Chapter 306: Flawless Continuation

Ling Tianya gaped at Yi Tian kneeling before her, feeling an odd sense of déjà vu.

Ah, she remembered. Back when they were doing the auditions at the hotel, Huang Yuqing had acted out the exact same scene — kneeling before her in public. Back then, Huang Yuqing had made herself as pitiful as she could, pushing Ling Tianya as far as she can. If not for her making precautions and recording the situation down, she might have fallen into Huang Yuqing’s trap.

Looking at Yi Tian before her… It was getting repetitive now. Can’t they be more creative about it?

Ling Tianya shook her head tiredly.

“Ms Ling, please do not take me off the team! I really care about the drama, and I had rejected many other castings just for this show. If you take me out now, I would be finished!” Yi Tian grasped onto Ling Tianya’s calves and sobbed, just loud enough for everyone in the vicinity to hear.

What did Yi Tian just say? Miss Ling wanted to take her off the team?

Realizing what was going on, Zhang Heng immediately rushed over.

“Big Buy, pull her up.” Ling Tianya was too lazy to get into this fight with Yi Tian, ordering Big Guy to get her off the floor instead.

Big Guy immediately kicked into action.

“No, no, I really do admire you, Miss Ling, that’s the irrefutable truth! Because I liked your work, I had practiced my acting skills, doing my best to be recognized by Mr. Zhang and doing everything I could to get the position as the female lead! If you change me out now, you’d might as well take my life!”

Seeing Big One come to pull her up, Yi Tian had wanted to struggle, but she was no match for him at all and ended up on her feet.

Ling Tianya stood up too then. She had lost all patience for Yi Tian. “Are you still going to continue acting? Your skills are good and had pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes.”

“Miss Ling….”

“Enough with that pitiful look. Don’t think I have no idea who had posted the photo of Gu Zhiqian and me and trended it!” Seeing Yi Tian’s obvious pause, she continued, “You should have realized something weird about the four men from props and the box. You had purposely distracted Gu Zhiqian and prevented him from continuing to focus on the box. Isn’t that what happened?”

Yi Tian’s face froze, not knowing how to respond.

“What is it? What’s this about changing her out?” Zhang Heng walked over then, his eyes flitting between Ling Tianya and Yi Tian. “Miss Ling, you’re changing her out? Why? I picked her out personally. Is her acting still not good enough?”

Ling Tianya didn’t reply Zhang Heng, but looked at Yi Tian with a half-smile.

Yi Tian’s lips naturally pulled into a smile at breakneck speed, gently explaining to Zhang Heng, “Director, you misunderstood us. I was just discussing the script with Miss Ling. I was just acting out the scene for Miss Ling to check.”

“Trying out the scene?” Zhang Heng was suspicious — he didn’t remember something like that in the script.

“Yes, there was a scene where I couldn’t quite understand how the character felt. So Miss Ling asked me to presume what would I feel if she was to change me out and act accordingly.”

Ling Tianya had witnessed again Yi Tian’s ability to lie without batting an eyelash, flawlessly changing between several emotions in a heartbeat. A truly amazing display of her acting skills.

Zhang Heng finally relaxed hearing Yi Tian’s reasons, showing a compassionate smile. “I see. Miss Ling, you surely are great at delving deep into the heart. I had almost believed it.”

Ling Tianya’s lips curled slightly into a smile. “No, it was Yi Tian’s great acting.”

Zhang Heng’s head tilted up in pride. “That’s true, I was the one that scouted her after all.”
