“Do you know that the 2nd male lead in Qian Xun’s television series looks exactly the same as Mo Feifei? If she were fine back then, who do you think she would hate the most? Most likely this once upon a time best friend, you! If she wanted revenge, the one she’d most likely come for is the one who had betrayed her before, you!”
With that, Su Ya hung up, leaving Lin Yi’er all alone with nothing but a pounding heart.
She hurriedly opened the official website of <Nine Heavens> and looked at the photos there. When she caught sight of Rong Mo’s photo, she froze.
Why did he resemble Mo Feifei that much?
Did they get Mo Feifei to pretend as a man for this 2nd male lead role? She wanted to verify it, but Rong Mo had no Weibo. Thus, she could only check on the Weibo comments about him.
There was a lot of dissent toward Rong Mo, claiming that his photos were really well photoshopped so that he fitted the role that well, and there were clamors about how he had better look the same when the show actually came out.
When Lin Yi’er’s assistant came in and saw her pale white face and shocked expression, she asked concernedly, “Sister Yi, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing!” Lin Yi’er snapped back to her senses immediately. At the same time, an idea brewed in her mind. “The director of the film set next door, didn’t he invite me to go cameo as a character yesterday?”
“That’s right!”
“Since I’m free this afternoon, I’ll go do him a favor.”
Her assistant was shocked. “Sister Yi! The 1st female lead of that show is Qian Xun! Why would you agree to cameo with her? Wouldn’t that just draw attention to her popularity?”
Lin Yi’er smiled out calmly and replied graciously, “There’s nothing much between Qian Xun and me anyway. Besides, we’re all in the same circle. There’s no need to have things so tense.”
It was all just an excuse for her to go check out on that Rong Mo.
That was exactly the same plan that Su Ya had when she called anyway—to have her check up on whether or not Rong Mo was Mo Feifei.
Since they were in the same film studio, the best way to check up on someone was if they were in the same team.
If Rong Mo were a woman—and even Mo Feifei—the best way to find that out would be to act with him.
Besides, there was no way she could reject this anyway. If she were to anger Su Ya, that woman might reveal everything about the bullying in the past in a moment of displeasure. Once that happened, there was no way she could remain in this entertainment circle anymore.
When Lin Yi’er arrived with her assistant at the set of <Nine Heavens>, the team was in the middle of filming a scene for Rong Mo. Instantly, she caught sight of that young man seated in a wheelchair, going through a scene with a housekeeper that was kneeling before him.
He brought with him a charismatic aura of a frail young master with his handsome face.
Lin Yi’er froze at the sight of that face.
It truly resembled Mo Feifei.
No wonder Su Ya would make that phone call and suspect that Rong Mo was her. Could it truly be…?
Suddenly, Lin Yi’er sensed that someone was taking notice of her from the sides. Turning around, she caught sight of Qian Xun draped in a big coat and wearing her period costume.
Immediately, she raised her brows. “Long time no see, Qian Xun!”
Qian Xun furrowed her brows and laughed out coldly. “… What sort of wind blew you here today? You must have walked into the wrong film set, huh?”
Lin Yi’er smiled fakely. “Director Chen is worried about how the show might fare in viewership, and thus asked me to help do a cameo for a few scenes.”
The moment she said that, Qian Xun’s face turned cold as she mocked. “And your cameo is supposed to help bring the viewership up? If I haven’t recalled wrongly, the previous show you acted in was axed from 60 episodes down to 30. Even then, the highest viewership ratings were 0.6, and at its worst, it was 0.15”
