Chapter 300 - Hey, Don’t Cry

Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Hey, Don’t Cry

Liu Ran finally felt that she was in charge and back on her turf again.

The scene of Xue Yun’e poisoning Consort Rong should have been filmed today but it was temporarily postponed because of Tang Qing’s visit.

They filmed the main scene instead.

Zhuang Heng played the desert prince who provoked the emperor and vied with him for the character played by Liu Ran, during the reception banquet.

The prince of the desert, Ge’er, and Zhou Pinyun met a long time ago. When Ge’er was injured in an accident, it was Zhou Pinyun who saved him.

Hence, he vowed to marry her.

At the reception banquet, the empress Xue Yun’e wanted to show her prowess in front of Zhou Pinyun but was insulted by Ge’er.

Liu Ran was looking forward to the scene of Zhuang Heng teaching Yan Jinyi a lesson.

In the grand and opulent hall, a group of courtiers were sitting on both sides of the hall.

The emperor was sitting high on the dragon’s throne with concubines and consorts of various sizes.

The desert prince Ge’er was seated on the right in front of the emperor.

He was dressed in a fiery red native costume with his hair draped over his shoulders. Holding a cup in his hand, he squinted his narrow eyes and looked exceptionally sinister.

“The beauties of your nation are really stunning.”

Ge’er spoke while sipping on some wine but his gaze was fixed on Zhou Pinyun.

The previous incident between Zhou Pinyun and Ge’er had spread like wildfire and all the people present understood the meaning of his words.

The empress Xue Yun’e suddenly said, “Consort Zhou has specially prepared a dance for this reception banquet.”

Zhou Pinyun was known to be a good dancer, and hence, everyone looked at her curiously when they heard that.

Zhou Pinyun bit her lower lip and looked absolutely alluring.

Next, it should be the scene of her interaction with the prince.

“I…”

Smack…

The group of actors were getting into the mood when Zhuang Heng suddenly slapped his hand on the table.

“Cut, cut, cut.”

The assistant director smiled and quickly asked, “Zhuang Heng, what’s wrong?”

“That woman is now acting as the emperor’s concubine, right? Why is she looking at me with such a thirsty expression?”

Zhuang Heng reached out and pointed at Liu Ran, furrowing his brows deeply.

‘That woman? Zhuang Heng, you’ve worked with her so many times. You shouldn’t have forgotten her name, right?’

‘Besides, you’ve once publicly confessed to Liu Ran!’

Liu Ran had already prepared to go hard against Yan Jinyi just now but she was suddenly interrupted by Zhuang Heng. In particular, Liu Ran felt insulted after hearing Zhuang Heng’s words.

The reason that she tried so hard to have that scene filmed today was that she wanted to show Tang Qing and Zhuang Heng that she would always be better than Yan Jinyi.

‘What is going on with Zhuang Heng? Wasn’t he willing to offend the investors for my sake in the past? It’s all Yan Jinyi’s fault.’

Liu Ran thought to herself as she looked at Yan Jinyi.

Since Yan Jinyi debuted, Liu Ran had lost a significant amount of popularity to her.

Besides, in ‘Female Fortress Leader’, the role of Lin Conggui should have gone to her and the person who was widely appreciated for playing the role of Lin Conggui, should have been her!

‘That woman snatched my role, and now she still wants to snatch the person I fancy away from me?’

Yan Jinyi picked at her nails and noticed the gaze of jealousy that Liu Ran shot at her. However, she nevertheless looked at her calmly.

“Zhuang Heng, I… If there’s anything wrong with me, please enlighten me.”

Liu Ran quickly calmed down and grabbed the hems of her skirt with both hands pitifully.

Zhuang Heng was an impressive figure.

He couldn’t be treated like a normal person.

If others saw the look in Liu Ran’s eyes, they would definitely hug her and comfort her. Yet, Zhuang Heng’s reaction was exactly the opposite…

“Hey, don’t cry, others might think that I bullied you!”

Liu Ran sniffled and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. “I didn’t, Zhuang Heng, I just…”
