My CEO Husband Has Some Issues - Chapter 695

Chapter 695: Chapter 695: He Still Doesn’t See Her As The Lead Actress
 

Her dainty hand discreetly reached for the man’s chest, her fingers moving so subtly it seemed both unintentional and intentional at the same time, tugging his focus back to her. Then she lifted her girl-next-door face with doe-like eyes, looking pitifully sweet, “Don’t you fancy me anymore?”

Fu Ya coldly watched her ingratiating gestures and could not help but sneer in disdain. Mockingly, she said, “It seems your Mr. Lu has taken a liking to another woman. And I think your role as the third female lead is also becoming quite shaky!”

She had introduced Xia Xue to this man purely for the chance to become the leading lady of the film. But once Xia Xue climbed into his good graces, she turned around and seized the role of the third female lead for herself.

Honestly, she didn’t mind.

She never cared for the role of the third female lead anyway. If Xia Xue was willing to sell her body for her, securing a role like that behind her back, it was all the same to her.

However, just as she had urged him to give her the role of the leading lady, this woman embarrassingly pretended not to understand and refused to speak up for her anymore.

Fu Ya felt like she was choking on frustration. She had always been spoiled at home, and with the first chance she got, she ruthlessly trampled back.

Xia Xue flushed crimson with humiliation, her face swelling with either shame or indignation. Pressing her lips tightly together, she subtly inched closer to the man as if she were a helpless blade of grass clinging to him.

Seeing his new flame being bullied wasn’t something any man would take lightly. Meanwhile, Xia Xue didn’t say anything and just relied on him completely, which greatly inflated the man’s ego. He didn’t mind stepping in to help, “Miss Fu need not worry about Xue’s role as the third female lead. If I said I will give it to her, I most certainly will. As for you wishing for the leading lady’s role—I’m afraid that’s wishful thinking! I can tell you explicitly that among you, we have only considered Rong Yan. If she does not accept, we’ll just have to choose someone appropriate from among the popular young actresses. It definitely won’t be you!”

“What do you mean by that!” Fu Ya angrily stood up, glaring at the man who dismissed her.

The middle-aged man, hardened by twenty years in the business world, never took a greenhorn like her seriously. Seeing that she didn’t know her place, he plainly refused to save her face, “I’m speaking Mandarin. Can Miss Fu not understand human speech? You know exactly where your ranking came from. You come here with a position gained through connections to negotiate with me for the leading lady role in our big company-funded project? Do you think I’m a fool? With your talent, looks, do you really think you can win the championship from the top four? I doubt even Mr. Fu has that much clout!”

Fu Ya had used up all her family’s influence to make it to the top four; moving forward required real talent.

For someone like Fu Ya who had always relied on her father’s status, the top four was already her limit. It was no wonder she got herself thoroughly humiliated for trying to negotiate with others using a non-existent championship title.

The commotion they caused was obviously noticed by everyone else in the private room.

Those who heard the middle-aged man’s words looked at Fu Ya with mocking expressions, making her face display an exciting mix of red and white.

“Excuse me, Mr. Lu, I have something urgent to attend to. Let’s talk later.” Someone quick-witted from AQ responded promptly, excused themselves from chatting with an investor, and hurried over to pull the about-to-explode Fu Ya away to avoid causing more trouble and ruining the successful celebration…
