When Jian Ruoxi returned after buying coffee, she found that most of her colleagues had left, and only a few operations staff were still working.

Holding the silk dress in her arms, she asked one of her colleagues, "Excuse me, where did Hu Xuezhi and the others go?"

Unexpectedly, all he got in return was a cold glare.

Ignoring the other person's cold attitude, Jian Ruoxi just wanted to finish her work as soon as possible. She ran to the operations desk and asked, "Where did Hu Xuezhi and the others go?"

“He just went to the film set in the company car, didn’t you know?” one of the operations staff replied to her.

Jian Ruoxi understood this time that Hu Xuezhi had deliberately sent her away so that she would miss the company car.

They also told her to be late for the film set later.

How could she possibly give him that chance? She picked up the clothes in her hand, stuffed them into a bag, and went downstairs to the company to buy a small electric scooter.

She knew the route from the company to the film set very well. Usually, the business car took the Beizhong Street Avenue, which took about forty or fifty minutes.

Once, when she was stuck in traffic, she checked Baidu Maps on her phone and found that it would only take 20 minutes to cycle there.

However, she was very busy at the time, and during the short time she was in the car, the makeup artist had to touch up her makeup and fix her hair.

But now she's just a handyman; all the makeup and hairstyle are useless to her.

After going downstairs, I quickly grabbed a small electric scooter and rushed to the film set.

She and Hu Xuezhi arrived almost at the same time. Hu Xuezhi had just stepped through the door when she saw Jian Ruoxi rushing in with clothes in her arms.

Her eyes were full of shock: "Sister Jian, you are a very responsible assistant. When I was in a hurry to leave, I called you but no one answered. I didn't expect you to catch up with me in just a few minutes."

“It’s what I should do,” Jian Ruoxi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Hu Xuezhi snorted and went to greet the famous director: "Director Zhang, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Isn't this the famous actress Hu Xuezhi?" Director Zhang immediately stood up to greet Hu Xuezhi.

Filming began, and it was Hu Xuezhi's turn to take a break.

"Hot water."

Jian Ruoxi brought over some hot water.

"It's too cold, give me two blankets."

Jian Ruoxi rummaged through drawers and cabinets again to find a blanket for Hu Xuezhi.

During breaks in filming, Hu Xuezhi would occasionally order Jian Ruoxi around, "Hey you, get me the script."

Even though Jian Ruoxi was pregnant, Hu Xuezhi didn't give her even a minute to catch her breath.

After filming wrapped, Director Zhang specially asked the screenwriter to call Jian Ruoxi to his room and politely asked her, "Ms. Jian, have you been free of work lately?"

Jian Ruoxi thought Director Zhang wanted to give her a chance, so she seriously said, "Really, no film crews have contacted me during this period."

"If you need me, I'm willing to film even a minor role."

Director Zhang looked Jian Ruoxi up and down, then said with a smile, "We don't need a big star like you for a bit part. Why don't you come and run around in my room?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to Jian Ruoxi.

Jian Ruoxi immediately realized what he meant, and her face darkened: "Director Zhang, please have some self-respect."

"Why should I need to respect myself? Jian Ruoxi, you've already become someone's mistress, and you're not even happy when I say a few words to you." Seeing that Jian Ruoxi didn't give him any face, Director Zhang stopped pretending.

Jian Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him and slammed the door shut as she left.

Seeing Jian Ruoxi's anxious appearance outside the film set, everyone guessed that Director Zhang must have been teasing her.

Hu Xuezhi knew perfectly well what Jian Ruoxi had gone through, but she still pretended to be understanding: "Sister Jian, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just work-related," Jian Ruoxi replied to Hu Xuezhi casually.

On the other hand, although Li Anran suffered a miscarriage, she received meticulous care from Lu Shen and Old Madam Lu.

Back at the Lu family's old residence, Li Anran acted like the matriarch of the Lu family.

“This bedside table is nice, but it has very sharp edges. I’m afraid the child will bump into it in the future,” Li Anran said to Grandma Lu in a coquettish tone.

"Go contact the most famous bookstore designer in the city and ask him to change this one to something more fashionable and suitable for families with young children," the old lady said to her attendant.

Li Anran linked arms with the old lady and said, "You're so kind to me."

At the same time, Shi Lushen also had his men change the color of all the wardrobes in his house to the color that Li Anran liked.

"Brother Lu, you really understand me." Li Anran coquettishly tried to get closer to Lu Shen.

After the miscarriage and suicide attempt, Lu Shen and his wife doted on Li Anran even more, and no one in their household dared to neglect her.

One is Li Anran, the matriarch of the Lu family, leisurely enjoying tea at home.

One is Jian Ruoxi, a mistress who wanted to use her child to climb the social ladder, but has now fallen into the public eye and is being treated like a maid on set.

The lives of these two people have been secretly photographed by paparazzi and posted online, described as the tragic lives of "divorced women".

Jian Ruoxi's situation has been the subject of ridicule from netizens.

"She's now going to the Lu family to wipe Li Anran's feet, but they don't want her."

"Mrs. Lu goes out in a Maybach, but Jian Ruoxi only goes out in a small electric car."

Jian Ruoxi was kicked out of the Lu family, and due to the exorbitant compensation incident, she can only live in a cheap rental house now.

The rented room was small and cramped, and the tenant had to share it with others. The bathroom was a public toilet, making life quite difficult.

Jian Feng's family's house was mortgaged, and they were also harassed by loan sharks for debt.

On the day this family went to the Lu family's old house to demand money, Jian Ruoxi saw that she had failed to stop them and had no choice but to leave first.

Jian Feng was unwilling to give up and kept shouting at the door with his wife and daughter, but they were beaten up by Old Madam Lu's bodyguard.

Jian Feng, injured, limped and blocked Jian Ruoxi's doorway.

He yelled, "You can't even be a proper mistress!"

Looking at the family's miserable state, Jian Ruoxi laughed mockingly: "What, didn't you get any money?"

This infuriated Jian Feng and Jian Mengyu.

"You good-for-nothing! The child in your belly was originally from the Lu family. What's wrong with asking the Lu family for two cents?"

Jian Mengyu chimed in, "Asking the Lu family for a few million is nothing to them."

However, Wang Ju often surfs the internet and knows Jian Ruoxi's current situation. She told Jian Feng, "Jian Ruoxi has been blacklisted by the company and can't earn a single penny."

"How about this, let's have her film a Category III movie. After all, she was a big star before. Even if it's just to create some hype, she can definitely make a lot of money."

Jian Feng slapped his thigh: "Right, how come I didn't think of that?"

"Besides, she's only recently pregnant, her belly isn't very noticeable yet, so it would be perfect for her to film a Category III film," Wang Juyue continued, discussing with Jian Feng.

The family immediately contacted Director Liu, who was filming the movie.

Upon hearing this, Director Liu didn't even consult with Jian Ruoxi before releasing the news online: "The comeback of a famous actress, please look forward to Jian Ruoxi's Category III film."
