From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids
Chapter 67 Playing the Female Lead

Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Playing the Female Lead

Director Jiang awkwardly spoke from the side.

"Wang Suxin, just let it be, this is a short drama, the requirements aren’t that strict."

She never used to insist on real slaps in filming, but now with Su Xingwan, she starts pursuing authenticity.

Although Wang Suxin has produced a lot of hit short dramas, isn’t she acting a bit too high-handed?

"What’s wrong with a short drama? We must take every drama seriously!"

Wang Suxin felt a bit annoyed with Director Jiang leaning towards Su Xingwan.

Su Xingwan: "Alright then, since you’re so insistent on being genuine, then I’ll be genuine too. When it comes to slapping, am I the one who slaps you initially?"

After all, her role is that of a vicious supporting character.

Wang Suxin was stunned.

Then she said, "Yes."

She thought, in the first two or three episodes, she would just get slapped by Su Xingwan, but later she would constantly slap her back after the reversal. Thinking this way, she’d still be the one benefiting.

The short drama became famous for its slap scene right from the start.

Su Xingwan’s lips curved: "Alright then!"

Wang Suxin plays the real daughter of a wealthy family.

And she plays the fake daughter.

Before the female protagonist’s rebirth, she was always bullied by the vicious supporting character. After rebirth, the protagonist started fiercely retaliating against the ungrateful and hypocritical family, especially the fake daughter who suffered the most.

Director Jiang watched as the two finally settled down and then picked up the clapperboard, shouting, "Action!"

In the luxury mansion, Su Xingwan’s expression changed quickly as she sat imperiously on the sofa.

She looked down at Wang Suxin who was kneeling beside the sofa, her hair messy, mouth corner bruised, obviously having been slapped quite hard just now.

She looked at Su Xingwan with a pitiful appearance: "...Sister, I really didn’t steal your bracelet..."

"Just because you say you didn’t steal it, doesn’t mean you didn’t, huh? Nanny Wang saw you take it with her own eyes."

Su Xingwan’s eyes were sharp and vicious, playing with her fingers as she lifted Wang Suxin’s chin, looking at her face, mocking.

"Oh, oh, oh! What a beautiful face that evokes sympathy, no wonder it enchanted Brother Fu."

"Sister, I didn’t..."

"You slut! How dare you seduce my Brother Fu!"

A sharp slap echoed!

Su Xingwan swung a harsh slap across her face.

Wang Suxin was instantly stunned by the slap, one side of her face ached intensely, and in no time, it swelled up high.

When she looked at Su Xingwan again, her face was as venomous as a viper, and a trace of fear arose in her heart, her whole body shaking.

She instinctively shouted, "...Su Xingwan."

Director Jiang marveled at Su Xingwan’s acting momentum, genuinely bringing the vicious supporting character to life.

But Wang Suxin’s sudden shout of "Su Xingwan" disrupted the scene.

"What’s going on? Why did you suddenly call out Su Xingwan’s name just like that?" Director Ye frowned.

Wang Suxin: "Director, I..."

How could a newcomer like Su Xingwan act so well? She actually got scared earlier.

Actually, Su Xingwan was able to perform so well because she was angered by Wang Suxin’s prior targeting, causing her to get into character exceptionally fast.

Just as Director Jiang was about to call for a retake, suddenly, the sound of a child’s crying was heard.

"Auntie! Auntie! Don’t turn back!"

"Auntie, change back!"

Everyone was shocked.

They looked over at the two kids crying terribly in the corner.

Ye Yixing and Lu Yun were beside them, trying to soothe them, but they couldn’t manage.

The two men didn’t know what had happened.

But they continued patiently, "Your aunt is just acting, she isn’t really a bad person."

However, the two little ones wouldn’t listen; there was a hint of fear in their eyes, their little faces red from crying, with snot running.

The two uncles couldn’t manage to calm them down.

Even Little Su Yan couldn’t soothe his younger siblings.

And his eyes, complex and confused, turned towards his little aunt on set.

Su Xingwan’s heart broke upon hearing the little ones’ cries.

She quickly got up and rushed towards the two little ones sitting in the corner.

"Hua Bao, Luo Bao, what’s wrong? Auntie was just acting as a bad person, why are you crying so badly?"

Sometimes Su Xingwan couldn’t understand herself; she was just transported here, not even their real aunt.

Yet she felt a pang in her heart because of the little ones’ cries.

Su Xingwan hurriedly hugged them, soothing, "Auntie won’t act anymore, okay? Auntie won’t act as a bad person again."

The two little ones lay in her arms, while Su Xingwan patted their backs gently, trying to calm them down.

Gradually, the two little ones sniffed their noses, lifting their heads to look at their aunt in front of them.

Auntie’s voice was still soft when she spoke to them.

Little Su Hua listened attentively to Auntie’s heartfelt words, checking if she had changed back.

But Auntie had no inner words.

Little Su Hua’s long eyelashes still had tear droplets; she gently said, "Auntie, have you turned back?"

Su Xingwan laughed, "I’ve changed back. Auntie changed back a long time ago."

The two little ones blinked their big eyes, carefully observing their aunt.

"Auntie, have you changed back?"

The two little ones, lacking a sense of security, asked once more.

Su Xingwan patiently replied each time, "Changed back. Auntie has already changed back."

Then the two little ones clung tightly to their aunt’s fragrant neck, unwilling to let go.

Ye Yixing looked on a bit enviously, thinking that if this continued, they probably wouldn’t want to return to the Lu Family.

Lu Yun gazed at Su Xingwan, his deep eyes revealing unknown thoughts.

After comforting the two little ones, Su Xingwan spoke to Director Jiang about quitting the role.

"What? You’re quitting?" Wang Suxin widened her eyes: "Then wasn’t that slap I took just now for nothing?"

Su Xingwan had originally planned to quit after finishing her scene; now with the issue involving the two little ones, she was even more determined to quit.

Director Jiang felt it was a pity because her acting earlier was really good.

"Are you really not going to act anymore? If you’re worried because of the kids, we can arrange to shoot when they’re not around."

Su Xingwan shook her head, "Not acting anymore."

Nothing was more important than the happiness of the little ones.

"Alright then," Director Jiang said regrettably.

Wang Suxin was quite frustrated; she had endured for nothing because of a single sentence from Su Xingwan about quitting.

However, Su Xingwan’s firm attitude left her no choice but to stomp angrily and glare fiercely at Su Xingwan.

Suddenly, Director Jiang’s phone rang.

Upon seeing the phone number, it was from Boss Xu of the media company that had been supporting her short dramas and investing in her.

Director Jiang was surprised; why would Boss Xu call her at this time?

Upon answering, she was stunned by what Boss Xu said.

"Really... really? Boss!"

"Of course it’s true! Hurry up and do it!"

As soon as the call ended, Director Jiang hurriedly stopped Su Xingwan, who was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Su Xingwan turned her head: "Director Jiang, is there anything else?"

"Oh, it’s like this: Since you’re not going to play the vicious supporting character anymore, how about you play the female lead?"

After the words fell, not only Su Xingwan, but also Wang Suxin and the male protagonist beside her were stunned.

Wang Suxin: "Director Jiang, what do you mean? Did you receive a new script?"

Director Jiang: "No, it’s for her to play your role."
