My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 708 - 626: Tripping Up in the Dark

Hua Tiantian was still immersed in the emotions of the scene and hadn’t yet come out of it, when Huang Shan’s sudden comment completely stunned her.

The assistant glanced at Huang Shan irritably, then turned to Hua Tiantian with a smile and said, "You acted so well just now, instantly overshadowing Huang Shan’s aura."

Huang Shan looked at the drink the assistant handed her, and without a second thought, tossed it onto the chair. She glared angrily at Hua Tiantian from not far away, unable to swallow the bitterness in her heart.

The assistant, noticing her reaction, scanned the others and said, "Sister Shan, don’t be mad. How can Hua Tiantian possibly compete with you? What is she, anyway? A rookie who just started out, daring to challenge you. I think the director is just doing a favor for her company’s boss—it’s certainly not because her acting is good."

"What good is talking about it? If the director says she acted well, then she acted well."

Huang Shan grumbled irritably, growing more and more upset the more she thought about it. Suddenly, she stared directly into the assistant’s eyes and said, "I’ve finally figured it out. Hua Tiantian definitely has someone backing her. Someone probably tipped off the director beforehand. Otherwise, just with her—hmph—she dares to act opposite me?"

Huang Shan complained furiously. When the scene ended, she and the assistant huddled in the dressing room, whispering to each other.

"Handle this matter right away. I can’t wait even a minute longer."

The assistant looked concerned. "Sister Shan, won’t this cause trouble for us?"

"What trouble could there be? Even if there is, I’ll take the blame for it. Now go quickly."

Under Huang Shan’s insistence, the assistant hesitantly walked out of the dressing room.

"What a coincidence, you’re leaving too?"

Hua Tiantian’s assistant, carrying a cup of honey water, happened to run into Huang Shan’s assistant. The two could usually talk briefly, but due to the strained relationship between their artists, they exchanged only slight nods to acknowledge each other.

"Strange, she seems to be deliberately keeping her distance from me today."

Hua Tiantian sipped her honey water, sizing up her assistant, and couldn’t help asking when she saw the puzzled expression, "Why that look? Did someone bully you?"

"No one bullied me. I just think Yu is acting really weird."

"Who’s Yu?" Hua Tiantian finished the honey water, feeling a comforting warmth in her stomach. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The assistant glanced around. "You forgot? Yu is Huang Shan’s assistant."

Hua Tiantian thought carefully. Huang Shan did indeed call that girl Yu on set, but she couldn’t recall much about her.

"Let’s not meddle in other people’s business. Take a break, I need to study the script. I want to make sure I memorize tomorrow’s lines perfectly, so I can portray the female lead as best as possible."

With a trace of emotion in her voice, Hua Tiantian spoke, her expression tinged with determination. As her hands touched the script, her heart trembled. This drama was extremely important to her—so important that she was willing to give whatever it took to excel in it.

Her assistant, who knew how earnest she could be, quietly sat on a nearby chair, head down playing on her phone.

Meanwhile, Huang Shan anxiously paced back and forth in the dressing room, a space reserved exclusively for her, so no one else came in. Her steps grew hurried as she craned her neck, waiting impatiently for her assistant’s return.

It was unclear how much time had passed when the assistant finally returned. She immediately asked if the matter had been handled.

"Don’t worry, Sister Shan. You’ll find out tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Hua Tiantian got ready and arrived on set. Seeing that the director wasn’t there yet, she waited nearby. Not long after, the director arrived with his team, but their gazes felt odd. Each person looked her up and down, their expressions filled with disdain, doubt, curiosity, and an indescribable blend of emotions.

"Good morning, Director."
