Chapter 898: Waiting for A New Day, Or Death (5)
When Liu Wei saw Li Beinian’s expression, her fear immediately subsided.
Holding Li Beinian’s hand, Liu Wei took a deep breath and looked as though she had just survived a disaster. She shouted, “Oh my G.o.d, you scared me. I thought I knocked you out. I didn’t think I used that much force!” As she spoke, Liu Wei reached out to touch Li Beinian’s forehead and said, “How are you feeling now?”
Feeling a little displaced by everyone’s reaction, she shook her head and said, “No, I’m just a little dizzy.” As she spoke, she saw the ambulance behind them.
Two medics came down from the ambulance and immediately came forward.
Cheng Su ran up anxiously and examined Li Beinian top to bottom. She raised her voice in concern, “Sister Nian, you scared me! I went out to buy some drinks and when I returned, I heard you had fainted, my G.o.d!”
Bai Yuan too, came running up with two cartons of drinks in his arms. He dropped them on the ground and asked the others, “What’s the situation? Hurry up, isn’t the ambulance here? Hurry up and come over here!”
Li Beinian was a little stunned and frowned. She immediately reached out to stop them, saying loudly, “It’s nothing much, I suddenly felt a little dizzy. I’ll just lie down for a while and I’ll be fine.”
Liu Wei saw that color was gradually returning to Li Beinian’s face and the girl was recovering, hence she felt more at ease. Nevertheless, she asked, “Are you sure? The ambulance is here. Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup? Something like that could be serious.”
“Yes, your Sister Wei is right,” said Jiang Chun, who was half made up and standing by the side. “Hurry up and get going or your husband’s wrath will be upon us.”
Someone laughed in response to this remark.
“I’m fine.” Li Beinian waved her hand. “There’s no need to go to the hospital. I’ll be fine after a rest. I have to hurry home after filming.”
The director smiled when he saw that Li Beinian was energetic again. Liu Wei, too, looked relieved.
The doctors and nurses who had come to the rescue, on the other hand, were not too pleased, but given the good att.i.tude of the staff, the matter was quickly and peacefully resolved.
Except that, after what had just happened, everyone was a little nervous. Having made sure that Li Beinian was alright, they gave her an anti-fatigue drink and continued filming.
Liu Wei, though, had not completely recovered from the shock she got from this episode.
However, being professional actresses, Li Beinian and Liu Wei quickly left this episode behind and neither of them mentioned it again.
To Li Beinian, it was only a small matter.
Alas, the crew was not small and there were many people in it.
In a large nest, there will always be some pests hiding in an invisible corner, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
After filming, Li Beinian sat down on the chair, exhausted.
The chair was very large and the sofa was very soft. As soon as she sat down, she sank into it. It was so comfortable that her eyelids started fighting hard to stay up.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Cheng Su ran over with her phone and shouted, “Sister Nian, it’s Nian’s Hubby!”
Li Beinian was startled by his shout.
She looked up and saw Mu Xichen’s face on the cell phone screen.
Mu Xichen looked like he was driving. Behind him, a leather car seat was visible. Further back, she could see busy moving traffic.
The girl did not feel the least bit better upon seeing her man. She took the phone and gave a loud and long yawn, then said “I’m so tired.”
Mu Xichen frowned slightly. He looked at Li Beinian’s slightly flushed face and said with obvious displeasure, “Were you knocked out just then?”
Knocked out!
That sounded too serious.
Li Beinian became alert when she heard this. “Who did you hear this from? Nonsense.”
“What happened to your face?” Mu Xichen stared at her left cheek. “Did Liu Wei hit you?”
“We were filming. This was a very important scene and I wasn’t in top form. We had to do a few takes.”
So it would have naturally been a little red.
“Come out here,” Mu Xichen said expressionlessly. Then, Li Beinian noticed that his car had pulled up.
Li Beinian was surprised. “You’re here?”
Mu Xichen did not speak. The static image on the phone blacked out and returned.
Now the scene behind Mu Xichen was rather familiar.
Wasn’t this the filming studio?
Li Beinian was stunned for a moment. “You really are here. What are you doing here?”
Mu Xichen glanced at her. “Settling scores.”
Li Beinian was rather stunned by that answer and asked, “Who are you settling scores with? d.a.m.n, we’re filming and we’re just doing our jobs. Don’t go crazy already!”
After Li Beinian said this, she saw the last of Mu Xichen’s meaningful gaze before the screen blacked out.
“d.a.m.n it.” Li Beinian got onto her feet.
Looking at the agitated girl, Cheng Su tilted her head in confusion and said, “Sister Nian, the filming’s all done. Aren’t you going to remove your makeup?”
Because of the scene they were shooting, Li Beinian’s clothes and makeup were rather pathetic looking. But it could have been the makeup, or that Li Beinian was really unwell, that she was now looking quite pale.
She was wearing a thick military uniform with two layers of clothing underneath. Given the hot weather, she was drenched in perspiration.
At Cheng Su’s reminder, Li Beinian suddenly looked alarmed. She peered in the mirror, and realized that her left cheek was swollen.
d.a.m.n it, no wonder he kept staring at her face!
Was this guy going after Liu Wei to settle scores?
Li Beinian had a bad gut feeling and immediately turned around, saying, “Hurry, get me my clothes. I need to get changed!”
Seeing how anxious Li Beinian was, although Cheng Su didn’t understand what she was trying to do, she quickly responded, “Oh, oh, okay, okay. Coming right up!”
Cheng Su had been working with Li Beinian for some time and was very efficient.
While Li Beinian was changing, Cheng Su prepared the makeup remover and instantly got ready to remove her makeup.
Li Beinian removed her makeup and wiped her face dry. She found a tube of red lipstick and applied it on her mouth. Immediately, she looked much better.
By the time she stepped out, Mu Xichen was already there.
At this point, he didn’t look too pleasant. Liu Wei, Jiang Chun, and Bai Yuan were standing in front of him… the situation didn’t appear too harmonious!
Li Beinian quickly ran towards them. She leaped to Mu Xichen’s side and circled her arms around his. “What brings you here?”
