Chapter 493: Chapter 493

Upon seeing Zuo Yuqing leisurely drinking tea and applying a facial mask, with not a trace of urgency on her face, a surge of fury spontaneously shot through her. She immediately turned her head towards the director, pointed directly at Zuo Yuqing with her slender finger, and spoke with a hint of anger, "Director, let me lay it out clearly today: it’s either her or me in this crew. The Su Family has also invested in this TV series, so you better think this through carefully."

Su Yingxue’s voice was not too loud or quiet, almost everyone around could hear her, and instantly all eyes fell on Zuo Yuqing and then shifted back to Su Yingxue.

Finally, everyone’s gaze settled back on Zuo Yuqing, in their looks there was sympathy, schadenfreude, but there was also some dissatisfaction.

The director’s expression immediately turned sour, how could he not hear that Su Yingxue was threatening him?

Indeed, the Su Family had invested quite an amount in this movie, and Zuo Yuqing was the lead actress of this TV drama, who had already completed a third of the filming. Replacing the leading lady now would not be ideal.

Moreover, at the initial promotion of this TV drama, it was publicly announced that the lead actress was Zuo Yuqing. As a popular Hollywood Actress, Zuo Yuqing’s influence is unpredictable both nationally and internationally.

Offending either party seemed to bear undesirable consequences, and the director was already sweating profusely, unable to choose between the two options.

If he chose Zuo Yuqing, the Su Group might immediately withdraw their investment, but if he chose Su Yingxue, the TV series might face severe backlash even before its release.

After Su Yingxue finished speaking, she proudly looked towards Zuo Yuqing, confidently assuming that the director would definitely stand by her side, not Zuo Yuqing’s.

After all, the Su Group did invest in this TV series, and although not the largest investor, they had put in a substantial amount of money.

Zuo Yuqing naturally heard Su Yingxue’s words and was momentarily stunned, even the motion of applying an egg mask on her face paused as she turned her head to ask Ling Jie beside her, puzzled, "The Su Group invested in this TV series?"

How did she not know about it?

Ling Jie was also puzzled; she had not heard about the Su Group’s investment in this TV series before, but now, seeing how confident Su Yingxue looked and the director’s troubled expression, it seemed almost certain to be true.

Feeling the urgency, Ling Jie quickly pulled out some documents from beside her and after flipping through them for a while, she looked up at Zuo Yuqing and said, "They started investing recently. Previously, the production team was a bit short on costumes, so the Su Group invested around that time, probably to make things easier for Su Yingxue in the crew." Official source ıs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱

However, it was unexpected that Su Yingxue would use this to try and kick Zuo Yuqing out of the crew.

The moment Zuo Yuqing heard Ling Jie’s words, her expression changed.

Su Yingxue, standing not far from Zuo Yuqing, immediately noticed the change in her expression, thinking Zuo Yuqing was scared, her smile grew even more triumphant.

People tend to get carried away when they’re proud, and Su Yingxue was exactly like that, directly addressing Zuo Yuqing, "Zuo Yuqing, scared now, are you? I advise you to leave the crew right now and apologize to me, otherwise, I’ll have my dad completely ban you."

Hearing Su Yingxue’s words, Zuo Yuqing turned her head with a weird look and stared at her, her eyes clearly meaning ’are you out of your mind’.

As it was not the first time Zuo Yuqing had looked at her that way, Su Yingxue also realized it and instantly, her anger flared up, pointing at Zuo Yuqing and speaking, "What are you feeling proud of? Do you think being an Actress makes you great? You don’t even know how many men you’ve slept with to get to this position..."

No one likes to hear others berate them , and immediately Zuo Yuqing’s expression darkened, and even her gaze towards Su Yingxue turned colder, her voice suppressing anger, "Su Yingxue, there is a limit to everything. Do you think everyone is like you? Do you think An City has only the Su Group to invest in this TV series? Do you think the Su Group invested such a little bit and the crew is yours now? Miss Su Group, think you’re all that?"

Her questioning flowed effortlessly, and even though she still sat there, which somewhat lessened her imposing aura, her words made Su Yingxue’s face change again and again.

Opening her mouth to curse back, but upon meeting Zuo Yuqing’s gaze, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

Seeing Su Yingxue’s reaction, Zuo Yuqing coldly scoffed, then turning her head to Ling Jie, she suddenly switched her demeanor, "Ling Jie, the costumes I wore for filming previously weren’t all provided by the Su Group, were they?"

The surrounding people, including Su Yingxue hearing Zuo Yuqing’s words, couldn’t help but change their expressions, momentarily unsure of Zuo Yuqing’s intentions.

But Su Yingxue, without waiting for Ling Jie to speak, directly said, "They were provided by our family, you dare not wear them!"

Zuo Yuqing’s expression immediately darkened, she did not directly respond to Su Yingxue’s words, but instead called her assistant over, pointing at the several sets of clothes she used for filming and commanded, "Go and throw those clothes out, damn, I need to take a shower!"
