“Oh. Okay, understood, Director.”

Xu Xiyan rubbed her hands and was itching to go again. When the second take began, she had the right look in her eyes that looked venomous to the bone.

She grabbed Yun Qingchen’s hair and gave several hard slaps to her face and there was a stupefied look in Xu Xinrou’s eyes as Xu Xiyan walloped her. When it was time for Xu Xiyan to kick her, Xu Xinrou had shielded herself with her arms in panic. The Director cried out to stop the take.

“What’s the matter, Xinrou? Are you not in good condition to act today?”

Xu Xinrou herself was a famous A-list star; she could not stand being bullied. “No, Director. Jing Xi was hitting me for real instead of faking it.”

She was right for not faking it!

It was not Xu Xiyan who was taking advantage of the shoot to have her revenge against Xu Xinrou, but it was Huang Guoqiang who was taking advantage of the shoot to vent his anger.

He had already found out the truth of something. That is, back then when Qi Liya had accidentally fallen while doing wire work, it was Xu Xinrou who had directed someone to tamper with it.

Huang Guoqiang asked nonchalantly as he unscrewed the cap of his drinking bottle and took a sip of tea, “Xinrou, what’s wrong with you recently? Are you under too much pressure?”

“I’m sorry, Director. I probably didn’t get enough rest.”

Xu Xinrou could not explain her grievances and also could not give him a specific reason. Since the LK commercial shoot, she had become forgetful.

She did not give “The Sweet Angel” perfume much thought, and she didn’t know that it was the perfume that had caused her forgetfulness.

Instead, she attributed the cause of the problem to Jing Xi. She discovered that as long she had a scene with Jing Xi, there would be a chance as high as 99% that she would forget her lines.

That woman was going all out in her performance. She must have been the one who was deliberately pressuring her.

Finally, after twelve takes, the face-slapping scene was passed just barely by the director. It was thanks to her assistant Mou Ling, who had helped her cheat by writing her lines on a large board so she would pass.

After the shoot, Xu Xinrou’s face was already swollen like a sponge cake. Mou Ling asked her, “Sister Xinrou, what happened to you today? Did you forget to read the script? Do you want me to help you with your lines?”

“No need!” Xu Xinrou snatched the script from Mou Ling’s hand. She was in a very bad mood.

Xu Xinrou glanced outside and saw Jing Xi chatting and laughing away happily with the director and the other crew members. She felt an indescribable hatred that seeped into her very bones.
