Chapter 563: Chapter 563 The Only Friend
Xia Weibao smiled, but it wasn’t quite a smile.
To these people’s responses, it was unexpected yet made sense.
The entertainment industry is a place of envy. Now, with her fame at its peak, so many were green-eyed.
From Lin Mier to Lin Siqian to Jiang Ming, were there few who wanted to bring her down?
Every single person here, isn’t each one aggravated by her presence?
They all wished to see her plummet to the bottom of the valley!
As long as they kept their mouths shut, this dead cat would be on her back for sure, and who would speak out for her?
She understood the principle: everyone wanted to climb higher.
And to do so, one must step over the obstacles in their path.
She understood, yet her heart grew cold.
In the same production team, yet so heartless.
As Xia Weibao’s eyes turned colder, Zhuang Xuejun gave her a tug.
Then she moved a small step forward and stood in front of her, striking a protective pose.
“I can attest that I saw Baby enter the makeup room just before and didn’t come out until it was time to shoot.”
Xia Weibao looked up, her gaze flickering uncertainly at Zhuang Xuejun.
Huang Wenan’s face was stern, “Xuejun, stop kidding around. I was clearly discussing the script with you just now, and from where we stood, we couldn’t see the makeup room.”
Chu Ying sneered with contempt, “Xuejun, I always thought you were upright, but I didn’t expect you to make a false testimony for Xia Weibao, how disappointing.”
“The ones making false testimonies are you! Simply based on one-sided statements from these two, you conclude it was Baby who did it?”
“There’s a witness, and she has no alibi, isn’t that enough?”
Zhuang Xuejun was at a loss for words, feeling wronged.
She believed in Xia Weibao, she would never do such a thing!
Before she could continue her rebuttal, Wan Ke interrupted her.
“Enough, everyone shut up. The matter is clear now, don’t waste everyone’s time.”
As Wan Ke spoke, he looked at Xia Weibao, “Xia Weibao, you harmed Chu Ying. Considering we are all from the same production and that no serious injury was caused, I won’t call the police. Apologize to Chu Ying in a Weibo post.”
Xia Weibao wanted to laugh, post an apology?
If she really did so, then the accusation of her being jealous and committing such a devious act would be confirmed!
“Director Wan, are you so sure it was me? Without any evidence, you’ve decided my guilt just like that?”
Wan Ke really wanted to roll his eyes, in his production, someone actually dared to defy him.
“Xiao Wang and Old Liu are the witnesses, and that’s enough. If you want to deny it further, then I’ll call the police.
You better think carefully. Once the police are involved, it won’t be easy to resolve.”
Once you’re in the police station, guilty or not, your reputation is destroyed.
Didn’t that happen to Xu Jiayang? Just one day at the police station.
Even though he was eventually released due to insufficient evidence, the internationally renowned director fell from grace.
Wan Ke reckoned Xia Weibao wouldn’t dare call the police because she couldn’t prove her innocence.
However, would Her Majesty the Empress be threatened?
She crossed her arms, “Alright then, call the police. I’d like to see who is framing me.”
“Framing?” Wan Ke sneered, “Do you dare say you didn’t do it?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare.”
“What evidence do you have?”
Chu Ying, who had finished applying medication, stood up.
She walked up to her, “Who can vouch for you that you weren’t there at the time?”
She was certain that just then, only Xia Weibao was alone in the makeup room.
She wouldn’t be able to find a witness!
