Chi Shuyan had completely calmed down by then. She was about to speak, when a cup of water was suddenly handed to her. Chi Shuyan was stumped and subconsciously looked at the person in front of her. Who else could it be but the beautiful female lead?
There was some warmth in Song Yanru’s eyes. Seeing the young lady in front of her stare blankly at her in silence, she thought that she had been scared silly. After handing her the water, she comforted her. “Young lady, don’t think too much. As the saying goes, there will be good fortune after surviving a calamity. You must be a blessed person.”
After listening to her, Chi Shuyan’s impression of the female lead in front of her was simply too good. Of course, she also knew that most of her favorable impression had to do with the other woman’s beautiful face.
Only then did Chi Shuyan realize that she was actually obsessed with looks. She took a few more looks at Song Yanru, took the cup, and thanked her.
Director Wang, Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin immediately echoed Song Yanru, saying that she would definitely be blessed after surviving a calamity. They were afraid that she would be scared by what happened just now. In Director Wang’s opinion, it was already admirable that the young lady in front of him didn’t cry or get red eyes after almost being hit by the rock just now.
Of course, there were also a few people who had a problem with Chi Shuyan after that, such as the assistant director and producer of this movie, as well as Du Lan and Ke Mingmei.
They didn’t think it was an accident. Instead, an unfamiliar face appeared on set and something suddenly happened; they felt that this was holding up filming. Not only didn’t they come forward to express their condolences, they acted all suspicious.
Who knew how Du Lan had been provoked, but she didn’t hide her disgust for Chi Shuyan as she said directly to Director Wang, “Director Wang, why did an unfamiliar face appear on our set? If not for her, filming wouldn’t be delayed.” In other words, without her around today, this accident definitely wouldn’t have happened.
Du Lan’s words simply made no sense. Director Wang frowned. Although he was very concerned about the shooting schedule and all sorts of interests, he was still reasonable and knew that the young lady in front of him really couldn’t be blamed for this.
In Director Wang’s opinion, even if nothing happened to the young lady in front of him today, the rock would still have fallen. If it wasn’t this young lady, then it would be someone else from the crew who would be implicated.
To some extent, this young lady could be considered to have helped the film crew ‘save’ a human life. Even if it was an accident, no matter how well-connected Director Wang was, he wouldn’t be able to handle it. If the higher-ups pursued the matter, his movie might be shelved, so he was very grateful to this young lady.
So, Director Wang wanted to speak up for the innocent girl in front of him. Before he could speak, however, Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin couldn’t help but directly argue with Du Lan, saying that if Chi Shuyan hadn’t had an accident on set this time, Du Lan might have been the one who was smashed to death. Not only was she not thankful, why was she acting like this?
Ruan Shenglin’s unusually poisonous tongue almost made Du Lan cry.
Chi Shuyan was still immersed in her thoughts and didn’t think much of what was happening. As for what the celebrity surnamed Du said about her, she didn’t take it to heart at all. A person who was strong enough would naturally ignore weak fragile attacks like these and see them as nothing. The celebrity surnamed Du had a problem with Chi Shuyan because she had been instigated and was stupid. Otherwise, a smart enough person would understand that targeting Chi Shuyan in front of so many people wouldn’t end well.
This Du woman wasn’t as much of a schemer as the silent woman surnamed Ke next to her. This woman was also hostile toward Chi Shuyan, but she wouldn’t be used.
So, Chi Shuyan only glanced at her expressionlessly and didn’t say anything else.
Who would have thought that this woman, Du Lan, who was usually pampered, would be scolded by Director Wang and Film Emperor Ruan one after another? How could she stand it? She suppressed her anger and her face turned red. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the Chi woman in front of her was indeed as Qin Qing had said, a white lotus who knew how to pretend.
Looking at the man whom Du Lan had fallen for at first sight bow his head as he checked the Chi woman for injuries, Du Lan’s heart burned with jealousy. Was this woman worthy of such a good man’s treatment? She had to expose this woman’s true colors, so Du Lan lost her mind and blurted out, “B*tch, you seduce men and only know how to pretend to be innocent. She even seduced her best friend’s boyfriend. Stop pretending.” At the thought that the woman in front of her didn’t have much of a background, Du Lan confidently cursed at her, making the people on the side feel embarrassed.
Du Lan still wanted to continue cursing, but the man, who had been engrossed in examining the other woman for injuries, suddenly turned his head and stared fixedly at her with a pair of extremely gloomy eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Du Lan’s scalp turned numb with horror at the cold man’s gaze. She almost screamed in extreme fear. The man spat out coldly, “Say that again?”
His tone was filled with a strong threat and aura, which immediately made Du Lan’s face turn pale and she shut up obediently.
Not to mention a woman like Du Lan, even Director Wang and the others were terrified by the tall man’s cold gaze. Fortunately, at Director Wang’s instruction, Ke Mingmei reacted quickly and immediately left with Du Lan, and the atmosphere returned to normal.
After all the irrelevant people had left, Qi Zhenbai turned around expressionlessly. He lowered his head and crouched down in front of Chi Shuyan, taking off her shoes to examine her for other injuries.
Chi Shuyan was jolted awake by Qi Zhenbai’s action and hurriedly refused. By then, the man had already examined her feet and put her shoes back on her. He turned around and bent down as he said in a deep voice, “Come on, I’ll carry you back!”
Seeing that Chi Shuyan was about to leave, Yang Kun’s face changed, and he hurriedly said, “Master Chi, I actually saw a pair of hands push this rock in your direction from the top of the mountain just now.” Yang Kun was afraid that Chi Shuyan, as well as Director Wang and the others, wouldn’t believe him, so he continued, “Really, I’m not lying. I really saw it!” Yang Kun quickly said to Director Wang with a pale face, “Director Wang, accidents happen again and again. We should hurry and leave this place. We can film anywhere, so hurry and leave this place!”
