Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1224 - 1223: Throwing a Tantrum

"If you think I can’t do this job well, then go ahead and find someone else to do your makeup. See if anyone will serve you, little diva!"

After saying this, the makeup artist ignored everyone’s attempts to stop her and left the set. Yang Meili was just too much—enough was enough.

At this moment, the others were looking at the scattered makeup products on the ground and agreed that Yang Meili was being unreasonable. But Yang Meili sat down on a chair and started crying, feeling greatly wronged.

"How dare you all treat me like this? I haven’t done anything wrong," Yang Meili cried, feeling particularly aggrieved. "You didn’t do your own jobs well, yet you’re all taking it out on me. If you had done things properly, would we be in this situation now? You’re shifting the blame onto me because you think I’m easy to bully."

Listening to Yang Meili’s words, everyone was speechless. Clearly, Yang Meili wasted the makeup products and yet acted pitiful, as if others had wronged her. She was truly a drama queen but not much of an actress.

At this point, the director waiting outside couldn’t bear it any longer.

The director, seeing the lead actress still not coming out, had to put down his camera and ask the producer to keep watch while he pushed the door open and walked in, only to find everyone silent, with makeup scattered on the floor, instantly knowing what had happened.

"What happened now? The morning is already over. If we don’t start shooting, the release of this film will be delayed."

After hearing the director’s words, no one dared to speak. They all just looked at Yang Meili, who turned her head and looked at the director with her swollen eyes.

"I also want to shoot the film, but they’re treating me like this. Now the makeup artist has left, and not a single makeup item is prepared. How am I supposed to shoot? I’m in a bad mood and not in the right state at all."

Upon hearing Yang Meili say this, the director truly got angry. They’ve been shooting for over a month, and Yang Meili had only come to the set three times. All the supporting roles had finished filming, yet Yang Meili hadn’t shot a single scene and kept giving various excuses.

Moreover, the neighboring set was working on a historical drama. If that group finished early, what would become of their box office?

Thinking of this, the director’s anger surged, and he threw the bottle of mineral water on the table.

As the water bottle hit the ground, everyone present didn’t dare say a word. It seemed the director was truly angry, angrier than ever before.

Seeing this, Yang Meili’s assistant quickly tried to soothe the director, "Director Wang, please don’t be angry. I’ll have Meili get ready right now. Just wait a little longer."

Unexpectedly, after the assistant spoke, Yang Meili got even angrier and kicked her chair two meters away.

"Wang Ming, what do you think you are to dare yell at me? Don’t you realize your own status? You’re mad at me, fine, I’ll have my fans expose you online and see what kind of person you really are. It’s already quite good that I’m here to film for you. Isn’t it true you were fawning over me just a couple of days ago, begging me to join your film?"

Just a month ago, Director Wang Ming personally sought her out, hoping she’d join the shoot. At that time, Yang Meili was particularly unwilling, and it was only after Wang Ming offered a hefty appearance fee that she reluctantly agreed.

After hearing this, Director Wang Ming regretted his earlier decision even more, wondering why he was blind back then and didn’t listen to his friends, choosing the then-popular Yang Meili and giving himself such a headache.

Yang Meili’s words were unbearable for Director Wang Ming, and he raised his hand intending to slap her. But if it hadn’t been for others holding him back, the slap would have landed right on Yang Meili’s face.

"I initially hired you to act properly, but in just one month, you’ve been causing continuous trouble in the crew. In a whole month, you’ve shown up just three times, haven’t shot a single scene, and refuse the makeup. Who do you think you are? A film queen?"

"You’re overestimating yourself. Do you really think this production can’t continue without you? I’m saying it here today: either you leave, or I leave."

With hands on his hips, Director Wang Ming spoke angrily, while the people nearby dare not speak, urging Yang Meili to get her makeup done quickly. Otherwise, the director might actually evict her. But Yang Meili just wouldn’t listen.

"With such a significant role, I don’t believe you can continue filming if I leave."

Upon hearing Yang Meili’s words, the male lead furrowed his brows. This male lead was Hu Feng, a young heartthrob who had risen to fame this year.

"How about I call my makeup artist for you? You quickly tidy up a bit, and we can shoot this afternoon’s scenes first. If we keep delaying, we might not release the film by next year."

Hu Feng was trying to help, but Yang Meili glared at him fiercely upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, Yang Meili’s assistant also tried to persuade her, "Meili, why don’t we find a makeup artist to do your makeup and shoot this afternoon’s scenes first? We can discuss any issues later, okay?"

"What do you mean okay? I’ve already been wronged, and you want me to continue putting up with it. Do you really think I’m here to be wronged? I’m not going to take it. I’m going back to the hotel. Film however you want; it has nothing to do with me!"

After saying this, Yang Meili angrily grabbed her bag and started kicking the things by her feet. She accidentally kicked a bottle of foundation, which was already broken, causing shards to pierce her foot and making her scream in pain.

The others suddenly felt a sense of relief, thinking she’s just unbearable. Why hadn’t she gotten injured earlier? Heaven really wasn’t looking.

"Ah, what are we going to do now? Meili is so popular, and if she gets injured, it’ll be over. Hurry up and call an ambulance!"

The assistant was especially anxious at this point, while everyone else rolled their eyes and pretended not to hear, each busy with their own tasks, as if they weren’t affected at all.

Watching everyone leave, Yang Meili was extremely angry and ordered her assistant to record the scene.

"Just wait and see. Daring to treat me like this, I’ll expose the crew for abusing me. Let’s see how popular your film will get without a leading lady. It’s doomed to flop."

After cursing fiercely, Yang Meili slapped her assistant’s face.

"Can’t you see my foot is injured? Hurry up and carry me to the hospital. What are you standing there for?"
