Chapter 609: Replaced

Tang Xinrou speechlessly repeated what she had just said, “But I just laid my cards on the table with my family yesterday and told them my determination. Now I definitely won’t be able to accept my aunt’s arrangements. But if that’s the case, where will I find a manager and assistant?”

She cupped her face, full of melancholy.

Song Yaoyao rested her chin on her hand, her fingers tapping on the table bit by bit. Her high-quality jade bangle was translucent as though it contained a clear spring and was lustrous under the light.

Her gaze shifted and landed on Xu Yue.

She pointed lightly. “Ask her.”

“Cough— What?”

Xu Yue almost spat out a mouthful of water. She glanced at Tang Xinrou with disdain and shook her head. “I don’t want to. She’s an idiot. Who knows how troublesome it would be to work with her.”

“Xu Yue, don’t be so calculative with me or I will settle all my grudges with you at once!”

Tang Xinrou glared at her.

At that moment, she heard a calm voice beside her ear.

“That’s just right. You two complement each other.”

Tang Xinrou: “? ? ?”

Their eyes met and Xu Yue curled her lips into a smile. Her pair of phoenix eyes narrowed, becoming sly like a fox.

Who would have thought that she had once acted like a fool?

“That’s true. Since that’s the case, then I’ll reluctantly agree.”

Tang Xinrou rolled her eyes and was speechless. “When did I agree to it?”

Xu Yue smiled. “You know, I usually consider Yaoyao’s suggestions seriously.”

“Consider my *ss!”

Tang Xinrou crossed her arms. “I suspect that you’re targeting me.”

Whenever they met, bickering was guaranteed. Especially since Xu Yue had practically transformed into another person; she was so stupid in the past. But now, she was as shrewd as a fox and was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

“No need to suspect anything. I am indeed targeting you.”

Xu Yue patted her shoulder. “Happy working together, Miss Tang.”

Tang Xinrou angrily shook her hand away.

“I didn’t agree to it!”

“Shh… Quiet.”

Song Yaoyao raised her head and focused on the small television. “The fun is here.”

“What?”

Tang Xinrou and Xu Yue looked up together and saw a familiar face on the television.

“Am I seeing things?”

Xu Yue: “I don’t think so?”

…

Today was the opening shoot for The Doted Concubine. All the main cast members would be present to receive questions from the reporters.

Mu Wei had already finished putting on her makeup. Sitting backstage, her palms were sweating nervously.

Most of the main cast members had already left. As the female lead, she was naturally the finale.

After the introduction of the previous actress, Mu Wei patted her skirt and stood up to walk to the door. Suddenly, a hand appeared and stopped Mu Wei.

“Miss Mu, please wait a moment.”

Mu Wei was stunned. “But I’m about to go on stage…”

“I’m sorry, please wait a moment.”

The staff member guarding the door still had an impeccable smile on his face, but it made Mu Wei feel uneasy. She pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, “What’s the problem—”

Before she could finish her question, she heard the voice of the host coming from the front.

“Next, let’s welcome the female lead of The Doted Concubine, Miss Song Jingwan, to the stage! In this drama, Jingwan will play the female lead, Yao Jin. Oh right, our Jingwan is a newcomer, and this drama will be her first drama. Dear friends, please show mercy and take care of her!”

Jingwan— Song Jingwan!

Mu Wei let out a breath. The arrogant look of Song Jingwan appeared in her mind.

Her words still echoed in her ears: “The position of the female lead, we’ll see if you can keep it, haha.”
