The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 940

Mango's eyes were burning with anger.

She had never expected to see such a scene. So many people were surrounding Rainie while punching and kicking her.

Rainie was weak, so she curled up on the ground and allowed others to bully her.

Mango's heart ached badly, but at the same time, she was furious.

Rainie gently tugged at Mango's elbow and said in a low voice, "It's not of the director's fault. This is a play, and this is what my character is going through." "Really? As far as I know, you are just an extra, aren't you? Why does an extra like you need to be filmed so many times?"

Mango saw Rainie's performance several times when she was in the car. It was obvious that someone was trying to create trouble for Rainie while filming.

The director looked at Mango and naturally recognized her. However, he didn't compliment her too much as he said faintly, "Her performance isn't good, so she had to redo the scene many times. Mrs. Ye, you're an outsider, so don't act like you know everything. If you can't bear to see her suffer, then you can take her away. We don't lack actors anyway."

Mango's chest heaved up and down rapidly. She grabbed Rainie's hand and said, "Let's go! We're done here!"

However, Rainie did not move.

"Mango, let go of me!"

Rainie's gaze was somewhat persistent.

Mango looked at the bruises on Rainie's face and arm in shock. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Why do you have to go through this?"

"I'm an extra, but if I really want to be an actress, I have to bear some hardships. If I can't even bear these hardships, what will happen to my family? What will happen to me in the future? You can help me once, but can you help me for a lifetime? Even if you can, I don't want to live like that. I have to rely on myself and take on the burden of my family. So don't worry about me. You'd better go because staying would only upset you."

Rainie used to be so high-spirited, but now she was holding back her anger for money.

Mango's heart was in pain, but she didn't say anything else.

"I'll wait for you to finish your work."

Mango was also a stubborn person.

Rainie did not try to convince her. It was because she did not have time. After all, she was only an extra. The director was right. He could use another actor at any time. If that happened, the beatings that she had suffered the past hour would be useless!

She took a deep breath and turned to the director before saying, "I'm sorry, director. You can start."

The director was slightly taken aback.

He thought that this woman would walk away or beg him for mercy. However, he didn't expect that she would take it.

As for Mango, she sat by the side and watched. Even the director was wary of her. He wouldn't dare to do anything to Rainie. After all, Nathaniel was well-known for spoiling his wife.

"Let's get started. Try your best to do it in one take."

The director opened his mouth, and the others naturally understood.

Rainie was still in the same position as before. She had put in her best effort to act. Mango watched from the side and did not make a single sound.

Rainie did not stop until it was late at night.

After the director gave her money, he said goodbye to Mango and left.

Rainie's entire body was in pain. After everyone had left, she sat down beside Mango and said through gritted teeth, "Please... please your driver to buy me a bottle of Betadine. Tsk! I really can't walk anymore."

"Hah! I thought you were made of iron. You showed no signs of pain and tiredness."

Mango opened her mouth with some resentment.

Ned hurriedly took out the Betadine that Mango had bought a while ago and passed it over.

"Roll up your sleeves, and I'll apply the medicine for you."

Mango's tone was not rude, but her movements were gentle.

Rainie looked at Mango and said with a smile, "You're only good at using your mouth."

"You cheeky brat!"

Mango helplessly glared at Rainie and said, "Alas! Did you think that I couldn't tell that the director was purposely tormenting you? Did he ask you to do something again? He was angry because you refused him, right? So, he took this opportunity to teach you a lesson. I'll remember this director.

Let's see how I can deal with him later!"

How could Rainie not know about what happened here?

But she needed money now. What could she do?

She sighed and said, "We both know the truth behind it, but I need the money now."

"Do you have to take this path?"

Mango looked at Rainie and asked subconsciously.

Rainie paused for a moment and then nodded and said, "Yes, what else can I do besides this? You've seen our family's conditions. How much money can fill such an abyss? I've asked around. If I can debut, although I can't let them live a better life with my annual income, at least I have some expenses. So I must take this path."

Mango carefully applied the medicine on her. She sighed and said, "Since you've decided, I'll support you."

"Thank you."

Rainie didn't know that Mango was going to start a film company for her. Mango didn't say anything and changed the subject, "Call Denver, he's worried about you."

"Oh, okay."

Rainie took out her phone.

Because of her job, she had no choice but to mute her phone. When she saw that Mango had called her, she smiled and glanced at it before calling Denver.

"I just got off work, and I couldn't pick up any calls during work time. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Rainie was a little tired, but when she called Denver, her tone was so light and bright.

