Chapter 56 An Impromptu Plot


    "Bring it on. I won''t give in." Julia smirked, a gleam of determination dancing in her eyes.


    Consu arrived just in time to see Jean leave the room, briefly exchanging nces with one another.


    When Consu closed the door behind her, she widened her eyes at Julia. "What happened? Did she


    give you a hard time?"


    "No, she didn''t." Julia breathed in and gave Consu a bitter smile. "I think you should take a look at


    the script."


    As Consu skimmed through it, her frown deepened, mirroring Julia''s reaction from earlier.


    What does she mean? Is she mocking you?" There was angerced in Consu''s voice when she


    spoke. "Jean has done so many bad things, and she even wrote such a novel to defame you. This is


    ridiculous!"


    "Jean''s novel is so popr now, and we can do nothing about it," Julia said with a bitter smile.


    "It''s all my fault. If only I read the script earlier," Consu distressingly said. She felt sorry for her


    friend.


    Julia casually nced at her with a puzzled expression. "What the hell are you talking about? What


    does it have to do with you?"


    Julia calmly patted Consu on her shoulder and reassured her, "I''m fine. Don''t worry, I know how to


    y well."


    "But..." Consu looked at the script, still annoyed at the storyline.


    "Julia, the director is calling you." A voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.


    "Coming," Julia replied in a hurry. "Well, I have to go now. It''s my first day of filming and I want to do my


    best."


    Without another word, she walked out the room. When she approached the set, she found Jean


    laughing with the director. She headed towards their direction and mustered up all the courage she


    had. "Director Guo, you were looking for me?"


    "Yeah. The next scene is yours. You better be well prepared," he said to her.

    Julia obediently stood aside, waiting for the heroine to finish her part. When it was finally her turn, Jean


    suddenly suggested, "Director Guo, I think there is something wrong with the previous scene. If the


    heroine is really disheartened, then I don''t think we have to exin anything. We should make some


    adjustments."


    "But..." Director Guo frowned. He understood what Jean meant, but he couldn''t change it because of


    time constraints.


    "Director Guo, I am doing this so that our show bes sessful. As you know, this is my first TV


    series and I really want it to be perfect. Please forgive me." Seeing that Jean sounded sincere about it,


    Director Guo felt too embarrassed to refuse her request. His face brightened into a smile. "Well, we can


    do as you said and change it. But for the heroine... you have to convince her to redo the scene."


    The leading actress Director Guo invited to star as the heroine was a famous celebrity named Lisa


    Zheng. Although her acting wasn''t bad, she was well-known for being difficult to cooperate with.


    It was already hard enough to finish her scene. He got worried that she wouldn''t react well if she found


    out they had to shoot again.


    "Don''t worry. I will handle it," Jean replied lightly.


    She left her seat and headed towards Lisa''s resting area. With a grin stered on her face she


    commented, "Miss Zheng, your performance was really great today."


    Lisa wore her sunsses and obnoxiously raised her head to look at the person who had spoken. She


    gave her assistant a confused expression.


    The assistant bowed her head and whispered something in her ear. After finding out who Jean was,


    she beamed. "Thank you, Miss Gu. Your script is well-written."


    "Miss Zheng, you have great humor. No matter how good my script is, if you don''t act well, then


    everything will be futile." Jean maintained a warm expression. "To be honest, you and I are sort of


    connected. Your boyfriend and my fiance are actually business partners."


    Lisa''s boyfriend coborated with Terence. Once again, the assistant lowered her head and whispered


    another name in Lisa''s ear. Surprised, she immediately took off her sses.


    "Oh, Miss Gu, you are Mr. Chen''s fiancee. I''m apologize for not recognizing you," Lisa said in a


    ttering manner. "My boyfriend, Richard, is always talking about Mr. Chen. We should have dinner


    together, if we have a chance in the future."


    "You are very kind, Miss Zheng. It will be my treat. Think of it as a way of saying thank you for thinking


    highly of me and for willing to take part in this TV series." Jeanughed a melodic sound.


    "Please don''t call me Miss Zheng. It sounds so strange. I insist that you call me Lisa," the actress kindly


    offered.


    "Lisa." Jean nodded her head and cleared her throat. "Then I insist you call me Jean. There are two


    ladies here called Miss Gu, you might get confused."


    "You mean Julia?" Lisa''s her voice was filled with contempt as she scornfully stared in Julia''s direction.


    "Is it true that she''s your sister?"


    "Yes." Jean nodded in response.


    "What a pity!" Lisa sneered. "You are so kind-hearted. How is it that you are rted to a vicious


    woman?"


    "These are all just rumors. You can''t believe them," Jean eximed, grinning at her new friend.


    "Jean, since we''re now friends, I''d like to confide in you." Lisa''s face darkened into a scowl. "I have


    disliked Julia for a long time. I advise you to stay away from her and save yourself."


    Jean''s smile didn''t waver. "She will always be my sister no matter what."


    Although she tried to sound sincere, deep inside, she was well aware of the conflict between Lisa and


    Julia.


    She heard that in the beginning, Lisa had rmended her cousin for the supporting role. When she


    found out that her cousin was reced by Julia, Lisa began to hate her.


    In her mind, Jean knew that Lisa would be someone useful to her.


    "Let''s not talk about this." Jean chortled a bitterugh. "I came here to ask you for help."


    "What is it?" Lisa asked. "We''re friends now. If you need help, just let me know."


    "Then I''ll say it." Jean cleared her throat and gave Lisa a warm nce. "Here''s the thing, I know that


    you just finished shooting your scene. But after discussing with the director, we both agreed that there''s


    a part that we need to modify. So I just want to ask, can we shoot againter?"


    "Just that?" Lisaughed and waved her hand. "No problem."


    "Thank you very much," Jean replied with a cheerful expression. "I''ll ask the director to prepare for it."


    "Okay." Lisa readily agreed without a trace of hesitation.
