“Actually, I should have realized earlier. You have so many women around you, coming and going, all different kinds. You can never resist temptation. I once thought that maybe I was different to you, but in the end, I was just deceiving myself. I’m no different, just blindly falling for you like the others.”

“But I’ve had enough of this life. I don’t want to make myself more and more cheap. Let’s break up. I’m tired.” She shoved the food into his hands, “You can eat this yourself.”

Watching her resolutely walk away, Chen Zhao was so furious that he threw the things in his hands to the ground.

It’s all because of that woman. If it weren’t for her interfering, with his own abilities, how could he have ended up being dumped like this? At this moment, he hated Wang Xiaoke to the core. In his life, he had never been slapped in the face like this.

On the other side, Wang Xiaoke didn’t even realize she had offended anyone. She casually bought a loaf of bread at the supermarket and hurried back to the company.

“Xiaoke, why are you only just getting here? What time is it?” Liu Hai, looking as busy as ever, grabbed Wang Xiaoke and pulled her over.

“Our new drama is about to start filming. The actors are already in place. Xiao Ling is in the makeup room. Take these costumes to her.” Liu Hai handed her a few sets of ancient costume clothing and instructed, “Be careful, don’t mess up. She’s the female lead, and these will be used in the shoot later.”

In the makeup room.

“Hey, isn’t this Miss Feng?” Xiao Ling, a slender and pure-looking woman, greeted Feng Ning as she walked into the makeup room.

Feng Ning’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the woman. Every time she saw her, something bad always happened.

She asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”

Sure enough, the other person smugly replied, “Sorry, but I’m the female lead of this drama.”

Xiao Ling and Feng Ning were both considered the “two flowers” of A University, having both graduated from the same school and debuted around the same time. As a result, many people online often compare the two.

Feng Ning bit her lip, a trace of unwillingness flashing in her eyes. She had been directly dropped from the female lead role and replaced by her rival, Xiao Ling. If this news got out, there would definitely be people who would claim that Feng Ning’s acting wasn’t as good as Xiao Ling’s, and even worse, some might label her as just a pretty face with no substance. But Feng Ning was not the kind of person who would allow such things to happen.

“It’s just blind luck. What’s there to be so smug about?” she scoffed.

“Miss Feng, although you were originally set as the female lead, it’s not right to blame your acting skills for being replaced. You shouldn’t have such a sour attitude. You should work on improving your acting. Otherwise, you’ll just end up as a pretty face,” Xiao Ling said with fake sweetness.

She curled her lips into a smile, looking innocent and sweet, but her words were the opposite. “Although I don’t have a huge background, I was personally selected by Mr. Song. So, when you say that, aren’t you implying that Mr. Song’s taste isn’t that great?”

“You…” Feng Ning knew she was defeated by this woman today. How could she forget that Xiao Ling was skilled with her words, able to twist anything to her advantage.

“Miss Xiao, these are the clothes you’ll need,” Wang Xiaoke said just in time. She could already smell the tension in the air as she walked in.