Mango looked at her and suddenly understood.

Rainie only showed her positive and bright side to her family.

Her family was the motivation for her to carry on.

She didn't say anything and continued to apply the medicine for Rainie.

Denver finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Rainie's voice.

"Rainie, I couldn't get through you. Both Mango and I were very anxious. Oh yes, did she go over and meet you?"

"Haha! She's next to me right now."

Rainie smiled faintly and said, "What did you want to say?"

"Mango said that she contacted Emberly, the international surgeon and asked me to go to City B with her. Um...should I go?"

"Yes, why not?"

Rainie immediately became spirited.

"Denver, listen to me. No matter how much I have to pay, I must cure your legs. I can't give up even if there is only a glimmer of hope. But... but I can't go to City B with you." Rainie's words were very helpless.

She had to work hard and earn money to pay her father and Thomas' medical bills. Countless bills arrived in her mailbox every day, so she had to stay here.

Denver knew about Rainie's situation. He said in a low voice, "I'll go with Mango then. Um, Rainie... you have to work hard for a while. When my legs are healed, I'll protect you and your family." "All right."

Rainie's nose was a little stuffy, and her eyes were slightly red.

"I'll wait for you to come back safely."

After Rainie hung up the phone, she immediately turned around and hugged Mango. Tears finally rolled down her cheeks.

"Thank you, Mango! Really! Thank you so much!"

She was not a weak woman, but she had endured all these sufferings for a long time.

At this point, she seemed to have found a way to let go of her emotions. Tears slid down her cheeks.

Mango gently patted Rainie's back and said softly, "It's alright Everything will be okay. The path forward may be filled with thorns, but I'll be there with you all the way. Leave Denver to me, and I'll get him back home safely. Don't worry about it."

"All right."

Rainie nodded and said, "No words can express how grateful I am for your great kindness. As long as Denver's legs are cured, I will give my life to you."

"Hey! Why would I want your life? I only want you to live well. In the future, the two of us will take over Ocean City and do whatever we want. Doesn't that sound great?"

Hearing Mango's words, Rainie couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha! Do you think you're acting in a movie?"

"My best friend will be a big star in the future. Haha! Of course, I need to start learning how to read lines now."

Mango smiled faintly as she joked with her.

Rainie knew that Mango was trying to comfort her, but she still nodded and said, "Alright, well rule the world together in the future."

They held each other's hands tightly.

Rainie needed to go to the hospital to take care of Thomas and Uncle Blu. So, she could not send Denver off. Mango told Nathaniel about this matter, and Nathaniel specially sent someone to send them over with a helicopter.

Mango had always thought that Nathaniel would order someone else to do it for him. However, she never expected Nathaniel to personally handle the plane. She was shocked for a moment. "Wait... are you going to City B too?"

"What? I can't do that? You're running around with a child inside of you, and I'm worried. I have to follow you at all times."

Mango was speechless when she heard Nathaniel's words.

"Huh? You don't need to work? What should the children and I eat?"

"Don't worry! There are high-level officials in the company. I can always start a meeting through my phone. Besides, even if I don't work, I make enough money from the mines, so you don't need to worry about food."

"Hah! You should work harder so that you can make more progress."

Mango scolded him with a faint smile. Then, she and Ned carried Denver onto the helicopter.

It was 7:30 pm when they arrived in City B.

Nathaniel was afraid that Mango was too hungry, so he ordered some food in advance.

They ate some of the food and drove to Emberly's house.

But to Mango's surprise, she saw a man at the door of Emberly's residence.

"Eugene? Why are you here?"

Nathaniel recognized the man in front of him at a glance and was very surprised.

Eugene frowned in annoyance.

"What are you doing here? Is it just about the house? You should've given me a call instead! Why are you guys here? Who's the person behind you? Is he here to see Emberly? Nathaniel, what the hell do you mean! It's 7:30 in the evening. My wife hasn't finished this operation yet. Are you going to let her work overnight?"

Eugene's expression darkened.

Nathaniel knew his temper and said faintly, "Doctor Xiao asked us to come."

"Bullsh*t! If you didn't tell her my name, she wouldn't torture herself like that."

Mango was slightly stunned and felt a little embarrassed.

"I did use your name, but Nathan doesn't know

about that."

Mango took the blame, but Nathaniel grabbed her arm.

He looked at Eugene and said blandly, "Eugene, what do you want?"
