Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 375 - 376: Deliberately Making Things Difficult for Xia Weiwei

Chapter 375: Chapter 376: Deliberately Making Things Difficult for Xia Weiwei

Xia Weiwei was shaking with anger.

She had never crossed paths with Shen Manbing before.

If it were not for Xia Yangyang’s instigation, why would Shen Manbing deliberately make things difficult for her?

But Xia Weiwei didn’t plan on confronting Xia Yangyang now.

After all, Xia Yangyang was already suspicious about the events of last night.

The next day was Xia Weiwei’s turn to act.

She was playing a villain in this film.

There was only one scene where the budding model Xia Weiwei played would confront the main character portrayed by Shen Manbing.

This scene wasn’t supposed to be filmed now.

But somehow, it was expedited.

The plot involved a scene at a model competition where Xia Weiwei’s character secretly scatters pearls on stage, causing the protagonist to fall. Yet, the protagonist ingeniously resolves the situation, making Xia Weiwei’s character face the consequences and fall on stage.

However, during the filming, the director suddenly added a scene.

He claimed this segment perfectly captured the rise of the protagonist, and could fully showcase the change in her character from timid to courageous.

The additional plot involved the protagonist, after finding out Yuewei’s deed, slapping Yuewei in the face.

Xia Weiwei didn’t think much about it at first.

After all, every second of screen time was valuable, the addition of a scene was something she received with pleasure.

The filming before went rather smoothly.

But then came the slapping scene.

Shen Manbing, in the pursuit of authenticity, actually asked the director for permission to slap her for real.

At that moment, a sense of unease hit Xia Weiwei.

But she, being a mere secondary character, naturally had no say in the matter.

Expectedly, during the shoot, Shen Manbing slapped her hard across the face.

Xia Weiwei was aghast.

But Shen Manbing forgot her lines mid-scene.

The director called for a retake, once again.

It happened three times due to various issues, and Xia Weiwei wasn’t a fool.

She knew Shen Manbing was clearly targeting her using this scene. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Everyone on set realized it as well.

However, the director, desiring better performance, merely indulged her.

The situation was similar to when they were filming Cinderella.

Back then, Shen Manbing used the filming to target Xia Yangyang.

Xia Weiwei had taken delight in her sister’s misfortune then, only to end up with a taste of it for herself just a few months later.

But she, Xia Weiwei, was not going to be a pushover like Xia Yangyang.

When Shen Manbing made another “mistake”.

Xia Weiwei went to complain to the director: “Director, Sister Bingbing’s behavior is unacceptable. She was clearly doing it on purpose. I have no idea what I did to offend Sister Bingbing, look at my face – it’s all because of her. If my mom finds out, her heart would break.”

Xia Weiwei mentioned Liu Ruyan on purpose, hoping the director would intervene by considering her feelings.

After all, Liu Ruyan had been friends with the director for many years, and she had vouched for Xia Weiwei to land this role.

Shen Manbing stood nearby, sneering at Xia Weiwei’s foolishness.

Actually, if Xia Weiwei hadn’t mentioned Liu Ruyan, things might have been better. But by invoking Liu Ruyan’s name, the director was likely to be vexed.

Initially, Director Zhang had given Xia Weiwei a role out of old friendship, thinking it wouldn’t be a problem.

But on Xia Weiwei’s first day on the set, she made a big deal out of the favoritism.

As if seeking special treatment was an achievement, she flaunted receiving Director Zhang’s special favor.

Later, her boasts were even published in the newspapers by the media.

Director Zhang, known in the industry for his integrity and artistic dedication, had never been associated with such practices as buying roles or seeking special treatment.

And here he was, his reputation ruined by the mother-daughter duo of the Xia family.

Even rumors circulated in the industry that the reason Director Zhang showed such favoritism towards the Xia sisters was because he had an affair with Liu Ruyan in his youth…
