Chapter 485: Chapter 485

Su Yingxue shot a glance at the young assistant and then shifted her gaze back onto Zuo Yuqing, speaking slowly, "What’s the rush? Am I not just chatting with our dear Yuqing about life? Is that not allowed? Yuqing hasn’t even spoken yet, what’s it to you? Do you even have a say here?"

Her tone was full of mockery, speaking without any courtesy, seemingly ridiculing the assistant’s ignorance, and the astute could even detect a jab at Zuo Yuqing’s poor management of her subordinates.

Especially when she looked at Zuo Yuqing, there was a sneer of disdain already tinting her gaze.

"You..." The young assistant, naive to the ways of the world, didn’t know how to retort, and her face turned a bit red.

Su Yingxue looked at the assistant once more, suddenly remembering something she researched earlier, and with a curl of her lips, spoke mercilessly, "What do you mean you? Have you no manners? You, a mere assistant, dare to speak to me this way? Oh, I almost forgot, you can’t help it since your parents died so early, who would have taught you manners?"

The young girl, upon hearing Su Yingxue’s words, instantly turned paler, her face reddening and her eyes nearly watering.

Zuo Yuqing was actually quite protective, especially of those close to her who treated her well. She kept each one in mind, and now seeing Su Yingxue bullying straight onto her head, though she could ignore it if it was just toward herself, seeing her attacking her assistant made her face darken immediately.

This assistant by her side hadn’t even graduated from university; she was currently an intern. The young girl had a likable personality, very cheerful, and loved to joke around, often cheering her up whenever she felt down.

Especially considering that the girl’s parents died when she was very young, and she was essentially raised in an orphanage. That was probably why Zuo Yuqing allowed her to stay close and intern for her.

Generally, orphans hate it the most when others talk about parents since Zuo Yuqing’s own parents also died when she was a teenager, leaving only her grandfather and uncle’s family, she sometimes envied others having the company of their parents. Now, seeing Su Yingxue bring up her assistant’s background like that, she was really infuriated.

She pulled the young girl protectively behind her, her usual impassive gaze now suffused with a chilly air. Even her voice turned somewhat gloomy, "Su Yingxue, do you think you were taught manners? Speaking so directly about someone’s background, is this your etiquette?"

Hearing Zuo Yuqing’s words, Su Yingxue, who still carried a bit of arrogance initially, directly met Zuo Yuqing’s chilly gaze, inexplicably stifled, suddenly regretting her impulsiveness.

It was merely that she couldn’t stand it. She was leagues better than Zuo Yuqing in many aspects, why was Zuo Yuqing an Actress, and furthermore, someone everyone in the production praised?

Most importantly, the man she liked, namely Lu Jingchen, actually bought snacks and drinks for the whole crew for Zuo Yuqing’s sake, which made her feel even more aggrieved.

However, Zuo Yuqing didn’t give her a chance to rebut, her scornful voice ringing out, "The great Miss Su, bullying a mere assistant , aren’t you afraid of losing face? Or do you think I, Zuo Yuqing, am easy to bully?"

Su Yingxue’s face turned from pale to flush and back again.

"What are you all doing?" Just then, a curious voice reached their ears.

Upon hearing this voice, Zuo Yuqing quickly turned her head, spotting Song Qiao... and Lu Jingchen standing next to her.

She involuntarily raised her eyebrows, meeting Song Qiao’s eyes without any extra emotions, and politely explained, "Nothing much, just discussing some matters with Miss Su."

Regarding Song Qiao... Zuo Yuqing didn’t know how she should behave, but she knew she wouldn’t be Song Qiao’s love rival.

She was a smart woman. Knowing that Lu Jingchen truly wasn’t hers, she wouldn’t recklessly charge at him like a ’moth to a flame’, but learned to withdraw in good time.

Song Qiao didn’t say anything more, looking a bit out of spirits, she simply acknowledged with an ’Oh,’ then walked past them toward the crew’s location.

Watching Song Qiao’s retreating back, Zuo Yuqing momentarily stunned, turned her head to look at Lu Jingchen beside her, her lips moved, but she ended up saying nothing. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥

Because Su Yingxue was still there.

Lu Jingchen’s serene expression disappeared completely as Song Qiao left, his lips pursed tightly as he watched the woman walk away.

After a long while, he turned to Zuo Yuqing, handing over the breakfast he had packed from a breakfast shop earlier, and said, "Please take this to her, and make sure she finishes eating it."

Zuo Yuqing was taken aback again, looking at the breakfast in the man’s hand, she jokingly said, "Aren’t you afraid that I haven’t had breakfast and might just eat this?"

Dammit, she really hadn’t had breakfast yet. She got up a bit late this morning, quickly got ready, and rushed to the set, starving all this while.
