Chapter 159: Your nonexistent acting skills

After a few takes, the scene finally wrapped up. Chen Mumu felt emotionally drained; the emotions she had to summon were overwhelming. Director Zhang walked over to her, his voice soft and reassuring.

"You did well," he said. "Rest for a few minutes before we begin the next scene."

Chen Mumu nodded quickly, grateful for the short reprieve. She made her way back to her trailer, hoping for a moment of peace to collect herself.

On her way, she crossed paths with Chen Xu, who was heading in the same direction. The moment Chen Xu spotted Chen Mumu, a look of irritation crossed her face. She clicked her tongue in annoyance, clearly displeased by the encounter.

Chen Xu didn't want to run into Chen Mumu, but circumstances had placed them on the same path. As much as she disliked her, ignoring her would seem cowardly.
