My Evil Cinderella: Taming a Villainous Wife Chapter 119 - Don't get in my way

Shi Enxi was looking so pale when she looked at her reflection on the mirror. She has been feeling nauseous since earlier. She retouched her makeup to hide her pale face before she finally went out of the restroom.

Upon returning to the site, she saw Wang Ansheng and Chen Fanglin, cornering Fan Xiao Yao.

She massaged her temple when she felt a sudden headache after seeing them.

"Are you alright, Mrs. Lu?" Hal Qiang quickly went beside her, looking all so worried.

"I'm fine." Shi Enxi was already getting annoyed.

She walked towards the three and called out, "Fan Xiao Yao."

Wang Ansheng and Chen Fanglin turned to Shi Enxi. Wang Ansheng snickered upon seeing her, "What are you doing here, Shi Enxi?"

Shi Enxi raised a brow, crossing her arms in the process. "Why are you asking a question with an obvious answer? Are you that dumb?"

Wang Ansheng wasn't expecting for Shi Enxi to talkback. Ever since little, Shi Enxi remained quiet whenever she spoke.

Shi Enxi's sharp look was so different than her usual smiling face.

Wang Ansheng gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Shi Enxi sure got brave after marrying someone like Lu Mello.

"Ms. Wang, the audition for the second female lead has started. Your turn will be coming soon." Wang Ansheng's manager said as she approached them.

Second female lead?

After the scandal with Wang Ansheng's father, her popularity became low. Even if Wang Ansheng wanted to take the main female lead's role, it would only lessen her chance of getting it because of the importance the Director was putting in that role. Her best choice was to get the second female lead and show others how hardworking she was since the second female lead's role was trickier. The character endured so many hardships and was constantly framed by others. 

Wang Ansheng turned to Shi Enxi and glared before she walked out, following her manager to another room.

Chen Fanglin chuckled lightly, "I'm here to take the main female lead. Don't get in my way."

Fan Xiao Yao stood and went beside Shi Enxi. She just smiled at Chen Fanglin without saying a thing. 

It was not like she was going to get the role just because she said so. Unless... She paid a huge amount of money just to bribe the Director and others.

If that was the case Fan Xiao Yao wasn't surprised at all, Chen Fanglin was the person who would snatch every major role that Fan Xiao Yao wanted using her money back then.

The only difference from the past was... Fan Xiao Yao wasn't alone this time.

Shi Enxi one told her that as long as she gives a great performance on stage, her talent would surely move other's hearts. 

Chen Fanglin was the first to go on stage to act her part with the child genius Wen Zhou.

Fan Xiao Yao was watching her by the backstage.

Despite using money to get the role, Chen Fanglin's acting skills were great. She could get into the character just within a few minutes.

"Mommy, are you still fighting with daddy?" The cold demeanor from earlier when Wen Zhou arrived was now gone. It was as if he turned to a normal kid.

"What? No way. Your dad is the one fighting with me!" Chen Fanglin acted, crossing her arms.

From the script, she learned that the main female lead was a spoiled girl who grew up from a rich family. After regaining her memories, it was only normal for her to act all spoiled again.

Wen Zhou sighed heavily, he averted his gaze at her. He didn't want to see his parents fighting at all so he displayed an awful look on his face, "You're always fighting with dad..."

Chen Fanglin approached Wen Zhou and smiled a bit, "It's not like I wanted to fight with him... It's a very complicated matter, baby."

Chen Fanglin was following everything that was written in the script, even the emotions that were stated in it. She looked like a real mother but at that moment, Director Yu found something lacking as he continued to watch her act.

Not long, others turn came and the emotions they acted were just the same with what Chen Fanglin did, except that, Chen Fanglin's acting was a bit more motherly than the others.

Fan Xiao Yao's turn came. The Director and the Screenwriter has already a bored look on their faces. They weren't expecting much from her anymore.

Fan Xiao Yao bowed and as soon as she was given the go signal, she went into character.

"Mommy, are you still fighting with daddy?" Wen Zhou's acting we're still on point even after repeating and getting bored of it.

"What? No way..." Fan Xiao Yao trailed off. She looked away and pursed her lips, "Your dad is the one fighting with me..."

Just like others, Wen Zhou watched how different she acted in the scene.

She was giving off a different vibe too. It looked more like she too didn't want to fight with her husband but she didn't have a choice.

"You're always fighting with dad..."

In the script, whenever the child caught his parents fighting, it would always look like the main female lead was starting it when in reality, she was just trying to talk things out with her husband.

Fan Xiao Yao finally turned to Wen Zhou, she approached him like what the others did but then, she picked him up in her arms. "It's not like I wanted to fight with him..." She hugged him close, and by doing that, she was able to hide the pained expression that surfaced on her face from him. "It's a very complicated matter, baby..."

Wen Zhou was surprised, it was different from the script but he knew that after years of acting, not everyone goes by the script. Besides, what she was doing was more appropriate than what was on the script.

He wrapped his arms around her neck, hugging her back. It was as if he could feel how hurt she was from the hug so he ended up comforting her, "I'm always going to be by mommy's side but I really hope mommy can get along well with daddy."

He said the same lines on the script but because he was being led by Fan Xiao Yao's acting, the feelings became different than what he would put earlier.

After the scene ended, Fan Xiao Yao placed Wen Zhou down and smiled.

"Ms. Fan, can you do scene 48 next?" Director Yu asked as if he wanted to confirm something.

This time, the scene didn't have Wen Zhou in it. Aside from that, it showed the main female lead's cunning and devious side, totally the opposite of what she acted.

Shi Enxi watched Fan Xiao Yao do the scene, she knew that she would do just fine since Fan Xiao Yao's interpreting skills were on point.

Fan Xiao Yao must have felt something lacking in the scene she performed earlier so she ended up doing it her way.

Chen Fanglin was busy on her phone that she wasn't able to see the act Fan Xiao Yao did. Fan Xiao Yao didn't hold any importance to her, after all, she was confident that she will end up having the role.

Chen Fangling's manager arrived shortly after, she leaned and whispered, "Ms. Chen, everything is ready."
