Bailing crossed her arms over her chest, leaned back, and crossed her legs. "I heard there's a big shot behind this woman. It's become some kind of glorious thing for her to rely on a man when she has no real talent."
Shuiling didn't bother to hide the sarcasm in her eyes when she talked about Linda. After saying that, she still felt it wasn't enough to vent her anger, so she continued to sneer, "She really has no idea of her own worth. She actually thinks she's a big star. Her words are so annoying. I really don't know how this fly managed to become popular."
This made Meng Nianchu burst into giggles.
Seeing her laugh, Bailing couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly. "You should be more careful with this woman. It's obvious she doesn't like you. She even dared to provoke you openly on the set. God knows what else she might do."
"I know."
Although Bailing was only a few years older than Meng Nianchu, she always talked like an old soul. The unpleasantness from the earlier quarrel with Linda outside vanished. Meng Nianchu's eyes curved into crescent moons.
Bailing then asked, "I've been so busy with work recently that I haven't had time to visit you, let alone see my godson. Are they all okay?"
"Everything's fine. They just miss their godmother."
Hearing this, Bailing burst into laughter.
Just then, Linda, who was passing by outside, heard the laughter coming from the recording studio. Her eyes instantly filled with coldness.
What's so funny!
Bailing stopped laughing and said, "I see the Weibo is going crazy about how good and doting Mu Junze is to you. I'm so jealous."
"You don't know how annoying Mr. Ju is. It's been three days since he went to the US, and he hasn't said a single word to me! I really... I don't know what to say about this man."
The more she talked, the stiffer her expression became. There was no trace of a smile on her face, only full of complaints.
Meng Nianchu couldn't help but laugh at her. Who would have thought that the famous diva could be so childish?
Just as she was about to offer some words of comfort, perhaps Bailing really couldn't hold it in anymore. She parted her red lips, and with an indignant look, she continued to scold, "I really don't know what this man is thinking. He was so enthusiastic with me before he went to the US, but after he got there, there's been no news at all!"
"Fortunately, I have work to keep me sane. I'm so annoyed."
Bailing angrily tugged at her hair twice.
Meng Nianchu tried hard to hold back her laughter.
Suddenly.
Bailing's phone in her pocket dinged. Reluctantly, she took it out. Her expression froze for a moment, and then she jumped up. Surprise filled her eyes:
"Mr. Ju is actually contacting me!"
Meng Nianchu watched quietly.
Bailing, full of joy and caution, clicked on the voice message sent by Ju Zisheng.
His clear and gentle voice rang out in the recording studio.
"I'll be in the US this afternoon. I'm not sure if I'll have time to meet."
"Yes, I do." When she heard Ju Zisheng's voice, Bailing was as excited as a young girl in love. The cold and unapproachable look on the screen was completely gone.
She pretended to be shocked and sent back a voice message. Holding her phone tightly, she was so happy that she was about to jump.
Not long after, Ju Zisheng sent the meeting place. Bailing hugged Meng Nianchu and gave her a big kiss.
It scared Meng Nianchu.
"Nianchu, come with me this afternoon!" Bailing suddenly said.
Meng Nianchu forced a smile. "No, thanks. It would be so awkward for me to be there when you two are on a date."
Bailing stared into Meng Nianchu's eyes. Her star - like eyes blinked, and she drawled, acting coquettishly. "Otherwise, it would be so boring for just the two of us after not seeing each other for so long. You know him too. Please help me out a bit."
"So I have a mission if I go?"
"You're the best."
A beautiful woman was squatting in front of her, speaking in a soft and coquettish voice. How could Meng Nianchu refuse such tenderness? She smiled helplessly and nodded, having no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, Meng Nianchu didn't have many scenes, so she could leave the set for a while. After explaining the situation to the director, she and Bailing rushed to the meeting place.
Linda, still sitting in the rest area, watched their happy backs leaving and snorted disdainfully.
Disgusting.
Not long after Meng Nianchu and Bailing left the set, a high - profile luxury car suddenly appeared at the set gate. Then, Mu Junze, with a tall and straight figure and a handsome face, got out of the car slowly, holding a child in his arms.
Everyone on the set was attracted by him. Their eyes followed his every move.
When the director saw Mu Junze, he quickly greeted him. "Mr. Mu, are you here to find Miss Meng? Unfortunately, Miss Meng just left with Miss Bailing. She's not here now. Why don't you go to the lounge and wait for a while? I'll have someone make you some tea right away."
As he said this, he was already leading Mu Junze towards the lounge. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Xiao Liu, quickly make the best tea!"
"You can wait here for a while. Let me know if you need anything."
The director greeted Mu Junze into the lounge with a flattering smile and watched him sit down on the chair.
Mu Junze replied indifferently with a cold grunt.
Xiao Liu, who was called by the director to make tea, rushed into the room with a steaming pot of tea. "Mr. Mu, please enjoy your tea."
Then he quickly left the lounge. The director didn't say anything else and obediently closed the door.
After doing all this, the two men stood at the door and shivered.
Xiao Liu said, "They say on the Internet that Mu Junze has a strong aura and is very imposing. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. He didn't even say a word. Just sitting there made my back break out in cold sweat."
"You're right."
The director grimaced and walked towards the shooting area. "He's really a big shot. Keep an ear out for any news from inside. If he says he needs something done, do it right away. Don't offend him."
"I know."
The two of them walked away one after another. Linda, who had just come out of the dressing room and heard their conversation, curled the corners of her mouth slightly. Her gaze turned to the closed lounge, and the light in her eyes softened.
I didn't expect to see him again so soon.
Seeing that there was no one around, Linda scanned the area, then quickly walked to the lounge door and gently pushed it open.
Hearing the sound, Mu Junze looked over. Seeing a strange woman come in, he frowned slightly, clearly annoyed.
Linda's smile widened. She closed the door and, with her little hands behind her back, approached Mu Junze coyly. "It's been a long time, Mr. Mu."
"I don't know you." Mu Junze replied coldly and then said, "Get out."
Linda kept approaching. "It doesn't matter if Mr. Mu doesn't know me. I've always heard of your great name and admire you very much. I'm so happy to meet you in person today."
