Qiao Jiaxi was wearing exquisite makeup and a designer pink dress. If it wasnât for the thermal container in her hand and the fact that she happened to be in the hospital, people would have thought that she was on a date.
âLin Shanchu?â Qiao Jiaxiâs smile stiffened.
She had been visiting Lu Shiyuan in the hospital for the past few days. It was the first time she had met Lin Shanchu there.
It was the first time the two of them had met since they fell out at Lu Corporation.
Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and looked at Qiao Jiaxi with a faint smile.
âYouâre here to visit Lu Shiyuan.â
After all, Lin Shanchu was still Lu Shiyuanâs fiancée in name. Qiao Jiaxi felt a little guilty. âI happened to be free, so I came over to visit President Lu.â
âGo in quickly.â Lin Shanchu smiled gently and even moved to the side to make way for Qiao Jiaxi.
Qiao Jiaxi looked at Lin Shanchu with a strange expression and walked in hesitantly.
Lin Shanchu walked out and closed the door considerately.
However, she did not immediately close the door and leave. Instead, she left the door ajar and listened to the movements inside.
âPresident Lu, I made you some soupâ¦â
Qiao Jiaxiâs pretentious voice came from inside.
The sound of cutlery colliding could be heard from inside.
Lu Shiyuan must have pushed away the soup that Qiao Jiaxi had handed over to him.
Shortly afterwards, Qiao Jiaxiâs sobbing voice came from inside. âPresident Lu, you have to eat something. Youâve lost a lot of weight. It really breaks my heart to see you like thisâ¦â
Clang!
The loud sound of something falling to the ground rang out.
The next moment, Lu Shiyuan roared angrily, âGet lost!â
Lin Shanchu laughed coldly before she silently closed the door and left.
Qiao Jiaxiâs rank was far lower than Tang Qidaiâs.
A pure and unpretentious persona was not something that could be casually faked.
It was almost time for the finals of âMy Stageâ.
As one of the former participants, it was time to go back and cheer for those sisters who were about to enter the finals.
The next day, Lin Shanchu joined the crew of âTop Feastâ.
âTop Feastâ was a popular drama now. The audience urged for updates on its official Weibo account every day, and the discussions on related topics remained trending.
Therefore, the crew was very strict with confidentiality.
After Lin Shanchu joined the crew, she first handed in her phone and then received the script.
She flipped open the script and realized that there were only scenes related to her character.
Lin Shanchu had mixed feelings.
One of the reasons why she wanted to film âTop Feastâ was to know the plot in advance.
She was not told that the crew would keep it a secret to this extent before she came here.
The producer was also at the scene today.
He walked around and came to Lin Shanchu. âHave you read the script?â Lin Shanchu nodded.
âJust ask them if you have any questions.â The producer added, âThere are many seniors from Xu City Drama Academy in the crew.â
âAlright.â Lin Shanchu smiled, looking very obedient.
The producer had come to find Lin Shanchu because of his friendship with Nan Mu and partly because he was curious about Lin Shanchu.
She was much more beautiful in person than on camera.
It was just that she was a little quieter than he had imaginedâ¦
âTop Feastâ could be considered an ensemble cast, and many actors were waiting at the side for their scenes.
Lin Shanchu had been caught up in all kinds of trouble recently. The netizens were constantly controversial about her, and the other actors in the industry were more or less curious about her.
They huddled together and whispered something as they calmly looked at Lin Shanchu.

âLin Shanchu! Mu Sula is a new character. Your scenes are very important. Good luck!â
The director immediately told her to act without even asking her how she understood the persona and the script.
Lin Shanchu understood that the director wanted to test her ability.
The role Lin Shanchu had accepted was called Mu Sula.
She was an important character that would appear in âTop Feastâ this week. Before this, her name was only heard from the mouths of other characters who had appeared in the plot.
Mu Sula was the fiancée of the second grandson of the protagonistâs Zhu family in the drama. She was arrogant and despotic because of her familyâs power and influence. She was truly a plutocratic villainess.
In this scene, Mu Sula returned from abroad. The Zhu family held a grand banquet in the luxurious manor to welcome her.
Mu Sulaâs notoriety was so widespread that all the servants in the manor were all cautious, fearing that they would offend her.
Only the illegitimate daughter, who was favored by the old man, knew nothing about Mu Sula. The other grandchildren of the old man were trying to use Mu Sula to intimidate the illegitimate daughter.
In the first scene, Mu Sula got out of the luxurious car and the members of the Zhu family welcomed her accompanied by their servants.
âSula, itâs been a long journey.â
Mu Sula gave a short laugh. âItâs a little tiring, but Grandpa Zhu has specially organized a banquet to welcome me. I canât miss it.â
She didnât even take off her sunglasses, and her voice was filled with impatience. The image of a condescending, plutocratic villainess was immediately apparent.
She was so arrogant that one could not wait to slap her.
The Zhu family members instantly forced their smiles.
Apart from the patriarch, Elder Zhu, in the Zhu family, Mu Sula never take anyone else seriously, including her fiancé.
âWhere is Grandpa Zhu?â Mu Sula strode inside as naturally as if she was returning home.
Elder Zhu was supported by his illegitimate daughter as he walked over. âSula!â
âGrandpa Zhu, long time no see. I miss you so much.â Mu Sula gave Grandpa
Zhu a hug.
Then, she noticed the illegitimate daughter beside Elder Zhu.
The illegitimate daughter was wearing a dress that was identical to hers.
Mu Sula took off her sunglasses and narrowed her eyes to size up the illegitimate daughter. âGrandpa Zhu, is this the servant whom you hired?â
Elder Zhu understood Mu Sullaâs personality and immediately scolded his illegitimate daughter in a low voice, âGo change your clothes. â
âDaddy, Iâm just wearing the same outfit as hers. Why do you want me to change my clothesâ¦â The illegitimate daughter was used to being pampered by Elder Zhu, so she definitely would not agree to change her clothes.
Not far away, there were servants decorating the banquet venue and cutting flowers.
âGive me the scissors.â Mu Sula stared intently at the illegitimate daughter.
The servantâs expression changed drastically. Then, she hurriedly took the scissors and handed them to Musula.
Since it was a rehearsal now, so it was impossible to hand the real scissors to Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu used her own hands to make a scissors gesture, grabbed the illegitimate daughterâs clothes, and started cutting her clothes with a fierce
gaze.
At first, the actress who played the illegitimate daughter almost laughed, but she cried before she could laugh.
Lin Shanchu got into character. Her gaze was fierce, but her actions were even more ruthless, as if she was really holding a pair of scissors.
The illegitimate daughter cried and trembled with fright, but she still recited her lines professionally. âDaddy, save me. Boo-hooâ¦â
The other actors were also shocked by Lin Shanchuâs sudden change and strong conviction, but they quickly got into character and began to gloat according to the plot.
The director was also a little surprised.
The director came to his senses and realized that the scene was over only when the assistant director reminded him..
