"Scared?" Tangning looked confusedly at Han Xiner not quite understanding her point.
"Don't worry. Even if I tell you, you wouldn't understand," Han Xiner shook her head before continuing, "Go look for the martial arts choreographer. I'll come look for you in a bit."
Tangning watched as Han Xiner walked over to Bei Chendong. Tanging couldn't understand what was going through her head; this was obviously the best chance for a little fan like herself to ask for an autograph, yet she was scared...
Bei Chendong's head remained lowered not giving anyone eye contact. It was exactly this foreign and distant feeling that made Han Xiner uncomfortable.
But, unexpectedly, Han Xiner managed to find a trace of similarity with Mo Ting on Bei Chendong's face.
She didn't keep it to herself though. Instead, she subconsciously shared her thoughts, "You look very similar to President Mo..."
"We are cousins."
"Huh?" As soon as Han Xiner heard this response she froze in shock.
"Don't tell anyone, no one knows. Not even Tangning," Bei Chendong said coldly as he turned and tidied the tent he had finished pitching.
Han Xiner pointed to herself in surprise. If no one knew, why did he tell her?
Plus, he had obviously finished pitching the tent, so why did he call her over to help?
Most importantly, what did she now know? That Bei Chendong and Mo Ting were cousins! No wonder their height and presence was so similar.
However, Mo Ting appeared more noble and his gaze was sharp. Whereas Bei Chendong was simply cold; he had a bone-piercing cold that made him unapproachable.
Han Xiner always chatted to Tangning about everything. But now she was suddenly forced to keep a secret from her. Worst of all, it was a secret that only she and the weirdo knew of. Thinking of this, Han Xiner now felt her every move was under surveillance. This strange feeling gave her goosebumps all over her body.
...
As Tangning had no martial arts foundation, the production crew organized for her to film non-action scenes in the first 15 days. During this time, she practiced martial arts every day with the choreographer.
With the harsh location, bad food and uncomfortable living conditions, the other two actresses started to complain that they couldn't continue filming like this...
During this time, Tangning simply stood to one side and did leg stretches or practiced her sword fighting.
Although she was a model, she was extremely flexible. So, as long as the martial arts scenes were well choreographed, she would look pleasing on screen like a cool heroine.
But, because of her seriousness, those that weren't so serious ended up being scolded by the director. On top of everything, the director loved using Tangning as a comparison, "You're late again! Tangning's already been here for two hours."
"Mosquitoes? We're out in the wilderness, of course there are mosquitoes. Look at Tangning, she has bruises all over her body. Do you see her complaining?"
"That's enough. Even the wife of a CEO can endure all this, why can't you guys endure?"
While filming, the director had quite a short temper, so he pretty much said whatever he wanted without thinking. But, he had no idea, his words would end up creating enemies for Tangning.
It was especially bad for one of the actresses who caused a delay because she had caught a fever from allergies. The director insisted she finish filming before she could rest. As a result, she ended up fainting on set.
"Did the director think everyone is like Tangning? How could he compare everything to her?"
"Why is Tangning being so serious? She's already married to a rich family, isn't she trying too hard?"
"If this continues, why don't we just get Tangning to act the entire thing herself?"
Rumors quickly spread on set, and of course, the clever Han Xiner managed to overhear a few conversations here and there. She quickly returned to Tangning's side and reported to her, "Ning Jie, what should we do? You've almost become everyone's enemy. It's hard to judge people's motives and you are currently so far from President Mo. If something was to happen, he wouldn't be able to help you even if he wanted to."
This was obviously the director's fault...
