Jian Ruoxi felt her head buzzing. She pushed aside Han Mingyi, who was blocking her way, and ran outside. There were some things she had to ask herself to believe.
Watching Jian Ruoxi walk away dejectedly, Han Mingyi felt a sense of satisfaction. "After this incident, Jian Ruoxi might become disheartened and disappear from the entertainment industry again."
She's done this kind of thing before. At the height of her career, she left the entertainment industry, giving up all the great opportunities she had, to become a housewife.
And what happened? Now they've ended up being abandoned.
"I'm waiting to see how this whole thing will end," Han Mingyi said with a sinister laugh.
Jian Ruoxi arrived at the staff's rest area. She remembered that all the actors' mobile phones were handed over to the staff for safekeeping.
"Sister Ruoxi, why are you finishing work so early today?" The staff were a little surprised to see Jian Ruoxi here.
"I'm here to get my phone. I've been so busy filming these past two days that I haven't had a chance to look at anything."
The staff looked at each other, unsure whether they should give it to him, especially since Director Lu wasn't there.
"What? Can't I take my own things?" Jian Ruoxi looked at them with a half-smile.
The staff were taken aback when they noticed that Jian Ruoxi, who was usually good-tempered, was now looking at them with a dangerous gaze.
Strange, Sister Ruoxi's aura is so similar to that of the people who came to the film crew a while ago.
You can see his influence in his eyes and his aura.
Jian Ruoxi spent three whole years with him and got used to his domineering temper at home. She gradually learned some of it from him.
"Of course we can get it, Sister Ruoxi, don't be angry. We'll get it for you right away." The staff member didn't dare to delay and immediately found Jian Ruoxi's phone and handed it to her.
When Jian Ruoxi noticed the staff's anxious and fearful expressions, she smiled self-deprecatingly.
Back then, when he went to work at the company, she could only wait at home for him to come back after he finished his work.
As I tidy up my clothes and pass by the full-length mirror at home, I always reminisce about the time I spent acting. I can't help but start imitating the man I know best and love most in front of the mirror.
"I never thought that his temperament would come in such a useful way one day."
It's a bit fierce, but it's definitely effective.
Before leaving, Jian Ruoxi told the staff, "Remember to tell the director that I have something to do today and won't be waiting for her to go back together."
After Jian Ruoxi left, the staff quickly found Lu Jin and told her what had just happened.
"Director, you didn't see it, but Ruoxi's eyes were so scary just now, I didn't dare to look her in the eye."
Lu Jin's heart tightened. "She knows everything?"
The staff member nodded cautiously, and to avoid being affected by Director Lu's anger, the staff member even moved back a few steps.
"Judging from Ruoxi's expression just now, it seems so."
She slammed the script in her hand to the ground, her face flushed with anger.
"Who dared to tell her the news without my consent?"
Inside the hospital, Li Anran had just regained consciousness.
Her emotions had stabilized considerably by now. Seeing that Lu Shen was still by her side, Li Anran happily took Lu Shen's hand.
"Ah Shen, it's so nice to see you as soon as I open my eyes."
Lu Shen instinctively wanted to loosen his grip, but remembering the doctor's repeated instructions, he had no choice but to compromise.
How are you feeling?
Li Anran whispered in Lu Shen's ear, "I don't feel anything wrong with my body. Is the doctor trying to trick you by diagnosing you wrong?"
Such arguments inevitably reminded Lu Shen of Li Anran from his university days.
"Go see a doctor, your fever is 39 degrees Celsius." Without waiting for a reply, Lu Shen was about to take Li Anran to the infirmary.
Li Anran turned sideways and backed away, refusing to go in.
“I’m not going no matter what. Doctors will only exaggerate the symptoms. They’ll make you look sick even if you’re not.”
Lu Shen was lost in memories of the two of them together back then.
Since Li Anran returned, he rarely thought about the past.
"Ah Shen, what's wrong?" Li Anran looked at Lu Shen with worry in his eyes, just like the Li Anran he knew from college.
"It's nothing, I was just a little lost in thought."
He has to take care of two patients by himself, and without Lu Jin's help, he's really struggling to keep up.
"Why isn't this girl here yet?"
Lu Jin, who was being nagged by his older brother, was currently investigating who had leaked the information.
In the past, the staff would privately discuss how terrifying Lu Jin was when he cursed. Now they realized that those familiar words were actually very endearing to them.
Compared to Lu Jin, who was coldly watching them, they preferred the woman who could unleash a torrent of insults.
Having grown up in the Lu family since childhood, Lu Jin naturally possessed the aura of a leader.
Unable to withstand her intimidating presence, someone tremblingly raised their hand, "Director Lu, I... I think I saw Han Mingyi looking for Sister Ruoxi just now."
Lu Jin waved to them, indicating that they could leave.
The staff felt like they had been granted a pardon and dared not linger in front of Lu Jin, fearing that the conflict would spread to them.
This time, Director Lu was really angry, and the consequences were severe.
Lu Jin arrived at Han Mingyi's resting place, where she was removing her makeup.
"Director Lu, is there something you want to discuss? Is it about tomorrow's scenes?" Han Mingyi asked before Lu Jin could even speak.
"You can rest assured about that. I know how to act in tomorrow's scene. I've played this kind of role many times, so I'm naturally good at it. You don't need to worry about it, director." Han Mingyi's attitude was arrogant.
From the start of filming until now, Han Mingyi has always treated Lu Jin the same way.
She was an actress strongly recommended by the investors, but the others were different; she was noticeably more assertive when speaking to the director.
Lu Jin felt angry just looking at Han Mingyi. It always reminded her of when Li Tianlei first started out, and he was always bullied by the actors recommended by investors.
At the time, Tianlei wouldn't let her get involved.
"Xiao Jin, this is complicated. Just bear with it and it will pass. I won't cooperate with him next time."
"If we make a big fuss and the investors withdraw their funding, then all our efforts over this period of time will have been in vain."
When she became a director herself and gained a deeper understanding of the entertainment industry that Tian Lei had worked in, she realized that many things were much more complicated and difficult than she had imagined.
Nowadays, even though she's a director, the actors don't respect her, just because Han Mingyi is an actress from the investors.
But besides being a director, Lu Jin is also the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
"Han Mingyi, you are the actress, and I am the director. How the film is shot is up to me on set."
Han Mingyi smiled noncommittally upon hearing this, "Director Lu is right." However, there was not a trace of respect for Lu Jin on her face.
Lu Jin's status in the entertainment industry is that of a new generation director; it's a joke that she would ask you to listen to her.
