After all, this body wasn’t her own, so there was nothing she could do about catching a cold.
Chuzheng searched the room and couldn’t find any dicine. Just then, the butler knocked on the door to ask if she wanted breakfast.
Skipping one al would make her hungry.
Let alone she had missed two als.
So Chuzheng raised her voice and said, "I’ll be down in a bit."
-
The butler went downstairs to prepare breakfast. A man was already sitting at the dining table, with a newspaper covering his face.
In the temperature-controlled room, the man wore a white shirt. The cuffs were slightly rolled up, revealing a wristwatch on his wrist, which made his long fingers look even more distinct and handso.
The butler quickly set the tableware next to the man.
The man shook the newspaper, and the butler seed to understand, imdiately responding, "Miss Qin said she’s coming down for breakfast."
Although Miss Qin had been living here for a while, the relationship with the gentleman hadn’t been great, and it had even been unpleasant at tis.
Miss Qin had never actually had breakfast in the villa.
She treated it entirely like a hotel.
The butler roughly knew what the Qin Family did, and without their actions, Miss Qin probably wouldn’t have co here in the first place.
Because of that, the butler didn’t think Chuzheng was like those won with ulterior motives.
The man gave an ambiguous hum and suddenly wheeled himself around: "Bring breakfast to my room."
Butler: "???"
So when Chuzheng ca down, the dining room was empty. The breakfast was already laid out, and Chuzheng helped herself, pulling out a chair to sit and start eating.
This villa did seem eerily gloomy as the original owner thought, not without reason.
Besides the butler and her fiancé, there weren’t any other living souls here.
As Chuzheng ate, she pondered how to break off the engagent with her fiancé... He probably didn’t want to be with the original owner either.
Since it was sothing both parties would welco, it should be easy to discuss.
"Miss Qin, would you like so milk?"
The sudden voice startled Chuzheng.
She clutched her fork, turning to the source of the voice, where the butler stood respectfully, waiting for instructions.
Doesn’t he make any sound when walking?!
Chuzheng didn’t show any emotion, simply asking calmly, "Do you have any dicine?"
"Is Miss Qin feeling unwell?" The head of the family had given instructions, anything reasonable that Miss Qin requested was to be accommodated, and she was to be well-taken care of. The butler got naturally nervous on hearing Chuzheng ask for dicine.
"Just a bit of a cold." Chuzheng turned her head and continued to eat breakfast. "Find so dicine."
Chuzheng only asked for so dicine, but the butler brought in the family doctor.
Chuzheng: "..."
Well, since he’s here...
Chuzheng had to sit on the sofa and let the family doctor examine her.
"Miss Qin has just caught a slight cold, nothing serious. I’ll give you so dicine; you should be better after taking it a few tis."
The family doctor spoke dutifully.
"Hmm."
Chuzheng suddenly felt a gaze and instinctively looked towards the nearby staircase. From the living room, she could see the spiral staircase leading to the second floor.
However, there was no one there.
The family doctor gave a few reminders to Chuzheng and then took his leave.
The butler sternly advised Chuzheng, "Miss Qin, it’s cold lately. Please take care of your health."
"Got it." Chuzheng glanced up at the second floor again and asked the butler, "Is your master ho?"
"He is." The butler nodded.
"I’d like to have a talk with him."
The butler initially intended for Chuzheng to go up herself, but rembered the previous instructions from the master not to let her wander around randomly, so he went upstairs personally to inquire.
The answer was a refusal to et.
Chuzheng: "..."
Hey!
You don’t even want to talk about breaking off the engagent!!
Chuzheng thought about going up directly, but then the film crew called, asking when she was coming to the set, as they were waiting to film her scene.
Chuzheng didn’t really want to go, but then thought about how Shen Qingman had tornted the original owner, even making her soak in such cold water yesterday. Not seeking revenge is not in line with one’s character!
So Chuzheng temporarily put aside the matter of breaking off the engagent and decided to go to the set first.
Today was the original owner’s last scene, and it would wrap up once it was fild.
Because she was late, the director had already started shooting another scene.
"Who is that?"
Many people were surprised when Chuzheng arrived.
There didn’t seem to be such a person in the crew, right?
Looking so good, if she were part of the crew, they surely wouldn’t forget her.
As a stranger suddenly appeared, naturally soone went over for safety to ask, "Who are you?"
Given how attractive Chuzheng was, that person’s attitude was quite nice.
"Qin Chuzheng."
"Huh?"
Who is Qin Chuzheng?
Chuzheng gave the na of the character she played, and that person had a look of disbelief like he’d seen a ghost.
This young girl must be joking with him, right?
No way they’re the sa person.
Chuzheng took out her work ID from her body and handed it over. The person repeatedly checked it before finally believing this fantastical story.
"Who is that?" People who went to ask got pulled aside with queries.
"Qin Chuzheng."
"???"
Everyone was as puzzled as he was just a mont ago, completely mystified. After hearing the character she played, they were shocked and in disbelief.
"Are you kidding? Did she look like this before?"
"She went for costic surgery, right?"
"How can anyone get surgery to look like this in one night? Use your brain."
"So she always looked like this? Damn! With that kind of face, why play a minor role? She could at least be a second female lead!"
Chuzheng ignored those scrutinizing gazes and went straight to the makeup artist.
The makeup artist had already heard the gossip and was also amazed by Chuzheng’s appearance, but quickly regained her composure.
No matter how beautiful, she’s just an extra.
Plus, she offended Shen Qingman.
With Shen Qingman’s personality, would she let her rise?
There are plenty of pretty faces in this circle...
With that thought, the makeup artist couldn’t be bothered with her: "I’m busy. Do your own makeup."
Chuzheng sat down directly, unbothered: "Soon the director will call over. If I go like this and he asks why I’m not in makeup, I’ll say it’s because you didn’t do it for , and the docked wages wouldn’t be mine."
The girl said these few words very calmly, but the makeup artist’s face turned slightly awkward.
"However, if you do help ..." Chuzheng glanced at her sideways, "All this money is yours."
Chuzheng pulled her hand out of her pocket and placed a stack of bills on the makeup table.
Leaning against the wall, only the makeup artist could see them.
The makeup artist’s expression kept changing, ultimately only showing greed, and her face broke into a smile: "I’ll help you with the makeup right away."
Who would be angry with money?
Chuzheng took out another stack and casually instructed, "Find soone to get a hot drink."
Makeup artist: "..." Oh my gosh!
But why are you carrying cash on you?
Of course, the makeup artist couldn’t go herself, as she had to do Chuzheng’s makeup, so she got one of her usually friendly colleagues to help Chuzheng with it.
When Chuzheng went over, no one paid her attention first.
Then they saw the director bark a couple of orders, and when he turned around, there were already two people attending to Chuzheng.
The makeup artist not only considerately asked if she liked it this way, if it was suitable, but there was also soone beside her serving her water and handing her a hand warr.
Everyone: "???"
Are you all just fans of good looks?!
The makeup artist and the other woman insisted they weren’t, they just had eyes only for money.
