Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Disaster’s Root
The sudden confession left Xia Weibao’s face tinged with red.
Oh my gosh, a cute girl said she likes me, how embarrassing.
Ruan Shushu gazed at her with complete admiration, “I’m your number one fan, Baby, I really super like you.
When I saw you perform the classical dance, I was truly amazed, so beautiful.”
The more she spoke, the more excited Ruan Shushu became.
Perhaps because she played the guqin, she had a special fondness for things with an ancient flair.
A beauty like Xia Weibao, who exuded classical charm from head to toe, really hit the spot for her.
Xia Weibao smiled and patted Ruan Shushu’s head, “Good, I’ll dance for you in the future.”
Besides “Gentle as Water,” she could perform any other classical dance.
“Really?” Ruan Shushu smiled so happily.
Suddenly, she felt that being hit was worth it.
“Take this ointment, apply it every three hours, it has an anesthetic effect.”
“Oh oh, wow, Baby actually gave me a gift.”
Girl, it’s just medicine, not a gift.
Xu Jiayang hurried over and seeing that Lu Shushu was alright, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Xia Weibao’s expression turned stern, “Director Xu, the rope couldn’t have snapped without reason.”
Bringing up the matter, Xu Jiayang’s face also became serious, “I’ll investigate.”
Equipment failure resulting in personal injury was the crew’s responsibility.
Fortunately, there were no fatalities.
“Baby, it was two women, I just heard behind the big tree at the back of the storeroom, two women saying they had bribed a stagehand, they wanted to crush you to death, right, they are fans of Lin Siqian.”
Xia Weibao’s eyes widened, then filled with anger.
That meant, this time it was completely her fault that Ruan Shushu got hurt!
Xu Jiayang’s face turned even uglier, he looked at Ruan Shushu, “I will give you an explanation for this matter, and also, the medical expenses will be reimbursed by the production crew.”
Xia Weibao immediately extended her hand.
“What?” Xu Jiayang was puzzled.
“Didn’t you say you would reimburse the medical expenses? I treated her wound, give it to me.”
It wasn’t long before Sister Tong arrived.
Seeing her daughter with a busted head, she burst into tears.
Standing aside, Xia Weibao wore a look of apology, “Sister Tong, I’m sorry, I got Shushu into this.”
Sister Tong wiped away her tears, looking at Xia Weibao with some reproach.
She wanted to scold her, but since Ruan Shushu had explained everything and it wasn’t Xia Weibao’s fault,
and considering Xia Weibao was her own artist,
she didn’t say anything.
But her expression was very ugly.
Only after Xia Weibao left did Sister Tong take Ruan Shushu’s hand with a heavy heart.
“Shushu, why are you so silly.”
Seeing her mother so upset, Ruan Shushu felt a bit heartbroken, “I didn’t think too much at the time, when I saw Baby in danger, I just rushed over.”
Sister Tong was somewhat exasperated, “You, why do you always think of others? Mom knows you’re kind, but sometimes, a little selfishness is necessary.
At least you shouldn’t let yourself be hurt.
‘Every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost’ isn’t entirely wrong, you know.”
Ruan Shushu frowned, slightly disagreeing.
But after all, it was her mother, and of course, she wouldn’t argue.
As one of Huaxia’s most influential directors in the past, Xu Jiayang’s competence was still commendable, and he quickly found out the identities of the two women.
Both were unemployed drifters in society, fanatically supporting Lin Siqian.
Seeing Lin Siqian get defamed, they blamed all their grievances on Xia Weibao.
And the stagehand that helped them was the boyfriend of one of the women.
