Chapter 267 The Clown
Chapter 267 The Clown
Such pitiful cries were impossible for Ma Chengan to ignore. He followed everyone's gaze and saw that Lan Bing's area was in complete chaos.
He had seen plenty of scheming and jealousy among the actors on set. Each actor here had considerable influence, and if they were allowed to run rampant, the film's reputation would be ruined.
Ma Chengan rushed over anxiously, looking at Lan Bing's assistant with a serious expression.
"What's going on?" His voice was very stern.
As expected of someone like Lan Bing, this little assistant showed no fear whatsoever and even threw all the blame on Yun Yao.
"Director Ma, Ms. Yun Yao and our Sister Bingbing had a conflict on the day of the audition. Even so, there's no need to hold a grudge until now, right? Our Sister Bingbing got up early this morning to do her makeup, and now it's all ruined!" The assistant's eyes were full of suppressed emotion, as if she had really suffered a great injustice.
With so many people here, it wouldn't be right for him to always favor Yun Yao. He looked at Yun Yao and Lin Dai'er with a stern expression.
"Teacher Yunyao, is what she said true?"
Yun Yao calmly drank her juice. When she saw Ma Cheng'an pointing the finger at her, she slowly put down her juice, pulled Lin Dai'er, who wanted to explain, and stood up herself.
"If any lowly character could warrant my lingering resentment, what would be the point of your presence on Weibo's trending topics list? I'd probably be beating up this person today and banning that person tomorrow." Yun Yao walked towards Lan Bing, who was being held by her assistant, her sharp gaze landing on the assistant's face.
"Blue Ice, right? I admit, I didn't like you when I first met you, but you're not qualified to be my opponent at all. Don't overestimate yourself."
"And you, as her assistant, you should have been concerned about her reputation. Now that everyone knows, it's clear you also wanted to see her embarrassed, right?"
The assistant's eyes darted away for a moment after hearing those words.
"What nonsense are you talking about! I just don't understand why you're bullying our Bingbing. Even if you are the president's wife of Yonsei International, aren't you afraid of retribution for being so arrogant?"
After her assistant finished speaking, Lan Bing immediately pulled off the blanket covering her head. Her wet hair and messy makeup made her look extremely disheveled. She glared at her assistant and then called out "Director Ma" in a very aggrieved tone.
Ma Cheng'an got goosebumps from her calling him that. Even if he wanted to be tolerant of Yun Yao, it was a bit far-fetched. He looked at Yun Yao with a troubled expression.
"Teacher Yunyao, look at this..."
Yun Yao was truly impressed by the thought processes of the "master and servant duo" and had no intention of continuing the charade.
"Director Ma, since so many eyes are watching, there's no point in me saying anything more. There are security cameras on set, right? Let's check them and let everyone see who started it." Yun Yao emphasized the last sentence.
She did take action, but it was only in self-defense. Since the two of them, master and servant, insisted on arguing, she didn't mind letting everyone see Lan Bing's true colors.
Upon hearing this, the assistant retorted confidently, "It was clearly you who splashed water on Sister Bingbing. Let's adjust the rules then, are we afraid of you?"
Lan Bing then remembered what Yun Yao had just said. Even at this point, the assistant's attitude was still so stubborn. It was really to make everyone see her embarrass herself!
"Enough!" Lan Bing stood up, her resentful gaze sweeping over everyone present, especially when she met Yun Yao's deep eyes, her hatred intensified.
"Just consider it my bad luck, Yun Yao. If I did anything wrong, you can just tell me directly. Why do this..." As she spoke, tears welled up in Lan Bing's eyes.
Lan Bing truly lives up to her reputation as an actress; her tears flowed effortlessly. In this situation, many people sided with the more vulnerable Lan Bing.
Yun Yao didn't care whether or not the surveillance footage was adjusted. She believed in leaving room for maneuver so that they could meet again in the future. Lan Bing and Bai Mengyan were the same kind of people. If they couldn't be killed in one blow, they would definitely keep popping up and bothering people in the future.
Yun Yao waved her hand, looking impatient, and was about to speak when she heard Ma Cheng'an's voice.
"Alright, since you're in such a sorry state, stop trying to grab attention. Change your clothes and get ready for the next scene," Ma Chengan said.
For some reason, Ma Cheng'an felt that something was amiss with what happened today, and deep down he still sided with Yun Yao.
Because he knew that someone who could portray the character of Yu Nuo so perfectly could not possibly be a bad person at heart.
Lan Bing originally wanted to play the victim card again, but since Ma Cheng'an had already said so, she couldn't continue. She could only leave feeling wronged, her back view looking particularly thin and pitiful.
"Alright, what are you all doing gathered around here? Disperse, disperse," Ma Chengan said.
After everyone had dispersed, Ma Chengan walked towards Yun Yao.
Yun Yao looked at him with great interest, a smile playing on her lips.
Ma Cheng'an felt somewhat ashamed and apologized to Yun Yao: "Miss Yun, the film set is so big that sometimes I can't keep track of everything. Thank you for not being too insistent on the schedule earlier."
Others may be blind, but Ma Chengan is very shrewd. How could he not see that Yun Yao was deliberately letting Lan Bing win?
Upon hearing this, Yun Yao raised her hand in a languid manner.
"I just wanted to get off work early and go home for dinner, Director Ma, you're overthinking it."
Yun Yao's frankness made Ma Cheng'an a little embarrassed, but he still thanked her.
After Ma Chengan left, Lin Daier angrily stepped forward.
"Miss, why should we give in to that bitch? I wish I could poison her and ruin her vixen face!"
Yun Yao said nonchalantly, "Dai'er is just a clown, nothing to be afraid of."
Lin Dai'er was still unwilling to give up.
"Are you just going to let her go so easily?"
Yun Yao shook her head, looked at Lan Bing's van, and slowly opened her mouth: "If you dare to mess with my people, you should be prepared to be ruined."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dai'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that the ancestor would never let that villain Lan Bing off easily!
"Miss, what should we do?"
But what Yun Yao said next left Lin Dai'er somewhat confused.
"do nothing."
"do nothing?"
"Ah."
After Lan Bing finished her makeup, she had scenes with Bai Mengyan. Yun Yao only had a few close-up shots to film. The two didn't interfere with each other. By the time the scenes for today were finished, it was already dark.
Yun Yao stretched and took the phone from Lin Dai'er.
Just three seconds later, the phone rang.
"I'm looking up, above the moon..."
Yun Yao's ringtone was so loud that it was impossible for anyone not to notice it.
Yun Yao answered the call nonchalantly, her face filled with tenderness.
"Hey, are you off work yet?"
"Just got off, what about you?"
"I just finished work and was about to go home. Do you want to have dinner together?" Yun Yao asked as she got into the car while making a phone call.
"Okay, it's on you."
After hanging up the phone, Yun Yao's face was beaming with happiness, and even the atmosphere in the car became much more cheerful.
Lin Dai'er was talking incessantly to Bai Li about Lan Bing, and after listening, Bai Li's face turned pale.
“Miss, Lan Bing will definitely not let this go. Should we get rid of her?” Bai Li said in a deep voice.
Yun Yao glanced at the two of them, somewhat helplessly. Why are kids these days so temperamental?
