Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Grandpa w.a.n.g smiled and said, “But in my opinion, Old Master Li has already given everything back to them. This place has long become a rich and fertile field, becoming everyone’s real home.”
s.h.i.+ Jin looked into the distance and said with a smile, “What grandpa did was very n.o.ble.”
“Of course.” Grandpa w.a.n.g lit a cigarette and started smoking.
Amidst the smoke, s.h.i.+ Jin saw a familiar car driving towards them.
Grandpa w.a.n.g stood up and s.h.i.+ Jin had already strode over.
The car stopped in front of her and Fu Xiuyuan’s handsome face appeared.
s.h.i.+ Jin smiled in surprise. “Didn’t you just go back?”
“It’s grandpa’s birthday tomorrow. I’m here to celebrate with him. I’ll bring you home too.” Fu Xiuyuan got out of the car and walked to s.h.i.+ Jin’s side.
Old Master Li’s laughter could be heard from behind. “Oh, you. You were afraid that I would keep s.h.i.+ Jin longer, so you couldn’t wait to pick her up.”
Fu Xiuyuan didn’t deny it and said with a faint smile, “It’s mainly to celebrate Grandfather’s birthday.”
“Hahaha.” Old Master Li laughed. “Let’s go in first.”
***
After Old Master Li’s birthday, s.h.i.+ Jin did not stay for long and rushed back to the capital with Fu Xiuyuan.
s.h.i.+ Jin went to the set and a car followed behind her.
She turned back to have a look. Fu Xiuyuan said softly, “I’ve arranged four bodyguards for you. I’m worried about s.h.i.+ Xuexin being on set.”
s.h.i.+ Jin nodded gently. “Yes.”
“If anything happens with s.h.i.+ Xuexin…”
“I understand, I’ll tell you. Don’t worry, with her level, she won’t be able to touch me.”
Fu Xiuyuan placed his hand on her hair and smiled slightly.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin had also arrived at the set. As soon as she entered the set, she was told that her scenes were once again reduced.
“Why?”
“There’s no reason why. The screenwriter has gained more and better inspiration for the role of s.h.i.+ Jin and has already obtained the approval of the entire production team,” the a.s.sistant director told her. “So now, we have added some of her scenes.”
In other words, the unimportant scenes would be reduced.
All of this had happened because of the live broadcast. As s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s reputation plummeted, the screenwriter’s ideas followed the trend.
s.h.i.+ Jin only found out about this after entering the set. She briefly looked at the script and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. She replied, “Okay.”
When she sat down to do her makeup, Zhu Junrong sent her a message. “s.h.i.+ Jin, don’t you have a violin you need to fix? Do you need me to inform your eldest senior brother?”
“No need, Elder Zhu. I don’t have a violin to fix.”
Wen w.a.n.g’s violin naturally had nothing to do with her.
Zhu Junrong didn’t insist and casually chatted with her about the shoot. “When are you free? Come with me for more tours and meet more people.”
s.h.i.+ Jin agreed to everything.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin returned to her dressing room. Her a.s.sistant was gone, and the makeup artist was putting on makeup for the others and told her to wait.
She pinched her palms and walked to the props team.
“Miss s.h.i.+.” The props team knew that there was a power behind her, so their tone was very polite.
Turning around, the props team discussed in a low voice, “In a while, this bottle will be splashed on s.h.i.+ Jin’s face, and it needs to look like it’s bubbling and hurting s.h.i.+ Jin’s face. Mixing detergent with beer will do. As for the wound, it will be done with post-production special effects and makeup.”
“Alright, I’ll do it now.”
“Did you tell s.h.i.+ Jin? Is she allergic to anything?”
“s.h.i.+ Jin said it was okay.”
“Okay, I’ll work on it.”
Everyone busied themselves with their work. After they were done, they placed the prop potion aside.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin had already retreated and no one noticed her.
A moment later, she was back. When no one was looking, she poured the chemical cleaning products she had gotten from the cleaner into the potion and shook it. Then she glanced around and stepped back.
s.h.i.+ Jin’s scenes began.
This time, it was her and Shen Xinghe’s scene. Shen Xinghe’s role was to pour the potion on her face.
After s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s scenes were reduced, there were no more scenes for her today, but she didn’t leave. Instead, she stayed by the director’s side and waited for the scene to start.
Her expression was calm, but her hands were clenched tightly, betraying her true emotions.
s.h.i.+ Jin felt strange when she saw her standing near her.
Another actor said, “I heard from s.h.i.+ Xuexin that she’s staying to watch everyone’s scenes. It seems like she knows how to work hard now.”
s.h.i.+ Jin did not think that she had such intentions, but filming was about to start, so she didn’t think too much about it.
Shen Xinghe quickly got into character. Holding the bottle of medicine, he shouted angrily, “Demoness, I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens today!”
Next, s.h.i.+ Jin made a defensive move. However, Shen Xinghe was highly skilled and had come prepared. Therefore, more than half of it landed on her face.
Just as s.h.i.+ Jin was about to cover herself, Shen Xinghe raised his hand and poured the potion on s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s face.
The turn of events was too sudden. s.h.i.+ Xuexin covered her face with her hands and let out a scream!
Shen Xinghe did it on purpose, so the potion sprayed on s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s face.
“Ah!”
Everyone was also stunned. Someone shouted, “Quickly bring some water over.”
“Don’t worry, Miss s.h.i.+. This is the detergent mixed with beer. It’s a little uncomfortable, but it’ll be fine after was.h.i.+ng it. There won’t be any big problems.”
Shen Xinghe quickly said, “I’m sorry, my hands shook.”
No one had time to blame Shen Xinghe as they helped s.h.i.+ Xuexin up. Her screams were a little scary and shrill.
The first person who went up to wash her face was shocked to find that her skin was swollen and festering. “This is…”
“Send me to the hospital!” s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s voice was shrill and miserable.
Everyone also realized that something was wrong. Someone immediately called the emergency number.
The props team was shocked. “What’s going on?”
“Leave the medicine for inspection.”
“Send her to the hospital immediately! Bring these props with you!”
The director was also very angry. “Deal with it immediately!”
Only then did Shen Xinghe realize that the matter had blown up. He waved his hand. “I didn’t do it on purpose…”
s.h.i.+ Jin stood at the side and took in everything. If the medicine was splashed on her face, the consequences would be similar.
She pulled Shen Xinghe aside. “You splashed her on purpose?”
“I did it on purpose, but I did not know that the chemicals inside could cause such serious injury.” Shen Xinghe immediately told her the truth.. “I saw her sneakily putting something inside the potion, so I wanted to teach her a lesson and let her experience the consequences herself. I also did not know what was inside…”
