"Sister Lan, stop talking. Let's go." Huo Ru quickly pulled the indignant Lan Ying back, afraid that she would say something she shouldn't.
Lan Ying, who was in a fit of anger, did not care about this. She shouted, "Isn't it just because Ba Lan is the female lead of this show that he's bullying us again? Is she so great just because she has more fans than us?"
"Look at the two of you before you speak! And you, watch your attitude when you speak. A small manager dares to be impudent in my place? Just because I gave you face doesn't mean you can behave atrociously in my place!" Wang Lin was also angered and slammed the table.
Seeing that Lan Ying was about to retort, Huo Ru pulled her out quickly. "Sister Lan, let's go. There's nothing to fight about!"
Lan Ying was pulled to an empty stairwell, but she still couldn't take it lying down. She grumbled, "Why are you pulling me away? I'll teach that fat pig a lesson sooner or later! He's been abusing his power for personal gain every day, he's done this more than once or twice. Ba Lan is just a C-list actress, who does she think she is?"
"Forget it, Sister Lan. It's not like you don't know what kind of person he is. What do you have to quarrel with him for? You're making yourself angry." It was obvious that the person who had his role snatched was Huo Ru, but she comforted Lan Ying instead. She was very calm.
Lan Ying said hatefully, "I can tolerate it once, I can tolerate it twice, but we can't tolerate it forever. You are born to belong to the big screen and your future is limitless. Are we going to be trapped in this place? I can't accept it! You work so hard every day and can't even take on a small role. In our line of work, if there is no role, you are nothing. No matter how talented you are, you are still a pearl covered in dust."
"Calm down. Fate has its own plans, it's useless to be anxious now." Huo Ru patted her back gently.
Lan Ying wasn't angry at herself, she had many ways to change jobs. Her heart ached for Huo Ru, she had worked so hard and practiced basic skills until late at night. She was also good-looking and had a good personality. She just didn't have the chance to be popular.
Lan Ying picked up the phone that was ringing non-stop, her angry face gradually became serious. She hung up the phone and hurriedly said, "Huo Ru, Ningning's leg is broken. I have to go to the hospital to see him!"
"Don't be anxious. I'll go with you!"
Lan Ying was 32 years old. Although she was unmarried, she had a three-year-old son who was very lively and Huo Ru usually liked to tease him. Although his name was Ningning, he couldn't calm down for a minute.
When the two of them arrived at the hospital, Ningning's foot had just been put in a cast. The anesthesia from the surgery had yet to wear off. When he saw the two of them, he could still giggle and joke with them. After a while, the anesthesia on his foot passed. Lan Ying fed him a painkiller and quickly coaxed him to sleep.
The nanny who took care of Ningning blamed herself very much. She kept wiping her tears and blaming herself for not taking good care of Ningning. The nanny had been taking care of Ningning since he was a baby, and her mood was no less relaxed than Lan Ying's. Lan Ying comforted her for a long time and asked her to go back and pack up the things he needed to be hospitalized.
"By the way, I was in such a hurry that I didn't have the time to ask you. Why did you and Zhou Dong's engagement party yesterday suddenly change to Huo Yun's?" Lan Ying had actually wanted to ask for a long time, but she was too busy with a bunch of chores and hadn't had the time to speak.
"What else could it be? It's just a bunch of men and women's affairs. Anyway, I've already had a big fight with them and moved out of the house."
Lan Ying said indignantly, "She's just too good at pretending. She's clearly more black-hearted than anyone else, but she still has to pretend to be innocent on the surface. She's the same kind of person as Ba Lan. Ba Lan suppressed you because she was under her command. Otherwise, you definitely wouldn't be as indifferent as you are now! The two of them even said that they were good friends, I think the two of them are just like each other."
"Alright, Sister Lan. If you're really angry, will you be able to handle so many things? Let's take good care of Ningning first."
"Then what are you going to do? The company has never valued you, I'm surprised that you can't get any support even though you're so good-looking. In the past, you only acted in unimportant roles. Now, you finally have a third female lead and you're being pushed away."
"It's nothing. I couldn't be bothered to snatch it from them in the past, but it's hard to say now." A cold glint flashed across Huo Ru's eyes. She had completely understood that if she didn't fight for it, she would only be regarded as a coward who gave in. In the future, she would personally take whatever she wanted.
Lan Ying looked at Huo Ru and felt mixed emotions. She had always thought of herself as Huo Ru's sister and knew that Huo Ru had always liked acting and not deception, so she had always been gentle. Now, Huo Ru had finally started to fight for it, but behind this growth was endless sadness and bitterness.
