Chapter 465: I Want to Play the Female Lead
"If you want the video, let’s meet at the milk tea cafe where we used to have gatherings." Zhao Xiaoyan finished speaking and directly hung up the phone.The milk tea cafe where they used to have their gatherings is located just a few dozen meters outside Longhua High School...
The four of them used to go there often to drink milk tea and do their homework.
Feng Huaijin saw she was about to leave and reminded her in a deep voice, "If you can’t handle it, there’s still me."
Su Li’s agitated heart suddenly calmed down. She turned back and flashed a sweet smile at Feng Huaijin, "Okay."
If she couldn’t solve it, someone would still have her back. She wasn’t alone.
Watching Su Li’s departing figure, Feng Huaijin reminded her, "Take the stairs; the milk tea cafe doesn’t have a place for a helicopter to land."
Su Li felt momentarily disappointed and took a car to the milk tea cafe where they often gathered before.
At this time, Longhua High School was probably having classes, so there weren’t any students in the milk tea cafe.
When Su Li entered, Zhao Xiaoyan was already seated there. Upon seeing Su Li come in, she greeted her as usual, "Xiao Li, sit down."
Zhao Xiaoyan had already ordered drinks, one of her favorite flavors and a glass of plain water.
Zhao Xiaoyan didn’t drink milk tea because she thought it would make her gain weight; she only drank plain water at the milk tea cafe.
Su Li looked at all this and suddenly curled her lips into a slight smile.
It was all too deliberate, trying to create the appearance that they were still friends; instead, it felt like a mere paper-thin veil that’s easily pierced.
Su Li didn’t want to exchange pleasantries with Zhao Xiaoyan and went straight to the point, "What video?"
A hint of resentment flashed in Zhao Xiaoyan’s beautiful phoenix eyes when Su Li showed no reaction...
Today, she was wearing the dress Zhao Xiaoyan had once given her.
Ha, she really no longer considered her a friend.
Zhao Xiaoyan put away her smile, took out her phone, and played a video for her.
Su Li’s pupils shrank; it was none other than the video of her and Cui Shenyu in the corridor.
Su Li instinctively reached out to grab it, but Zhao Xiaoyan chuckled and swiftly pulled the phone back.
"See? It’s not fake. We were friends, so naturally, I don’t want you to be wrongly accused."
Su Li shook her head with a smile, "Zhao Xiaoyan, if you truly considered us friends, you would have shown this long ago. Instead of waiting until Cui Shenyu’s wife had a miscarriage and the rumors spread wildly."
Zhao Xiaoyan’s face, with its exquisite makeup, instantly showed a hint of embarrassment and unease at being exposed by Su Li.
Sure enough, Su Li was still sharp, always able to spot the details instantly.
"What do you want? Money?" Su Li asked bluntly.
Money? It was the last thing she lacked.
Zhao Xiaoyan shook her head, "Money? I don’t want money."
Though she aimed to earn money by becoming a star, being a star meant earning more money, and she wasn’t interested in the little money Su Li could offer.
Su Li, intrigued, curiously asked, "So... what do you want?"
Zhao Xiaoyan smiled, her eyes alight, and her tone fervent, "I heard your studio bought the rights to a novel to turn it into a web drama, right? I dare not aspire to a TV drama now; I want to act in a web drama."
"The ’Barbaric Princess’ you’re preparing to shoot soon, I want to play the lead female role."
"Su Li, if you agree, I’ll give you this video right away." Zhao Xiaoyan paused, "It’s just the lead in a small web drama; it shouldn’t be too hard, right? I think this deal is quite reasonable."
