Cheng Su couldn’t tolerate it any longer. She gave Bo Chengcheng a call while Li Beinian was in the shower.
Bo Chengcheng simply smiled. “I know.”
Cheng Su was even more uptight to hear that. “How can you be so calm if you already know about it? Everyone’s criticizing Sister Nian now. If this goes on, her reputation will be ruined!”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already discussed this matter with Nian Nian. We’ll settle it tomorrow, once and for all.”
Cheng Su could barely deal with it!
They were all acting so mysterious.
But since they looked so confident, they definitely had a good enough plan for it.
Cheng Su tried to calm down, but the very next day, the topic really went out of hand on Weibo.
The “Top Search” topics were:
“Supporting Actress Attacks Lead Actress Out Of Jealousy”
“Legend Of The Dragon Pearl Lead Actress Almost Strangled To Death”
“Qin Liangzhi’s Lover Almost Killed”
…
They were all stories about Li Xueqing’s incident.
The next day, Li Xueqing’s bruise became the center of attention at the film set.
Li Xueqing appeared timid when Li Beinian arrived. “Beinian… what happened on Weibo yesterday…”
“Does your neck still hurt?” Li Beinian cut her off mid-sentence.
Li Xueqing was shocked. “Uh… a little…”
“Oh…” Li Beinian smiled and turned around. “Then let it continue hurting.”
Li Xueqing appeared aggrieved upon hearing that.
Yu Tian was enraged. “It’s bad enough that you aren’t apologizing, how could you say that!”
Li Beinian ignored her and sat before the mirror in the makeup studio.
Jor, the makeup artist, applied Li Xueqing’s makeup first before dealing with Li Beinian’s styling.
When she came over, she asked, “Were you the one who strangled her? The bruise looks real.”
Li Beinian did not respond.
Jor whispered, “You’d better settle the matter soon. This won’t do your reputation any good.”
“It’s settled.” Li Beinian glanced at her. “What time is it?”
Jor looked at the clock. “Seven-thirty.”
“About time.” Li Beinian applied her own lipstick. “We’re starting the shoot.”
Jor did not know how to respond to her.
She thought that Li Beinian meant it was “about time” the matter got settled. But she was referring to the shooting schedule?
“You’d better watch out for yourself.” Jor sighed. “You have great potential and the director likes you. Don’t waste it.”
Li Beinian looked at her calmly. “Don’t worry, Sister Jor. I know what to do.”
“As long as you have a plan for yourself.” Jor clipped up the last section of her hair. “Alright, all done.”
Li Xueqing had just gone through the script with the director and was all ready.
She looked as if she was trying to force a smile in Li Beinian’s presence. “Nian Nian…”
“Hm?” Li Beinian raised her brows. “If you’re ready, let’s begin.”
Director knew what had happened too. He simply nodded and said, “Alright, let’s start.”
It was the second scene.
Li Xueqing’s performance was a lot better. She got it done within just two NG’s.
During break time, Li Xueqing saw that Li Beinian appeared rather happy.
Seeing that no one else was around, she whispered, “It feels terrible to be scolded by everyone, yes?”
Li Beinian raised her brows. “Pretty interesting, actually.”
Li Xueqing sneered coldly. “You just won’t admit it!”
All of a sudden, Yu Tian came over. She looked pale as she said, “Sister Qing…”
Li Xueqing was unhappy with her attitude. “What’s it?”
“It’s on Weibo, look…”
