Yao Qing, "..."
In the corner, trembling with fear and daring not to speak, newbie Ruan Qiu, "?????"
Everyone internally: What in the world is this bizarre twist?
The normally cutting and strategic producer actually siding with Yao Qing against the hugely promising An Ru?
Or is it that Yao Qing really is the storied China girl handpicked by Hamoden?
Had they backed the wrong horse by supporting An Ru before?
An Ru couldn't utter a word in response, not because she was trying to maintain a pure lotus image, but because being cursed like that in front of so many people made her so ashamed she wanted to crawl into a hole.
This was the most humiliating moment of her twenty-three years of life—without a doubt.
No one consoled her; perhaps it was because the producer's speech hit too close to home and laid bare those hidden aspects, leaving An Ru's persona utterly shattered.
At least within the film crew, it was shattered.
As for her fans... who knows.
