The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 899 - 313: Su Yingxue’s Arrogant Overreach (Part 2)

Seeing Zuo Yuqing sipping tea and applying a face mask, with no sign of urgency on her face, the anger in her heart flared up. She immediately turned her head to the director, boldly pointed at Zuo Yuqing with her slender finger, and spoke with a hint of anger, "Director, I’m putting it out here today—it’s either her or me in this crew. The Su Family has also invested in this drama, so you better think it through clearly, Director."

Su Yingxue’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but almost everyone around could hear it. Instantly, all eyes fell on Zuo Yuqing and then shifted to look at Su Yingxue.

Finally, the gazes once again landed on Zuo Yuqing. Those looks contained sympathy, schadenfreude, but also some discontent.

The director’s face suddenly turned unpleasant. How could he not realize that Su Yingxue was threatening him?

The Su Family indeed has invested in this film, and it’s not a small amount. Meanwhile, Zuo Yuqing is the main actress of this drama, and a third of the shooting has already been done. Changing the lead actress now wouldn’t be good. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Moreover, when promoting this drama, it was openly announced that Zuo Yuqing, the reigning Hollywood actress, would be the lead. Her influence is beyond estimation both nationally and globally.

Offending either side seems to have bad consequences. The director was sweating profusely by now, unable to make a choice.

If he chooses Zuo Yuqing, the Su Group might withdraw their investment. But if he chooses Su Yingxue, the drama might be criticized even before it airs.

After Su Yingxue finished speaking, she looked at Zuo Yuqing proudly. She was confidently assuming that the director would definitely take her side over Zuo Yuqing’s.

After all, the Su Group did invest in this drama, and although not the largest investor, they did put in a significant amount of money.

Of course, Zuo Yuqing heard what Su Yingxue said. She was briefly stunned, even stopping her action of applying an egg mask on her face. Then she turned her head to look at Sister Ling beside her, and asked puzzledly, "The Su Group also invested in this drama?"

How did she not know?

Sister Ling was also puzzled. She hadn’t heard about the Su Group investing in this drama before, but upon seeing Su Yingxue’s extremely confident demeanor and the director looking troubled, it’s probably true.

In the urgency of the moment, Sister Ling quickly flipped through the documents beside her. After a while, she looked up at Zuo Yuqing beside her and said, "They started investing recently. Initially, the crew was short on costumes, so the Su Group invested then, probably to help Su Yingxue fit in better with the crew."

But it was unexpected that Su Yingxue would try to use this to directly kick Zuo Yuqing out of the crew.

Upon hearing Sister Ling’s words, Zuo Yuqing’s expression instantly changed.

Standing not far from Zuo Yuqing, Su Yingxue naturally noticed the change in her expression, thinking Zuo Yuqing was afraid. Her smile grew even more smug.

Someone getting too carried away often becomes reckless, and that’s exactly what Su Yingxue did. She directly addressed Zuo Yuqing, "Zuo Yuqing, are you scared now? I’d advise you to leave the crew and apologize to me, or I’ll have my dad blacklist you."

Hearing Su Yingxue’s words, Zuo Yuqing tilted her head and gave her a strange look that clearly said, ’Are you out of your mind?’

Because it wasn’t the first time Zuo Yuqing had looked at her like that, Su Yingxue finally understood, and with fury rising, she pointed at Zuo Yuqing and shouted, "What are you so proud of? Do you think being an actress is a big deal? Who knows how many men you slept with to get this position..."

No one likes hearing insults like that. Instantly, Zuo Yuqing’s face turned serious, even her gaze towards Su Yingxue turned colder, her voice suppressing her anger, "Su Yingxue, being a person requires limits. Do you think everyone is like you? Do you think An City only has the Su Group to invest in this drama? Do you think with just a little investment, this crew is yours? Miss Su from the Su Group, feeling powerful?"

Her series of questions came out directly. Although she was still sitting there, looking less imposing, her words made Su Yingxue’s face change repeatedly.

She opened her mouth to curse, but when she met Zuo Yuqing’s gaze, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

Seeing Su Yingxue’s state, Zuo Yuqing sneered disdainfully. Then she turned to look at Sister Ling beside her and changed her tone, "Sister Ling, the costumes I wore for filming before, they couldn’t all be provided by the Su Group, could they?"

Everyone around heard this, including Su Yingxue, and their expressions changed slightly. For a moment, no one knew what Zuo Yuqing meant by this.

But Su Yingxue, not waiting for Sister Ling to speak, had already said, "Yes, our family provided them. If you have guts, don’t wear them!"

Zuo Yuqing’s face darkened further, not directly answering Su Yingxue’s words. Instead, she called her assistant over, pointing to the sets of clothes she used for filming, and said, "Go and throw those outfits away. Damn, I need to take a shower!"
