Chapter 250 - Bai Qingyue (2)
"Director Yan, everything is ready on the next set. Should we get going?" His assistant came to him, but then realized that their director was looking elsewhere. Following his line of sight, the young assistant saw a good-looking couple in the crowd. He then realized that it made sense why the two were able to pique their director's curiosity.
In terms of appearance, the young couple would surely not fall behind compared to the young rising stars of this generation. They were both appealing and eye-catching, making one want to look at them more.
The young woman was stunning and elegant. Her appearance was one of gentle intelligence, as if even her wisdom had a feminine quality. Like the young man next to her, she was brimming with confidence and style, as if she was born to become a star.
Meanwhile, the young man had the kind of face that could stop anyone in their tracks. The young assistant guessed that Lu Qingfeng must be used to that, the sudden pause in a person's natural expression when they looked his way, followed by overcompensating with a nonchalant gaze and a weak smile. However, as he glanced at the beautiful young woman next to him, one could see the gentleness in his eyes, as if he only reserved it for her and only for her.
Despite the exceptional appearance the young man possessed, it was obvious that he was a one-woman-man who prized genuineness and thoughtful conversation above lipstick and high-heels.
Suddenly, the middle-aged director stood up from his seat and sauntered towards the small crowd. The security team was keeping them under watch, making sure they wouldn't delay the filming for the production team. However, they all shared a confused look, wondering why their director came to them.
"Director Yan, is there something we could do for you?" One of them politely asked.
"May you invite those two in? I want to have a word with them, especially with that young woman." Director Yan said.
Director Yan was a critically acclaimed director of several prominent films and TV series for the past decade, which cemented his reputation in the entertainment industry. He had seen a lot of beautiful women and handsome men, but there was something about this young couple that couldn't make him look away upon seeing them together.
It was like these two were made for each other and were meant to be together. Director Yan had no doubt that many agents would want to sign these two with them, either as a model or an artist. The two already had a head start with their looks alone, and they would surely become more popular if they had talents to offer to their audience.
The security team then invited Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng in and led them to where the director and his assistant were waiting for them. Coincidentally, Bai Qingyue went to see Director Yan to ask for his advice for the next scenes.
When Bai Qingyue saw Su Xiaofei, her eyes narrowed and her expression became unreadable. She was looking at Su Xiaofei with curiosity and scrutiny at the same time, and fell silent.
Su Xiaofei was wearing a green dress with a light beige coat protecting her from the cold. Her long hair was then tied into a loose braid.
"Miss Bai, the set for the next scene is ready. Director Yan has something to do, but we will be there soon." Director Yan's assistant told Bai Qingyue, reminding the actress of her purpose for going there.
Bai Qingyue gave him an awkward smile and glanced at Su Xiaofei, who was still talking to the director, wondering who she was and why she had come here. Her face then became gloomy the more she stared at Su Xiaofei's beautiful face.
How can she not be suspicious like this?
Eighteen years ago, she abandoned a beautiful baby girl in an orphanage. For so many months, she had tried to push the thought of her daughter away from her mind, convincing herself that she had made the right decision to give up on her child and choose her blossoming career.
Still, that smiling face of the young baby in her arms when she first held her daughter was deeply ingrained in her mind, giving Bai Qingyue many restless and sleepless nights because of it. When she finally mustered the courage to check on the daughter she had abandoned, the child was nowhere to be found.
She was almost driven mad because of it, wondering where her daughter was and who had taken her. The smiling face of that baby had become a thorn in her side that she couldn't remove no matter how hard she tried to forget.
Bai Qingyue tried to convince herself that the child had died and if she was still alive, she shouldn't be able to find out about their relationship in the future.
Seeing Su Xiaofei now had reminded her of those dark days of her life, and couldn't help but question if this young woman was the child she had abandoned years ago. How can she not notice the resemblance between her and this young woman?
If she wasn't her daughter, this young woman was surely related to her!
"Mr. Han, who's that young woman? Is she part of the casting?" She asked the director's assistant.
The young man turned his head and looked at their director and the young couple they invited earlier.
"Oh, Director Yan wants to invite the young miss to join the casting. He thought that Miss Su would be suitable to play the younger version of the female lead." He said with excitement.
Hearing his explanation, Bai Qingyue's face blanched. If the director and this assistant were able to see the resemblance between her and this young woman, the public would surely have the same impression of it if they were able to see her on the big screen.. That was something Bai Qingyue didn't want to happen.
