Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Today I’ll Make You Give Up!

Hearing this, Lai Yuaner’s emotions finally began to calm down.

However, the mere thought of portraying a murderer, and having to act out such a twisted psychological state, filled her with revulsion. "When I accepted the role, they didn’t say it was all like this—with dancing and getting hit by cars, not to mention filming the murder scenes. The cut on my left thumb hasn’t even healed yet."

Sister Wen explained, "This is out of respect for the original work. I know these scenes have been tough for you. Just hang in there a little longer, it’s almost over."

Lai Yuaner wanted to say something more but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Tang Li.

Then, she recognized her own illegitimate daughter!

Tang Li turned to leave, but Lai Yuaner pushed past Sister Wen and caught up with her, blocking her way: "What are you doing here?!"

Stopping in her tracks, Tang Li looked at her: "I don’t believe I have any obligation to report my whereabouts to you."

"..." Lai Yuaner was seething with anger.

Thinking of everything Tang Li had done—framing her and Xia Lang, driving Aunt Wu away—she wanted to tear this shameless illegitimate daughter to pieces.

But just as the humiliating words were on the tip of her tongue, Lai Yuaner noticed the blood plasma on Tang Li’s face and suddenly guessed something, covering her mouth to laugh with utmost sarcasm: "You really have some nerve. Can’t play Ying Xuaner, so now you’re planning to be my body double?"

Then she turned her head and called out: "Shen Na, Sister Wen, come and see this. Someone’s so desperate for fame they’ve come here to be my body double, even making themselves up into this ghastly sight."

Saying this, Lai Yuaner looked back at Tang Li and clicked her tongue, shaking her head: "It’s truly disgusting to look at."

Sister Wen had already hurried over: "What’s going on?"

Her gaze fell on Tang Li.

Seeing the blood plasma covering half of Tang Li’s face, she too was taken aback.

Lai Yuaner crossed her arms over her chest, a gloating smile spreading across her face, and then leaned in close to Tang Li, whispering: "You’re hoping Ruan Jiang notices you, to give you a chance to be a body double, aren’t you? Too bad, I have no intention of giving you that opportunity. If you want to be my body double, better luck next life—start bright and early!"

Tang Li also smiled, tilting her head to meet Lai Yuaner’s gaze: "Forget about next life—who knows if you could even be human then."

"You!" Lai Yuaner’s eyes were red with rage.

Sister Wen quickly pulled her away: "Director Ruan is waiting, don’t waste time on someone who doesn’t matter!"

Shen Na also came over, carrying her makeup case.

"Sister Wen is right." She glanced disdainfully at Tang Li and persuaded Lai Yuaner: "If someone wants to play the fool, we can’t stop them. Just sit back and enjoy the show, don’t let her ruin your mood."

Lai Yuaner sneered at Tang Li: "I’m going to crush that little hope of yours today!"

Having said this, she pushed open the garden gate and went in.

Stepping into the villa, Lai Yuaner immediately sought out Ruan Jiang.

She didn’t know whether it was Ruan Jiang who had called the person over because she refused to act in that scene, so they brought in Tang Li as her body double.

Even if she were covered in blood plasma, she would never let Tang Li take her place on camera!

As she passed through the living room, the conversations between the staff made Lai Yuaner stop in her tracks.

"Look! The author of ’Original Sin’ posted a photo."

"Xu Yuan posted on V-blog? She hardly ever uses V-blog. Show me what photo she posted."

Several female staff members crowded together: "Lai Yuaner is here? Wasn’t she refusing to film the scene where she kills Mr. Ying, causing trouble for several days? How come the makeup test photo is already out?"

"That doesn’t seem to be Lai Yuaner," someone pointed out.
