“If there’s something you want to say, then say it,” the director replied.
“Are you not afraid that I’d reveal the matter bet**en you and I to the public?”
“Haha, Xu Xin, if you want to self-destruct then go ahead. I wonder how many people will trust you. And even if they do, I wonder who will be affected more. I could always move to working behind-the-scenes and no longer appear in the public eye, but what about you?”
“If this matter gets revealed, do you think you’d still be able to survive in the entertainment industry?”
“You…”
Xu Xin never imagined that the director was even more shameless than she was.
“Do you remember what you said when you first seduced me? You said that you didn’t want anything from me and that you were merely lonely…Don’t tell me that I was the one that actually said those words…”
Xu Xin looked a bit uncomfortable, like she had swallowed a fly, but she deserved all that was happening to her. After all, she had provoked someone that she shouldn’t have.
After enduring for a while, Xu Xin put away the script and said, “I hope you can follow through with your promise and recommend me to the other production.”
“Of course,” the director replied casually.
Xu Xin hated herself at that moment. From the moment she first debuted, even though her path hadn’t been all glitz and glamor, noone had ever escaped from the palm of her hands. Yet, this time, she had slept with the director multiple times without gaining any benefits whatsoever.
It was all Emma’s fault.
Seeing that Emma continued to be respected on set, Xu Xin reacted like she had been possessed.
But, it didn’t matter. Even if her screentime had been cut in half, she was going to find an opportunity to get revenge. Since Emma made her suffer in such a way, she was going to make Emma suffer too.
Emma would have to wait and see!
Even from a distance, Lin Qian could clearly see Xu Xin’s exp**ssion and could tell that the director had made a move, so she approached Emma and said, “This woman might end up holding a grudge against you. We need to be careful from now on.”
“Did you think that if we went easy on her, she would have been grateful?” Emma shook her head with a laugh. “If she had her way, then life would be much too unfair for everyone else, even though the industry is full of battles.”
“I understand. From now on, I’ll keep a close eye on her every move.”
Xu Xin acted indifferent, but, she had no intention of letting the cast and crew of ‘Survivor’ off….
After this incident, Xu Xin quietened down a lot. But, this did not prevent Lin Qian from keeping her guard up. Because, according to Emma’s prediction, this was merely the calm before the storm.
“Xu Xin is about to complete her scenes. If she is smart, she will agree to the director’s suggestion and move to another production.”
“Do you think that she’d act stupidly?” Lin Qian asked.
“What do you think?” There was a sense of wisdom in Emma’s eyes. “If she is smart, she will know that pestering the director will merely put her in a worse position.”
“I’m worried that she has plans to go down together,” Lin Qian concluded.
Xu Xin had been fully focused on acting over the past few days and didn’t say much. It appeared, Lin Qian’s prediction was highly likely…
“I’ll do some investigating and see who she’s been meeting with lately.”
Xu Xin filmed the rest of her scenes like normal. And finally, with an applause from the crew, she completed her parts in the film. At this time, Emma still had a few thousand scenes to film.
Lin Qian had investigated Xu Xin, but did not discover anything. She simply noticed that she had been visiting the nearby medical clinic every now and then to get some pain killers.
“Perhaps we were being too paranoid,” Lin Qian reported.
Emma was quiet for a moment, but her thoughts weren’t simple, “Although we promised that we wouldn’t get involved in the director’s private life, we should still warn him to be cautious of Xu Xin.”
“Stuff like this is hard to say face-to-face,” Lin Qian replied.
After Xu Xin completed her filming, the director followed through with his promise and handed her a new script, “Call the contact that I’ve circled in this script. He will find a role for you.”
“Director, come to my room tonight. There’s something important that I want to talk to you about,” Xu Xin said, pale-faced. “I’m pregnant with your child…”
The director froze in disbelief as he began to doubt her, “We used contraception…”
“But I still fell pregnant,” Xu Xin replied seriously. “I’m not requesting for anything. It’s simply not convenient for us to talk about it here. Whether you want to keep the child or not, come to my room tonight and tell me. I definitely won’t cling to you.”
