Chapter 437 - What You Are Doing Is Called Stealing.
After having a little chat with David Liu, Xie Ming went to her vanity room to change her clothes with Song Xiner following her.
When Xie Ming entered the vanity room, it was empty, so she took her dress from the chair and went to the bathroom to change.
After she came back changing into her dress, she found that Yuan Lei had come back as well. She was sitting on the chair while Shi Ya was removing her makeup.
Whereas, Song Xiner was nowhere in sight.
Yuan Lei, who was getting her makeup and hair pins removed by Shi Ya, glanced at Xie Ming when she saw her coming out.
..
She gritted her teeth as Xie Ming didn't sit to remove her makeup because she didn't have any.
" Here." Xie Ming passed the costume to the worker sent by Cai Bao to collect the outfists.
" You looked really great. It's a shame that Ms. Cai and Lily didn't get to see your whole look. They would have been so happy if they had seen you like this. ``The little girl has seen Xie Ming while they were shooting. She was really surprised to see her final look.
She was new but she knows that Cai Bai would be happy to see Xie Ming looking so beautiful in the outfit.
Xie Ming just smiled at her and then looked into the mirror to remove her hairpins. Since her hairstyle is complicated, it required so many pins making her head feel heavy.
In the end when she removed her jade hairpin, Yuan Lei looked at her from the mirror and narrowed her eyes.
" From where did you get that?" she interrogated her with a suspicious gaze which was looking at her through the mirror.
" Huh? I didn't get it from anywhere." she casually replied and put the hairpin carefully in her bag.
Yuan Lei sat up straight and said in a cold tone," Xie Ming, I didn't know you could be so cheap. You dare to steal things in front of everyone."
Xie Ming furrowed her brows hearing her words.
" Steal? What did I steal?" Xie Ming was confused because what is there to steal for her?
" Hah. So you are feigning ignorance. I am talking about that hairpin. Why are you keeping it in your bag? Shouldn't you return that as well?" Yuan Lei thought that this hairpin was given to her with the costume and other accessories.
The hairpin looked really beautiful and even she wanted to have it. However, she knows that they won't give her because she does not have that kind of role.
But how can she let Xie Ming steal that?
…
" You! Shouldn't you check things properly? If things go missing then you will come to our set saying that we steal it. But you cannot even catch the culprit when she is in front of you." Yuan Lei blabbered while pointing at the girl.
Xie Ming was speechless at Yuan Lei's imagination.
The girl was startled hearing Yuan Lei's words. She walked to Xie Ming urging her to show the hairpin. However, when she showed the hairpin, she was put in an awkward position.
Because she is the one who deals with the accessories yet she has never seen such royal and beautiful hairpin. This looks so authentic.
" Ermm. Xie Ming, this hairpin is so beautiful." she was in daze when she held the hairpin in her hand.
She knows that it does not belong to them, so she simply admired the antique in her hand.
Xie Ming smiled seeing the girl's reaction and didn't take away her hairpin right away.
" Ah. I am sorry. You should keep it carefully." The girl was about to pass it to Xie Ming, when Yuan Lei from behind hurriedly snatched the hairpin from hand with force.
" Why are you giving it back to her back? You can't just give it to her as a gift. I am the female lead, so I should keep it. I will make it popular, so that it sells well." she shamelessly demanded seeing that the girl was giving it back to Xie Ming.
" No. It's not our… " the girl was caught off guard seeing Yuan Lei's shameless behavior.
The girl wanted to explain that this hairpin was not provided by them because this hairpin was real and authentic.
When Yuan Lei took the hairpin in her hand, she was surprised because unlike other hairpins, it was not light at all. Because it was a jade hairpin, it's heavy compared to others and it was carefully carved by hand as well.
It was just amazing. She has an interest in antique items, that's why she could see it, that it's not a fake but a real jade hairpin.
Her eyes widened seeing it and before she could react, Xie Ming snatched it back from her hand.
Xie Ming glared at Yuan Lei as she said, " Yuan Lei, I didn't argued with you about the vanity room or getting makeup done first, but let me make this very clear, just because I am not saying anything, don't think that I will let you do anything."
" This is my hairpin. Do not ever touch 'my' things in future again. I hate people touching my things without asking. Also, what you are doing is called stealing, not me keeping my things in my bag. " Xie Ming scoffed as she put the hairpin in her bag.
She was so annoyed just now when Yuan Lei snatched the hairpin from the girl's hand.
It was her precious hairpin and she snatched it without any care.
Yuan Lei was stupefied hearing Xie Ming's words. For a minute, she couldn't process her words because she was lost in that hairpin's beauty.
However, when she realized what she had said, her face darkened.
" You.." she gritted her teeth in anger.
She wanted to rip Xie Ming apart. No one has ever spoken to her like this. And how could she accuse her for stealing?
She only took it from the girl's hands. Though she would have taken it with her, if it was given to Xie Ming as a gift. Because, she, the female lead of the movie, deserves this gift better than anyone.
However, before Yuan Lei could say anything to Xie Ming, vanity's room flung open and Director Han entered the room, followed by Xu Lan.
They were all shocked seeing the cold expressions on Director Han's face.
" Di.. Director Han." Yuan Lei stood up from her chair and looked at him politely.
However, she was feeling nervous seeing the indifferent expressions on his face. She saw the cold look on Xu Lan's face and remembered what she had told her in the morning, ' We will talk about it after the photoshoot.'
She remembered that no one has asked her yet anything about her being two hours late. Now, seeing expressions on Director Han's face, she started to feel nervous.
