By the time Huo Jingjing found out about the incident, she already felt like everything had changed. When she was bitten, she was filled with courage and wanted to protect Xiao Yue, so she did not have the time to feel fear or panic.
Above all, she never imagined that there was such an ugly scheme behind the scenes. Even if she knew, she wouldn't be like Tangning and lay low for so long, all for the sake of revenge!
Sometimes, she admired Tangning's patience and thoughtfulness. According to Tangning, the industry was a place for people to step on others. If you didn't set the rules and set your bottom line, there would always be people that tried to use your shoulders to climb up. Eventually, there would be a day when a corpse would be left outside without anyone knowing why.
If the dog incident had not happened, Huo Jingjing may not have been so affected. But, in the face of fame and fortune, if there was a shortcut, even if it meant taking someone's life, there would always be someone that would do it.
"Following on, there's still Song Xin. What do you plan to do?" Huo Jingjing asked over the phone.
"Do you think she'll just sit there quietly?" Tangning couldn't help but ask.
"But, now that Duan Jinghong has dragged her down with the theft scandal, she should at least know her place."
Tangning's motive was indeed to suppress Song Xin's arrogance. But, she didn't think that Song Xin would learn to hold back after being slandered.
"Fine, let's not talk about this anymore. I noticed that Fang Yu is preparing for the promotion for your new film. Your third film is about to be released. Congratulations..."
Her third film...
Seemed like a long time ago. But, when she thought about the satisfied look on her fans' faces as they left the theatre, she felt a sense of pride. No matter how many times she experienced it, she would never get tired of it.
Because, she was an actress that had expectations for the audience!
...
During this time, a lot happened. However, after An Zihao placed all his attention on Chen Xingyan, he did not pay much attention to Tangning.
That night, it was raining cats and dogs. After filming in the woods, the crew quickly drove back to the hotel to get rid of the cold. But, when An Zihao arrived on set, Chen Xingyan was nowhere to be seen. So, he went to look for the director to ask about the situation.
The director scratched his head as he tried to recall. After quite some time, he finally replied, "My last scene was with Ling Long. Afterwards, I was told to call it a day. Did everyone forget to tell Xingyan?"
An Zihao did not listen to another word from the director. He immediately went downstairs and prepared to drive to the forest where the filming was taking place.
Ling Long was downstairs. As soon as she saw An Zihao, she immediately stopped him, "Director An, I remember Xingyan mentioned she was returning to Beijing. Do you want to give her a phone call to ask?"
After An Zihao heard this, he immediately called Chen Xingyan's phone. However, her phone was already turned off. It was currently raining heavily. If Chen Xingyan wanted to go somewhere, there was no way she wouldn't tell him.
Afterwards, An Zihao boarded his car and drove towards Beijing. At this time, Ling Long threw Chen Xingyan's phone into the bin.
"Let her be proud all the time."
At this time, Ling Long had already returned to being a supporting character. Chen Xingyan was now the main character.
But, Ling Long had always held a grudge and was always looking for an opportunity to teach the woman a lesson. Now that she finally had the chance, she was curious to see how long the woman would stay in the mountains in such bad weather.
...
On the way home, An Zihao kept thinking about Ling Long's words. There was a saying, 'when one is involved, one becomes confused'. Why did he believe Ling Long and assume that Chen Xingyan would return to Beijing at this time?
With this thought, An Zihao immediately turned the car around and drove up the mountain. But, because of the heavy rain and uneven roads, there was a limit to how far the car could go.
But, in order to find Chen Xingyan, he couldn't care less. He didn't even have time to grab an umbrella as he got out of the car. As he stood in the rain, he searched for Chen Xingyan.
"Xiao Xing..."
"Xingyan."
A voice drifted over from not too far away. Chen Xingyan thought she was hallucinating and that she was indeed trapped in the mountains. As no one told her to stop filming, she fell asleep on the spot. When she woke up, her phone was gone. She originally planned to spend the night here and head back down the mountain the next morning. But, who would have thought... An Zihao would personally come looking for her.
Chen Xingyan wasn't weak. She simply couldn't believe it. As soon as she saw An Zihao walk out of the rain, she did not hesitate as she pounced into his arms.
Luckily, they were in a wooden hut built by the production crew, so she could temporarily hide from the rain. Otherwise, how was she going to survive the night?
"Are you OK?" An Zihao asked as he hugged her.
"I'm fine," Chen Xingyan replied in a muffled voice.
An Zihao paused for a moment before he realized his clothes were completely soaked. He originally wanted to push Chen Xingyan away, but she refused to let go.
"There's moisture in the air. You'll catch a cold."
"I'm not afraid," Chen Xingyan replied stubbornly.
"We can't stay here any longer. Let's think of a way down the mountain." An Zihao noticed that the hut was not sheltered from the wind, so he removed his jacket and wrapped it around the couple. "Let's go down like this. My car is right below."
"I'm not that delicate..."
"You're now a woman with a man. If you're not that delicate, you should pretend to be a little more delicate." After speaking, An Zihao wrapped his arm around Chen Xingyan and led her out of the hut. The couple were drenched in the rain along the way, so it didn't take long before they arrived at An Zihao's car. After they boarded the car, An Zihao immediately pulled out a blanket from the backseat and handed it to Chen Xingyan, "Dry yourself first..."
"You're wetter than me. You dry yourself first!"
"Stop wasting time. I still need to drive." After speaking, An Zihao started the car and returned to the hotel where the production crew were staying.
Half an hour later, An Zihao pushed Chen Xingyan into his room and ordered, "Go have a shower."
"What about you?"
An Zihao did not respond. Instead, he knocked on Ling Long's door. Of course, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, he dragged the hotel staff with him.
Ling Long opened the door curiously. However, An Zihao stretched out his hand towards her, "Give me back my phone!"
"I don't understand."
"If you do, where is Chen Xingyan's phone?" An Zihao's voice carried a sense of danger. "If you don't tell me right now, I can guarantee that you will be kicked out of the production tomorrow. You should know, right? Chen Xingyan is Mo Ting's sister. "
Ling Long's face turned pale in fear...
But, she refused to admit, "I... I really don't understand what you're saying. Director An, I'm sure you've misunderstood."
"Good, very good." After saying these words, An Zihao left Ling Long's door …
