Lu Mian watched as Jiang Zhi handed over the necklace. Just as he was about to retrieve it, Jiang Zhi tugged at his sleeve.
“Mian…” Jiang Zhi’s slender fingers tugged at Lu Mian’s sleeve, leading him to a place where no one was around.
“Zhi Zhi… That was my gift to you. It’s from my heart.” Lu Mian pretended to look at Jiang Zhi with puppy eyes. He lifted up Jiang Zhi’s hair and tucked it behind her ear. Lowering his body, he inched closer to her. “I’ll feel bad if you do this.”
Jiang Zhi’s ears turned red from Lu Mian’s teasing. She looked at him with a reproachful look before she softened her voice, “Be good. Isn’t this an emergency? You see, if it weren’t for this necklace, I, as an investor, would lose a lot of money… time is money in this industry. This necklace is needed elsewhere far more than my neck. You bought it to make me happy. I’ll be even happier using it in the show now. Ah Mian… can you be happy for me?”
When Lu Mian saw the cunning woman in front of him, his eyes flashed and he pinched her waist as a punishment. “Only since you say so…”
Lu Mian pointed at his own lips after he said that. It was obvious that he wanted a kiss.
Jiang Zhi raised her eyebrows, stood on her tiptoes, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him. Her voice was charming. “You have to be good to earn it.”
Before Lu Mian could react, Jiang Zhi had already let go of him and returned to the set.
Lu Mian stroked his lips with his fingers. What a vixen!
After changing the necklace, everything went on smoothly.
Jiang Xue performed exceptionally well. She brought out the presence of a loving mother perfectly. It was obvious that she had done her homework. Even Wu Dai, who was acting with her, was praised by Director Zheng.
“Not bad at all. Jiang Xue, that work was almost mystical. I could not be any less convinced that I was watching a real-life mother. Wu Dai, you played along very well.” Director Zheng would not easily praise people unless they were exceptionally good actors.
This made Jiang Xue and Wu Dai’s confidence increase a little. Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Zhi with a red face and gratitude.
Jiang Xue’s eyes were red. If it were not for Director Jiang’s appearance today, she would not have been able to perform at her fullest and shoot such a scene…
Jiang Zhi smiled at Jiang Xue and gave her a thumbs up. She mouthed, “Bravo!”
During the halftime break, a group of people gathered around and gossiped.
“I think it was from the recent auction, but it could not possibly be…”
“That’s impossible. How did sister Jiang have the money to buy this? But it does look very expensive and dazzling. It really looks classy!”
“Yeah, it’s too beautiful. I want it too!”
When the other staff members saw Jiang Zhi resting, they exchanged glances and ran over to surround her. “Sister Jiang, how much is this necklace of yours?”
“Yeah, it’s too beautiful. Who gave it to you?”
“Sister Jiang, just tell us. Tell us how much it is. Let us give up on this idea.”
Soon, they became the center of attention. More and more people came over to ask questions and surrounded Jiang Zhi in the middle.
From afar, Lu Xuan’s eyes were dark. Why? Why was it her again? Why did this b*tch always tackle each problem so flawlessly?
“Sister Xuan, Sister Jiang’s necklace is really nice. Aren’t you going to ask her?” A staff member was about to walk over when he suddenly saw Lu Xuan standing at the side and watching the situation from afar.
Lu Xuan put away the dissatisfaction on her face and mocked him, “No need. What’s so good about a group of people chattering? I don’t think that necklace is pretty.”
“If you think it’s pretty, then hurry up and go. Otherwise, if it’s too late, you won’t be able to squeeze in.”
The staff member left resentfully, finding it odd. Since it wasn’t pretty, why did she keep staring at Sister Jiang’s neck? Why was she giving it so much of her attention?
