Master's Little Girl Has Grown Up

Seeing Chu Xi suddenly appear, Shen Ruyu was slightly startled, but she recovered in the blink of an eye. Qianmei was looking at her, and the two of them smiled and nodded.    

"Hello, Director Wen." Chu Xi knew Wen Xu, so she greeted him first, then looked at Shen Ruyu and said indifferently, "Miss Shen, hello."    

Shen Ruyu said softly, "Xi, long time no see."    

Chu Xi smiled and didn't say anything else.    

Wen Xu and Qianmei were chatting about the progress of the filming, but they didn't notice the strange atmosphere between the two of them.    

"Do you want to go to my car and sit down?" Shen Ruyu suddenly asked.    

Chu Xi said lightly, "No need."    

Wen Xu said, "It's a bit cold outside. Let's go to the room and talk."    

Qianmei said, "Alright. It's a bit cold outside."    

Chu Xi said, "You guys go. This is the first time I'm here at this filming base, so I want to walk around."    

"You really aren't afraid of the cold." Qianmei said, "Then go ahead. Come in when it's cold."    

"Okay."    

Chu Xi turned and walked away.    

Looking at her back, Shen Ruyu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn't follow.    

Qianmei then noticed that Shen Ruyu was acting strange. She actually stared at Chu Xi's back for a long time, until Wen Xu called her for the third time. Only then did she come back to her senses and entered the lounge with the two of them.    

"Hey, what are you doing? Why haven't I seen you before?" A woman saw Chu Xi wandering around alone and asked.    

Chu Xi looked at her and said indifferently, "A staff member."    

"Staff member?" The woman obviously didn't believe it. This woman was much more beautiful than the female lead. She was definitely the center of attention in the crowd. If she was a staff member, why didn't she notice it before?    

"I don't think you look like one. You aren't a new member, right? What role are you acting in?"    

With such a beauty, no matter what role she acted in, it would be easy for the audience to remember her. A trace of jealousy flashed across the woman's eyes.    

Chu Xi said, "I'm not an actor, nor am I a staff member in the crew. I'm a staff member of the investor."    

The woman looked at her suspiciously, as if she still didn't believe it.    

"Forget it, no matter who you are, I will warn you. This crew is not suitable for you. You'd better not have any ideas."    

The woman played the second female lead in the series, but her beauty surpassed the female lead. The company had already thought of a marketing strategy. When the series was broadcasted, they would let her overshadow the female lead.    

If such a woman suddenly appeared, wouldn't that be a blow to her limelight?    

"Who are you?" Chu Xi suddenly asked.    

She didn't pay much attention to the film industry. Other than a few first-rate actors, she didn't pay much attention to others.    

Hearing that, the woman's expression immediately changed. She asked coldly, "What do you mean? Are you mocking me on purpose? I've acted in so many shows. Don't you know who I am?"    

The woman had indeed acted in many shows, but she hadn't acted as the female lead until now. She had been lingering around the third and fourth female leads, but she was somewhat famous.    

Chu Xi replied, "I didn't mean that. I don't really pay attention to the film industry."    

"Humph! Who would believe that a person who dabbles in the film industry would not pay attention to the film industry? Who do you think you are? Are you a spy sent by some other crew?"    

Chu Xi was too lazy to argue with her. She turned around and walked away.    

"Stop right there! Don't even think about leaving if you don't explain yourself!" The woman stepped forward and stopped Chu Xi.    

Chu Xi was so angry that she laughed. "Alright, let's see if you can stop me."    

"Do you think you can stop me?" The woman looked to the side and ordered, "Men!"    

"What's going on?"    

Shen Ruyu suddenly walked over.    

The woman's expression immediately changed. She acted like a lackey. "Teacher Shen, hello. I found a suspicious person and was about to call someone to capture her."    

"Who is the suspicious person?" Shen Ruyu asked coldly.    

Seeing this, the woman suddenly felt guilty. She looked at Chu Xi and said in a low voice, "This woman!"    

"Are you blind or do you have no brains? She is the investor. You don't want to stay in the crew anymore!"    

The woman panicked. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Teacher Shen, don't be angry." She looked at Chu Xi and said, "I'm sorry. You're too young and too beautiful. I thought you were an actress from another crew. I misunderstood you. I'm really sorry."    

Chu Xi pursed her lips and did not say a word. She turned around and walked in another direction.    

Shen Ruyu followed behind her. In a place where no one was around, she suddenly said, "Xi Er, I'm sorry."    

Chu Xi suddenly stopped in her tracks. After a moment of silence, she said, "Are you finally willing to admit it?"    

"I don't want to admit it... I... am too ashamed to face you. Xi Er, I'm really sorry."    

"There's no need to say sorry. Everyone has their own choice. Since you have already made your choice, don't regret it. What's the point?"    

"I know you hate me."    

"No, I don't hate you. You are just a stranger to me."    

Hatred would only come from feelings. Chu Xi said this to tell Shen Ruyu that she did not have any feelings for her at all, even if she hated her.    

Shen Ruyu stood there in a daze, her heart tightening inch by inch, as if she was suffocating and unable to speak.
