s.h.i.+ Yi was listening to Li Bingbing"s conversation with her husband. She was calmer than how he expected her to be... which is good.
Li Bingbing was someone he never wanted to cross with. Even his sister, s.h.i.+ Enxi didn"t want to do it.
After the call ended, Li Bingbing turned her gaze to s.h.i.+ Enxi. "Whether or not what you are saying about those merchants are true, I will still help you. I can"t allow anyone to bully my baby sister, right? As for s.h.i.+ Anhao-"
"Leave her to me, Jiejie." s.h.i.+ Enxi interrupted. "She"s mine to play with."
If there was anyone who s.h.i.+ Enxi was willing to personally deal with, it was none other than s.h.i.+ Anhao.
"Alright. I"ll contact Mello once I"ve got something from Xian Yu."
Lu Mello gave her a grateful nod, he turned to Nian Jiezhen, "Sister Zhen, I will need your help in looking deep into cases similar to this."
Li Bingbing and the others stayed a bit longer and even joined Lu Mello and s.h.i.+ Enxi for dinner. Nian Jiezhen and Xia Meilin left after dinner, but Li Bingbing stayed for a while longer.
"s.h.i.+ Yi, you can wait for me in the car, I have something to ask Enxi." Li Bingbing went and stood beside s.h.i.+ Enxi.
"Okay." s.h.i.+ Yi went to his car and waited for her.
"What is it, Jiejie?"
Li Bingbing heaved out a heavy sigh before asking, "Have Mengjie contacted you?"
"Mengjie?"
She didn"t hear from Lu Mengjie for almost a year already. It was not unusual since she would go out of reach for months. If there was someone she would usually contact, it was none other than her half-brother, Xia Liqin.
"No, she hasn"t contacted me. How about Liqin?"
"Mengmeng would usually contact Qinqing every month but he isn"t receiving any calls from her, neither can he contact her. Xian Yu cannot find her and so do I. That girl is so good at hiding but I can"t help but get worried... What if something already happened to her?"
"I"ll be more worried about the other person"s safety." Lu Mello chuckled a bit, "Mengmeng is... not easy to take care of."
Li Bingbing raised a brow, "And what the h.e.l.l do you mean by that, Mello?"
"W-What he means is that... Mengjie is not someone easy to mess with, Jiejie. Also, she can"t just disappear from the face of the earth."
"Her men doesn"t know where she is."
"You asked them?"
"Liqin did. Xian Yu is still looking for her." She sighed again. "That girl is in serious trouble once she comes home. I have already told Xian Yu back then not to spoil her so much."
A small smile appeared on s.h.i.+ Enxi"s lips, "I"ll contact you if I see her or if she calls me, Jiejie."
"Thank you, Enxi. I should take my leave now."
"Take care."
After Li Bingbing left, Lu Mello brought s.h.i.+ Enxi inside.
"Mello, what do you think happened to Mengjie?" s.h.i.+ Enxi was really close to Lu Mengjie since they grew up together. She also couldn"t help but get worried after what Li Bingbing said to her.
"That... I really do not know. One thing I know, Mengmeng will show herself to everyone if she wanted to."
Weeks pa.s.sed ever since and the first day for the movie Fan Xiao Yao was in finally arrived.
The shooting was going on smoothly, especially for Fan Xiao Yao. She thought that everything was going well but w.a.n.g Ansheng has something else stored for her.
Fan Xiao Yao was wearing a long green dress, for the next scene. While heading to the scene, she suddenly felt the end of her dress being stuck on making her slip all of the sudden towards the props.
"Watch out!"
"Ah!"
"Wen Zhou, are you alright?" w.a.n.g Ansheng rushed to the little boy"s side.
It was a good thing that Wen Zhou was only a few feet away from the props that fell or else, he could have gotten an injury.
"I"m fine."
w.a.n.g Ansheng stood and looked at Fan Xiao Yao, scolding her, "Fan Xiao Yao, what are you doing? How did you manage to fall on such a smooth ground? Was this intentional?!"
Fan Xiao Yao was surprised by the sudden turn of events, she quickly denied, "I didn"t do it in purpose."
"Do you know how dangerous it was? Wen Zhou could have been got hurt!"
Was... w.a.n.g Ansheng targeting her and making her look bad in front of the crew?
Fan Xiao Yao knew that w.a.n.g Ansheng didn"t like her but does she have to go this far?
Fan Xiao Yao bowed and apologized to a crew member, "I"m sorry for messing up the place."
"Don"t worry, no one is hurt and nothing serious happened to the props..."
"Who knows if she did it on purpose..." w.a.n.g Ansheng insisted.
Could she be the one who stepped...
Fan Xiao Yao"s eyes turned cold as she stood straight, "I don"t know how I suddenly tripped but I never did it on purpose."
She looked around and smiled upon seeing a CCTV, "Look, this place has a camera, do you want to check out what really happened?"
Fan Xiao Yao held her skirt and looked at the end, " I wonder why my dress has another footprint..."
She turned her gaze back to w.a.n.g Ansheng who started to sweat coldly, "I sincerely apologized because I caused trouble to others but since you question the purpose of my falling down, shouldn"t we get to the bottom of this?"
"Forget it, let"s not waste time and get to work." w.a.n.g Ansheng"s secretary interrupted.
"S-she"s right, filming comes first." one of the crew members said.
Qiao Nuan gritted her teeth as she watched w.a.n.g Ansheng go, she whispered, "Xiao Yao, you shouldn"t let that b.i.t.c.h go."
"Never mind, Xiao Nuan. If she tries something next time, she won"t get away so easily. Besides, look at the way others are looking at her."
No one spoke about it but the gaze that the crew members gave w.a.n.g Ansheng was enough to tell that they didn"t like her at all, after what happened. No matter how nice she would act towards others, it wouldn"t move their hearts knowing what kind of person she really was.
