PICK UP A SON, GET A FREE HUSBAND 1

Like a Punch on Cotton

Jennie was going to film a dancing scene today. Unlike the heavy formal court clothing from yesterday, the costume for today was much lighter, so she could finally breathe.

After entering her dressing room, Jennie stared blankly for a moment. She hadn't expected to see Nancy.

She thought Nancy wouldn't be coming.

Since Nancy had not made the cut for the second female lead, the director had invited her to act the third female lead, Consort Xian.

The third female lead was also a disaster for the country, but had lesser screen time compared to Jennie. Furthermore, she was tortured quite badly by Jennie in the movie.

Although the manager had accepted the invite on Nancy's behalf, she was still extremely unhappy. She hadn't even appeared at the opening ceremony, and had spread out news that she was going to quit the role.

Jennie guessed that she had most likely heard of the rumours that the project had gotten a huge sum of investment, and had come obediently today.

It was a billion dollar production after all.

Nancy was getting her makeup done. Upon spotting Jennie behind her through the mirror, she immediately scowled, completely not hiding her loathing towards Jennie.

Like Krystal, she had a rich father to support her, so she had always acted arrogantly on set. It gave her a bad reputation, but thanks to the netizens in her camp, all the rumours had been twisted to paint her as someone who was straightforward and genuine. They even made up the title of 'Entertainment Circle's #1 Beauty' for her.

Therefore, Nancy hated Jennie to the bone, not just for stealing her role but also her title.

"Oh, isn't this the number one beauty in the entertainment circle? With so many sponsors supporting you, why are you coming to squeeze with us little artistes in this dressing room?" Nancy said mockingly with a malicious expression.

Jennie stayed calm and found a chair to sit on without a care. She started reading the script, completely unaffected.

She had a little quirk. Once she reached the set, she would concentrate fully on work and wouldn't let anyone affect her mental state.

"Jennie, what's the meaning of this? Are you ignoring me?" Nancy slammed the comb in her hands down.

Jennie continued reading her script, and it seemed like she hadn't even heard her.

At this moment, the makeup artist at the side could no longer keep watching. She coughed lightly and said, "Jennie's wearing earphones, so I'm guessing she can't hear you!"

It was only then that Nancy saw the two little white earbuds in Jennie's ears. She suddenly felt like she had punched cotton.

This bitch, who knew if she had really heard, or if she had been acting!

Jennie had done it on purpose, of course.

When she had first spotted Nancy, she had immediately put on her earphones and pretended not to hear.

Because in this kind of situation, if there were any conflicts, it would only be detrimental to her no matter who was in the wrong. She had to avoid trouble where she could!

"Miss Nancy, I'm done with the makeup, could you see if you're satisfied with it?" The makeup artist spoke in a careful tone, clearly knowing that she was serving a difficult master.

"I'm not satisfied with this! Do it again!" Nancy didn't even look at the makeup before saying so.

"May I ask which parts you're dissatisfied with?" The makeup artist asked.

"Everything!"

The makeup artist's expression was frozen stiff, but she could only obediently redo her makeup.

Nancy was raging inside after seeing Jennie completely ignoring her, so she kept taking it out on the makeup artist.

The makeup artist didn't dare to show any sort of negative expressions to Nancy, so she could only stare resentfully at Jennie in the corner.

She knew that Nancy was trying to make things difficult for Jennie, and she had only been dragged into it.

Only the male and female leads had their own personal dressing rooms. Everyone else shared a dressing room, so as long as Nancy wasn't done, Jennie could only sit there and wait.

In the end, it was only when Nancy's manager had come in to rush her that Nancy left reluctantly. She didn't forget to glare fiercely at Jennie even on her way out.
