The man put down his water glass, sat back on the sofa, and casually picked up the newspaper again, his face returning to its normal calm.

A moment later, the man frowned deeply as a strong sense of dizziness washed over him.

He suddenly stood up, trying to clear his head, but everything went black before his eyes, and he slumped back onto the sofa, feeling weak and powerless.

"You...you bitch, what did you just give me to drink?"

The wife's once calm eyes gradually brightened. She stared at her husband expressionlessly for a long time, as if trying to memorize his face. After one last look, she got up and slowly walked into the bedroom. A moment later, she slowly returned.

He was holding a gleaming knife in his hand.

The husband's consciousness began to fade. When he saw the knife in his wife's hand, he realized the danger, and a look of terror flashed in his eyes.

"You dare!"

The wife walked up to her husband, looking down at him and said, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I've dreamt countless times of using every possible way to kill you. Today, I'll let you feel what it's like to have your blood slowly drain from your body. Husband, I won't let you die right away. After all, we've been husband and wife for ten years. There are a lot I want to tell you."

The wife sat down, and the husband tried to move his body, but the large amount of sedatives had taken effect in his body, and he couldn't move at all.

The wife moved the knife in her hand to her husband's face, that refined face she had once admired and liked, but now, all she wanted was to destroy the face that had bewitched her.

With one stab, a deep gash appeared on the right side of the husband's face.

The husband was in pain, and his consciousness, which was on the verge of unconsciousness, became somewhat clearer due to the pain.

His wife smiled gently, her smile as sweet and tender as when they first met: "Honey, does it hurt?"

"Wife, I...I was wrong, I promise...I promise I will never hit you again, please, for the sake of the children, please forgive me."

The wife narrowed her eyes: "Spare you? Will you spare me? No, you won't. You'll only hurt me more. Only if you completely disappear from my world will I have the motivation to live. Husband, don't be afraid. It's just a little blood. It won't hurt much."

As she finished speaking, the wife's smile grew even sweeter, but the cold knife in her hand mercilessly slashed at her husband's face again and again.

"Okay, that's enough!" Jiang Hai called out to stop.

Rong Yu and Xia Wei composed themselves, stood up from the sofa, and waited for the director's evaluation.

Jiang Hai's gaze fell on Rong Yu and Xia Wei's faces again, and compared to his previous indifference, his gaze was now exceptionally serious.

"You acted very well and were very immersive, especially as Rong Yu's husband. Your image is actually not suitable for the role of a husband, but you made up for your shortcomings with your acting skills. You portrayed Xia Wei's wife very well, which shows that you have really studied the character's personality in the script."

Rong Yu and Xia Wei were both shocked by Jiang Hai's evaluation.

After years of struggling in the entertainment industry, this is the first time they've received recognition from a director.

Jiang Hai looked at Bai Qianmo: "You have a great eye for casting!"

"So, both of them passed?"

"That's how it seems for now, but they're still young and have a lot of shortcomings in their acting skills. I suggest they do some intensive training over the next two weeks, which will be a great help to them."

Bai Qianmo pondered for a moment, then turned her gaze to Rong Yu and Xia Wei: "Can you spare half a month?"

The two nodded immediately.

Such a great opportunity, even if we don't have time, we must try our best to make time for it.

"Alright, there's a hotel upstairs from the company. You'll be staying here starting today. You'll have classes in the company's performance studio every day. For the next two weeks, cut off all contact with the outside world and focus all your energy on the performance. I hope the final product will live up to everyone's expectations!"

Rong Yu looked at Bai Qianmo with a determined gaze: "I will definitely not let you down!"

Xia Wei nodded excitedly: "Me too, I will definitely try my best to seize this opportunity!"

Bai Qianmo smiled faintly with satisfaction and said to Jiang Hai, "Director Jiang, do you have any questions about the script?"

Jiang Hai's cold face held a profound meaning: "No need. Since you trust me so much, I should repay you with the same level of trust!"

The fact that they hired him to film this drama even when things were at their most sensitive point shows not only the fearlessness of a newborn calf, but also their trust and confidence in him.

What gave him the right to doubt that the young girl's script wasn't written by her? Moreover, in these two meetings, he saw in Bai Qianmo a maturity and composure far beyond that of her peers.

She's not simple!
