Yao Jiahong said indifferently, “Continue filming. Those who don’t want to film will be dealt with according to the contract.”
Producer Fang was helpless and could only agree. Time TV, which Yao Jiahong was part of, was an important partner of this movie, so Producer Fang had to listen to them.
The manager came to look for Liang Xinran. “I found him. I contacted Yuan Mulei’s son, Yuan Zhihui! He’s treating his illness in the hospital! I’ll go look for him immediately.”
“I’ll go with you,” Liang Xinran immediately said.

In the hospital.
Yuan Zhihui lay on the hospital bed, his expression not particularly good.
He was in his thirties and should be at an energetic age, but he was lying on the hospital bed sick.
Liang Xinran and her manager knocked on the door and entered. The nurse said softly, “You can’t stay for too long.”
After saying that, she raised her head and recognized Liang Xinran. She frowned and said, “What are you doing?”
“We’re really looking for Yuan Zhihui to have a few words. Don’t worry, we won’t disturb him for long,” the manager quickly explained.
The nurse was about to go out, but when she saw that it was Liang Xinran, she did not dare to go out. She stood by the side. “You guys talk, I’ll stay here.”
Liang Xinran did not mind having outsiders around. Anyway, she had a clear conscience.
“Mr. Yuan, do you still recognize me? Three years ago, I went to your house to look for Director Yuan and even saw you,” Liang Xinran asked straightforwardly.
“I… I don’t remember.” Yuan Zhihui shook his head.
However, it was obvious that Liang Xinran saw his evasive gaze.
“Think about it again. At that time, I went to look for your father to talk about a script. At that time, he said that I would be in his movie and let me practice…”
“There are too many people looking for my father. How can I remember them all? Furthermore, with my father’s status, the people he works with are all A-list celebrities in the entertainment industry. How can I remember a nameless person like you?”
Liang Xinran wanted to say more, but the nurse rolled her eyes at her and said, “Since Mr. Yuan doesn’t recognize you at all, I think you should stop talking. Quickly get out.”
“Mr. Yuan, please think carefully. Did your father leave anything behind…”
“Liang Xinran, that’s enough. How can you have the chance to cooperate with my father with your status? You have to have a bottom line even if you lie to others! Don’t even lie to yourself! How can my father cooperate with you? Do you think you’re worthy? Also, don’t you just want to find someone who has already pa.s.sed away to be your scapegoat? Please find someone with your status to match. Don’t come here and make my father your scapegoat!” Yuan Zhihui said righteously.
The nurse said angrily, “Please get out immediately!”
She pressed the bell and said, “Security, please come to 303, 303…”
“Sorry, sorry. We’ll go out immediately.” The manager quickly mediated and protected Liang Xinran as they walked out.
When they went out, they realized that the outside had already been surrounded by reporters and paparazzi. A large group of people rushed over.
“Liang Xinran, do you want to drag Director Yuan’s family down with you?”
“I heard that Director Yuan’s son is in very bad health. You’re going overboard!”
“Liang Xinran, take responsibility for your own actions. Why don’t you apologize directly and leave the entertainment industry? Stop struggling.”
Their words entered Liang Xinran’s ears one after another.
There were too many people, blocking all the paths.
“Director Yuan’s son already said that you did it on purpose. Don’t you have any shame?”
“I hope you won’t disturb him anymore!”
Only then did Liang Xinran understand that everything she had said to Yuan Zhihui in the ward had already been sent out.
Now, not only did she not have any chance to turn the tables, but in the eyes of outsiders, she had also become a threat to Yuan Zhihui who had deliberately looked for him to make a false clarification for her!
“Make way, make way!”
There were too many people, and Liang Xinran couldn’t leave even with her manager protecting her.
At the critical moment, a figure walked forward, crossed the crowd, and protected Liang Xinran in his arms.
Just from the pleasant and unforgettable smell on his body, Liang Xinran knew that Gu Jingyuan had come.
She allowed him to protect her in his arms and carved a path through the crowd. She returned to the car as quickly as possible.
“Thank you.” After sitting in the car, she smiled at Gu Jingyuan.
The manager closed the door while panting. The car struggled in the crowd. Finally, those people made way and the car slowly drove away.
When they stopped at a place, Liang Xinran was already exhausted.
Gu Jingyuan said to the manager, “Help her buy a hot drink.”
“Alright, I’ll go now.”
Liang Xinran sighed and said, “I really don’t understand why Yuan Zhihui is like this. Even if he doesn’t remember that I went to his house three years ago, at least he wouldn’t go against me like this and cause my matter to become even more chaotic.”
“He must have some reason.”
Liang Xinran could not investigate others’ reasons.
Although she had never acted as the female lead, her work had been smooth sailing. She had seen sinister people, but she was not experienced enough.
Hence, it was very difficult to understand why Yuan Zhihui said and did this.
He was filled with hostility, almost as if he wished to directly prove how unbearable she was.
His words undoubtedly made the public even more convinced that Liang Xinran’s matter was true.
She thought that she had a fair working relations.h.i.+p with Director Yuan and had never offended him. She really did not understand why he had to do this.
The manager returned with hot coffee.
Gu Jingyuan took it and placed it in Liang Xinran’s hand.
She held the coffee. The heat in her palm was very warm. The warmth that reached her heart could not compare to a certain coldness.
“Go home first. Take a hot bath and have a good rest.”
“Mm.”
“Leave Yuan Zhihui’s matter to me.”
She raised her head and saw the love and confidence in Gu Jingyuan’s eyes.
She pursed her lips and said softly, “Thank you.”
“I don’t want you to thank me. I want you to be okay.” Gu Jingyuan tucked her hair behind her ear.
After sending Liang Xinran back to her apartment, Gu Jingyuan left.
Her manager also came down. She already trusted Gu Jingyuan extremely, so she did not beat around the bush. “Mr. Gu, is there anything you can help Xinran with? Or is there anything you need me to do?”
“Not yet. I’ll tell you if I do.”
“Okay.” The manager nodded. “I’m on call.”
When she walked out, the manager saw that someone was celebrating their birthday outside. They were blowing the candles out, and she came to a realization. “Oh no!”
“What’s wrong?” Gu Jingyuan asked.
“It’s Xinran’s birthday today. In the past years, although her birthday wouldn’t be too grand, it was still lively, but I actually forgot about it this year. I’ll go now…”
