Chapter 49 - 49 Second Female Lead
49 Second Female Lead
He Meng pried away Yu Han’s bangs and checked. She realized that there was a small bump on Yu Han’s forehead and was a little anxious. “You still have an audition tomorrow. What if it affects the audition results?”
Yu Han grimaced and rubbed the small bump. “It’s fine. I’ll go back and get a hot egg to roll on it. The swelling might subside tomorrow morning.”
This was the only way. “Then you have to boil a few more eggs and roll them on your bump for a longer time.”
Suddenly, someone knocked on the car window.
The two of them turned around and saw a red-faced woman standing outside. She could not even walk steadily. She was knocking on their car window with her high heels and shouting, “How do you drive? Why did you suddenly stop? Don’t you know that there’s a car behind you? You did it on purpose, right? Are you trying to extort money? I’m telling you, no way. You’d better come down quickly.”
He Meng was speechless. “Why are we so unlucky to encounter a drunk driver? This drunkard is so crazy. We can’t go down.” She didn’t know what the other party would do.
He Meng locked the car door and took out her phone to call the police. The woman outside the door was even angrier when she saw that they refused to get out. She took her stiletto and smashed the car window aggressively. “How dare you stop the car? Why don’t you have the guts to get out!”
That lineup and aura made the two people in the car window feel a little frightened. The two of them had been through a lot, so they were not afraid of a drunkard. However, it was precisely because she was a drunkard that there was no way for them to reason with her, so it was useless to engage with her.
Fortunately, the traffic police patrolling the road happened to pass by at this moment. They realized that there was an accident here and hurriedly came over to check. The two of them heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this. They really did not want to waste too much time here.
Seeing that the traffic police had already pulled the drunk woman away, He Meng unlocked the car door. As she got out of the car, she instructed Yu Han, “I’ll take care of things. Don’t get out of the car.”
Because of what happened today, Yu Han was very popular now. It was inevitable that they were afraid that someone would know her if she got out of the car. If it was posted online, it would be another incident.
Yu Han agreed obediently, but she was also afraid that He Meng would suffer a disadvantage, so she left a gap in the car window and listened to the commotion outside. Then, she heard the drunk woman shouting, “What right do you have to arrest me? I’m a big star. The money I earn every minute is more than what you earn in ten years. Can you afford to compensate me if you hurt me?”
Yu Han was shocked. This female drunkard was actually a female celebrity? Her gossipy soul was ignited. She pressed her ear tightly against the gap and heard the female drunkard shout her name “Lu Zhu”.
“Lu Zhu?” Could it be that Lu Zhu?
Yu Han was going to audition for the second female lead in a web drama tomorrow. In the book, this second female lead was acted by someone else. If Yu Han remembered correctly, that person’s name was Lu Zhu.
Hence, before the two of them could compete in the production team, she had met her in advance. Was this fate or a coincidence? Yu Han could not tell for a moment.
As Lu Zhu was involved in drunk driving and the surveillance cameras were very clear, the responsibility for the accident was all on Lu Zhu’s side. Even so, He Meng, who quickly returned to the car, had an irritable and impatient expression.
“How much of our time has she wasted?”
“Why do I hear her calling herself a big star?” Yu Han was very curious if this Lu Zhu was really that Lu Zhu.
He Meng said disdainfully, “What big star? She’s just a small and transparent 38th-tier artist who has debuted for a year or two. She’s just showing off and disregarding the law because she’s an actress and has filmed a few movies.”
It seemed like it was really that Lu Zhu. Yu Han asked He Meng, “Do you know her?”
“I don’t know her, but I know her manager.” He Meng shook her head. “He’s greedy for money. He dares to promote anyone and do anything. If you see him in the future, stay far away.” Lu Zhu’s manager had a terrible reputation in the industry.
“Forget it. Let’s ignore them. I’m hungry. Let’s find a place to eat first,” He Meng suggested.
After a long day, Yu Han was also hungry. She quickly agreed and suggested, “Shall we go eat hotpot?”
