The gigolo kept by the matriarch turned out to be the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 273 Self-degradation



Chapter 273 Self-degradation

It's no exaggeration to say that the Su family practically controls the capital now, yet Xiao Xingyu is so arrogant. Is he truly confident, or is it just his personality that makes him disregard everyone?

Yun Yao had just arrived when she heard Xiao Xingyu's arrogant and presumptuous remarks, and her eyes darkened.

"Outsider? Even if it's just an outsider, that's enough to blacklist you." As soon as Yun Yao finished speaking, everyone looked up and saw her sitting in a chair, already dressed up, with a relaxed and lazy expression, not taking Xiao Xingyu seriously at all.

Xiao Xingyu and Yun Yao sat facing each other. Both of them were incredibly good-looking, but they regarded each other as enemies.

"Xiao Xingyu, how old are you? Stop resorting to threats. This is a film set, do you think it's your home?"

"I'd heard that Xiao Xingyu was not only a big shot, but also had a terrible temper. Now that I've finally met him, I'm truly impressed!"

"But you're also sensible for not starting filming before I arrived. I'll give you a shout-out for knowing how to respect your seniors; that's something I really appreciate."

With just a few words, Yun Yao transformed Xiao Xingyu's act of quitting and causing trouble into him waiting for her to finish her makeup before filming began.

Xiao Xingyu looked displeased, but he didn't say anything more. He put all his anger into his hands and clapped his hands very hard.

"As expected of Su Yuchen's woman, she really is just as sharp-tongued."

Yun Yao smiled very politely after hearing this.

"You flatter me. I'll take it as you being envious. After all, there aren't many people as eloquent as me."

"you!"

"Director Ma, everyone's here now, aren't we going to start filming?" Yun Yao turned to Ma Cheng'an beside her and asked.

Ma Chengan quickly snapped out of his daze and called out to prepare to start filming.

These two ancestors finally yielded to each other, so he had to seize the opportunity.

This scene is the most crucial moment for the deepening of Jingchen and Yu Nuo's relationship. Yu Nuo faints in the shopping street due to stomach problems. When Jingchen finds out, he puts down his work to find her and gently carries her away from the public eye. It is because of this scene that Jingchen and Yu Nuo begin to have an inextricable bond. Therefore, everyone in the crew attaches great importance to this scene.

However, in the very first take, the two encountered a bottleneck, repeatedly getting stuck.

Although Xiao Xingyu is a bit unreliable, his professional skills are undeniable, which is the biggest reason why Ma Chengan ultimately chose him. However, for some reason, he failed to get a princess carry shot right even after nearly ten takes.

Either the camera angle was off, or the expression was wrong. In this scene, Jing Chen felt pity for Yu Nuo and was slightly wavering in his heart, but Xiao Xingyu's eyes only showed scrutiny and resentment. He looked at Yun Yao as if she were an enemy, without any sense of empathy.

"Um, take a break, Teacher Xingyu. Calm yourself down. Your emotions were spot on, but a little too much. A little less is fine," Ma Chengan said tactfully.

Xiao Xingyu was still holding Yun Yao in his arms when the director yelled "Cut!" and he immediately let go without even bending down.

This wasn't the first time he'd done this today; his purpose was quite clear: he wanted to see Yun Yao make a fool of herself.

Unfortunately, he didn't see Yun Yao fall to the ground and cry. The moment he let go, Yun Yao jumped down nimbly, clapped her hands in disgust, and turned to leave.

"With acting skills like this, he still has the nerve to call himself an actor on par with Ge Beiyao? He's far from it! He takes more than ten takes for one scene. He's a disgrace to actors!" Yun Yao complained in a moderate tone, without any intention of hiding her true feelings from anyone.

Xiao Xingyu stood frozen in place, staring at that agile figure, his icy blue eyes blazing with fury.

Seeing this, Bai Mengyan stepped forward with a bottle of water.

"Teacher Xingyu, have some water."

Xiao Xingyu then shifted his gaze from Yun Yao to the person in front of him. Looking at Bai Mengyan, who was so well-mannered and had an outstanding appearance, the dark light in his eyes dimmed slightly.

This is what a woman should look like!

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." After saying that, Bai Mengyan turned around, seemingly not lingering over the time she spent with Xiao Xingyu.

Xiao Xingyu, however, became very interested in Bai Mengyan. He tossed the water to his assistant and strode after her.

"Miss Su, is that right?"

Bai Mengyan's eyes flickered slightly as she slowly turned her head.

"Teacher Xingyu, is there something wrong?"

Xiao Xingyu shook his head and put his arm around Bai Mengyan's shoulder.

"There's nothing wrong with it, I was just thinking about some old things. I was wondering if Miss Su has some time tonight? Would you like to have dinner with me?"

This was the second time Xiao Xingyu had offered to treat Bai Mengyan to dinner, but to everyone's surprise, she refused this time.

"Teacher Xingyu, I'm sorry, I have something to do tonight. I'll treat you another day."

Xiao Xingyu was now somewhat unsure of Bai Mengyan's true intentions, but with so many people watching, he couldn't afford to pester her relentlessly.

With practiced ease, he took Bai Mengyan's hand and, to her surprise, gently kissed the back of her hand.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you."

Many women on the field cast envious glances at Bai Mengyan. In their eyes, Xiao Xingyu was like Ge Beiyao, a star hanging in the sky, unattainable. Even just seeing him would make them feel fulfilled for the rest of their lives!

Unexpectedly, even after the Su family fell on hard times, Bai Mengyan still received special treatment from Xiao Xingyu! But soon, they were relieved. After all, Bai Mengyan's extremely charming face would probably make any man's heart flutter.

They thought so, but Lan Bing didn't think so. She was furious when she saw Bai Mengyan's alluring and seductive appearance. Bai Mengyan had clearly said that she would stand with her through thick and thin. First, she quietly took the second female lead role, and now she was even hooking up with Xiao Xingyu.

She's just a newcomer to the industry, what makes her so special?

Lan Bing stood up and swayed as she walked towards Xiao Xingyu.

Xiao Xingyu had just watched Bai Mengyan leave and hadn't even turned around when he saw a woman with a face that wasn't particularly outstanding, but a perfect figure, walking towards him.

Lan Bing was a familiar name to him; she played the third female lead in the film.

Before the female lead and second female lead were decided, Ma Cheng'an's peaceful life was promoted by Lan Bing. The promotional posters were full of her alluring photos, making it hard for Xiao Xingyu not to notice.

Xiao Xingyu always had great patience when it came to beautiful women. He stood there looking at Lan Bing, making no attempt to hide his gaze as he looked her up and down, his eyes lingering on the depths of her V-neck for a long time.

If someone else had a different face or identity and acted so recklessly, they would definitely be considered extremely lewd. However, since this person is Xiao Xingyu, Lan Bing believes that it is his appreciation for her.

Yun Yao drank the water Lin Dai'er handed her, and looked at Lan Bing's self-destructive appearance, and couldn't help but shake her head.

"Another woman is about to be added to Xiao Xingyu's list of scandals!"

Lin Dai'er and Bai Li, however, showed no sympathy for Lan Bing. In their eyes, Lan Bing was utterly hopeless!

“Miss, Mr. Su called me while you were filming and asked for the location of the film set,” Bai Li said.

Yun Yao waved her hand dismissively.

"It's okay, he's probably calculating how long it will take me to get home."

Bai Li: "..." This is allowed?

Unconsciously, Bai Li felt that she and Lin Dai'er had been fed another dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
