Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 489: You Better Give It to Me

Feeling the threat from Lu Yao, Brother Li fell silent for a while and then said, "The female lead for ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles,’ Director Feng intends to give it to Gu Xinyan, that’s what I just heard from Director Feng, but he hasn’t made a final decision yet, you still have hope."

Through clenched teeth, she squeezed out three words and then hung up the phone harshly: "I know."

It seems this Gu Xinyan is truly a formidable rival, not only did she snatch ’The Sword Rain Hero Chronicle’ but also the female lead in ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles’.

Lu Yao hung up the phone, her eyes sparkled with anger, Sister Li was right, Gu Xinyan was not Sister Li’s enemy, but she was a formidable rival to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao sneered in her heart, this is too much, I can’t let you get this role so easily, if you want to fight with me, you’re still a bit too green.

Her eyes darted, quickly coming up with a plan, then she strode over to Gu Xinyan.

Seeing Lu Yao walking towards her, Gu Xinyan’s face lit up with a shy yet excited smile, Lu Yao was her idol, she had loved several of her films.

Having heard that Lu Yao, like herself, was an actor signed with Qinghai Film and Television, she had never seen her in person until today. It was true, she deserved to be Qinghai Film and Television’s number one sister, both her charisma and looks were unmatched.

With eyes as sharp as daggers staring at Gu Xinyan, Lu Yao smiled brightly: "Oh, so this is our little junior sister, Gu Xinyan, so pure and cute, no wonder Director Feng would choose you as the female lead in his film, I’m so envious."

Blushing under Lu Yao’s gaze, Gu Xinyan extended her hand graciously: "Hello, Sister Lu Yao, you’ve always been my idol, I’m so happy to meet you."

"I’m happy too, little sister, isn’t it hard for you, a disabled person, to work so hard in acting?"

Ordinarily, people wouldn’t blatantly call someone disabled, but Lu Yao didn’t hold back at all. Gu Xinyan’s expression slightly changed, feeling Lu Yao’s words were barbed, perhaps Lu Yao was straightforward, Gu Xinyan didn’t blame her rudeness.

"It is a bit difficult, but my legs are much better now, and I can stand and walk, thanks to Director Feng’s encouragement."

Lu Yao’s eyes were filled with contempt: "Little sister, I admire you, although physically challenged, your resolve isn’t. You’re so graceful and beautiful even in a wheelchair. If you participated in the Paralympics, or there’s a Huaxia Film Award for disabled people, you’d surely win a big prize, hahaha."

Having said that, Lu Yao laughed heartily, causing Director Feng and Brother Li nearby to frown. If calling Gu Xinyan disabled the first time was accidental, then now, everyone could tell she was doing it deliberately to mock Gu Xinyan, laughing so extravagantly.

Hearing Lu Yao’s piercing laughter, Gu Xinyan turned pale, her beautiful impression of Lu Yao had been completely destroyed, her face slightly reddened with a feeling of humiliation.

Seeing Gu Xinyan’s change in expression, Lu Yao felt a sense of revengeful pleasure and didn’t stop mocking her, laughing even louder, drawing many eyes from people around.

"Haha, have you ever shot an adult movie? I bet if you did, it’d be a hit."

Director Feng showed a displeased expression and was about to persuade Lu Yao to tone it down when Lu Xiaomei behind Gu Xinyan spoke first: "What are you saying? Watch your words."

Lu Yao put her hand on her forehead, faking a bit of drunkenness: "Oh, so you brought a bodyguard. Sister drank a bit too much, little sister, don’t mind me, your bodyguard looks so strong, please don’t hit me."

"It’s okay, since Lu Yao drank too much and was speaking nonsense, I won’t blame you."

Suppressing her discontent, Gu Xinyan told Lu Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, I’m a bit stuffy in the chest, push me out to get some air."

Lu Xiaomei pushed Gu Xinyan to the door, looking longingly at the lavish buffet table, she hadn’t had enough to eat yet.

With a slight look of regret, Lu Xiaomei asked: "Are we going back now?"

"No, I just need some air, you go and eat what you like, I’ll stay here quietly for a bit."

"Don’t wander off, I’ll just eat a few more pieces of bread then I’ll be full."

Lu Yao’s eyes remained on Gu Xinyan at the door. Seeing her alone, she strode over with an apologetic face: "I’m sorry, I drank too much just now and was talking nonsense. Please don’t be angry, forgive me."

Seeing Lu Yao’s apology, Gu Xinyan believed it, and her sadness gradually dissipated: "It’s okay, I’m not good at remembering unhappy things, they naturally fade."

"Your dress is really beautiful, especially that necklace on your chest, it matches your outfit so well, like stars, it’s dazzling. You’re the prettiest girl here today."

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Lu Yao, compared to you, I’m far from it."

Lu Yao pushed Gu Xinyan’s wheelchair forward: "It’s too noisy here, shall we head out and have a chat?"

Seeing Lu Yao’s friendly smile, Gu Xinyan agreed, she had many questions about acting to ask her: "Sister Lu Yao, I have a question about emotional scenes I’d like to ask you."

"Haha, go on, I may not teach you other things, but in acting, I can definitely teach you."

Lu Yao pushed Gu Xinyan to the side where there was another studio, took the elevator to the second floor, where the stage lights shone brightly and some charming models were filming an ad.

From the auditorium steps, Gu Xinyan’s wheelchair couldn’t go down, so she had to watch the models perform from the back row, a sly glint flashed in Lu Yao’s eyes.

Facing Gu Xinyan and with her back to the stage, she smiled warmly: "Little sister, I heard Director Feng wants you to be the female lead in ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles,’ is that true?"

From the banquet hall to the studio, Gu Xinyan felt a good rapport with Lu Yao, so she was not on her guard when asked about ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles.’

"Yes, Director Feng said I’m the most suitable for the female lead. How did you know, did Director Feng tell you? It hasn’t been finalized yet, the script isn’t fully revised, and it’ll take some time to decide."

A strong feeling of jealousy rose in Lu Yao’s heart, she sneered: "Can you give that female lead role to me?"

Hearing Lu Yao say that, Gu Xinyan was taken aback, she didn’t expect Lu Yao to ask her to give up the female lead in ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles.’ She frowned; this was not as simple as giving away a piece of clothing or a movie ticket. Collaborating with Director Feng was every actress’s dream, a great opportunity for the future.

Although Lu Yao was her idol and felt like a kind colleague, Gu Xinyan had no intention of handing over her future.

Lu Yao’s expression turned fierce: "Gu Xinyan, you’ve already taken my role in ’The Sword Rain Hero Chronicle,’ you had better let me have the ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles’ female lead."
