Chapter 717 Domineering Princess
“Miss Xia, what do you mean by this?” Under Xia Wanyuan’s might, the scene was silent. Finally, someone could not help but ask.
“Coincidentally, Director Wang is here too. Miss Zhang, please tell us what happened just now. Was I the one who poured water and caused Chen Xiaoguo’s wound?” Xia Wanyuan looked at her colleague who was standing at the side.
“I…” Zhang Qi clenched her fists and looked carefully at Director Wang Wei. “Just now, when Guo Guo and I walked over, she suddenly fell. Perhaps she tripped over Miss Xia’s foot.”
Although Xia Wanyuan’s gaze made her feel guilty, when she thought of Chen Xiaoguo’s identity, Zhang Qi hardened her heart.
The cameras here had been destroyed long ago, and there weren’t many people passing by just now. Now, they had to believe whatever she said.
If she could successfully drag Xia Wanyuan into the water and make Chen Xiaoguo happy, she could be a female lead in her next movie.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qi became even more courageous than before.
“So what you’re saying is that I deliberately let the water splash onto Chen Xiaoguo?” Xia Wanyuan asked Zhang Qi. “Miss Xia, I’m sorry. Guo Guo is my good friend. I don’t want to see her hurt.” Since she had already made up her mind, Zhang Qi hardened her heart and admitted it.
When everyone heard this, they were about to criticize her.
Xia Wanyuan picked up the cup beside her. “Splash water? Is it like this?”
Before anyone could react to what Xia Wanyuan was trying to do, Xia Wanyuan had already thrown a cup of water at Zhang Qi.
Although the water in Xia Wanyuan’s cup wasn’t boiling hot, it was still seventy to eighty degrees. Instantly, Zhang Qi’s arm was scalded red. “Since you’ve already said that I splashed it, wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage if I didn’t do it?” Xia Wanyuan smiled at Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi started wailing loudly. Director Wang Wei was having a headache. An ambulance had just left and now another one had arrived. Those who did not know better would think that something had happened to the production team.
Glancing at the angry crew members who were about to come after her, Xia Wanyuan reached for her phone and handed it to Director Wang Wei.
Although the surveillance cameras here are broken, my phone coincidentally recorded how Chen Xiaoguo got scalded.”
After saying this, Xia Wanyuan leaned back in her recliner and leisurely ate a mouthful of watermelon. Xia Wanyuan thought to herself, modern cell phones sure are convenient.
If I had a cell phone in my previous life, I would have been able to solve many problems. I would not have needed to dig out the truth.
After Director Wang Wei finished watching the video on her cell phone, displeasure flashed across his eyes. Seeing that everyone was still gathered here, he said, “Why are you all still gathered around here and not working?”
“Director, my arm.” Zhang Qi looked at Director Wang Wei with teary eyes.
“Someone, go and find her a doctor. Also, get someone to pay her salary. You don’t have to come back tomorrow. You’re full of lies. My production team doesn’t keep people like you.” Wang Wei looked at Zhang Qi in disgust. She lied to me in front of so many people. She was hopeless.
After the director finished speaking, the people around him were stunned. They looked at Zhang Qi with complicated expressions. It turned out that Zhang Qi was lying. “Director, I.” Zhang Qi wanted to say something, but Director Wang Wei had already left. She turned to the others for help.
The film crew were not fools. No one would offend the director for her sake. They smiled awkwardly and left, leaving Zhang Qi hugging her scalded arm and crying non-stop.
Sensing that Zhang Qi was about to say something, Xia Wanyuan spoke first. “If you continue to be an eyesore here, you can try and see if you still want this arm of yours.” Zhang Qi swallowed her words angrily. The burning pain in her arm reminded her of what Xia Wanyuan had just done.
She didn’t dare provoke Xia Wanyuan, so she could only sullenly leave.
After what had just happened, the film crew no longer dared to gossip about her.
After all, Xia Wanyuan was able to splash hot water on Zhang Qi’s fair arms without any hesitation. She was too ruthless. No one wanted to go to the hospital at work.
“Wanyuan, shouldn’t we find an opportunity to invite the cast and crew to a meal together? Isn’t it not good if your relationship is too strained?” Chen Yun handed Xia Wanyuan an ice cream.
“This is the last one. You can’t eat anymore. If CEO Jun finds out that you ate so much cold food today, I’ll be finished.”
Xia Wanyuan tore open the package and licked it. “What’s there to invite? I don’t need their
goodwill.”
Xia Wanyuan had been in a high position for many years and could see through people’s hearts.
These people in the production team were just colleagues who had interacted with each other for a period of time. What was the use of trying to curry favor with them? She did not rely on other people’s favor to make a living.
Furthermore, those people only dared to point fingers at her because she was still young. When she stood at the peak, the first people who would come to suck up to her would be those who had scolded her before.
“Alright, whatever you say.” Chen Yun was only giving a suggestion. Seeing Xia Wanyuan eat the second ice-cream, Chen Yun was extremely worried.
If this little ancestor ate something bad, CEO Jun would kill me. However, he could not reject Xia Wanyuan’s request. Every time Xia Wanyuan said something, he subconsciously felt that it was like an imperial edict. It was really too difficult to survive between two big bosses.
However, he did not have the time to worry about his own life. According to the nature of the team behind Chen Xiaoguo, the news report about Xia Wanyuan hurting Chen Xiaoguo would be released soon. He had to make preparations early.

Apartment.
“Hey, I’m about to leave. Aren’t you going to say something to me?” Bo Xiao dragged his luggage and pretended to leave, but his eyes were fixed on An Rao, who was sitting on the sofa.
Ever since he woke up in the morning, An Rao had been sitting quietly on the sofa. Even now, when he was about to leave, An Rao still did not speak.
“I’m really leaving?” Bo Xiao moved his luggage. “Sigh, no one is sending me off when I leave. I…”
Before Bo Xiao could finish speaking, An Rao’s tears fell drop by drop. “Ancestor, don’t cry. My heart aches.” Bo Xiao did not have the mood to tease An Rao anymore. He felt that An Rao’s tears had hit his heart. He quickly threw his luggage aside and went forward to hug her. “Boohoo, I can’t bear to leave you.” An Rao cried until she was out of breath.
“I’ll be back soon.” Bo Xiao patted An Rao’s head gently. “Wu Wu Wu.” An Rao could not hold back her tears.
“Trust me.” Bo Xiao kissed away the tears in An Rao’s eyes. “I’ll be back soon. When the time comes, I’ll do whatever you want me to do. I’ll go wherever you go. I’ll accompany you to work every day, okay?”.
“Mm.” An Rao sobbed and nodded. “You must miss me,” “Don’t worry. I’ve turned you into a wallpaper for my phone. Look, I miss you every day,” Bo Xiao said as he tapped on his phone.
The wallpaper on the phone was actually a HD picture of Old Lian Po.
“You bastard.” An Rao couldn’t hold back her laughter and punched Bo Xiao.
