Chapter 986 - 895: Scheming
Xu Jiaojiao slightly raised her chin, proud like a leopard, "Following my pace, it would be..." She made a gesture of pushing someone down, "just go straight ahead." Then her fingers drew a circle in the air, "But, according to his pace, you have to let him take it slow, digest his hard-earned triumph."For Jin Jing to propose proactively, especially to a woman as strong in both looks and aura as Xu Jiaojiao, is indeed not easy. Many men easily back down when faced with a more dominant woman. Jin Jing dared to break through himself, it could only be true love.
Qin Miaomiao sighed deeply in her heart and turned her head to look out the window.
The sunlight outside was very light, quietly falling on the road, as if time had stopped.
She suddenly felt an inner peace and tranquility.
Whether it’s her, or the people around her, they can all find happiness.
How nice.
Xu Jiaojiao’s promise to keep an eye on Su Lan for Hua Tiantian is not an empty check.
Su Lan is new to the cast, and originally no one noticed her. But her outstanding performance upon joining quickly caught the director’s praise, naturally drawing a lot of attention.
Among these people are some small artists who joined with Su Lan, and some old actors who’ve been floating in the business without seeing a future; these people, out of jealousy or other reasons, either approach Su Lan seeking opportunities or cling to her missteps to their own advantage, some directly tripping her up.
These are the inevitable imaginations born out of the new and old shifting. Xu Jiaojiao went through this stage too. So when Xu Jiaojiao saw Su Lan shining in front of the camera and getting ostracized behind it, she felt no pity.
But once she started seriously paying attention to Su Lan, she couldn’t help but be attracted by her.
Su Lan looked similar to Rong Lan, with a very friendly type. Anyone who’s ever been in contact with such people can’t help but like them. Xu Jiaojiao grew vigilant. She had never been swayed from her principles just because of someone’s looks.
But that day, Xu Jiaojiao had just come out of the makeup room, walking all the way to the lounge in platform shoes, memorizing the freshly printed script.
As she passed the dressing room, she heard Su Lan’s voice.
"Sister Tiantian is not like what you guys are saying!"
Su Lan mentioned Hua Tiantian?
Xu Jiaojiao’s steps paused, standing behind the dressing room door, curious about what was being said inside.
Su Lan said, "Sister Tiantian is a good person. You’re just listening to one side from Sister Huang Shan and unfairly judging her."
Someone said, "Su Lan, are you stupid? Talking to us about fairness? Do you believe Sister Huang Shan won’t spill another cup of coffee on your face?"
"That was a misunderstanding too," Su Lan said. "The coffee I bought for Sister Huang Shan was too hot, she couldn’t hold it steady, so it spilled. Aren’t you making too much of a fuss, turning everything into a conspiracy? Isn’t it better to focus your energy on acting, on your lines?"
Su Lan’s words resonated deeply with Xu Jiaojiao. Many people nowadays rise through scandals, but once they’ve made it, they only end up being a joke, weak at their core. Because fame comes quickly, many artists go down this path. There are fewer and fewer grounded people.
Xu Jiaojiao is a grounded person, but there are very few people with whom she shares a common language. Unexpectedly, Su Lan could speak her mind.
Xu Jiaojiao didn’t listen to the rest of the argument. She had her own things to do. But her impression of Su Lan changed from a potential rival of Hua Tiantian’s to someone grounded like herself.
