, not even caring that they’re now married? Rong Lan truly was laughably capricious.
She was Su Jin, not the foolish Qin Miaomiao from back then. Anyone who upset her—she would make sure they tasted misery in return! Simple and straightforward!
After saying this, she turned and walked away without hesitation. Rong Lan’s face turned ashen, his lips pale, his chest aching dully. Even breathing became a struggle.
