PFC Chapter 272 Just an outsider
Chapter 272 Just an outsider
"Mo Peichen, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, you'll be the next one thrown into the desert." Su Yuchen's voice was as cold as ice.
Mo Peichen shuddered involuntarily and rushed to Su Yuchen's side.
“Su Yuchen, you know that I’ve been working on the movie ‘Peaceful Years’ all along, but sometimes I’m willing but unable to do it. For example, when it came to casting, I asked a friend for help, and I never expected that he would invite Xiao Xingyu.”
"This really has nothing to do with me! President Su, please investigate!" Mo Peichen covered his head with his hands, his face full of pleading for mercy.
Seeing his reaction, Su Yuchen pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
"Wanwan is still on set, but they've replaced her."
Mo Peichen's heart skipped a beat. He slowly raised his eyes and asked cautiously, "Su Yuchen, why did Yun Yao go to film a movie?"
Su Yuchen didn't speak, but his slightly warning gaze fell on Mo Peichen's face.
Mo Peichen: "..."
"I won't ask anymore! I won't ask anymore, okay? I'll go and take care of it right now!" With that, he hurriedly left as if fleeing.
As soon as he stepped out the door, Mo Peichen hurriedly made a phone call to someone.
……
On an island, Ge Beiyao was reclining on a beach chair, with a glass of clear blue lemon sea salt beside him. Accompanied by soothing music, he was resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, a man who looked like a butler stepped forward, holding a cell phone that was ringing incessantly.
"Young Master, it's Mo Peichen on the phone."
The contented man simply raised his hand, and the butler understood immediately.
"Yes." With that, he deftly pressed the hang-up button.
A moment later, the phone rang again.
The butler waited respectfully to the side, not daring to disturb them further.
"Accept it," Ge Beiyao's gentle voice rang out.
As soon as the butler swiped to answer the call, Mo Peichen's angry voice rang out.
"Ge Beiyao, did you do this on purpose?"
"I can not understand what you say."
"Stop pretending! Dare you say you didn't hire Xiao Xingyu?"
Ge Beiyao slowly picked up the lemon sea salt glass and gently swirled it.
"I'm just fulfilling your wish."
Mo Peichen nearly coughed up blood, and roared in suppressed anger, "Do you even know who the female lead in this movie is?"
Ge Beiyao, however, did not take it to heart, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
"No matter who it is, they can only become a supporting character when they encounter someone of his status."
Mo Peichen really hated Ge Beiyao's attitude of not being able to stir up the slightest ripple in his heart at all!
"Stop talking nonsense! I don't believe you don't know that Yun Yao is the female lead for this drama! You're doing this on purpose! Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?!"
Ge Beiyao paused slightly as he swirled his wine glass, a serious expression crossing his face.
"Mo Peichen, what did you just say?"
Mo Peichen scoffed and refused to say anything more.
Ge Beiyao, however, was somewhat anxious, and unusually lost his composure.
You're saying the female lead is Yun Yao?
"Yes! Are you satisfied now! You know better than anyone what kind of person Xiao Xingyu is. Yun Yao is acting with him, have you ever thought about Su Yuchen! And me, what am I going to do?" Mo Peichen is caught in the middle, no matter who he is.
Ge Beiyao's expression was complicated as he hung up the phone.
The butler was puzzled; he had never seen his young master so out of control.
"Help me book the earliest flight back to China."
The butler left respectfully without asking why.
……
Hengdian, the film crew of "Peaceful Times".
Ma Cheng'an used all his skills to calm Yun Yao down, but the next second, he told Yun Yao that the first scene of the day would be a scene between the two of them.
"no!"
"No way!" Lin Dai'er and Bai Li said in unison.
"why?"
"Can't you see how angry my young lady is right now? Let's film other people's scenes first. In short, we will absolutely not film any scenes with that scoundrel today!" Lin Dai'er's attitude was very firm.
Ma Chengan secretly glanced at Yun Yao, and seeing that Yun Yao's expression was normal, he figured she meant the same thing.
Forget it, let's wait until things improve before arranging their scenes!
"Alright, I'll arrange it for you right away."
Meanwhile, the background information on Yun Yao and Bai Mengyan had already been delivered to Xiao Xingyu's desk.
"That woman is the eldest daughter of the Su family? The Su family? Is it the Su family I know?" Xiao Xingyu asked.
The subordinate beside him respectfully replied, "That's right, it's the Su family, which was once on par with the four great families."
Xiao Xingyu's icy blue eyes narrowed slightly, and a captivating smile appeared on his lips.
“Even if she was a phoenix before, she’s just a chicken now. A fallen princess is the easiest target.” Xiao Xingyu’s eyes widened as he thought of Bai Mengyan’s slender waist.
Scroll down to see Yun Yao's information.
"Yun Yao? Why does this name sound so familiar?" Lin Xingyu thought about it carefully, but gave up when he couldn't come up with anything.
"She's an illegitimate child? Illegitimate children are great, they must have never seen much of the world. If the money is right, it won't be a problem!"
When Xiao Xingyu's gaze fell on the column for Su Yuchen's wife, the temperature in the room plummeted.
"She's Su Yuchen's woman?"
His subordinates dared not raise their heads, their breaths trembling slightly.
With just one glance, Xiao Xingyu crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball.
"She's actually Su Yuchen's woman! Good, very good indeed!"
Xiao Xingyu stood up abruptly, his previous arrogant demeanor vanished, and he looked extremely sinister.
"Let's go and meet this woman."
Wherever Xiao Xingyu goes, he is escorted by bodyguards and taken care of by his assistants. He is definitely the most eye-catching person on set.
He filmed a few shots, but Yun Yao didn't appear for a long time, and he started to get impatient.
"Director Ma, we agreed that today is my scene with the female lead, and I've been standing here for ages. Where is she?" Xiao Xingyu frowned.
Ma Cheng'an now trembles at the mere mention of "Director Ma," and he's starting to regret inviting so many of his ancestors.
"Teacher Xingyu, Teacher Yunyao is not feeling well today. In order not to affect the progress later, I have asked her to go home and rest!"
But Xiao Xingyu remained unconvinced and even went on strike, having his bodyguard bring over a rocking chair so he could rest on set.
"I, the male lead, have been working so diligently, what illness does Teacher Yun Yao have? Is she about to die? She's so arrogant. Well then, I'll wait for her here. We'll start filming whenever she arrives!"
The happiest of them all were Bai Mengyan and Lan Bing. They were wary of Yun Yao, but Xiao Xingyu was not! If Yun Yao offended Xiao Xingyu, her fate would be worse than death!
Bai Mengyan keenly sensed Xiao Xingyu's targeting, and feeling that it wasn't enough, she prepared to add fuel to the fire.
"Senior, Yun Yao was brought in by our investors. She treats the film set like her own home and is used to being herself. We are just ordinary people and don't have much influence, so we can't say anything. But it would be bad if we delayed the production."
When Xiao Xingyu saw that it was the person he was thinking about speaking, he looked down on Yun Yao even more.
"An investor? She's just an outsider in the Su family. What gives her the right to be so arrogant?"
His words fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
