Why Did You Provoke Her? Even Ghosts Are Scared Into Hitting Walls

The Wen family's long-lost daughter has returned! It’s rumored that the real heiress ranked last in every school exam and even went around deceiving people, promoting feudal superstitions. Ev...

Chapter 29 His daughter... is dead?

Chen Wanning did not return to the film set for several days after the incident.

When he returned, he looked terrible, his face was dull, and he was listless.

Wen Li came in to put on makeup and almost didn't recognize Chen Wanning when she saw her.

Because of insomnia for several days, I developed a lot of red pimples on my face, and my skin became rough and sallow, causing my makeup to cake up.

Looking at her ghost-like reflection in the mirror, Chen Wanning could no longer contain herself and unleashed a torrent of anger at the makeup artist: "Do you even want to see what you've done to me?! Am I that ugly? Believe me or not, I'll get the director to fire you!"

The makeup artist was frightened by Chen Wanning's fierce appearance and couldn't help but shrink back.

Seeing this, Wen Li quickly said, "Makeup artist, could you come and do my makeup first? Director Fan said we're going to start filming soon."

The makeup artist breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay!"

When Chen Wanning saw Wen Li, a wave of resentment instantly washed over her.

But with the family business running into problems these past few days, fearing that Wen Li would complain to Huo Yinghuai again, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

She couldn't deal with Wen Li openly, but she didn't believe she couldn't deal with her privately!

After finishing their makeup, the two prepared to go to the filming location.

Wen Li's scenes were already few, and most of them had already been filmed; the rest were all action scenes.

Fan Tong was calling the safety team to check the equipment. Because it involved wire work and the filming location was precipitous, a cliff about ten meters high, although it wasn't very high, Fan Tong still insisted on a thorough inspection.

"Xiao Li, don't be afraid when you're being suspended by wires later. Just remember the action director's moves and act them out."

Wen Li was strapped to a wire, her whole body tightly wrapped up.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Wen Li nodded.

Wen Xingming, standing to the side, seemed a little worried: "Why don't we call a stand-in? You haven't tried this much before, what if you get injured?"

Being suspended by wires is inherently dangerous; there are countless examples of actors in the entertainment industry who have had accidents, and after each wire stunt, there's not a single unharmed part of their body.

He couldn't bear to see his younger sister with such delicate skin, even a single bruise on her body.

"Need not."

If her master hadn't told her not to expose herself in front of ordinary people, she wouldn't have needed wire work.

Before Wen Xingming could say anything more, Wen Li continued, "Director Fan said that this scene is very important, it's my highlight scene, and it's all shot from the front, so I can't use a stunt double."

Wen Xingming then gave up.

He entered the industry earlier than Wen Li and knew that if he wanted to film good scenes, he couldn't always use a stunt double.

"If you feel unwell, just say so, and we'll take it slowly."

Wen Li nodded obediently.

As the two were talking, they didn't notice that Chen Wanning behind them was staring at the ropes on the wire with a gloomy look in her eyes.

Half an hour later, everything was ready.

Wen Li was wrapped in thick wires inside her clothes, and even though she was wearing heavy armor, her slender waist was still visible.

Too thin!

Wen Xingming couldn't help but think this every time.

I eat so much pear every day, how come I still can't gain weight?

Just as he was thinking this, Fan Tong had already given the order to start filming.

This scene is a duel between Wen Li and Chen Wanning. Wen Li's character is forced to defect to the enemy country in order to find out the truth.

The two sides clashed, and in the end, the vicious female supporting character was stabbed to death by the female lead and fell off a cliff.

Wen Li was riding a warhorse, her silver armor gleaming brightly in the sunlight. Her eyes were bloodshot, but her gaze was filled with hatred.

Without much talk, the two sides clashed directly on the edge of the cliff.

Both the female lead and the villainous female supporting character are from military families, and it's impossible to tell who is better between them.

Just then, Wen Li suddenly leaped up from the back of her warhorse, gripping the saddle tightly with one hand and pressing down on her sword with the other until she thrust it toward her opponent.

Amidst the flashing blades, Wen Li's eyes held a resolute determination to die.

Chen Wanning's heart skipped a beat, and she almost fell off her horse in her distraction.

Fan Tong sat on the sidelines, frowning slightly as he watched Chen Wanning's performance on the control screen.

Although Chen Wanning is an internet celebrity, she had previously filmed some short dramas, and her good acting skills made her a minor celebrity, which is why she was cast as the female lead.

But now Chen Wanning couldn't control Wen Li at all, and her emotions didn't show at all.

Just as I was about to call it a day, I suddenly heard a series of exclamations from the surrounding area.

Before Fan Tong could react, he saw Wen Li run past him.

As everyone's gaze fell upon him, Fan Tong was also startled and stood up.

Suddenly, one of the wires that Wen Li was on snapped, causing Wen Li's body to tilt and sway precariously on the edge of the cliff!

There were two safety ropes in total, and the other one also showed signs of being broken.

As Chen Wanning watched Wen Li about to fall, a triumphant smile appeared on her lips.

She seemed oblivious to the gasps of the crowd below, and feigned nervousness as she "flew" toward Wen Li.

"careful--"

Wen Xingming's eyes were red with tears, but it was too late.

When he saw Chen Wanning actually heading towards Wen Li, he couldn't help but shout, "Chen Wanning, you fucking stop right there, do you hear me!"

The wire was moving very fast. If it continued like this, as long as Chen Wanning made even the slightest impact, the last remaining protective rope on Wen Li would immediately break.

Wen Xingming dared not even imagine what the outcome would be.

And after he finished speaking, he noticed that Chen Wanning was even faster.
