Chapter 28 Surprise
There are no cameras or audiences here, and he no longer wears the gentle mask he usually wears.
The face that was usually praised by fans as a god-like face was now filled with resentment and jealousy, appearing extremely distorted and ugly.
"Shi Qing, you're really good!"
His voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth, cold and sticky, full of sickening malice.
"You used to pretend to be innocent, didn't you? Now, for a role, you're even willing to sleep with an old man like Feng Guohao, who could be your father?"
He approached her step by step, his eyes full of naked scrutiny.
"Tell me, what's the price? Can Director Feng even give you an S card directly? Can his old bones satisfy you?"
Dirty words came like a tide, but Shi Qing just looked at him quietly.
Shi Qing didn't expect that this move today would completely shatter Yue Jingchen's mask.
Before, I just felt that he was hypocritical.
Specifically, after they finished working together on their first drama and untied their relationship, she encountered several problems related to him. He always used excuses like "I want to help you, but my agent doesn't agree." After so many times, she began to feel the pressure.
Until the time they worked together again, because he wanted to use her, and at that time the dramas she starred in were all popular, while his dramas failed more than they were popular, so he played the emotional card again.
Then came Gao Panpan’s incident.
She thought she knew Yue Jingchen completely, but now looking at Yue Jingchen's ferocious look, she still didn't know him completely.
Yue Jingchen was completely stung by her gaze, his voice rising uncontrollably: "What are you looking at! I hit the nail on the head, are you feeling guilty? You have nothing to say?!"
Shi Qing finally spoke, her voice icy cold without a trace of warmth.
"Yue Jingchen, a person with a dirty heart sees everything as dirty."
The corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile, and she sneered coldly, "Don't use your filthy logic of equivalent exchange to speculate about everyone. Do you think that everything in this world can only be obtained through climbing up the social ladder and making deals?"
Her eyes gently swept across his face, which was flushed with anger, and her words were like a knife, accurately piercing his most vulnerable pain point.
"That's right. After all, to you, whether it's Gao Panpan or..."
She paused deliberately. In fact, she only knew Gao Panpan, and now she just wanted to trick him.
"Apart from relying on them, it seems that you really don't have any other abilities."
"You!" Yue Jingchen felt like he was slapped hard in the face. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He suddenly raised his hand and wanted to hit the face that he once liked.
"Sister Qing!" A crisp voice sounded in time, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Assistant Wu Xiao ran over quickly and saw Yue Jingchen's distorted expression and raised hand at a glance.
Her heart skipped a beat, and Xia Zhu's words instantly echoed in her mind.
"Protect Shi Qing and keep her away from Yue Jingchen. I haven't investigated his background yet."
Wu Xiao almost instinctively dodged and stood in front of Shi Qing, like a hen protecting her chicks, staring at Yue Jingchen with vigilance, as if he was looking at some extremely dangerous garbage.
She ignored Yue Jingchen, whose face was ashen, and said to Shi Qing, "Sister Qing, we should go now. We have a scene to shoot tonight."
After saying that, she took Shi Qing's arm without saying anything, turned around and walked away with her, using her body to block Yue Jingchen's almost cannibalistic gaze, and left the depressing corridor without looking back.
——
The nanny car drove smoothly out of the underground parking lot.
The tiring recording finally ended. Shi Qing leaned back on the soft chair and let out a long breath.
After being highly tense, her mind suddenly relaxed, and she felt a deep-seated fatigue.
She turned her head and stared blankly at the scenery rapidly receding outside the car window.
At this moment, her eyes with excellent eyesight keenly captured a surprising but expected scene in a dark corner of a surveillance blind spot.
Yue Jingchen leaned against the wall, his face still showing lingering anger and a hint of grievance.
The person standing in front of him, reaching out to stroke his cheek, was none other than the actress Zhao Qi who had just praised him on the stage.
Yue Jingchen's expression was not as ferocious and out of control as it was when he looked at her in the corridor just now. Instead, it had a bit of a coquettish and angry tone to it.
There was a hint of impatience and comfort on Zhao Qi's well-maintained face. She seemed to say something in a low voice, but Yue Jingchen still turned his head away, unmoved.
The next second, Zhao Qi suddenly reached out, grabbed his tie, pulled his head towards her, and then kissed him directly.
Shi Qing sat up straight in an instant, the last trace of fatigue in her eyes dispelled by shock.
"Sister Qing, what's wrong?" Wu Xiao was startled by her actions and asked in confusion.
Shi Qing did not answer, but just looked at that direction with a serious look until the car turned and completely left that scene behind.
She slowly turned back and asked softly, "Teacher Zhao Qi...is she married?"
"Yes." As a dedicated assistant, Wu Xiao is very familiar with all the gossips of "Actors in Progress".
He lowered his voice and said, "Ms. Zhao married into the Li family in Hong Kong many years ago and gave birth to a son. Since then, she has been at home taking care of her husband and child. Now that the young master is in high school, she is thinking of making a comeback."
"I heard that the Li family is one of the largest investors in the show 'Actors in Progress,' so she can directly serve as a mentor."
Wu Xiao got angry when he mentioned this, and couldn't help but complain, "But Teacher Zhao, has he been staying at home for too long? Has his professional ability deteriorated?"
Wu Xiao was furious when he saw Zhao Qi clearly making things difficult for him. He wondered if she had any appreciation for him. Fortunately, Director Feng recognized her talent and gave her an S card.
However, her doubts about Zhao Qi's declining level were not groundless.
Zhao Qi's recent comeback has not been smooth. Although she still has the halo of the former movie queen, the movie and TV series she filmed after her comeback both suffered a plummet in reputation after they were broadcast. Netizens mocked her for her greasy acting skills and old-fashioned style, and she had long lost her former aura.
Shi Qing listened to Wu Xiao's complaints, but a cold arc slowly appeared at the corner of her lips, and there was a look of irony in her eyes that seemed to see through everything.
"I think I know why."
She lowered her head, said no more, took out her cell phone, and quickly sent a message to Xia Zhu, who had already returned to the capital, briefly describing the scene she had just seen.
Xia Zhu replied almost instantly: "Okay, I got it. I'll have someone investigate and follow up. Don't worry about anything, just focus on filming."
Looking at Xia Zhu's reply, Shi Qing felt a little warm in her heart.
She turned off her phone, closed her eyes, and completely cleared the disgusting scene from her mind.
Concentrating on your career is the serious thing to do.
