Chapter 268: Idiotic Miss Gu

The worker thanked her profusely before he left.

Gu Lin glared at Xia Ling. “Are you deliberately trying to go against me?!”

“I’m not as senseless as you.” Xia Ling replied. “Is cutting the pay of someone who needs to feed his family amusing?”

What she said was what the workers at the scene were thinking. Even the camera crew and directors could not help but praise her in their hearts. Everyone was working to support themselves. It was difficult as they were not as fortunate as Miss Gu. Thus, they understood what it felt like to only earn a little amount of money after a hard day’s work.

Who could tolerate being taken advantaged of for no reason?

Luckily, although Miss Gu was an idiot, the female celebrity called Ye Xingling was reasonable. She was a young girl and was rising in the industry. The fact that she could understand and sympathize with others was not easy.

“Ye Xingling is not bad.” A cameraman nudged the lighting engineer next to him. “She’s quite kind.”

However, the lighting engineer said, “Is she just putting up a show to win us over as a celebrity?”

The cameraman shook his head. “I’m sure that this is not a show. If Miss Gu weren’t present, I would believe you, but Miss Gu is here! If Ye Xingling were really pretending, she would not have offended someone from a rich and powerful family.”

The lighting engineer still did not believe him entirely.

“Perhaps.” He continued. After thinking about it, he added. “Actually, it doesn’t matter if she is acting. The fact that she is able to think about us subordinates is not easy. After a year of hard work, who will remember us?”

Xia Ling had really gained the favor of those at the scene.

On the other hand, Gu Lin was so furious she almost stomped her foot. She definitely was incompatible with that vixen, as every time she saw her, things would not be in her favor! Gu Lin raised her head and glared at Xia Ling ferociously. “Are you done filming? If you’re done, then get lost! Don’t be an eyesore on our Gu family’s territory!”

Originally, Xia Ling wanted to leave, but after being scolded by her, she did not want to leave immediately. She draped the soft and large blanket over her shoulders and sat on a chair beside the pool, pretending that Gu Lin was the air. “It’s quite cold,” she said to Wei Wei. “Help me pour a glass of hot tea.”

There was hot tea prepared for the shooting scene, so Wei Wei came back very quickly and handed the glass to Xia Ling with both hands.

Xia Ling lifted a hand, took the glass, and casually praised Wei Wei. “When you’re serving tea, you should act like you are serving tea. It’s good that you know you have to serve it with two hands while lowering your head. After I leave Skyart, I will ask Sister Mai Na to introduce you to a famous celebrity for you to wait on. You’re smart and sensible, so I can’t let you lose your job as an assistant.”

Just now when there was a conflict, Gu Lin’s voice was very loud and attracted the attention of many people.

After seeing Ye Xingling sit down beside the pool, their eyes sparkled because they knew there was going to be more drama.

Everyone was focused on what was happening there. After hearing what she said to her assistant, they almost could not hold in their laughter. Wasn’t she abusing a person by ostensibly pointing to someone else? Wei Wei was a sensible, smart, and capable assistant, but what about Gu Lin? Was she stupid, insensible, and not even capable of being an assistant?

Gu Lin understood what she implied and was furious. “Ye Xingling, what do you mean?!”

“Exactly what I said.” When it came to arguments, Xia Ling was not afraid of anyone.

At the side, Sister Mai Na rubbed her forehead, feeling a slight headache coming. Xiao Ling really had a temper. Once she got angry, she would never make a concession. Luckily, she was naturally able to fight with others and would not be at a loss easily, so she did not need any help when it came to bullying others… Otherwise, Sister Mai Na would really be annoyed arguing with people all day.

She wholeheartedly felt that she argued with others for her job, but Xiao Ling…

Xiao Ling seemed to enjoy getting involved in fights naturally!

She guessed correctly. Xia Ling was the type who became more invigorated with every fight. Now, she was brimming with energy as she looked at the Gu family’s idiotic eldest daughter. “If you are unhappy, then bite me!”

As the cameras were closed, she exposed her naturally argumentative personality.

Blood rushed up to her small face, and the way she slanted her head with her sparkling eyes caused others not to be able to look away. Saying such shameless words, she actually seemed cute.

“Ye Xingling, you bitch!” Gu Lin screeched.

No, this is not being bitchy—

At the side, a group of onlooking men was silently cheering inside. At first glance, the girl called Ye Xingling was nothing surprising, and she was just nice to look at after a long time but… Once she revealed that sparkling expression and showed her natural personality, she was really… breathtaking!

Unfortunately, Big Boss Pei Ziheng was not there, and they did not know her status.

Otherwise, Big Boss Pei would definitely say, “Do you know why I still have no regrets spoiling Xiao Ling for her whole life although she was so arrogant and stubborn…”

Some girls were that cute even when they were being unreasonable.

Unfortunately, Gu Lin did not think that Xia Ling was cute at all.

“Bite me! Bite me! Bite me!” Xia Ling provoked endlessly.

“Do you think I wouldn’t dare?!” Gu Lin was boiling with anger and could not help but rebuke her. Of course, she did not really bite her, but Miss Gu was planning to kick her into the water to vent her anger!

“I’ll let you— Ah!”

A loud “splash” was heard. Miss Gu had fallen into the pool.

“Help! Help!” She screamed as she flopped about in the water.

Xia Ling slowly tilted her body back and continued to drink tea. “If you’re so unstable, don’t try to sabotage others.” She said as she criticized Gu Lin. “Your aim isn’t even good, Miss Gu. Please don’t tell me that you have never attended any self-defense classes.”

Many wealthy people would have learned some self-defense under their personal trainers to cope with accidents such as kidnapping. In the past, when Xia Ling was adopted by Pei Ziheng, she also learned a few techniques. She easily saw that Miss Gu did not have any self-defense skills at all. The Gu family was quite prominent, so how could that be?

However, she did not know that Gu Lin was someone who hated work and liked indulging in comfort. She was too lazy to learn about etiquette, so of course, she did not bother to learn self-defense skills.

Gu Lin struggled in the water and screamed for help.

Many people could not bear to look at her. Could Miss Gu be any more embarrassing? At the place where she was standing, the pool of water only reached her waist. Director Qian Yong could not look directly at her. She was really brain-dead.

Although he did not want to, he still had to care about this brain-dead lady.

If CEO Gu learned that his precious daughter received such a scare in public and embarrassed herself, they would definitely not blame Gu Lin but the other people who were present at the scene. Qian Yong regretted his decision. Why did he want to curry favor with Miss Gu? This idiotic woman was a hot potato. Once he got involved with her, he could not get rid of her.

He sighed as he took off his overcoat and tightly supported Gu Lin.

Gu Lin only felt that someone was tightly grabbing hold of her. She was so scared that she did not see who the person was and immediately hugged him. “Save me. Quickly save me!”
