A gloomy light flashed in Xiao Jinning's eyes after hearing Yao Na's words. Why has everything gone wrong since that b*stard appeared in his life?!

He walked to the set door. However, when he reached the door, he heard the director shout, "Xiao Jinning, come and get ready for your scene."

Xiao Jinning clenched her teeth but had to go back to work.

Although he had a strong background, this director was very famous, very good at directing and also had a very strong background. While one did not know who was behind him, no one in the entertainment industry dared to mess with him, and even his mother had to respect him. He had been happy for a long time after winning this role, so he would not bother him no matter how angry he was.

Xiao Jinning returned, asked the dressing table to fix her makeup and started recording.

The director was reading the script with his head lowered. When Xiao Jinning had touched her makeup, she raised her head and exclaimed, "Please action!"

With that, he handed his script to the assistant director and went aside to smoke.

A touch of hatred flashed in Xiao Jinning's eyes when she saw the director so coldly at her. He had made a mistake and had to take another one, but he did not even turn around to look at it.

It was then that He Wanyi, who had just conducted an interview, walked in. Seeing the smoking director at the side, he smiled and walked over to him, saying, "Oh, Director Ning, why are you here smoking instead of watching the tape?"

Although Ning Yan was thirty-five years old, he exercised frequently and thus looked like he was only about 20 years old. She has a perfect figure, and a relaxed and elegant demeanor, so many girls consider her as their idol — even many female stars are crazy about her. However, she has a peculiarity, which is that the actors and actresses involved in her work must have excellent acting skills. Surprisingly, however, a director like this was usually grumpy, but Ning Yan had an excellent temperament. Even if she was dissatisfied with an actress, she would not say anything bad about her, but simply refused to let her act in her work. She rarely directs actresses to act on set because these actresses all have excellent acting skills, except…

In He Wanyi's words, it was a genius peculiarity.

Ning Yan glared at her and complained, "Do you think every actress' acting ability is as good as yours? I almost fell asleep watching the girl act, so I'd rather smoke and freshen up."

He Wanyi turned to look at Xiao Jinning, who was acting in an embarrassing manner despite being famous for her acting skills, and smiled, "Why did you choose her as the female lead?"

"I chose it?" Ning Yan snorted. "A friend of Liu Chengyu urged me to accept it. If anyone puts this woman in my TV drama again, I will definitely cut her scenes and make her look like a little performer!"

He Wanyi laughed, "Who dares to do this? I remember you never gave up on anyone."

Although people said Ning Yan had a good temper, they did not know his true character, only those familiar with him knew that he would not be angry at someone who made him unhappy, because he would feel disgusted at that person and waste his energy and time to anger—he wouldn't even bother looking at him. Unless she is asked by people she is on good terms with, she will never accept an actor or actress whom she is not satisfied with her acting in her works.

Ning Yan snorted, "Who else! Your playboy brother!"

Er ... Liu Chengyu was a friend of his elder brother, but he did not think their relationship was good enough for his elder brother to do such a favor to Liu Chengyu, either, moreover, the fact that it would take a lot of effort to convince her Ning Yan!

He Wanyi and He Wanning actually came from a wealthy family. He Wanyi was the Miss of the Hexing Group, while his elder brother was its president, and the He Family was one of the top four families. However, He Wanning and He Wanyi usually kept a low profile. People knew they were from rich families, but no one knew they were actually from the He Family.

The Ning Family was also one of the top four families. The top four families maintain close relationships with each other. Since there was a lot of business cooperation between them, they often met. Growing up together, the younger generation of the four families had good relationships, but they mostly took care of themselves and rarely communicated with the younger generation from other families.

Therefore, they did not know about Liu Chengyu. Although Liu Chengyu tried his best to establish good relations with the top four families, he barely met their members. Other than He Wanzhou, who frequently appeared in financial newspapers, and Qiao Liang, people did not know much about the top four families, but only knew that their leader was an outstanding figure.

Although He Wanzhou is firmly in business, he is a playboy who changes girlfriends almost every day. In addition, his family owns an entertainment company: Qingcheng Entertainment. The actresses of this company almost all have a love affair with her older brother, including even He Wanyi. He had dinner with He Wanzhou and the paparazzi took pictures of the scene.

When he saw the news at that time, his first reaction was, "Geez, people will find out that I am from the He Family," and then he was surprised to find that the reporters said she was He Wanzhou's gossip girl. It never occurred to him that City A paparazzi were so full of imagination. There was only one character difference between her name and her older brother's name, yet the reporters still thought she was her older brother's gossip girl ...

“I really pity you.” He Wanyi showed his sympathy to her.

Seeing the arrogant smile on his face, Ning Yan snorted, "The woman will probably fight with you. How do you bother him?"

He Wanyi raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by bothering him? Am I the type of person who would provoke him for no reason? He pisses me off, okay?"

Ning Yan snorted, "I guess not. I saw him storm out as if he was going to tear you to shreds, but you said you didn't provoke him?"

"You're really wrong with me!" He Wanyi raised his hand and glanced at Xiao Jinning who was acting. "I had just told her the truth before, but she was too fragile to bear it."

Seeing He Wanyi's provocative gaze, Xiao Jinning was distracted in the middle of filming, forgot her dialogue and had to do one more take.

Ning Yan frowned. "** * *! He's wasting my movie again! I'll ask your brother for damages!"

Ning Yan works for Qingcheng Entertainment.

"As far as you. Let's see if she dares to force you to accept such an actress again!" He Wanyi wondered with a smile, "Is Liu Chengyu blind? Why would he fall in love with a woman like that?"

"I think he must be blind," Ning Yan said, "Now I know why I got along so well with the Xiao brothers."

Because of the Yang Family, they had a good relationship with the Xiao brothers.

Xiao Yao's face appeared in He Wanyi's mind and he couldn't help but smile as he asked, "Why?"

"Because we all don't like that woman!" Said Ning Yan while snorting. "Damn. They were all from the Xiao Family, but why were they so different ?!"
