The Whole World Wants Them to Get a Divorce - Chapter 24.1

The person knocking on the door was her assistant, Xia Xia.

“Why are you dressed like that?” Xia Xia looked at her. Her bottom half was a dress, but her top half was a completely covered shirt. It felt mismatched. She asked innocently, “Are you cold?”

Si Yu gestured for her to come in. She closed the door and took off the shirt, revealing the sexy, full-length spaghetti-strap nightgown she was wearing underneath.

It was for covering up. Xia Xia understood.

“Does it look good?”

“It does!” Xia Xia thought she was asking about the dress. She touched the fabric with her hand. Her eyes lit up as she said, “Is this from Brand C? It must be expensive, right?”

“Just a few thousand,” Si Yu said casually. She spun around and asked again, “Do I look good?”

Si Yu was very skinny, but she wasn’t the kind of skinny that was skin and bones. She had all the right curves. Her bone structure was symmetrical, and her proportions were perfect.

Even Xia Xia, a woman, felt her heart flutter when she saw her body. She swallowed and said with an envious look, “You look amazing! You’re the most beautiful female celebrity I’ve ever seen! And your body is incredible!”

The praised Si Yu didn’t seem happy at all. Her expression was sullen. “Is that so?”

“Yes! I’m not lying. You need to be more confident in yourself.”

Si Yu used to be very confident, but she had been hit with a blow to her ego just now. She didn’t dare to be narcissistic. She looked troubled. “But someone said I’m unwatchable like this.”

Xia Xia was a little confused. “Who said you were unwatchable? If someone as beautiful as you is unwatchable, then who is watchable? That person must be blind.”

Si Yu quickly covered her mouth. “Stop talking. If you keep talking, I’m afraid you’ll get fired,” she said seriously.

Xia Xia: “???”

A few minutes ago, Si Yu said she was going to end the video call, but Lu Xi stopped her and told her to put on a shirt before she opened the door.

Si Yu narcissistically thought that Lu Xi was worried that someone else would see her in her sexy outfit. She was secretly happy. She puffed out her chest and said in a sweet voice, “Doesn’t this look good? Why do I need to put on a shirt?”

Lu Xi’s expression changed. She turned her head away and threw out three blunt words: “You’re unwatchable.”

What?!

Her body, which she was so proud of, was called “unwatchable.” Si Yu was immediately unhappy. She put one hand on her hip and deliberately went against her. “Hmph, I like wearing this. It’s none of your business!”

Lu Xi’s eyes darkened slightly. She said, “Suit yourself,” and hung up the video call without a word.

Si Yu fumed.

Being breathtakingly beautiful doesn’t mean you can be so arrogant. “I’m never video-chatting with this cold, heartless, and cruel woman ever again!” Si Yu swore to herself.

Because of her excellent performance yesterday, the people who had previously doubted Si Yu’s acting skills changed their attitudes. More and more people came over to talk to her.

The girls who were playing sisters with Si Yu in the show saw that she wasn’t putting on airs. They gradually relaxed and became more and more uninhibited in their conversation.

One girl asked directly, “Someone said you got into Guangying through connections. Is that true?”

“What do you think?” Si Yu didn’t answer and threw the question back at her.

The girl thought about it. Si Yu was beautiful and a good actress. “I don’t think it’s true,” she said.

Si Yu just smiled and didn’t explain.

The sun was high in the sky. It was the hottest and most unbearable time of the day. It was lunchtime, and they had an hour to rest.

More and more people were willing to talk to Si Yu now that they had dropped their prejudice against her. Liang Yufei saw this and thought with a twisted mind, She’s clearly an evil villainess, but she’s acting like a good person and fooling everyone!

Liang Yufei was both angry and anxious as she watched Si Yu get more and more comfortable with the rest of the cast.

How can I let these people know Si Yu’s true colors and make them hate her again?

If she went around telling them, they definitely wouldn’t believe her. They would probably think she was gossiping.

It has to be effective and untraceable. I need to come up with a plan.

Liang Yufei returned from the bathroom. She was thirsty from being in the sun but couldn’t find her assistant.

A staff member next to her pointed. “She’s over there,” they said.

Liang Yufei looked and saw a group of people standing in the shade of a tree. Her assistant was happily chatting with Si Yu. She was immediately filled with rage.

Xiao Yan turned her head and saw her. She quickly ran back and used a small fan to cool her down.

Liang Yufei tried to suppress her anger. “What were you doing over there?” she asked her.

“Chatting with them,” Xiao Yan said with a shy smile. “This batch of trainees from Guangying is really good-looking. A few of them are super handsome. I heard they’re going to be on a competition show soon. Only the ones who get the center spot can debut. While they’re not famous yet, I’m going to ask for their autographs and a picture.”

Liang Yufei was not interested in handsome guys. “It seems like you and Si Yu were having a great time,” she said sourly.

Xiao Yan smiled. “Yeah. I saw her at the welcome dinner and she didn’t talk much. I thought she was a little cold, but I didn’t expect her to be so easy to talk to… Why do you look so bad? Did you get heatstroke?” she asked.

Liang Yufei was so angry that her assistant was helping the enemy and talking good about her, but she had to pretend to be generous and forgiving. She put on a fake smile. “I’m fine. I’m just a little hot.”

“Let’s go over there. It’s cooler under the tree.” Xiao Yan pointed to where she had just come from.

Si Yu was also over there.

Liang Yufei hesitated for a moment. “Okay,” she said.

With the original female lead’s perfect persona of being “sweet, charming, and loved by everyone,” everyone smiled and greeted Liang Yufei when she walked over. They enthusiastically started talking to her. Even the trainees who were closest to Si Yu gathered around her.

Liang Yufei felt a sense of vengeful satisfaction as she watched Si Yu being “left out” on the side.

A villainess is just a villainess. She’s just cannon fodder. How can she compare to me, the female lead, when it comes to popularity?

It’s a delusion!

Si Yu didn’t care about the little schemes going on in Liang Yufei’s mind. She yawned and asked Xia Xia, “How much time do we have left?”

Xia Xia said, “Twenty more minutes. Do you want to take a nap?”

Si Yu waved her hand. Her gaze swept over the area. She saw the director standing next to the camera smoking with the cinematographer. She walked over to them in the hot sun.

The character Chen Shuang was very complex. People both loved and hated her. In high school, she was a school bully who picked on her classmates (mostly the female lead, Yu Su), got into fights, and was a bad student.

Because of her family situation, Chen Shuang couldn’t go to college and started working at a bar. She went from being a waitress to a bar owner. She basically turned her life around, but she wasn’t honest in her business. She got caught selling fake alcohol, and her bar was almost shut down.

Looking back at Chen Shuang’s first thirty years, her life was full of mistakes. But in the end, she mended her ways.

She became an undercover agent for the police and helped them catch a major drug lord.

Because of this, she lost one of her eyes.
