Leng Rongrong raced with them as if she were teasing a dog. She slowed down and sped up as she wished, toying with Leng Qingqing.
Leng Qingqing got so annoyed that she kept scolding the driver, who felt quite wronged and displeased eventually.
“She is a good driver, Lady Leng. I really can’t pass her or make her car turn over.”
The driver felt quite helpless, thinking that he was cheated.
He had thought that the race would end when he passed her. He assumed that the driver was a young girl who would not have just obtained her license and won’t be really proficient.
But he had not expected her to drive so brilliantly, making sure that no one else could exceed her.
The moment she caught up with him, she purposefully blocked his way, making him slow down.
For hours, their car was either blocked or surpassed.
This was her response to their provocation. The driver could not pass her, nor could he get rid of her. He didn’t know how to make this stop. The girl was driving him nuts.
“You trash, totally useless! You can’t even drive properly.” Leng Qingqing got so irritated that she screamed at the driver.
She had tried to teach Leng Rongrong a lesson, but unexpectedly, Leng Rongrong managed to teach her one, instead.
She had intended to arrive at the hotel in advance so she could plan a prank on Leng Rongrong, but this bitch managed to block her way.
“Miss, I am a good driver but she is better!” The driver complained.
“You can’t even beat a woman. Are you a man? You are not qualified to be my driver.” Leng Qingqing vented her anger upon the driver, scolding him again.
Hearing the words, the driver finally got furious. He suddenly headed sideways.
“What the hell are you doing at the service road?” Leng Qingqing could not understand his actions. “You want to get a scolding again?”
“I am done with you!” The driver stopped the car on the road and stepped out of the car.
“Hardly any money and so much scolding. Give the job to someone else, bitch!”
The driver left angrily.
Leng Qingqing’s eyes turned crimson with anger. “You dare to call me a bitch? You are a bastard!”
Bang…
A loud noise arose from behind. Leng Qingqing’s car was pushed forward, startling Leng Qingqing and her assistant.
“What is going on? Why have you parked the car in the middle of the service lane!”
A sound of scolding arose from behind.
Leng Qingqing: “!!!”
–
Leng Rongrong felt a little sad seeing that the car was not chasing her any longer.
So the game was over?
Now the trip would be boring.
Good that she had almost reached the destination. Leng Rongrong sped up and soon came to the hotel assigned to them.
Leng Rongrong stepped out of the car, took out her luggage and headed to the hotel lobby.
Some crew members were already waiting for her. So, she instantly got the key and reached her room.
Leng Rongrong went to greet the director after settling in.
“The shooting starts from tomorrow, Rongrong. You have done well with the script reading these days, so continue with the good work when the filming starts, alright?”
Director Wang was a strict person, but he treated Leng Rongrong in a friendly manner.
“Yes, I will give it my best!” Leng Rongrong smiled, showing her lovely face. “But it is my first time on a movie set, and I may make mistakes. So please tell me if you notice something lacking!”
“Just ask me if you don’t know anything, don’t feel embarrassed or shy.” Director Wang nodded at Leng Rongrong.
“Alright, take a good rest now. Conserve your energy and go back to review what we are doing tomorrow.”
After leaving Director Wang’s room, Leng Rongrong happened to see Leng Qingqing, who looked like a mess at the moment.
She seemed to be pissed, as well. Zhao Feifei, her assistant, was following behind her, holding many bags as well as an enormous suitcase.
“What a coincidence!” Leng Rongrong greeted Leng Qingqing. “Did you come here on foot, and that’s why you look so dusty?”
Leng Qingqing’s eyes were filled with grudges. She wished to make mincemeat out of Leng Rongrong.
“It is because of you that I arrived so late!” Leng Qingqing said furiously.
“I caused all this?” Leng Rongrong appeared to be startled.
“Oh, it was you who raced with me on the highway? Oh well, that explains it. I had been thinking who would cause me so much trouble… I don’t have any other enemies. This serves you right. Don’t blame this one on me!”
She turned around and was about to leave when a voice arose from behind. “Lady Leng, did you just arrive?”
Leng Qingqing could tell that it was Jin Mingfeng judging from the familiar voice. She turned around and showed a bright smile. “Hi, Mr. Jin. Yes, I just reached here.”
Jin Mingfeng showed an embarrassed smile at Leng Qingqing and then pointed at Leng Rongrong. “Sorry, I was asking Rongrong.”
Leng Qingqing felt so awkward that her cheeks became deep red.
So, he was not asking her!
Damn Jin Mingfeng, she had thought that his warm tone was for her.
Leng Qingqing turned around angrily, heading towards her room.
Leng Rongrong looked at Jin Mingfeng and nodded at him. “When did you arrive?”
Jin Mingfeng showed a nice smile and replied. “Just a minute ago. I am really hungry. Should we grab some food together?”
“Sure, I am happy to do so.” Leng Rongrong was quite willing to do that.
They chatted and reached a restaurant close to the hotel for dinner.
Leng Rongrong intended to pay for the dinner, but Jin Mingfeng insisted on footing the bill. So, Leng Rongrong had to give up in the end. “It will be my turn next time.”
“No problem.” Jin Mingfeng nodded.
Post dinner, they took a stroll in the neighbourhood.
Jin Mingfeng had many fans, and soon was discovered by some of them, who surrounded him.
Leng Rongrong was a newbie, so no one recognised her. She found herself getting pushed behind.
Rongrong: “…”
