Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Her face isn’t made of steel,” said s.h.i.+ Jin with a laugh.
“That’s good.” Fu Xiuyuan’s tone was calm, but there was an unconcealable sternness between his brows. At least Chu Jia was tactful and didn’t go for s.h.i.+ Jin. Otherwise, no matter how she was banned, it wouldn’t be able to appease his anger.
“Don’t worry too much, I’ve already thought it through. Let’s go, I’ll go see Chu Jia.”
s.h.i.+ Jin stood up.
Fu Xiuyuan wrapped his arm around her waist. “I just arrived and you’re going to see Chu Jia?”
“What else can I do?” Before s.h.i.+ Jin could finish her sentence, Fu Xiuyuan sealed her lips.
She had gone for a volunteer medical consultation for a few days and hadn’t come back. The moment she came back, she was already on set here. Fu Xiuyuan missed her terribly. This longing turned into this kiss that sealed her lips.
After the kiss, s.h.i.+ Jin raised her eyebrows. “Mr. Fu, I really have to go and see Chu Jia now. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain what happened today.”
Fu Xiuyuan let go of her. “You really don’t need me to accompany you?”
“Yes, I can settle it myself,” s.h.i.+ Jin said softly.
She opened the door and walked towards Chu Jia’s dressing room.
Chu Jia had already finished her interview and returned to her dressing room. She was enjoying the support on Weibo.
s.h.i.+ Jin knocked on the door and Chu Jia came over to open it. When she saw that it was her, she seemed to have expected it. She smiled and said, “s.h.i.+ Jin, are you looking for me?”
“Yes, I’m here to look for you and talk about what happened between us.” s.h.i.+ Jin walked in and closed the door.
Chu Jia was not afraid at all. Now that she had the upper hand, it would not be easy for s.h.i.+ Jin to turn things around.
It was impossible for s.h.i.+ Jin to do anything to her in public, right?
She smiled and said, “I know that you didn’t do it on purpose, so I didn’t blame you. s.h.i.+ Jin, we are considered acquaintances. Whether you hit me or scold me, I will consider the big picture and not let our personal grudges affect the filming.”
She suspected that s.h.i.+ Jin had a recording pen with her, so her words were flawless.
“So, there’s no need to apologize. I’ve never blamed you, have I? I’ve already made things clear with the reporters,” Chu Jia said as she crossed her arms.
s.h.i.+ Jin smiled and looked at Chu Jia. After her experience in the entertainment industry, Chu Jia had really grown up. She was no longer as frivolous as before and did things in a sloppy manner. It was indeed worth celebrating.
“Although you don’t need me to apologize, I still feel an apology is necessary.” s.h.i.+ Jin took a step forward and walked up to Chu Jia.
“Oh, since you want to apologize, then say it. I’m not blaming you anyway. My face will be fine after resting for two days.”
The corners of s.h.i.+ Jin’s lips curled up. “I hope I can apologize to you publicly and let everyone know that our matter was indeed a misunderstanding.”
Chu Jia did not know what s.h.i.+ Jin was up to. If she apologized publicly, it would not be beneficial for her. After all, the scars on her face were makeup effects. The more people saw her, the greater the risk of being seen through.
“No need. Don’t make it so troublesome. Just tell me directly. I still have things to tend to and don’t have time to cooperate with you.” Chu Jia refused.
s.h.i.+ Jin took a step closer and stepped on Chu Jia’s foot. Chu Jia struggled, but was unable to break free. She said angrily, “What are you doing? s.h.i.+ Jin, what are you trying to do?”
“Not doing anything.” She pushed Chu Jia back into the chair and exerted more force on her feet.
Chu Jia heard the sound of bones breaking. She said nervously, “s.h.i.+ Jin, what did you do to me? My feet, my feet…”
An intense pain came, causing her expression to change drastically.
“s.h.i.+ Jin, you broke my foot!” Chu Jia was really angry this time. “I’m going to sue you, how dare you!”
“Chu Jia, I’ll be waiting for you at the apology conference this afternoon.” s.h.i.+ Jin retracted her leg. Chu Jia raised her hand and wanted to slap s.h.i.+ Jin on the face. However, her injured leg could not exert any force. Her body tilted and she fell back into the chair.
Chu Jia screamed, “s.h.i.+ Jin, I won’t let this matter rest like this! I want you to pay with your life!”
s.h.i.+ Jin walked out slowly.
Chu Jia’s a.s.sistant rushed in and saw that her feet were swollen. “Jiajia, are you alright?”
“It’s s.h.i.+ Jin. She injured my ankle. Call the doctor!” Chu Jia panicked. She did not want her injury to worsen by moving. “No, no, call the doctor from the company to come here.”
There was a doctor in the company who worked with them regularly, and he was soon called over.
After the doctor’s examination, medicine was applied to Chu Jia’s injury.
The doctor reminded her, “You need to rest for at least half a month. It’s best if you don’t walk or do any strenuous exercise for this half a month.”
“I need to film, I can’t rest for that long.”
“That can’t be helped. If you insist on exercising, not only will your injuries heal slowly, but there will also be serious repercussions.”
When Chu Jia heard this, she was distraught.
Apart from the filming of “Glory of the Song Dynasty,” she had other work opportunities. If she were to rest for that long, all her opportunities would be gone.
s.h.i.+ Jin!
She gritted her teeth. It was all s.h.i.+ Jin’s fault. She had never expected that s.h.i.+ Jin would appear in her dressing room and hurt her in the name of an apology.
s.h.i.+ Jin was ruthless!
“Immediately attend the apology press conference prepared by s.h.i.+ Jin!” Chu Jia didn’t want to be hurt for nothing.
Her original magnanimity was gone.
The apology press conference was ready.
In order to create hype, Chu Jia had already arranged for reporters to be present.
This time, Fu Xiuyuan naturally wouldn’t hand the entire scene over to Chu Jia. Of course, he didn’t need to prepare special reporters. He just needed them to stand in a neutral position.
On the internet, the netizens had also prepared peanuts, melon seeds, cola, and soda, waiting to watch the drama unfold. Chu Jia’s fans were also waiting for justice.
The spectators were even more excited.
An apology press conference, where the involved parties personally apologized. This was simply an unprecedented annual event in the entertainment industry, attracting countless people to wait.
Before s.h.i.+ Jin appeared, Chu Jia came in with a wheelchair.
“The person apologizing didn’t come, but Chu Jia came first?”
“s.h.i.+ Jin doesn’t seem sincere.”
“I believe our daughter didn’t do such a thing.”
“The commenter above must be suffering from cerebral palsy. s.h.i.+ Jin has already admitted it herself. Why are you still trying to cover it up?”
“Does s.h.i.+ Jin want to apologize or deny it?”
Chu Jia’s eyes were red from crying. She was no longer as magnanimous as before as she said, “s.h.i.+ Jin injured me. I always thought that it was normal for her to stumble, so I didn’t want her to apologize, nor did I want to cause trouble for the production team and everyone else. However, s.h.i.+ Jin insisted on apologizing.. I thought that it would be good for everyone to coexist peacefully, so I opened the door and invited her into my dressing room. Who knew that she didn’t come to apologize to me, but hurt my leg instead!”
