Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment when they saw Shi Nianyao bursting in like this.
Mo Xicheng moved to stand directly in front of her, as though shielding her, and asked in a low voice, “What are you doing here?”
Shi Nianyao held her head high and said indignantly, “I was the one who hit her, why should I put you on the spot? They can come at me if they dare!”
Mo Xicheng was speechless.
Shi Nianyao even looked at Qiao Yiyi and brandished then a fist at her.
What was the big deal about being the investor’s woman?
Shi Nianyao herself was an investor!
Right now, she was just waiting to see who would dare attack her idol.
He was her idol and she had him covered.
Shi Nianyao glared fiercely at the man sitting on the chair.
To her surprise, his angry expression suddenly melted away.
His gaze shifted back and forth between Shi Nianyao and Mo Xicheng a few times, before he finally said to Mo Xicheng, “The girlfriend you were talking about is her?”
He had unconsciously relaxed his tone.
As long as it wasn’t his Qiao Lian, everything was good.
Qiao Yiyi, however, immediately nodded and said, “It’s her! Second Brother, you have to teach her a lesson!”
Shi Nianyao laughed derisively and sneered, “If you’re so capable, then fight me personally! Getting a man to help you because you can’t do it yourself… What are you good for?”
Everyone watched, dumbfounded.
Mo Xicheng held Shi Nianyao back and looked at the investor. “Mr. Lu, so what are you planning to do now?”
Saying these words was like staking everything he had.
The worst that could happen was that he would lose his supporting role in this movie.
Everyone now turned simultaneously to look at the investor.
After all, Mo Xicheng was the supporting actor in this cast and was considered a veteran celebrity. The director was in a dilemma too… Should he plead on behalf of this actor?
Qiao Yiyi, on the other hand, widened her eyes with delight and urged him, “Second Brother, punish him!”
Thus, it would make her status in the filming crew clear to everyone and reinforce that she, Qiao Yiyi, had the last say.
However, just as everyone was holding their breaths and expecting an angry outburst from the investor, they suddenly heard a barely audible laughter coming from him instead.
Laughter?
Were they hearing correctly? They turned to look at the investor.
The investor stood up and walked out of the room, amused.
Everyone in the room looked at each other in dismay.
What was going on?
What should they do now?
Qiao Yiyi was the only person who heard the investor mumble as he was walking out, “Good that it’s not her…”
Good that it’s not her.
Qiao Yiyi’s face turned pale as she realized that he wasn’t upset because of her.
–
Shen Liangchuan had gone out.
As she was alone in the lounge and bored at this point, Qiao Lian overheard an exchange between some people walking past the door. They were talking about what had just happened between Shi Nianyao and Qiao Yiyi.
“Both that extra and Mo Xicheng have been asked to go and meet the investor. Who knows what will happen!”
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank at once when she heard this.
That was the end.
Shi Nianyao was going to get into trouble.
Without thinking twice, she opened the lounge door and approached a passerby, asking, “Where are Mo Xicheng and the rest? Which room?
Slightly surprised, the crew member pointed at a lounge situated not too far away.
Qiao Lian hurried in that direction.
As she broke into a run, she saw the door to that lounge suddenly open.
Almost immediately, a familiar, tall and large figure walked out of the lounge.
The moment she saw him, Qiao Lian’s muscles stiffened. She stood frozen and rooted to the ground as though she had been struck by a lightning bolt.
How could she have forgotten?
Who else could possibly be Qiao Yiyi’s backing here apart from her great Second Brother?
Lu Zenan… How unexpected that they met here!
At that moment, it seemed like the man had also turned to look in her direction…
