31, another rumored boyfriend

The next day, Sheng Congzhi arrived at the film city on time.

It took two hours to finish makeup and hair.

Everyone stood under the sun in thick costumes, suffering immensely.

Particularly Sheng Congzhi, playing Ru Fei, the Imperial Concubine, wore several pounds of jewelry, and soon the inside of the costume was soaked with sweat.

Director Chen maintained his usual strict demands; the first scene took a long time, and they only finished shooting by noon.

Just as Sheng Congzhi took a breath, she heard Sheng Wanrou shouting, "Turn on the fan quickly! And there's mung bean soup, hurry and serve it to Jiaojiao..."

Two assistants were flustered; one held an electric fan desperately blowing at Ye Jiaorui, while another spoon-fed her.

Sheng Wanrou was all concern, "Jiaojiao, are you feeling too hot? Have some mung bean soup to cool down, I specially added your favorite lilies..."

Sheng Congzhi felt indifferent, whereas Chang Wan looked quite uncomfortable.

Especially since last night knowing that Sister Zhi was also a daughter of the Ye Family...

No, a foster daughter.

Yet, even so, Sister Zhi had lived with the Ye Family for twenty years. There must be some affection, right?

How come now that their biological daughter had returned, they treated Sister Zhi so harshly?

And this Ye Jiaorui, when did she ever get treated so preciously as a minor role and a stand-in?

When it was time to serve meals for the crew.

Sure enough, Sheng Wanrou was disdainful, "Is this what you expect Jiaojiao to eat?"

The assistant director smiled apologetically, "Mrs. Ye, our crew's boxed lunches are all ordered the same..."

"Not acceptable!" Sheng Wanrou said sternly, "Who knows where this was prepared? They probably don't even wash the vegetables before cooking, it's too dirty. What if Jiaojiao gets a stomachache and it affects the shooting this afternoon? Can you afford that?"

Assistant Director: "Well..."

"Give it to someone else," Sheng Wanrou said arrogantly. "I've already ordered lunch from the hotel, it should be here soon."

Assistant Director: ...Then why the lengthy complaint!

However, the Ye Family had invested twenty million in this film, so they couldn't be offended, and the complaints had to stay internal.

Soon someone called out, "The meal ordered by Mrs. Ye is here."

Sheng Wanrou stood up and gestured.

A waiter in hotel uniform came over holding two large bags.

Once the array of boxed meals was set down and opened...

Ye Jiaorui, having acted for many years, experienced this kind of treatment for the first time, "Mom, you are so good to me."

"Silly child, what's this? You suffered when Mom wasn't by your side previously. Now that you're back, I'll definitely take good care of you."

"Okay." Ye Jiaorui sneakily glanced next door.

When she saw the standard boxed lunch on the table in front of Sheng Congzhi...

A hint of smugness swiftly crossed her eyes.

See the difference between being biological and adopted!

She even wanted to laugh: Isn't it said online that you only eat meals from five-star hotels while filming? Why don't I see that today?

The next second.

"Sister Zhi, Younger President Lu is here!" It was Chang Wan who shouted, her voice very excited.

Sheng Congzhi's eyelid twitched.

Indeed, on looking up, she saw Lu Huaichen walking over.

And he wasn't alone.

Several waiters in white uniforms accompanied him, each carrying large bags.

When he came over, Lu Huaichen handed her a small box, "Surprised? Unexpected?"

Sheng Congzhi was speechless, "Didn't we agree that you wouldn't come?"

"I thought about it carefully yesterday. This is your eighth film, how could I miss it? I had to visit the set!"

Sheng Congzhi then asked, "What's this?"

"Just the keys to that Mercedes. I've already delivered the car to the hotel, you can drive it around when you're not filming."

...

Sheng Congzhi looked at the people behind him, "And what are they here for?"

"All the waiters are from the Robin Hood Hotel; I asked the chef to make lunch for the crew."

"Most have eaten already..."

"Really?"

Lu Huaichen raised his hand.

The assistant director came over, bustling, "Young President Lu, hello."

"These are the lunches I ordered from Robin Hood..."

Before he could finish, the assistant director was nodding furiously, "That's great! It's so hot today, and not only did you visit the set, but you also improved our meals. It's truly an honor for us. Come on, let's give a hand quickly."

Several staff members immediately rushed over, helping while flattering.

"You've worked hard, Young President Lu!"

"Thank you, Young President Lu!"

Even Director Chen came over, "I've been shooting in Heng City for over twenty years and it's my first time eating a feast from the Robin Hood Hotel. I'm really touched by Miss Sheng's light."

Sheng Congzhi gave an embarrassed smile, "Director Chen, I'm sorry for the trouble."

Director Chen waved his hand, "Shengyao is the biggest investor in this film, how can it be a bother?"

Sheng Congzhi: ...Oh right, almost forgot about that.

While everyone was happily mingling, Sheng Wanrou was grinding her teeth, "Why is Lu Huaichen here?"

Robin Hood is the best five-star hotel in Hengdian, but it's located in the city center, too far from the film city.

That's why she had settled for the lunch from the hotel where she was staying.

Now by comparison, it seemed rather shabby...

Ye Jiaorui tried to maintain her smile, "I heard that every time Zhizhi shoots, Young President Lu always visits the set."

"Even before, but now that she's married, isn't she afraid of rumors?"

As they were talking, Lu Huaichen personally carried the bags over and began distributing meals, "Zhizhi, you and your assistant eat first."

Then he came over to the next area, "Oh, Mrs. Ye, you have already started eating?"

Sheng Wanrou had an unhappy expression.

However, two assistants instinctively stood up wanting to receive the meal boxes.

Little did they know—

"Unfortunately, it seems you won't get to enjoy Zhizhi's privilege today." After saying that, Lu Huaichen passed them to distribute the meals behind them.

Ye Jiaorui's hands twisted until they turned pale.

Sheng Wanrou's face looked like a palette, turning green and then white.

...

After lunch, Lu Huaichen was sent away by Sheng Congzhi.

As he left, the crew members were also reluctant:

"Will Young President Lu come again tomorrow?"

"Definitely, when has he ever missed supporting Sister Zhi's shooting?"

"Sending cars and food, I'm so envious of Sister Zhi."

"Who can blame them? Sister Zhi is beautiful and with such a good personality, no wonder she has such crazy suitors..."

Sheng Wanrou slammed her chopsticks down: "No self-respect!"

The two assistants were cunning, quickly seizing the moment to criticize:

"Exactly, what's there to be envious about?"

"Just knows how to spend money, not sincere at all..."

Just then someone shouted:

"Sister Zhi, someone's looking for you!"

Sheng Congzhi's eyelid twitched again.

People were streaming in front, holding a person-high basket full of various colored roses, surrounding her rest area, quickly turning it into a sea of roses, fragrant and spectacular!

Chang Wan looked at the banner under the basket, "Sister Zhi, it's a gift from Xu Yindi!"

Sheng Congzhi's phone also rang at that moment.

Someone sent a message: [Did you receive the flowers?]
