The next day, Qi Ying arrived at the film set early in the morning. She played the second female lead, and after reading the script the night before, she discovered that there was a scene in which she was hit.

She practiced all night in her excitement, and now she's wearing makeup with glaring dark circles under her eyes.

She glanced at the mutton-fat jade bracelet that Wen Jiaojiao took off and put into her bag:

This slut can actually afford such good stuff?

No, based on her recent income, she definitely couldn't afford it. It could only have been given to her by the man who met her and saved her.

There were only three people in the room. Wen Jiaojiao handed the bag to A Long and said:

"Please hold this safe for me, there are valuables inside."

After A Long left, Qi Ying covered her mouth and gave some instructions to her assistant.

Wen Jiaojiao didn't take it seriously. The scene where the group arrived at the stall quickly turned to the scene where she slapped the female lead.

Qi Ying's eyes hardened, and her hand was just raised halfway in the air.

Suddenly a voice rang out: "Cut! Get the stunt double in!"

Wen Jiaojiao's lips curved slightly:

"Keep your expression to yourself, don't scare my Stand, it's kind of scary."

Qi Ying looked bewildered, then exasperated and said:

"Director, it's just a slap scene. Even the biggest stars these days don't act this dramatic, do they?"

"No, can you please have some understanding of me?" the director said helplessly.

"Whether it's wrist or not isn't important. The key is if you're using this as an excuse to settle personal scores, and you slap her wherever you want, someone will come after me. I still want to stay in this industry."

Qi Ying gritted her teeth and said:

"You mean that guy from the day before yesterday? It was just a slap scene, not a fight scene. If he's so invested, he should just be keeping her as a mistress. What's the point of acting then?"

The director, still mindful of her aunt's status, said kindly:

"I don't know, and I can't comment, but their requirement is that she not be hurt."

There was a scene where I fell, and they specifically marked it so I could use a stunt double.

I don't understand capital's tastes either. Otherwise, once you've made it in the capital world, you can teach me how to direct, okay?

Although Qi Ying's family owns a factory, her father has absolutely no business acumen.

It was only thanks to Jiang Peitian's charity that they barely managed to avoid bankruptcy.

She knew becoming a capitalist was incredibly difficult, but she still couldn't swallow this insult.

She glanced at her assistant, who understood and turned to leave.

Wen Jiaojiao was sitting in a chair drinking water when suddenly, a female voice came from the crowd:

"Director, I lost a bracelet when I was here yesterday."

Everyone turned to look at her at the same time. The director recognized her; she was a once-famous wealthy woman in Hong Kong.

But later, the husband secretly sold the company, ran away with the money and his mistress.

In the past two years, she has still lived in a villa and dressed glamorously, only appearing in films and television dramas to pass the time.

But whether it's because their lives appear glamorous on the surface but are actually impoverished, or because they're genuinely bored, remains unknown.

He frowned and asked, "What's missing?"

Lin Xueshu raised her slender white wrist and said:

"A mutton fat jade bracelet."

Wen Jiaojiao: "..."

It's better to lose it sooner or later.

I just took her out today and she got lost. I don't believe it wasn't meant for me.

The director had some doubts:

"Lin Xueshu, are you sure it's a mutton fat jade bracelet that's been lost?"

Lin Xueshu frowned deeply and questioned:

"What do you mean by that? My husband may have sold the company and run away, but he hasn't touched a single thing in the house."

All that jewelry and real estate was mine before. With my family's previous wealth, how could I not have a jade bracelet?

Lin Xueshu is somewhat well-known in the industry, a famous socialite, but the director wasn't afraid of her at all, saying:

"This is a film crew. If you lose something, find it yourself. Don't delay our filming."

Qi Ying spoke up at the appropriate time:

"Director, you're not right about that. If you don't help her find it today, it might be yours tomorrow."

And if word gets out and the show suffers negative publicity because of this, it won't look good, will it?

The director hesitated for a moment and said:

"Then tell me where you lost it yesterday?"

Lin Xueshu said:

"It was lost in the changing room. I was the last crew member to arrive yesterday, and I was the fourth to leave."

So we just need to check the ones wearing clothes in front, and we'll know.

The director scratched his head and said:

"That doesn't make sense. There are always a lot of staff going in and out of the changing room. How could they know?"

Qi Ying crossed her arms and said casually:

"So we have to investigate. Mutton fat jade isn't cheap. We'll just see who suddenly has it."

Wen Jiaojiao lay on the recliner, a slight smirk playing on her lips:

You might as well just give me your ID card; these two are really putting on an act.

A question suddenly arose from the crowd:

"It happened yesterday. Maybe it was already sold, or maybe it was taken home and hidden away. Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Lin Xueshu said:

"I put the jade bracelet in my bag yesterday. I have a lot of jewelry, so I don't have time to count it every day. I just found it was missing, so I rushed to the film set."

The surroundings were silent. Wen Jiaojiao said casually:

"So...who do you think stole it?"

Lin Xuehua said arrogantly:

"Oh dear~ I didn't say who stole it. I was just thinking about where I put my bag, and the bracelet accidentally fell out and someone picked it up as a cheap bargain."

Brilliant, truly brilliant!

If it turns out to be a misunderstanding after she says that, she can clear herself of any wrongdoing.

Wen Jiaojiao let out a light sneer:

"Since you said it fell down accidentally, it must have broken. It's normal for some blind person to use it as a trash can."
