After Shi Lan left, the atmosphere on set became incredibly awkward.
Usually, everyone had heard too much news about An Lan chasing after Gu Chengyu, but now, faced with the sudden contrast, they found it extremely difficult to adapt.
Seeing this, Chen Beini ran to Gu Chengyu's side, her expression also unpleasant, and asked, "Gu Chengyu, aren't you going to explain this to me?"
"Nini, you have to believe me, I don't know how she sneaked in. I feel disgusted just looking at her. I'll ask my broker later; maybe we can find a way to replace her. What qualification does she have to play the second female lead?"
Chen Beini saw the disgust on Gu Chengyu's face and believed that he was unaware.
She had thought that after she exposed the chat records of An Lan groveling to Gu Chengyu, An Lan's career would be over, and she would hold back. However, she didn't expect An Lan to even infiltrate the production team.
Chen Beini had no idea that she hadn't only ruined An Lan's career but also pushed her towards death.
The one who was still alive now was Nicholas Sheeran.
"I don't care, we've just confirmed our relationship, and you must deal with her. This woman is full of tricks, and she plays the innocent so well. I don't want her to ruin the good impression we've finally established."
"Nini, rest assured." Gu Chengyu promised with a raised hand, "My heart only has you!"
...
Tang Ze took Shi Lan to check into the hotel and discovered that Huahai had actually arranged a panoramic suite for Shi Lan.
"I didn't expect Huahai to actually treat artists well," Tang Ze sighed.
Miss Shi was online with doubts; how come she didn't know Huahai was so generous?
Had that dog of a man, Yan Shixiu, just taken over and started to squander the company's resources?
"Alright, I was worried at first that you wouldn't be able to handle it, but after seeing your performance just now, I'm completely reassured. It seems that after a trip to the Ghost Gate, you've had a profound awakening. Focus on acting well from now on; the company won't let you down." Tang Ze said earnestly to Shi Lan before leaving, "Call me if you have any problems."
Shi Lan raised an eyebrow, signaling Tang Ze could exit the stage.
However, before he left, Tang Ze called Sun Ling out and instructed, "Her current demeanor might be fake. Keep an eye on her movements and report to me promptly if there's an issue."
"Fake?" Sun Ling choked, "Isn't the acting a bit too real?"
"She hasn't been normal since waking up from the suicide attempt. What if it's all an act? Anyway, I appreciate your hard work!"
Sun Ling suddenly felt that they might still need to buy a ventilator.
Shi Lan knew what Tang Ze was thinking, and when Sun Ling returned, she opened a bottle of red wine with composure, sniffed it at the rim of the bottle, then disdainfully pushed it away, saying of the subpar drink, "He asked you to keep an eye on me, didn't he..."
"That, An Lan..."
"These are just minor issues, no need to be nervous. However, I think you need to perk up first, as Gu Chengyu will cause more trouble. When the time comes, I'll need you to speak on my behalf. I don't want to waste my breath on him," Shi Lan told Sun Ling with a focus.
Sun Ling was taken aback and momentarily speechless.
Because the records showed that An Lan was only twenty-one years old, no matter what, she should be just an ignorant young girl. But the An Lan before him had sharp, clear eyes, exuding a wildness that seemed to play with the world, and just one glance was enough to send shivers down the spine.
But it was a fleeting moment, and Shi Lan reverted to the ease and arrogance of a young lady, preparing for a beauty sleep.
"Aren't you going to look at the crew's notice?" Shi Lan lifted her head and reminded Sun Ling with a raised eyebrow.
"Then you rest, I'll go... I'll get busy," Sun Ling replied.
Once Sun Ling closed the room door, Shi Lan started to survey the room. The plight of a little pauper, not even deserving to open a bottle of decent red wine.
Suddenly she missed her underground wine cellar, truly a bargain thanks to that dog of a man, Yan Shixiu!!
