Chapter 16 She's Blinded?
She hadn't expected the news to have already spread; now, she fully understood why Nan Yuling had been so angry last night.
Fortunately, the director had taken Nan Yuling to inspect the set; otherwise, if he had heard this talk, he surely would've been furious enough to want to strangle her…
…
However, once the topic of Nan Yuling being jilted had come up, the set immediately buzzed with excitement.
The female crew members seemed particularly curious about the whole affair…
"I wonder who that woman is, to have dumped Nan Yuling like that, tsk tsk…" the young female makeup artist couldn't help but express sympathy for Nan Yuling.
"Who knows? That woman might be blind for all we know, to leave a man like Nan Yuling and elope…" the lead actress chimed in…
"…" She's blind?
Su Xingyue stood dumbfounded, listening to their discussions, feeling indignant for herself yet unable to say anything.
Her heart felt extremely stifled…
Why did everyone think it was her fault for eloping, yet no one thought Nan Yuling might be the problem?
It was all too unfair!
…
"Come here!" the second female lead, who was getting her makeup done, suddenly waved at Su Xingyue.
After snapping out of her daze, Su Xingyue walked over to her.
"Go get me a cup of warm water," the second female lead instructed as she handed her a thermos cup.
Su Xingyue took the thermos cup.
"For my next movie, I'll definitely talk to the director about including you!" the second female lead then added cheerfully.
At these words, Su Xingyue's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile.
"Thank you, sis!"
The second female lead was a few years older than Su Xingyue and had been in the entertainment industry for many years, gaining some fame.
Su Xingyue had always been respectful towards her seniors in the crew in hopes of getting more opportunities and was willing to run errands, so even though the lead actress and the second female lead had their intense rivalries, they were still relatively okay with her.
"Go on now, I'm thirsty."
Su Xingyue nodded, took the thermos cup, and turned to fetch the water for her.
Just as she turned, a chilling voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"Su Xingyue!"
It was Nan Yuling's voice…
That voice made the noisy set instantly fall silent.
Everyone turned their surprised gazes towards Su Xingyue.
How did Nan Yuling know her?
…
Upon hearing that voice, Su Xingyue also stiffened, thinking to herself that this was bad…
If these women found out that she was the 'blind' new bride of Nan Yuling, they would probably beat her to death, not to mention helping her land a new role.
Just as she thought to feign deafness and walk away, the voice called out again.
"Come here!"
"…" She was speechless, her heart shattering…
It was all over. His calling her at this time was obviously meant to doom her…
After taking a deep breath, Su Xingyue still stiffly turned around and slowly made her way toward him.
Nan Yuling stood not far from her, accompanied by the director and the producer.
He had finished inspecting the set already? Why had he come back so soon…
"Mr. Nan, did you need something?" she asked with a smile, deliberately using a polite form of address to put distance between them.
"Mr. Nan?" Upon hearing this, Nan Yuling let out a scoff, "Last night… we were not so estranged!"
