In the subsequent filming session, Ling Sheng refused to let Jun Shiyan follow her no matter what. She promised him that she would be safe and told him to wait at home.
Heavens knew that when he was around, all the workers would tremble in fear no matter what was done.
Director Feng Yao did not even dare speak loudly to her, let alone criticize her.
This had seriously affected her working mode and made her lose her ability to judge her own performance. After all, no matter what she did or what she filmed, Director Feng would approve.
One should note that this was not what had happened on the first day of filming. Whenever she had not been in the right state and her performance had not been good enough, Director Feng had suggested a retake.
When Ling Sheng finished filming two scenes and went to the washroom, she suddenly heard someone arguing in the greenery beside her. Actually, there was a voice. That voice belonged to Feng Yao.
She was not very curious, especially when she heard others gossip. However, she stopped in her tracks when she entered the wrong room and perked her ears sensitively.
She then looked over quietly. Feng Yao was with a girl who looked very familiar. She was his assistant. She was not very pretty, but she knew how to dress and was very fashionable.
“My period hasn’t come.”
“Didn’t I tell you to take the morning-after pill?”
“Director Feng, contraception after the incident is not 100% effective. You’ve been married for so many years, yet you don’t even know this?”
“What do you want then?”
“I know you won’t divorce your wife. If you give me five million, we won’t owe each other anything. I’ll act like I was bitten by a wild dog.”
“Don’t even think about it. You barged in suddenly that day, and you didn’t say no. I didn’t force you. You volunteered.”
“Director Feng, what do you think will happen if I send the video to your wife? Or perhaps I can sell it to the paparazzi directly.”
“You were the one who spiked my drink?”
“Director Feng, don’t accuse me. I’m a victim. How would I know who spiked your drink? However, you were really fierce that day. If you need anything in the future, you can look for me anytime.”
“You’re asking for too much. I don’t have that much money.”
“I don’t care. If I expose the video, what do you think will happen? Your wife will divorce you, and your adultery will be exposed. You will be torn apart by the netizens. Your career will deteriorate drastically, and no one will ask you to film a movie or advertisement anymore. Think about it carefully. Is money more important than your reputation, career, and family?”
“You…”
“Director Feng, think about it carefully. Come and find me when you’ve thought it through.”
When Ling Sheng saw the female assistant leave, Feng Yao slumped against a tree trunk, his face ashen and his eyes full of regret and guilt.
“Director Feng.” Ling Sheng walked over.
When Feng Yao saw Ling Sheng, his eyes widened in shock, and his voice became tense. “You… You heard everything?”
Ling Sheng said, “I don’t care about your relationship with Assistant Wang. I just want to ask, did you enter the wrong room the day you checked in?”
“No, I took the wrong room card.” Feng Yao had already given up on himself. Now that things had come to this, there was no point in denying it. Besides, he believed that Ling Sheng would not reveal the secret or threaten him with this.
The day she had checked in, Feng Yao and Gu Shen had taken the wrong room cards. When Du Manqing had changed her room card, she had given Gu Shen’s room card to her.
Feng Yao had just regained his energy when Assistant Wang had come to his room to bring him something. By then, the man had already lost his senses, and he could not help mistaking Assistant Wang for his wife. Naturally, they’d had sex.