“I can tell you over the phone…”
“You are the child’s father. You should at least give it a proper farewell.” After speaking, Xu Xin turned and left, leaving the director in a daze.
Needless to say, the director’s mind was in a mess. In fact, he had no idea what to do. It was at this moment that his eyes met with Emma and Lin Qian.
However, he quickly avoided Emma’s gaze and pretended like nothing had happened.
Emma had a clear grasp of the situation, but she did not p**ssure the director. Instead, she waited until dinner before she finally said to him, “Director, this entire thing has always been a small matter. I hope it doesn’t end on a sour note. Don’t let the production get involved in too much filth, otherwise, I can’t possibly remain.”
“You need to be aware of your responsibilities.”
The director let out a sigh and replied with his honest thoughts, “It’s actually not an unreasonable thing for me to be with Xu Xin. I already had a divorce with my wife two years ago, so being with another woman doesn’t tread on any moral grounds. It is just a simple relationship bet**en a man and woman.”
“Emma, I know that you don’t like dirty acts like this; it is my fault for losing to temptation. But, I wasn’t completely blinded by desire to the point where I let it affect the normal operations of the production.”
“Since that’s the case, the director should reveal the truth as soon as possible. You need to strike first before your enemy gains the advantage…” Emma said with an extra layer of meaning.
After hearing this, the director let out a laugh as his exp**ssion lightened and he raised a thumb at Emma, “You are indeed wise.”
Emma did not say another word and simply smiled.
After all, no one hated dirty underhandedness as much as she did.
“I remember that Feng Teng Media wanted to do an interview with ‘Survivor’ not too long ago. The timing is just right…”
It was good that the director understood what to do.
As a result, Emma could finally relax. She no longer had to worry about the schemes that Xu Xin was plotting. As long as the director revealed everything, then the filth would never affect her, no matter how much Xu Xin threw it around. On the other hand, everyone naturally would feel sorry for the director after discovering the dark side of Xu Xin.
After completing her scenes, Xu Xin waited inside her hotel room for the director. But, she had no idea that he was in the middle of an interview with the media.
Apart from promoting ‘Survivor’, the director looked unusually happy. So, the media were curious.
“Does the director have some kind of good news? You’re glowing with joy.”
“I’m not gonna lie. Previously, to protect the privacy of my family, I did not reveal that my ex-wife and I had finalized our divorce two years ago. But recently, I discovered I am about to become a father, so I want to take my child and its mother into consideration and prevent any misunderstandings.”
“In that case, we must congratulate you. I wonder who’s the lucky woman?”
“It’s our production’s actress. The one that just completed her filming today, Xu Xin,” the director unveiled in seriousness. “We met while filming. I hope everyone can give us their blessings.”
“That’s great!”
In reality, the media didn’t care about the director’s private matters, but since he wanted to mention it, they naturally responded with their blessings.
Soon, news spread to the entire industry and Xu Xin received a phone call from her manager, “Why are you in a relationship with the director?”
Xu Xin was completely puzzled.
“How did you know?”
“The director revealed it to the public. Since you offended Kaleidoscope, I guess it’s not a bad idea to find a source of support. Congratulations.”
As soon as Xu Xin heard this, she opened her phone and did an online search…
In response, she smashed her phone on the floor. Her original plan was to destroy the director, but he ended up confessing his love for her and even told everyone that she was pregnant!
In reality, her stomach was empty. It was simply a lie to lure the director to her room. But now, she had shot herself in the foot.
If she was to reveal that she wasn’t pregnant, the director could now turn around and accuse her of swindling him.
Soon, the director arrived as promised. But, unlike their usually secret encounters, he was now meeting her openly.
“Xu Xin…”
Xu Xin reminded herself to contain her anger. It was a good opportunity for her to test if the director was being sincere with her.
