Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 197 Rushing to drink for her

"Oh, so it's the investor's own money. I thought it was from the production crew. Sorry to bother you."

Director Guo said those things in front of the crew, which made Zhao Xiaojing lose face. She could only say something nice and then leave through gritted teeth.

When Ning Yao heard the noise and turned around, Zhao Xiaojing was already gone.

Director Guo's displeasure lasted only a few minutes. He had no interest in the backstabbing and infighting among the actors, and soon he threw himself into his work, beckoning Ning Yao to his side.

"I need to change a few lines of dialogue. Can you take a look and see if there are any problems?" Director Guo pointed to the female lead's lines in the script, where a long section was outlined with a pen, and then replaced with another dialogue.

"No problem." Ning Yao read it carefully, and the revised lines were indeed much better than before. However, it was more difficult for the actors because a lot of lines had been added, making it more time-consuming to memorize.

Director Guo was very satisfied with Ning Yao's work attitude. He took a deep look at the girl beside him and had to admit that she really did have a bit of that person's shadow in her. She looked gentle and soft, but in fact, she was strong and resilient.

They ate dinner with the crew. As the male lead, Shu Jing'an naturally wanted to have more contact with Luo Xiyao, both on and off screen. He sat next to Ning Yao and occasionally served her food.

The ingredients provided by the production team were very fresh, and the chef's skills were excellent, comparable to a Michelin three-star chef.

"Wow, this is amazing! It's the best meal I've ever had in my career!"

"Director Guo is so willing to spend money, did the investors use all the money to hire a head chef for us?"

"You're overthinking it. All the money the investors give to the crew is used by our Director Guo to upgrade props and sets. He spends the money wisely and doesn't care whether we're eating gourmet food or pig swill."

Some people laughed and joked, but then felt embarrassed and personally got up to toast Director Guo.

Director Guo is very approachable outside of work and doesn't mind these kinds of jokes.

Besides, what they said is true; he does indeed spend all his money on filming and won't waste money hiring expensive chefs.

“I heard that our kitchen staff has been replaced by a Michelin three-star chef. The investors specially arranged it for Ms. Luo. We have all benefited from her.”

"From now on, I'll go wherever Miss Luo goes on set. That way, I can eat Michelin three-star meals for free every day!"

"I'm so envious. Why doesn't anyone do these things for me? It feels so good to have a sugar daddy backing you up. Getting Michelin three stars is like child's play. I heard that the investors even built a building for Luo Xiyao all by herself. That's quite a generous gesture."

"Does anyone know who Luo Xiyao's backer is? I'm really curious who has such financial resources. You know, Director Guo's dramas don't lack investors. Without strong financial backing, how could someone become the biggest investor in our production?"

"What do you mean by 'sugar daddy'? Can't it just be a friend who's close to Miss Luo? Can't it just be that Miss Luo has a wide network of connections? A Michelin three-star meal can't shut you up!"

The photographer said the last thing. He had a very good impression of Ning Yao and couldn't help but say a few words in her defense.

Strangely enough, he originally had no feelings for Luo Xiyao, and was not a fan of hers.

But after getting to know her in person, he felt that Luo Xiyao was radiant, just like his white moonlight when he was young.

Some people are born with an idol aura, making it impossible for anyone to look away once they see or come into contact with them. Luo Xiyao is one such example.

Zhao Xiaojing is considered a senior actress in the crew, so she naturally sat at the main table with Luo Xiyao.

She was enjoying her meal at first, but after hearing the staff behind her gossiping, she felt increasingly uncomfortable. Even a Michelin three-star meal didn't seem so appealing anymore.

What makes Luo Xiyao so special? Just because of her face?

She knows how to use her charm to seduce men into bed with her.

Men are prone to getting bored easily, especially in the glamorous world of the entertainment industry.

So what if Luo Xiyao is beautiful? Sooner or later, she'll be thrown away like trash!

Thinking this, Zhao Xiaojing glanced triumphantly at Luo Xiyao and threw the fish bones and chicken bones from her bowl into the trash can at her feet.

Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue ate heartily, sitting at another table and glancing at Ning Yao's side from time to time.

Their roommates are doing well, and they, as their friends, are proud of them. There's nothing wrong with that.

In Director Guo's film crew, the majority of the crew are men who do hard labor. Without a spirit of hard work and perseverance, you won't catch Director Guo's eye.

So after the meal, several staff members with a playful spirit started urging people to drink alcohol, especially those around Luo Xiyao.

Men, well, they all like pretty girls.

Even knowing the financial backing behind Luo Xiyao, they didn't take it to heart. Everyone took turns toasting her. As long as it wasn't done by one person, the investors wouldn't be able to find anyone to blame. They were all seasoned veterans.

Zhao Xiaojing was initially annoyed. Whenever she appeared, she became the focus of attention, and the feeling of being robbed of her spotlight was both irritating and frustrating.

She watched as the men frequently toasted Ning Yao and a plan formed in her mind.

Toasting is good, getting Ning Yao drunk is good. If Ning Yao gets drunk and something happens between her and these people, will her rich and powerful sugar daddy still want this used woman?

After making up her mind, Zhao Xiaojing instructed her assistant to go and find the staff at the other tables, urging them to go and toast Luo Xiyao together.

Ning Yao drank four or five glasses of wine in one go. Her face didn't show any emotion, but her fair skin began to turn slightly red.

"Okay, Miss Luo has a straightforward personality, I like it!"

"I must say, Luo Xiyao's alcohol tolerance is really good! She drank five people out of the house without even blinking!"

More and more people started clamoring to offer toasts, and the dinner party quickly became lively.

Seeing that something was wrong, Cui Mengmeng decisively abandoned her Michelin-starred meal, quickly left the table, and ran towards Ning Yao.

Before she could refuse the toasts, Shu Jing'an stood up first, blocking most of the toasts for Ning Yao.

"Don't bully my junior sister, she can't hold her liquor," Shu Jing'an said with a smile.

"We didn't bully her at all. I think Miss Luo has a high alcohol tolerance. She drank four or five glasses and didn't seem to have any effect!"

"That's right, Shu Jing'an, are you trying to be a hero who saves a damsel in distress? No need, no need. I think Miss Luo herself is the hero!"

"Hey, this is Miss Luo's first time acting. She's a newcomer to the crew. Don't go too far."

"Alright, alright, Miss Luo has already drunk so much, that's enough."

Seeing that fewer and fewer people were urging Luo Xiyao to drink, Zhao Xiaojing knew that it was probably impossible to get Luo Xiyao drunk.

She was also tired after a long day and didn't want to stay any longer, so she frowned and gave her assistant a wink, and the two of them left one after the other.

Haste makes waste. Once the helper that man arranged for her arrives, she'll have plenty of opportunities to ruin Luo Xiyao.

I wonder what it is about this girl that makes that man go to such lengths for her.

"Fine," Zhao Xiaojing shook her head, too lazy to think about these trivial details. She would just focus on doing her own thing.
