This scene was seen by many people, and their scrutiny of Rong Dai gained another layer.
Although there were many who disliked Yang Wanwan here, Rong Dai was just a newcomer.
And she was relying only on the Huo family, this wealthy household. In their eyes, Rong Dai was just boastful.
But Rong Dai didn't care about these looks at all. She calmly and composedly went to sit in a corner with Huo Mei Shu.
Seeing Rong Dai disregard her like this, Yang Wanwan clenched her fists tightly in anger.
"You've offended people before we've even started filming?"
Qiao Wanzhou came in through another side door, happening to be right behind the sisters-in-law.
Rong Dai slightly turned her head to glance at her, a faint smile on her exquisite face as she explained, "I came here to act, not to be mistreated or make friends. This is my job."
"If she questions me, I can completely crush her with my performance later. I won't tolerate such overt provocation."
Qiao Wanzhou smiled and sat down too.
She looked at Rong Dai appreciatively, "She has temper, suits my taste."
Rong Dai smiled shallowly without replying. If she didn't understand some of the fresh terminology of this era, she would have found the other party's words distasteful.
Qiao Wanzhou's arrival livened up the banquet, diverting quite a bit of the attention from Rong Dai.
Rong Dai was not angry either, she was rather happy to have some peace and quiet now.
When the banquet started, Rong Dai was completely absorbed in the delicious food. Apart from occasionally chatting with her young sister-in-law, she didn't pay attention to anything else.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing her young sister-in-law's dejected appearance, Rong Dai was puzzled.
"He didn't come," Huo Mei Shu said dispiritedly. Her whole being was like she had been drained of energy and spirit.
Rong Dai picked out a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for her, "Then just eat."
Huo Mei Shu looked at her elder sister-in-law a little helplessly, "I have no appetite."
"You still have a lot of work to do. Once filming starts, there will definitely be many things I can't handle myself, so I'll need you to worry about them."
"Also, didn't you say that Mr. Gu is just the music director? On-site filming doesn't need music yet, so he can come at least mid to late production, right?"
Seeing her like this, Rong Dai also didn't feel good continuing to eat. She put down her chopsticks and comforted her.
Huo Mei Shu looked at her very dejectedly, "I just wanted to see him a few more times. If after this effort, he still has no feelings for me, then I can give up and go abroad early."
Rong Dai was helpless.
Love really tortured people, making them live and die for each other, not just devoted to each other. Her young sister-in-law's state, she might really need to be distracted to take care of her.
"Mrs. Huo."
The sisters-in-law were talking when Yang Wanwan, who had been scolded by Rong Dai earlier, walked over to Rong Dai with a wine glass in hand. Her smile was very bright.
Rong Dai's brows furrowed slightly. What was this woman up to?
"Mrs. Huo, I apologize for my earlier words. Please be the bigger person and don't hold it against me. Let me toast you."
Yang Wanwan had a gentle and charming smile. Her face was exquisite.
For a beauty, people's tolerance was always strong.
Since the other party had already apologized to this extent, she certainly wouldn't say anything malicious to hurt her.
She turned her head to pick up her fruit juice.
"Ah!"
Beside her, Yang Wanwan suddenly cried out. Rong Dai only felt her forehead to neck turn icy cold, the aroma of red wine lingering around her nose.
Her hair and collar were soaked.
Her skin was originally snow-white and delicate. As the beads of red wine trickled down her slender neck, it was very alluring.
"Yang Wanwan! What are you doing?!"
Before Rong Dai could get angry, Huo Mei Shu beside her, already in a bad mood, immediately flared up when she saw this!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Mrs. Huo! I really wanted to apologize to you. I, I... Someone bumped into me just now. I really didn't do it on purpose. Let me wipe you."
She grabbed the hot towel on Rong Dai's table, wanting to wipe her collar.
"No need, Miss Yang."
Rong Dai firmly grabbed her wrist, her slender white fingers clutching tightly. Although she had a smile on her face, her eyes were icy cold, staring at Yang Wanwan inch by inch, like knives. She slowly got up from her chair.
Yang Wanwan was shorter than her. Rong Dai's gaze frightened her pale. Especially her wrist, it kept going numb, and she couldn't even hold the towel steadily.
"Yang Wanwan!"
Huo ShaoJie and Lu Ye were also frightened out of their wits when they saw this situation!
If Huo Shao Ting found out about this, they'd really have to go film a documentary in Africa!
"Di-director... I, I really didn't do it on purpose. Someone bumped into me. I only wanted to apologize to Mrs. Huo."
Yang Wanwan shook all over in fright. After all, she was an actress. She squeezed out two lines of clear tears.
Huo ShaoJie and Lu Ye were furious, feeling stifled in the chest. This Yang Wanwan was brought on by another associate director. By the time they and Huo ShaoJie found out, it was too late.
They couldn't compensate before filming started, right?
"I'm fine."
Rong Dai still had a shallow smile on her exquisite face. Although she was smiling, her gaze was dignified and icy cold.
"I appreciate Miss Yang's apology. Next time Miss Yang makes a toast, please be careful. Not everyone is as easygoing as me."
Rong Dai smiled faintly as she took the hot towel from her and gracefully dabbed the wine stains on her face, neck and chest.
"Sister-in-law..."
"Mei Shu, let's go back first."
Rong Dai stopped Huo Mei Shu and glanced meaningfully at Yang Wanwan as she put the towel down.
The other party's tricks were really too clumsy.
If she had really lost her temper, she would have fallen into her trap.
Huo Mei Shu's face was icy. She glared fiercely at Yang Wanwan.
This bitch!
"Sister-in-law, wear this first. I'll arrange a car to take you and Mei Shu back."
Seeing Rong Dai covering her chest, Huo ShaoJie hurriedly took off his suit jacket to drape over her.
"Thank you. I'll have the driver return your jacket later."
Rong Dai nodded lightly and left the banquet hall with all eyes on her and Huo Mei Shu, remaining elegant and composed throughout.
Watching the sisters-in-law leave, Yang Wanwan's eyes revealed a smug smile.
She had deliberately splashed Rong Dai!
In all her years in the entertainment industry, no one had ever dared to treat her like this.
This Rong Dai had just married Huo Shao Ting out of dumb luck. What was there for her to be arrogant about?
She wanted to humiliate her!
"Director... I really didn't do it on purpose. I...I'll go apologize to Mrs. Huo right away. I can even kneel."
Yang Wanwan's face revealed an aggrieved and fearful expression. Her acting was superb.
Huo ShaoJie and Lu Ye's faces were ugly. This matter couldn't be concealed.
"You take care of yourself. One day you'll know you've provoked someone you shouldn't have."
Lu Ye said coldly and left with an extremely unfriendly glance at the associate director.
"Huo Director, I..."
Huo ShaoJie ignored her and followed behind Lu Ye.
