By the time she heard this part of the conversation, Lu Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.
Ji Yunhuai? Last night? He'd put in a word for her???
He'd actually done that? Was it because she'd said she was nervous last night?
Lu Xiaoxiao struggled to process this unexpected revelation in shock, while the screenwriter and casting director continued their conversation.
"The Ji Family?!" The screenwriter seemed to suck in a sharp breath. "I only knew Lu Xiaoxiao was Lu Shiyan's younger sister. How is she connected to the Ji Family, too?"
"Those details aren't for people like us to know. You don't understand-in this industry, you need to stop asking about things that aren't your business. I've already said too much by telling you this, so don't let anyone else hear it! And frankly, we're lucky the role ended up going to someone like Lu Xiaoxiao, who actually has talent and is easy to get along with. We'd have a much bigger headache if they'd forced some talentless pretty face on us! A lot of things are decided by the money behind them..."
The casting director seemed reluctant to discuss it further. After a few more cursory explanations, he took the screenwriter by the arm and headed off. But the moment they stepped through the emergency exit, he spotted someone standing at the corner ahead who made him freeze.
It was one of the very people they had just been discussing-Lu Xiaoxiao.
Both their eyes widened. The screenwriter seemed to lose her voice, and a nervous sweat instantly broke out on the casting director's forehead. His lips moved a couple of times before he forced a strained smile. Just as he was about to laugh off their conversation, Lu Xiaoxiao spoke, her expression serious.
"Was everything you just said true?" she
