Chapter 1423: Apologies to Su Manman
Although the two personalities were distinct from each other, they were also similar at the same time. The most apparent difference lay in the fact that the second personality would wreak havoc. But other than that, the difference between the two personalities was subtle…
It was her job to act out the two personalities so that the audience could distinguish between the two of them. It was indeed a challenging role.
Even in her previous life, Su Manman had never encountered such a challenging role.
Other movie productions would first cast the main leads before the other roles. This movie, however, was doing it the other way around. Before establishing the main leads, they had decided on the casts for all the other roles.
Su Manman gripped the script tightly in her hand, a confident smile on her lips. She was determined to get this role.
If even she couldn’t get the role, then knowing how Director Chen Wenhua was… she dared say no one else in the entire entertainment industry would be able to get it.
Su Manman was so confident with her capabilities.
While Su Manman focused hard on her script, she filtered out everything happening in the outside world. She didn’t know about the storm she had stirred in the entertainment industry because of what she had said in front of the media. She only cared about the script in her hands.
She was not aware that Du Lingyang had quickly reacted when asked about the messages he had sent to Su Manman.
Du Lingyang said apologetically, “When I went to visit Yuqiao on the set of ‘The Olden Days,’ I was preparing a new song for my new album. I saw Su Manman acting alongside Yuqiao and used her character to compose a song. I only wanted to let Su Manman listen to it so she could give me some feedback. After all… the person who understands Fengyi the most must be the actress who played her, Su Manman! But because of this, Yuqiao got into a fight with me and vented her anger on Su Manman! I didn’t make it clear in my text message, but the meal invitation is from Yuqiao and me. We wanted to treat Su Manman to a meal to apologize and ask her to listen to the song.”
The fans had accepted Du Lingyang’s explanation, but the reporters didn’t.
A reporter asked, “But in your message, you only mentioned that you’d be treating her to a meal, not you and Ms. Meng Yuqiao. Your explanation doesn’t match up with the message you sent her.”
Du Lingyang sighed. There was a hint of indulgence on his handsome face. “When I sent the message that day, I was on the set of ‘The Olden Days.’ Yuqiao had just gotten into a conflict with Su Manman and was afraid that Su Manman wouldn’t accept the invitation if I mentioned her. Su Manman’s character has always been one who doesn’t care about anything. Yuqiao was afraid of being rejected, so she didn’t want me to mention her in the message.”
This explanation seemed reasonable, but there was something strange about it.
After all, in the video, Meng Yuqiao had quarreled so badly with Su Manman. How was it possible that she would accept defeat In just less than an hour?
But no matter what, Du Lingyang’s actions had saved him from trouble. After that, Meng Yuqiao turned to a live broadcast with reddened eyes, clarifying that she couldn’t stand someone imitating Jiang Mingzhu because not only that Jiang Mingzhu was her good friend, she was also her role model. Therefore, after that post was released, she encouraged the fans to question Su Manman…
She didn’t intend to suppress the newbies. TShe had asked Du Lingyang to invite Su Manman out because she wanted to apologize and explain that she hadn’t written that post!
In her live broadcast, she had said that she knew the person who wrote the post, but… because she was also a fan of Jiang Mingzhu, she couldn’t reveal the person’s identity. She had only started to observe Su Manman carefully after this person told her Su Manman had been imitating Jiang Mingzhu. She then began to feel unfriendly towards her.
However, after seeing Su Manman’s reaction and hearing her words in front of the reporters and to Du Lingyang, she was certain that a smart and tough lady like Su Manman wouldn’t imitate others.
Now that Su Manman was unwilling to see her, she could only apologize to her from afar.
Everyone thought things would come to an end after that. However, there was a hidden meaning in Meng Yuqiao’s words, which made people interested in the person who wrote the post.
A few people had started analyzing the people around Su Manman…
Very quickly, their attention shifted to Yang Weiyi.
Yang Weiyi used to be Jiang Mingzhu’s personal makeup artist. Hence, she must also know about Jiang Mingzhu’s habits!
Moreover, Yang Weiyi was also present when Su Manman went to Japan to film “The Battle of the House of Horrors.”
Seeing this piece of news, Yang Weiyi felt uneasy and appeared distracted while accompanying his mother at the hospital.
“Yiyi… if you’re busy, you don’t have to accompany Mom!” Yang Weiyi’s mother held her daughter’s hand tightly. “If you’re worried that Mom will be bored, why don’t you just let me go home?”
Again…
She didn’t know how many times her mother had mentioned going home to her.
She knew it was because her mother doesn’t want her to spend her money on her!
“Mother… I’ve already told you that I’m working as someone else’s personal makeup artist now. My salary is especially high, so don’t worry about the hospital fees. It’s really not a problem at all. Rest assured and just stay in the hospital, okay?” Yang Weiyi said gently to her mother.
Yang Weiyi’s mother pursed her lips, looking at Yang Weiyi with reddened eyes. “But you have to save up that money. I’ve lived long enough, so it doesn’t matter if I treat this illness or not. On the other hand, you still have a long road ahead of you… What if you want to get married in the future? And have children… Everything requires money. I can’t help you with it, but I also don’t want to become a burden to you!”
“Mom!” Yang Weiyi raised her voice and said, “Why are you saying this? Since when is money more important than my mother? Money can always be earned… I can spend it and earn it back. But you are my only mother. If anything happens to you, I’ll no longer have a mother! Who else in this world dotes on me other than you? Have you thought about it? So, Mom, please… just cooperate with the doctors and do the treatment. That’s the only way you’d get out of the hospital soon! I long to eat the handmade noodles you made for me!”
The mother-and-daughter duo’s tears fell at this heartfelt conversation.
Yang Weiyi’s mother wiped away the tears on her daughter’s face…
Her daughter had worked so hard to pay for her medical treatment. She couldn’t say anything that would hurt her daughter’s heart.
Therefore, Yang Weiyi’s mother nodded and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. She smiled and said, “Okay! I’ll listen to you… Mom will cooperate well with the doctors!”
After placating his mother, Yang Weiyi came out to get some hot water. When she walked to the hospital’s pantry, she overheard two patients’ families discussing Su Manman.
“If it were me… I definitely would fire this makeup artist! I pay her salary, yet instead of working hard on putting my makeup properly, she focused on my habits and accused me of imitating her deceased ex-employer. What am I spending money for? To make myself unhappy? There are so many other good makeup artists! Why should I keep such a person by my side and constantly be wary of her stabbing me in the back!”
