Little Miss Witch: Revenge of the Tainted Angel

"Lan Jinyao! Lin Meirong! What are you waiting for? Come here quickly!" The director chided the two actresses who refused to listen to his command. 

Lan Jinyao went to them without waiting for Lin Meirong and greeted Zheng Yue who was sitting next to Li Xiuying before shifting her gaze to her benefactor. She couldn't read Li Xiuying's reaction seeing Lin Meirong this close. 

The wife, meeting the mistress face to face for the first time. It was quite a scene in Lan Jinyao's opinion. Their eyes met, seemingly gauging each other before Lin Meirong lowered her gaze, refusing to look in Li Xiuying's direction. 

Li Xiuying turned away from her husband's lover and nodded at Lan Jinyao in return. She gave everyone a cold treatment especially Lin Meirong when the latter introduced herself. 

Zheng Yue held her niece's hand and looked at her worriedly. Li Xiuying was pregnant and yet she had to work hard to clean the mess her husband started in the company. It pained her seeing her beloved niece sad like this. This wasn't the Ying she knew. 

Growing up, Li Xiuying was a gentle and happy child. She could make a person feel warm to the point that even Li Yuren couldn't resist her charm as a child. Before Zheng Yue gave birth to her son, it was the twins whom she looked after and raised as her own. Both children had a special place in her heart.

"Ying, if you are tired. You don't need to travel this far," she told her niece. The set was two hours away from the capital and she didn't want Li Xiuying to be stuck in a traffic jam with her delicate condition. 

"You worry too much, Auntie. I'll be fine. There's nothing to be worried about." 

Li Xiuying didn't leave the set even after the crew resumed their filming. The crew nervously continued working, not wanting to make a mistake while Li Xiuying was watching. 

Meanwhile, Lin Meirong was boiling inside as she caught on to the murmurs around her. They were not only pointing out the similarities of her dress to Li Xiuying's dress but they also started degrading her after someone mentioned that the piece Li Xiuying was wearing came from the rare collection Flair Apparel released ten years ago. 

Why was Li Xiuying dressed like she was? Was it merely a coincidence? What was she trying to prove? 

Compared to what she was wearing, Li Xiuying's dress was worth half a million yuan, a price that Lin Meirong could never afford. She tried her best to ignore the frustrating conversation around her and maintain a neutral expression but failed. 

Lan Jinyao saw her expression turned dark. Lin Meirong looked unhappy and embarrassed at the same time. She was reminded once again that standing beside Li Xiuying, her beauty and status were nothing. 

She clenched her fist on her side and looked away. Why? Why did everything she wanted to have in life are in Li Xiuying's hands? 

The next scene was for Lin Merong to shoot a scene with the male lead professing her unrequited love for him but then Lan Jinyao's character will overhear the confession and will confront Lin Meirong's character. 

Lan Jinyao had found herself trying to suppress her amusement over Lin Meirong's predicament. Could Lin Meirong act when it's clear that Li Xiuying intends to watch her act? Oh, did she mention that she would need to slap Lin Meirong's face later before the scene ends? 

"Today's scene is an exciting one. This is one of the highlights of the film and I hope Miss Li will find it satisfying." The producer said, watching Li Xiuying's face intently for any signs of displeasure. "Miss Lin's acting skill is excellent. Most of the scenes she had, we only need to shoot in one take." He gloated but there was no change in Li Xiuyin's reaction. 

Song Zexi served her Miss a cup of tea before scoffing inwardly for the producer's foolishness. If he knew what Lin Meirong was to her miss, would he dare to praise that wretched woman in front of Li Xiuying? 

Li Xiuying took a sip from her cup and eyed the producer. 

The man had to hold his breath when her gaze met his. He was reminded of how beautiful she was. If she was an actress, she would have toppled down other popular actresses with her expressive eyes and beautiful face. 

He had heard about the beauty of the Li twins but it was hard to believe that a woman like her truly exists in this world. He didn't usually believe in gossip but Li Xiuying was as beautiful as the rumors suggested. 

She had a beauty that didn't scream glamour and wealth at first look. Instead, people will be mesmerized by her innocent and ethereal beauty, one that could make a man feel the need to protect and care for. 

Her eyes were expressive enough to force men to fall on their knees to serve her. 

The producer swallowed the lump in his throat and coughed on his hand. Lady Li was a married woman. He shouldn't have such thoughts on her. 

"Is that so?" Li Xiuying's voice sounded so cold and distant that Zheng Yue would mistake her as Li Chuntao if she didn't know who was sitting beside her. Unlike her husband, Zheng Yue was constantly fooled and tricked by the identical twins whenever they switched or pretended to be the other. 

"Indeed. Although she was brought here by Director Yao, I can say her acting skill isn't lacking," The producer continued while trying to ignore the shiver that ran through his entirety. 

"Okay! Let's start!" The director stood next to them and clapped his hand to get everyone's attention. "Lights, cameras… the props! You better make sure all of them are in place before we begin! Lin Meirong, get into your position!"
