After that, Fu Jingmo never appeared again.

Li Beibei did not take this matter to heart at all.

On the other hand, Su Qingdai kept trying to sound her out.

However, things gradually died off after some time.

Half a month before school started, Li Beibei received a call.

It was a call from the production team of “The Legend of Taiping”.

She was invited to play the role of the young Princess Taiping in the new drama, The Legend of Taiping.

Previously, Li Beibei had already rejected them several times.

However, Su Qingdai happened to be beside her this time and vaguely heard the contents of the call.

Su Qingdai was also aware of this matter.

A few months ago, she went to Disneyland with Li Beibei.

They met the famous director—Zhang Xiaolong—who took a fancy to Li Beibei at first sight and immediately invited her to act in his new drama, The Legend of Taiping.

However, Li Beibei rejected him back then.

Unexpectedly, the production team of The Legend of Taiping had yet to give up.

After hanging up, Su Qingdai probed, “Beibei, Zhang Xiaolong is an A-list director in the country. It’s rumored that The Legend of Taiping is a blockbuster that costs more than 100 million yuan. Even A-list celebrities are jockeying for roles in it. Are you really not going to give it a try? You might just become famous overnight.”

Su Qingdai was actually very jealous. Li Beibei had an unforgettable face that people fall in love with at first sight—unbelievably innocent, especially her almond-shaped eyes; so innocent and sparkling. The innate aristocratic aura that Li Beibei had cultivated from her privileged family background since she was young made Su Qingdai even more inferior.

Wherever she stood, she was the center of attention.

Li Beibei said indifferently, “I’m not interested in showbiz.”

This was what Su Qingdai had been waiting for. “Beibei, can you recommend to the production team…”

Before Su Qingdai could finish speaking, Li Beibei’s phone rang again.

Li Beibei stood up. “I need to get that.”

This time, Li Beibei got up and went to the corridor.

After a while, Li Beibei returned.

She sat down and took a bite of dessert. “What were you saying earlier about recommending?”

Su Qingdai said, “Beibei… Actually, I want you to recommend me to the production team. Perhaps I can try out that role. You know, my dream since I was young was to be an actress.”

Li Beibei was surprised. “But I’ve already agreed to play the young Princess Taiping.”

Su Qingdai’s expression changed. “I thought you weren’t interested in showbiz?”

Li Beibei nodded and looked helpless. “But the director, Zhang Xiaolong called me personally just now. He said that the young Princess Taiping doesn’t have many scenes and can finish filming in a week. He’s an A-list director after all; I felt bad to reject him. So, I agreed.”

Li Beibei spoke lightly, as if she was talking about an insignificant matter.

To her, it was indeed a small matter. It was not uncommon for an heiress to have an avocation in showbiz.

However, for Su Qingdai, she had missed a good opportunity to change her lot in life.

Su Qingdai refused to give up. “Then, can you ask Mr. Zhang if there are any other roles? I can play any role. Beibei, I really want to act. Can you help me?”

Li Beibei agreed readily. “I’ll help you ask then.”

Li Beibei knew exactly what Su Qingdai was thinking.

In her previous life, she had rejected Mr. Zhang’s invitation and recommended Su Qingdai to the production team.

Later on, this drama became a hit. Su Qingdai also made a name for herself with the role of the young princess. Subsequently, she did very well in showbiz through her wheeling and dealing.

At the time when she tortured Li Beibei to her death, Su Qingdai had even won a Best Actress award.
