CH 11

Tian Jingzhi leaned on the sofa, looking very weak, as if suffering from a serious illness. In order to hide from Zhang Xuanxuan's prying eyes, she also put ice on her gauze. 

In the eyes of Ms.Qiu Meiyun, Zhang Xuanxuan is a typical "other's child", not only was she beautiful, but also smart and capable. As soon as she entered the entertainment industry, she was the most popular choice casting as a heroine. She had received enough rewards that could fill up a whole room. Mother Tian chatted with Zhang Xuanxuan with a cheerful face. When she mentioned Tian Jingzhi's injury, she gave her a stern look: “Didn’t I tell you to get along with the crew members? Who did you offend?”

Zhang Xuanxuan smiled, “She hasn’t offended anyone; she usually pretends to be good, so the whole crew loves her. Only the actress she was co-acting with hates her, but yesterday, the actresses who had the motive and the time to commit the crime had been dismissed…”

“So, this is the typlical ‘death from a unsuspecting murder’!”

Tian Jingzhi wasn’t listening, but stared at the doctor on the opposite side. He had opened his medicine box and took out the equipment for changing bandages. Tian Jingzhi dissuaded him, “No need. The doctor's dressing technique was really good yesterday. I should respect his hard work and ask him to do it tomorrow.” 

Zhang Xuanxuan glanced at the messy gauze on her hand, “Do you really think that bandaging technique is good?”

Tian Jingzhi was persistent, “The doctor spent a lot of effort on it. So, there is no need, thank you for worrying.”

The family doctor brought by Zhang Xuanxuan had a strong sense of professionalism. Tian Jingzhi is reluctant to change the dressing, but he was unwilling to compromise. Judging from his experience, Tian Jingzhi's current dressing will most likely lead to a wound infection. In this matter, Ms. Qiu Meiyun firmly stood by the doctor, she waved her hand impatiently: “She's just afraid of pain. Don't worry about her. Even if you have to hold her down, we’ll make her change.”

Tian Jingzhi jumped up in a panic, “I said no need! So there is no need!”

Mother Tian and Zhang Xuanxuan looked at each other and winked at each other tacitly. Who cares if she doesn’t want to. The two cooperatively held her arms, so she couldn't move. Zhang Xuanxuan persuaded her, “Tian Jingzhi, can you not be so self-willed? If this leaves a scar on your hand or develops into tinnitus, wouldn’t that be worse?” 

Tian Jingzhi cried, “Zhang Xuanxuan, let me go! Otherwise, I will break up with you! I will definitely break up with you!”

“Alright, alright. Once we change your bandage, we can break up.”Zhang Xuanxuan motioned to the family doctor. 

Tian Jingzhi was held down on the sofa, facing up. How would she explain it to them? They would never believe her even if she told the truth. Tian Jingzhi suddenly halted when she looked at the ceiling. Xue Lingqiao was hanging upside down on the ceiling like a big bat. Hope rekindled in her heart, and she blinked at him hastily, sending out distress signals. 

Xue Lingqiao nodded and scanned the situation in the room. He quickly locked onto the iodine bottle on the coffee table. He ripped off a button on his shirt and leaned over. The family doctor was about to change the gauze when the iodine bottle suddenly fell off the coffee table and shattered. 

The sudden breaking of the glass bottle startled several people in the room. 

“Without iodine, you can't disinfect, and if you can't disinfect, you don't need to change dressings…” Tian Jingzhi shouted happily, “Iodine is gone!” 

The family doctor looked back, thinking that he had knocked over the iodine bottle, and he apologized repeatedly. 

Tian Jingzhi escorted Mother Tian and Zhang Xuanxuan back into their car. Lowing the car window, Mother Tian looked at the obedient-looking Tian Jingzhi and instructed earnestly, “Remember to change your bandages tomorrow!” 

“Okay, I'll go early tomorrow morning!” Tian Jingzhi leaned into the car window with a sweet smile, “And my dearest friend, good luck filming!”

Zhang Xuanxuan laughed, “I also want to end our friendship now.” 

After the car started, Tian Jingzhi stood on the side of the road with a smile on her face, and reluctantly waved goodbye. She was performing so well, showing such complex emotions. After the car left, Tian Jingzhi turned around and frowned.
