Little Miss Witch: Revenge of the Tainted Angel

Tears burst from Lin Meirong's eyes as she went back to her dressing room to hide her reddened face. The humiliation Lan Jinyao brought her, she'll never forget! She'll make sure that Lan Jinyao will pay the price for her impertinence.

"Miss Lin, the shoot isn't done yet. The director wants you to come back," Her assistant came to her with a cold compress on her hand, looking at her nervously. 

She was afraid that she'll be treated as an emotional garbage bin by Lin Meirong again. This wasn't the first time the actress had a meltdown due to her frustrations over her scenes. 

This assistant provided by Redux Entertainment had only been with Lin Meirong for a month because none of her previous assistants could tolerate her abusive behavior when she was pissed off. She bit her lower lip and tried to hand the cold compress to the actress. 

"He wants me back? What the hell do they want me to do then?" Lin Meirong asked incredulously. Hasn't Lan Jinyao humiliated her enough in front of Li Xiuying and the rest of the crew? 

She slapped the hand of her assistant, causing the cold compress to fall on the floor.

"I-I don't know, Miss Lin but the director said you must go back so they could film the rest of your scenes…" Her assistant hurriedly picked up what she dropped and trembled in fear. 

Since there was still some pride left in her, there was a hint of hesitation on Lin Meirong's face as she considered her options. Her assistant, watching her closely, chose to leave her alone and ran outside without giving Lin Meirong enough time to react. 

With no other choice , Lin Meirong could only grit her teeth and head back to the set, finding the director busy conversing with Li Xiuying. She took a moment to observe Mu Jianyu's wife from afar. 

Li Xiuying was so beautiful that men around her couldn't help but blush under her gaze without her noticing. Her smile was so charming and natural that one would get tired of seeing it up close. 

'Why… Why is she here? No, is she really Jianyu's wife? How is a woman born that beautiful?' Lin Meirong, who could only assume Li Xiuying's appearance before was bewildered that even a woman as beautiful as her couldn't be comparable for Li Xiuying who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. 

She couldn't help but look to herself and confirm her miserable life and appearance compared to Li Xiuying. Her skin wasn't as smooth and silky as Mu Jianyu's wife. Her hands, which still had some calluses remained no matter how hard she tried to remove, brought shame to her. 

As soon as she started comparing herself to Li Xiuying, she felt ashamed and humiliated at the same time. It would have been okay if it was another woman who wasn't as benevolent and beautiful as Li Xiuying, she could have lifted her head and laughed at the poor pathetic wife that she had outsmarted. 

Anyway, who cares if she couldn't beat Li Xiuying's beauty, she was able to snatch her man with her charm anyway, so the great CEO Li was still below her. 

The director called her name once he saw her. "Miss Lin, oh, it's good that you're back. We're just about to call you to take the scenes again. We found your expression a bit stiff at Lan Jinyao's outburst."

Lin Meirong's lips set in a thin line, her fists clenched on her side as she nodded her understanding to the director. She wanted to get angry, angry that she was allowing herself to be humiliated in front of Li Xiuying, angry that she couldn't deny that Lan Jinyao overshadowed her performance today. 

"Lan Jinyao, you did a great job earlier. This time, try to reenact the same expression you had before." The director told Lan Jinyao before turning his attention to Lin Meirong. "Lin Meirong, this time you have to act properly, don't forget to say your lines!"

She, together with Lan Jinyao and the male lead went back to their previous position for the second time. Lin Meirong slightly trembled while Lan Jinyao was thrilled to be given another chance to hit the devious woman. 

The three reenacted the same scene all over again but when it was Lin Meirong's time to confess her unrequited love to the male lead,she didn't say her lines. In addition, her expression wasn't suitable for a woman in love with her best friend. 

For the first time since their filming started, Lin Meirong had a bad take. 

The filming crew was left flabbergasted and on cue, Song Zexi couldn't help but to make a side comment. 

"Ah, Miss… do you think she forgot her lines? I thought the producer said she's a very capable actress?"

It sounded like an innocent question from her but it was enough to make the producer break into a cold sweat. However, he couldn't really blame Lin Meirong to feel such pressure coming from Li Xiuying as they, who were watching from the sidelines, could feel the tremendous pressure to please Li Xiuying. 

Five seconds later, Lin Meirong stepped back from the male lead and covered her face with both of her hands. She couldn't help but notice that Li Xiuying was watching her intently and this made her feel uneasy. 

"I'm sorry. I forgot my lines. Director, please… let's do it again." Lin Meirong said with a pale face when she overheard the murmur around them. This time, it wasn't Lan Jinyao who brought humiliation to her, she did it herself. 

For the third time, they went back to their positions and waited for the cue to start. Lin Meirong clenched her teeth and forced herself to focus. Did Li Xiuying do this on purpose? She wondered. 

However, before she could come up with a conclusion, Lan Jinyao's hand landed painfully on her face, making her dizzy.. This time, she lost her balance and fell on the ground, shocking not only herself but everyone around her.
