The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 286: Turning War into Peace

This situation suddenly gave Su Wan a sense of déjà vu: she felt like a fretful mom being coddled by her husband and daughter!

What could she do, but choose to forgive them, of course.

No, no, hold up! Where did she get a daughter from?

Since when is Lin Dasha so accurate?

Moreover, she certainly didn’t have a daughter as dumb as Yu Zhishui!

She’s clearly a romantic rival!

Su Wan smiled and grabbed Yu Zhishui’s cheeks to give them a squeeze, "Who said we’re good sisters, we are romantic rivals! This should also help with the emotions in our scenes."

—She had always wanted to pinch the cheeks of this silly idol, they’re truly so delicate and adorable.

Lin Dasha got lucky!

Yu Zhishui’s voice changed as she was being pinched, "... If we are rivals, do we have to duel?"

Lin Shuang laughed and said, "Which romance novel’s plot is this from!"

Yu Zhishui declared a duel, "For my beloved, I will not lose!"

Dada-da!

Su Wan was squeezing Yu Zhishui’s cheeks like kneading dough, clearly addicted.

"Alright, if you want to steal Lin Dasha, you have to defeat me first!"

Stop fighting already!

Lin Shuang couldn’t help but complain, "... Is our movie Dust Settling some sort of martial arts action film?"

He couldn’t help but envision Su Wan and Yu Zhishui, with long swords and wearing straw hats, dueling in a bamboo forest.

Ideally, a gentle breeze would sway the bamboo like ocean waves, followed by a torrential downpour.

Two beautiful girls battling over the treasure named Lin Shuang for three days and nights, unable to part ways.

Spectacular!

"Lin Dasha? What are you daydreaming about, focus on the foot massage!"

"Alright!"

Just as foot masseuse Lin Shuang was about to continue his task, the door to the break room was knocked on.

Lin Shuang hurriedly set down the foot in his hands, and Su Wan quickly let go of Yu Zhishui.

Yu Zhishui, having her face squeezed for quite a while, felt she lost out and thus reached out to tickle Su Wan’s waist.

When Director Ren Hongyu was brought in by Lin Shuang ’s assistant, what she saw was the two lead actresses close together.

"...What are you two doing?"

Su Wan thought quickly, "Yu Zhishui and I were discussing the script, Teacher Ren."

Yu Zhishui seized the moment and tickled her again, "That’s right, Teacher Ren!"

Director Ren Hongyu thought to herself that there wasn’t such a scene in her script.

But she nodded benevolently, "It’s good to see you get along so well, it really helps with the filming."

In front of Teacher Ren, Su Wan behaved very well, "... We really do get along well."

Yu Zhishui seized the opportunity and stuck close to Su Wan, "We’re good sisters!"

Lin Shuang smiled contentedly from the side: What a splendid transition from conflict to friendship!

Director Ren Hongyu took both lead actresses’ hands, "Let’s go, the opening ceremony is about to start, come down to the courtyard with me."

She also called out to the little assistant Lin Shuang, "Lin Shuang, come join us."

Su Wan and Yu Zhishui both acted like obedient students in front of Director Ren, while Director Ren himself took the initiative to chat with everyone.

"I’ve never really liked these formalities. Ultimately, it’s the results of everyone’s work that matter, not burning incense and praying to deities. It’s better to rely on oneself than to pray to Buddha, but these are old traditions and rules in the circle, I can’t just ignore them."

Director Ren sighed lightly, "Speaking of which, there are so many so-called rules in this circle, but you two girls don’t need to worry. Just focus on acting and filming with me, don’t mind the rest. We won’t get involved in those murky waters."

Su Wan and Yu Zhishui looked at each other and both nodded solemnly.

"We will work hard not to let you down with your guidance!"

Hearing these words from Director Ren, Lin Shuang also finally felt relieved.

He’d heard that there were various scandals in the film industry, and of course, he supported Wanwan and Zhishui fully in their acting, but he couldn’t help but worry.

Now it seemed that they’d really found the right director, a reliable guide indeed.

Director Ren did not just talk the talk; she walked the walk. The ceremony was kept simple, and there weren’t even any reporters present, as she had turned them all away.

She truly wanted to focus on filming without mingling in the circle, a dedicated director indeed.

During the incense burning ceremony, Lin Shuang silently made a wish in his heart: hoping that Wanwan and Zhishui would have everything go smoothly and happily in the crew.

After the commencement ceremony, the crew had lunch together at the hotel to get acquainted.

Lin Shuang saw many familiar faces in the crew; though he couldn’t name them, they were all seasoned actors commonly seen in TV dramas.

Only Su Wan and Yu Zhishui, the two female leads, were new actors.

"I feel so much pressure, Lin Dasha~"

Su Wan continuously rubbed Lin Shuang’s hand, "Ah~ look at that senior actress, you know her too, right? We grew up watching her dramas."

Lin Shuang used to be dragged by Wanwan to watch TV dramas together as a child. He’d rather watch Sailor Moon or Digimon, but the remote control was always firmly in Wanwan’s grasp~

"Relax~ Remember what I said, if Director Ren chose you, it means you definitely have the potential to do well. Trust Director Ren’s judgment and believe in Wanwan’s capabilities."

Su Wan began to sing softly, "Believe~ in yourself~"

Lin Shuang harmonized with her, "Woah woah~"

At their table, there was also Director Ren, several makeup artists, and a few young ladies from the camera crew, with Lin Shuang being the only boy.

Across the table, Yu Zhishui occasionally exchanged glances with them, as she was being monitored by her agent Sister Lan while eating salad.

Su Wan mischievously picked up a piece of meat and gestured towards her.

But soon Wanwan couldn’t laugh either, "Wait, I’m an actress now too, I’ll definitely need to control my diet too, right?"

She quickly put the piece of meat into Lin Shuang’s bowl.

"It’s okay, you don’t have to be as strict as Shuishui, just don’t overeat."

Lin Shuang smiled, "But showing off barbecue like we used to is probably not going to work anymore..."

But Wanwan is probably one of those who "can eat anything and never gain weight", eating a good meal once in a while should be fine!

Su Wan pouted, "My barbecue! No, I’ll have to drag you to watch you eat, to satisfy my cravings."

"Are you sure that won’t make you crave it even more..."

Yu Zhishui finally finished her salad and joined their casual conversation.

"What what~ what are you guys talking about!"

Since the agent sister was still around, the clumsy idol naturally couldn’t stick close to Lin Shuang but instead clung to Su Wan.

Su Wan reluctantly accepted the good sister role and explained everything to her.

The experienced Yu Zhishui laughed, "That really would satisfy a craving~ Su Wan sister, remember to include me next time, let’s watch our dear eating meat together~"

Lin Shuang was genuinely reassured: truly a pair of good sisters!
