Chapter 563 : He’s Here! (4)
Her mockery, on top of her unkind expression at this moment, was altogether detestable.
Qiao Lian straightened her posture, snapped back and turned around to look at Qiao Yiyi.
Her severe expression and imposing manner caused Qiao Yiyi’s pupils to shrink immediately.
Qiao Lian raised her hand and pushed Qiao Yiyi’s hand off her shoulder. Turning her lips up in a half smile, she said, “That’s right, it’s me.”
Qiao Yiyi frowned and stared at Qiao Lian.
She was a month older than Qiao Lian.
They had gone to school together and at that time, people used to compare them.
Qiao Lian was good at her studies, pretty, and even better at playing games than Qiao Yiyi.
Hence at that time, she had been envious of Qiao Lian to the extent of wanting to scratch her face to shreds.
They said that a girl changed significantly between childhood and womanhood.
When they were young, she had not been as good as Qiao Lian, but now she had become extremely beautiful.
And what about Qiao Lian? Eight years of hardship would have surely worn down her edges, turning her ugly and ordinary.
However, when she saw Qiao Lian very much alive and kicking, standing before her…
Those delicate features and that look of sarcasm in her eyes that she was already well acquainted with, all of this infuriated the still envious and enraged Qiao Yiyi.
She said through gritted teeth, “Qiao Lian, you have the audacity to come back?”
Then, she looked at Qiao Lian viciously and said, “But all these years must have been difficult for you!”
She reached out to touch Qiao Lian’s costume.
Of course, the costumes for the extras were very much different from those of the main actors. She laughed in mockery, saying, “No matter what you were in the past, now you’re just an insignificant extra. I, on the other hand, am the female lead of this film! In eight years, we’re at points in life that are planets apart. Tell me, what do you call this? Hahaha.”
Qiao Lian laughed. “That’s right. Back then you used to follow me around, begging me to give you the clothes I no longer wore, begging me to give you the accessories I no longer used, begging me to take you to buffets. Our affection goes back a long way, doesn’t it?”
In a few short sentences, Qiao Lian had painted a vivid picture of how Qiao Yiyi had used to depend on her for basic things in life.
The people in the room immediately looked at Qiao Yiyi in a different light.
They thought she had come from an affluent family, but in the end, they discovered that she was just a poor kid who had gotten a lucky break and somehow got where she was today.
Qiao Lian had exposed Qiao Yiyi’s background with a few words, infuriating the latter. “You…!”
Qiao Lian blinked and said, “Why? Am I telling lies?”
Qiao Yiyi was full of anger by now. “Qiao Lian, I see that after eight years, you still know how to use that tongue!”
“Qiao Yiyi, I see that after eight years, you’re still so… easily ashamed and angered!”
“You…!”
“Ah, you get infuriated by a few words. You’re still so foul-tempered?” Qiao Lian completely disregarded how enraged Qiao Yiyi was.
The latter clenched her jaw and glared fiercely at Qiao Lian. “Qiao Lian, don’t go thinking I can’t do anything to you! Let me tell you, I’m the female lead of this film. Apart from Best Actor Shen, no one measures up to me!”
Qiao Lian curled her lips up into a smile when she heard this.
At this point, the stage supervisor charged into the room, having heard the commotion.
He was immediately nervous when he saw the confrontation between the two parties. “Agh, you two junior actresses, why did you make Teacher Qiao angry? Come out here at once!”
With that fierce tone, he looked like he was chiding the two of them, but in reality he was trying to steer Qiao Lian and Shi Nianyao out of trouble.
Qiao Lian had no wish to start a fight with Qiao Yiyi, hence, she exchanged a glance with Shi Nianyao and they both walked out of the room together.
Qiao Yiyi, on the other hand, glared viciously at Qiao Lian’s back as the latter walked away.
