Chapter 139 – Joining the Cast as a Stunt Double

Chapter 139 - Joining the Cast as a Stunt Double

Perhaps Huo Tingying had said something to Old Master Huo, because since that day, the servants at home finally stopped force-feeding her tonic soups and medicines.

Huo Tingying also started leaving early in the morning and returning late at night. Each time, he would come back only after Yun Mu had fallen asleep, and by the time she woke up, he was already gone.

This dog of a man was playing cold war with her again?

This time, Yun Mu was determined not to give in. Having her bear his child? Not a chance!

However, she was scheduled to join the film set this afternoon. If they continued their cold war, it would be another half month before they could meet again.

After much thought, Yun Mu sent Huo Tingying a text message to inform him that she was heading off to shoot. But two hours passed without any reply.

Fine, anyone who spoke to him first would be a dog!

Wen Qingqing arrived in a company car to pick up Yun Mu and accompany her to the set.

But a red Porsche pulled up ostentatiously in front of them.

"Get in. I'll give you a ride."

The window rolled down, and Lu Nanshen removed his sunglasses, giving the slightly surprised pair a flirtatious glance.

"Yun Mu, is this Young Master Lu? He's so handsome!" Wen Qingqing whispered to Yun Mu, starstruck.

Why was Lu Nanshen here?

Yun Mu strode over and asked, "Did Huo Tingying send you? Where is he?"

"He couldn't make it due to some matters. He asked me to see you off. Get in the car."

Seeing that Yun Mu hadn't moved, Lu Nanshen got out of the car himself, placed the luggage inside, and then opened the door for her.

Yun Mu hesitated for a moment but eventually got into the car.

As Lu Nanshen drove, he observed Yun Mu's expression through the rearview mirror and broke the silence in the car.

"So... Sister-in-law, did you have an argument with Tingying?"

"Mm." Yun Mu closed her eyes to rest.

"You see, Tingying has been through a lot since he was young, so he isn't very good at expressing his emotions. That's why his actions can sometimes be a bit extreme. But he really does care about you..."

"Cares my foot! All he thinks about is having me bear his child."

Lu Nanshen: "…"

"Ahem ahem ahem…"

Wen Qingqing, who was drinking water, choked on it. She didn't expect the renowned President of the Emperor Group to have such shallow thoughts. How disrespectful.

Lu Nanshen defended, "Why don't you consider it from another angle? The reason he wants you to have his child is to keep your heart."

"Even more unforgivable. Using a child as leverage!" Yun Mu lifted her eyelids and gave Lu Nanshen a chilly look. "Did you come just to mediate?"

"No, no," Lu Nanshen quickly changed the subject. "I wonder if Tingying mentioned it to you, but are you interested in joining my research station…"

"I know, not interested."

"But how do you know you're not interested if you don't give it a try?" Lu Nanshen tried his best to persuade her. "Besides, Tingying said that you have an interest in medicine. My laboratory is the best choice for you…"

"I do have that interest, but not now." Yun Mu said coolly.

She did want to conduct medical research, but recently, she had been studying the medical book left behind by Huo Tingying's mother and realized there were many areas in medicine where she needed improvement.

Moreover, she was currently interested in growing medicinal herbs and planned to experiment based on the notes in the book.

Wen Qingqing nodded hastily and warned, "That's right. Yun Mu still needs to act and stream live. She plans to enter the entertainment industry."

This Young Master Lu actually tried to poach her client right in front of her. How infuriating.

Lu Nanshen didn't want to give up just yet and wanted to continue persuading her, but Yun Mu muttered, "I'm sleepy," and leaned against the backrest to close her eyes.

…

Lu Nanshen dropped Yun Mu off at the film set and then headed back.

This time, Yun Mu only had Wen Qingqing, her agent, accompanying her to the set.

Meanwhile, Yun Shuiyao brought three personal assistants alone, and the production team forcibly carved out a comfortable and luxurious lounge for her in this mountainous area with simple conditions.

Since Yun Mu was now the president's wife of the Imperial Group, the production team didn't dare to neglect her and wanted to prepare a room for her too, but she declined.

She wasn't that delicate.

Yun Shuiyao's agent scolded, "What's Yun Mu trying to pretend? She's deliberately highlighting how delicate you are. She's quite scheming."

"In the production set, one speaks with their abilities. I have the capability to enjoy better conditions."

The agent stepped forward to help Yun Shuiyao adjust her hairpiece and vermilion hairpin while praising, "Of course. Who doesn't know that Yao'er's acting skills are among the best in the entire entertainment industry? This time, we should aim to win the Best Actress award with this work."

Yun Shuiyao smiled. "I will do my best."

The agent smiled reassuringly. "It's almost time to start shooting. Let's go out."

It had to be said that when it came to acting, Yun Shuiyao was truly skilled.

Beautiful in appearance, with an ethereal ancient costume style, and a strong presence on camera.

After one shot, Yun Shuiyao received all the praise, feeling like she was on cloud nine.

On the first day, there were no stunt scenes for Yun Mu, so she leisurely sat in a rocking chair nearby to observe.

Before wrapping up, Yun Shuiyao deliberately took a detour past Yun Mu, mocking, "I heard that Young Master Lu sent you here today. What happened, did you have a fight with your CEO husband?"

Yun Mu replied, "So concerned about my relationship with my husband, do you still harbor thoughts of seducing him?"

Staff members passing by hurried away.

Everyone knew about the love-hate entanglement between the Yun sisters, fearing they might get caught in their crossfire.

Perhaps Yun Shuiyao felt that the set was her territory, making her words increasingly bold.

"Don't forget, you only married Huo Tingying because I gave him up. You'll always be my substitute."

"Who's substituting who? Do you think you can play the fake Yun heiress for much longer?"

In the distance, Wen Qingqing approached carrying a food box.

Yun Mu slowly rose and dusted off her sleeves.

"It's lunchtime, I'm going to eat."

Waving, Yun Mu walked over to Wen Qingqing, chatting and laughing as they dug into a heap of delicious food.

Yun Shuiyao felt like she had punched a cotton ball, gritting her teeth, "Eat, eat, eat! You won't die from getting fat!"

Inside the nanny van, Qin Ming, dressed elegantly in ancient costume, looked away indifferently.

His agent, A'Hui, asked curiously, "What do you think of the Yun sisters?"

Qin Ming sipped his coffee before responding, "One is stupid, the other is ugly. Neither is impressive."

A'Hui tugged at his lips, "Do you have to be so harsh? I think Yun Shuiyao is alright, sure she has a lot of negative press, but she's pretty and her acting isn't bad."

Qin Ming glanced at him, unable to hold back, "Acting by rote is considered good?"

A'Hui responded, "...It's not that bad, she even won Best Actress last year."

"Because the Yun family sponsored the event."

Alright then.

A'Hui didn't say anything more, then suddenly remembered something and warned, "Don't repeat what you just said in front of them. Those heiresses are people we can't afford to offend."
