Becoming the Third Party

Translator: Zayn_ |

The requirements for an official historical drama were naturally different from those that were labeled as ‘historical’ but were actually randomly modified.

From the costumes to the plot, there was nothing that he did not study. It was even more so when it came to the control of the character’s image. Song Qingyu had always been focused on her work.

After she joined the production team, she was either reading scripts or reading relevant historical documents in her spare time. There were also novels that she had written that were waiting for her to adapt into scripts.

Even the frequency of her chatting with Jiang Zhihan decreased.

Therefore, she did not care about the news from the outside world at all. During this period, the historical drama starred by Shen Xiyan was officially announced to be filmed.

This news dominated the hot search list for several days. The propaganda words used were ‘epic temperament’,’ legendary masterpieces’,’shocking the audience’ and so on. It also exposed a part of the service path

Looking at the exquisite clothing, whether it was fans or passers-by, they were all looking forward to Shen Xiyan’s new drama.

Not to mention, the male lead of this drama would be Gu Xingchen, and the female supporting actors would be Zhong Jiayin, Zhao Yingnan, and other big shots.

Foi this reason, Gu Xingchen and the others even specially sent a message saying that they did not join the production team voluntarily and were forced by the situation.

Song Qingyu didn’t need to think to know that the ‘situation’ they were talking about should be referring to her family.

However, she didn’t care.

Shen Xiyan wanted to suppress her, but all she could think about now was how to interpret the ready-made character well.

It was the same for the veteran actors in the same production team.

Moreover, most historical dramas did not have many female roles. The female lead’s role might not even be as good as the male third, fourth, and fifth. The Legend of Emperor Zhao Wu was one of them.

Seeing Song Qingyu’s outstanding performance, the director decided to take out her part and shoot it first.

In just two weeks, more than half of Song Qingyu’s scenes had been filmed.

In the beginning, the older actors in the crew didn’t chat much with Song Qingyu. They were worried that Song Qingyu would be like some popular celebrities now, looking down on her seniors after her fame rose.

After spending a few days together, they were moved by Song Qingyu’s seriousness. Not only were they willing to talk more, but they also treated her as a junior.

Early in the morning, Song Qingyu returned from being fed and saw Chen Lan with a serious expression.

Chen Lan usually worked in the company, and Song Qingyu had a small assistant with her.

Now that she came over and looked so pale, it was obvious that something big had happened.

Song Qingyu walked closer.” Sister Lan?”

Chen Lan quickly came back to her senses and pulled her to a corner.” Have you seen the news online?”

“What news?” It had been a long time since Song Qingyu last checked Weibo.

“I just came out this morning.” Chen Lan frowned.” Mr. Barker…Didn’t I tell you about the banquet last night?”

Song Qingyu was confused by Chen Lan’s words.

Hence, he clicked into Weibo to see what was going on.

Perhaps it was because Chen Lan came over quickly enough, but the entries #LuJiang engagement #and #Song Qingyu third party fthadn’t entered the top ten.

However, looking at the popularity of these two terms, it would probably not be long before they became headlines.

Song Qingyu clicked on it and saw that most of the comments were directed at her, and only a small portion spoke up for her.

[What era are we in? Marriage? Wake up, the Qing Dynasty is dead!]

[When Sister You and CEO Jiang announced the engagement, no one jumped out to talk about it. How did Sister You become the third party?] [So Sister Pomelo, who didn’t know, was in the wrong, but President Jiang, who knew, was fine?]

(What third party? It’s just an engagement, not a marriage. This trending topic is inexplicable.]

[He said that Sister Pomelo knew about their engagement, but she still insisted on sticking to it so that she could marry into a rich family. He said it as if you heard Sister Pomelo say it yourself. Look at how capable you are]

Song Qingyu’s fans weren’t the only ones making such comments. Many passers-by also felt baffled and joined in.

Unfortunately, regardless of whether they were fans or not, they were labeled as ‘brainless fans’ by the endless stream of Internet trolls.

Chen Lan looked at the message and saw that Song Qingyu was in a daze. She coughed lightly and said,

” He Jun said that this looks like the work of multiple troll studios. I’m afraid we can’t compare.”

Moreover, the Lu family was so rich that they could not beat them even if they threw money at them.

“Ata time like this, only you and Mr. Barker can make a statement together. Even if the engagement is real, you can’t be the scapegoat.”

Even though there were rumors of a mistress among many actresses, if Song Qingyu didn’t take the blame, she would definitely be targeted by the Lu family. Song Qingyu nodded and started to call Jiang Zhihan.

However, at this critical moment, Jiang Zhihan’s phone was either unanswered or on the line.

She tried to send a few messages over, but they all fell into the sea.

She had no choice but to ask Chen Lan to check if Zhizhi was at home.

Unfortunately, the cat had disappeared.

At the same time, the news of Jiang Zhihan’s car accident was exposed.

What followed was the news that Shen Xiyan went to the hospital to visit her fiance and said that she would never leave him.

Song Qingyu was also worried about Jiang Zhihan.

After coaxing the director to apply for leave, she went to the hospital.

However, the security measures of the Jiang family’s private hospital were already strict, and now they were even more different. As expected, Song Qingyu was stopped outside.

Immediately after, Lin Xuyang called again to tell him that the company’s business had been cut off.

There was also bad news from the Andersons that the Lambert Group was planning to open another shipping route. All the foreign partners had the intention of switching to the Lambert family.

The company had invested a lot of money in the ‘smart logistics’ project back then. If the Lu family did not get involved, it would definitely make money.

However, the problem was that if something happened at this critical juncture and hundreds of millions of orders were cut off, how could the company continue to operate?

Song Qingyu massaged her temples, thinking that the worst situation had occurred.

Lu Ziyan was obviously giving a warning.

The news of the engagement had only just spread, but bad things had happened one after another. It was enough to show that Lu Ziyan was forcing her to break up with Jiang Zhihan.

Song Qingyu was never one to be threatened.

But the problem was-

“Wliat did you say? Dad almost got into a car accident?”

“Where are you now? I’ll be right there!”

Song Qingyu rushed to the hospital and saw Song Xingye lying on the hospital bed with one foot in a cast and a bandage on his forehead.

Listening to Lin Xuyang’s words, Song Xingye seemed to be walking on the road and was almost hit by a van driver who was driving tiredly. At present, the driver had apologized and admitted his mistake. He had also compensated for all the losses and medical expenses.

Song Qingyu didn’t believe that this car accident was just a coincidence.

Obviously, Song Xingye thought so too.

So after LinXuyang left, he said,”

People like the Shen family might be easy for you to deal with.”

“However, the Lu clan is different. A clan that has accumulated for hundreds of years is not something that you can deal with just a little tricks…”

‘Dad doesn’t want to break up a couple, but there are many people in the world who are not fated to be together. Compared to relationships and the company… I hope that you can be safe and sound. After your mother leaves, you’re the only one left.”

SongXingye’s voice was calm, but it was filled with worry.

Every word he said fell into Song Qingyu’s heart.
