CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: BORROWING A KNIFE TO KILL

Anyway, it was just talk in the end, as it was already late and everyone was tired.

Mu Yan went off-stage, having filmed night scenes for two consecutive days, seldom crossing paths with Zhou Lifen.

However, the people in the crew were clearly not very friendly towards her.

At lunchtime, Luo Yao had a stomachache and went to the bathroom. Having just finished her scene, Mu Yan had to get the boxed meals herself.

Just as she reached out, a pair of hands quickly took away the last two boxed meals ahead of her.

"I’m still hungry, going to have two more."

Mu Yan looked up at the woman in front of her, it was Wu Shi Yi, who played the second female lead.

Seeing her looking at her, Wu Shi Yi snorted lightly, "What, you’re going to fight me over boxed meals?"

Mu Yan pressed her lips together, "Suit yourself."

She’d let Luo Yao order takeout later.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound as something fell to the ground.

Mu Yan looked towards the sound and saw both meal boxes were smashed, the food scattered all over the place.

"Oops, slipped from my hand. Looks like I’ll have to go hungry, but oh well, I wanted to lose weight anyway," Wu Shi Yi said regretfully.

She bent down to pick up the meal boxes and handed them to Mu Yan, "You haven’t eaten, have you? I see some of this is quite clean; it’s just right for you."

Mu Yan could clearly see her intentions. In the drama, Wu Shi Yi’s character competed with the character played by Zhou Lifen for favor, but outside of it, they got along very well.

To be precise, Wu Shi Yi was currying favor with Zhou Lifen.

Over the past few days, the entire crew knew that Zhou Lifen didn’t like her, and Wu Shi Yi wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to show off.

Yes, this was Zhou Lifen’s usual tactic, using someone else to do her dirty work.

Mu Yan’s expression was indifferent, "Sorry, I’m not hungry."

Wu Shi Yi frowned, "You’re wasting food, and that’s not right."

Mu Yan asked, "Who just dropped the boxed meals on the ground?"

Wu Shi Yi’s expression darkened, "I just slipped by accident."

"Then you’re admitting it," Mu Yan said coldly, "Who was it that said wasting food is shameful?"

Wu Shi Yi glared at her.

"When demanding from others, please lead by example first." Mu Yan snatched the meal box from her hand, bent down to pack the scattered food, and walked to the corner where there were two cats.

Liu Haoming walked over with a gloomy face, "Miss Wu, don’t go too far."

It was well-known in the crew that Wu Shi Yi fancied Liu Haoming, and being reprimanded by him made her feel very embarrassed.

She glared at him, "Don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to Mu Yan?"

"Do you want me to call others over to reason this out?" Liu Haoming said coldly.

Wu Shi Yi was furious, giving him an angry look before leaving.

Liu Haoming walked over and saw Mu Yan feeding the cats, "Do you like these kinds of cats?"

"Hmm." Mu Yan nodded, "I had one when I was little, but couldn’t keep it because of heavy schoolwork."

"My cat just had another litter, I’ll give you one later."

"Sure," Mu Yan smiled, "Thanks."

Liu Haoming chuckled, "No need to be polite."

Wu Shi Yi watched the two chatting and laughing, her face turning livid with anger.

Luo Yao came back and heard about the good deed Wu Shi Yi did, fuming, wanting to beat someone up.

Mu Yan remained calm and asked her to order takeout.

In the final scene of the afternoon, Song Ziran’s affair with the Oiran in the brothel was discovered by the second wife Liu Guixiang.

Liu Guixiang was furious, and told Yu Suwei about it, but Yu Suwei ignored her.

Liu Guixiang decided to go to the brothel herself to pick a fight.

Mu Yan watched the entire scene. Wu Shi Yi, in her mid-twenties, had been acting for a few years, always playing the villainous female supporting role, with decent acting skills.

At that moment, Wu Shi Yi approached her, smirking coldly, "Tomorrow is our confrontation scene, you better do your best."

Mu Yan didn’t reply. In tomorrow’s scene, Liu Guixiang would strike and restrain Shen Qiuci.

Wu Shi Yi hummed disdainfully and left with her head held high.

Zhou Lifen watched coldly. She didn’t need to lift a finger; someone would always help her take care of that little bitch.
