That was because there was a red birthmark the size of a baby's palm on Ye Shengge's right cheek.
It was precisely because of that birthmark that she had believed Mu Yanhuai's sweet words.
It was also because of that birthmark that she could only stay behind the scenes, no matter how talented she was.
Otherwise, why would she put so much effort into Mu Xiaoya? In order to help her get the role, she had stayed up late countless times to choose the script, write the character, and even drink until her stomach bled?
But now, everything she had done for Mu Yanhuai and Mu Xiaoya had become a joke!
She finally understood why Mu Xiaoya had always been hostile to her, and why Mu Xiaoya always liked to stick to Mu Yanhuai. She had even seen Mu Yanhuai and Mu Xiaoya hugging each other several times.
However, Ye Shengge always thought that they were siblings, so it was normal for them to be close.
Damn his biological siblings!
Ye Shengge clenched her fists, and there seemed to be something burning in her eyes.
Just then, her phone, which she had left by the sink, rang.
She bit her lips when she saw Mu Yanhuai's name on the screen.
She calmed herself down, picked up the phone and said, "Hello."
"Where are you?" Mu Yanhuai asked. "Haven't you been contacting the director of 'Xue Ning', Xu Xiangjie? How is it? Has he agreed to let Xiaoya be the lead actress? "
The investor of 'Xue Ning' was T.S. Corporation, one of the largest corporations in the country. T.S. Corporation spanned across finance, communications, real estate, e-commerce and many other fields, and had abundant resources.
Mu Yanhuai had always wanted to get to know the heir of T.S. Corporation, the current CEO, Ji Shiting. Unfortunately, Ji Shiting had always been low-key and mysterious. Even though Mu Yanhuai was the boss of Star Brilliance, he didn't have the right to give Ji Shiting his name card.
He could only use this show to build a relationship with T.S. Corporation, so he attached great importance to 'Xue Ning'.
Ye Shengge knew what he was planning, so she had been meeting Director Xu Xiangjie frequently. Last night, Director Xu had finally relented and agreed to give Mu Xiaoya another chance.
She had been seventy to eighty percent sure that Mu Xiaoya would get the role, but now …
"Director Xu still hasn't given in. He's still not satisfied with Xiaoya's performance in the audition," she said calmly, trying her best not to reveal anything.
"Xu Xiangjie!" Mu Yanhuai said with hatred, "In this case, we can't lose the Dingsheng Awards tonight. I don't believe that Xu Xiangjie won't change his mind if Xiaoya wins Best Actress. Hurry up and find out what the organizers and judges are thinking. "
Ye Shengge hadn't realized until then that Mu Yanhuai had always sounded so condescending when he called her.
She clenched her fists, looked at herself in the mirror, and slowly smiled. "Okay."
…
At five o 'clock in the evening, the first event was the red carpet.
The venue tonight was filled with stars, but Mu Xiaoya's popularity had skyrocketed recently, so she was one of the last few to appear.
Ye Shengge appeared in the audience area next to the red carpet. She was wearing a mask, so she didn't attract any attention.
Before long, Mu Xiaoya appeared. She held Mu Yanhuai's arm and walked down the red carpet with a smile.
The cheers were deafening. Mu Xiaoya was indeed the most eye-catching actress this year.
"Wow. That's Mu Xiaoya and her brother, Mu Yanhuai! " The audience next to them shouted. "How lucky. Her brother is the boss of the company, and he's throwing so many resources at her. No wonder Mu Xiaoya has become so popular these years!"
Ye Shengge's eyes twinkled.
That's right, Star Brilliance Entertainment had given the best resources to Mu Xiaoya. Other than that, she was also worried about Mu Xiaoya as her agent.
Every single one of Mu Xiaoya's shows were carefully chosen by her, and in order to leave a good impression on the director, Ye Shengge would always tell Mu Xiaoya about the scenes in advance and drag her to rehearse again and again. That was how she gained a reputation as an actress in the circle.
Even so, Mu Xiaoya would lose her temper from time to time. Ye Shengge had always treated her like a sister, and she had always coaxed her.
When she was on the set, she would be her stunt double if she could. Ye Shengge had taken on all the dangerous scenes, but she had never mentioned it in publicity. She had even given Mu Xiaoya the image of a 'dedicated' and 'hardworking' mother, which had earned her a lot of affection.
If not for that, how could Mu Xiaoya have accumulated so much popularity in just three years?
