Zhou Rui finished filming his scenes and went to the dressing room to change back into his own clothes. He Muchen still had a scene to film.
As Zhou Rui walked into the dressing room, she was pushed by the actress playing the third female lead, who was following closely behind.
Zhou Rui almost lost his balance and fell flat on his face.
Zhou Rui angrily retorted to the girl, "Are you out of your mind or blind? Can't you see a person this big walking in front of you?"
The actress said irritably, "Oh, so there's someone up there? I thought there was no one."
Zhou Rui stood in front of the girl with a smile, waving his hand in front of her eyes, "So you're blind."
After saying that, she turned around and sat down at the dressing table, saying to He Muchen's makeup artist, "Little beauty, please help me remove my makeup."
The actress angrily walked over to another dressing table next to Zhou Rui and sat down, saying irritably, "Transvestite."
"Blind man, are you talking about yourself? If it is, I think you're not beautiful enough to reach that level."
"If you're talking about me, then you're absolutely right. I am human, and I'm as beautiful as a fairy."
The actress was furious and slapped Zhou Rui across the face.
Zhou Rui caught the slap that was swinging at him with his backhand. "I don't usually hit girls, but you don't look like a girl at all."
The girl screamed, "Indecent assault!"
Zhou Rui was stunned by what he heard, and even the makeup artist next to him thought that the woman in front of him was crazy.
Her shouts attracted a group of people, who stood at the door chatting amongst themselves.
Seeing several people standing at the door, the actress became even more dramatic, shouting, "Look! He's a transvestite, and he tried to assault me!"
Zhou Rui couldn't take it anymore and slapped her across the face.
The sound was even louder than her scream.
She froze for a second after being hit, clutching half her face, and said fiercely, "Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me?"
"I don't care who you are. All I know is that you're asking for trouble."
"Is that half of your face itchy? If it is, I'll reluctantly endure the pain in my hand and give you another slap."

After finishing their scenes, He Muchen, Dong Siyan, and Kexin, who played the female lead, came over.
They noticed a lot of people standing at the entrance to the dressing room and became a little curious.
When the actress who had been beaten saw He Muchen and his group arrive, she cried pitifully.
"Brother Mu Chen, Brother Si Yan, Sister Ke Xin, you've finally arrived! He hit me, and he wanted to slap me again."
Zhou Rui's hand, which was about to be raised in mid-air, stopped.
He Muchen walked to Zhou Rui's side with a dark face. When Zhou Rui saw his dark face, he thought he was angry and had caused him trouble.
He Muchen took Zhou Rui's hand and asked, "Does your hand hurt?"
"It's not this hand, it's the other hand."
He Muchen immediately took his other hand and gently rubbed his palm, asking, "Does it still hurt?"
Zhou Rui shook his head happily; his hand didn't really hurt that much. It was probably the other person's face that hurt.
The girl felt even more aggrieved. Standing next to He Muchen, she cried out, "Brother Muchen, he hit me, boohoo... Look, my face is all swollen from his beating."
He Muchen's face darkened. "Do we know each other? Just call me brother."
"I know my assistant; he's very well-behaved and won't bite people randomly."
"Could you please tell me what you did to offend him?"
The girl's face turned ashen instantly, and she said guiltily, "I didn't say anything to him. He sexually assaulted me, and when I refused, he hit me."
"Is that so?" He Muchen said in a low voice.
The atmosphere in the dressing room was cold; it was the first time Zhou Rui had ever seen such coldness in his eyes.
The actress playing the female lead stepped forward and tried to smooth things over with a smile, saying, "There must be some misunderstanding here."
"Is that so? A misunderstanding? Who's misunderstanding whom?" He Muchen spoke again in his cold voice.
Even actress Kexin, who was trying to ease the tension, shut up when she saw his indifferent expression.
The makeup artist standing to the side explained, pointing to the brainless actress, "It was that one who called him a transvestite and even tried to hit him."
"He was just acting in self-defense. He grabbed her wrist, and she yelled that he was falsely accusing him of molestation and calling him a transvestite."
"That's why they got beaten."
The actress took a few steps back, looking guilty. "I didn't. She's talking nonsense and twisting the truth."
He Muchen suddenly stood up, his face dark and sullen. Zhou Rui was startled, afraid that he might impulsively hit her.
She quickly grabbed He Muchen's arm and said in a coquettish tone, "My hand still hurts. Can you rub it for me again?"
He Muchen's expression softened instantly, and he turned to Zhou Rui gently, saying, "Could you wait for me a moment? I'm going out to make a phone call."
When Zhou Rui heard that he was going out to make a phone call, he was relieved; he wasn't going to fight.
Okay~
When He Muchen walked out of the dressing room, he glanced at the actress with a dark expression.
He Muchen called his older brother, who answered the phone.
"Hey, Mu Chen, what brings you back to your older brother?"
"If someone bullies your sister-in-law, are you going to do anything about it?"
"Who? Does he want to die?"
"Tell your brother, and he'll beat him up for you."
"Brother, this is a society governed by law. We won't resort to violence."
"I have a way to make her wish she were dead."
"If you have a solution, why did you come to me?"
"This isn't someone's backer; it just happens to be someone you know."
"I think this person is no good, and I suspect the person behind her is also a bad person."
"Brother, shouldn't you consider cooperating with the Li family?"
"That Li family?"
"Li Mingzhi".
"Oh, I see."
“When are you going to bring your sister-in-law home so that your sister-in-law and I can meet her? Your sister-in-law keeps talking about it to me.”
"When I have time, brother, don't forget what I told you. I want to see results as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll make a call right now to terminate all cooperation with the Li family."
He Muchen hung up the phone with a smile. His wife was still waiting for him to massage her hands.

After watching He Muchen leave, the actress breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything was over. However, not long after, she received a call from Li Mingzhi, who was keeping her as a sugar daddy.
Li Mingzhi gave her a severe scolding and said he was breaking up with her.
Before she could even react, the assistant director called her over, gave her a good scolding, and told her to pack her things and get out of there.
She had just finished listening to the assistant director's rant when she received a call from her agent saying that the company wanted to terminate her contract.
She was furious. It must be He Muchen's doing. They must have a close relationship. If he won't let me have an easy time, I won't let them have an easy time either.
She went straight to the dressing room to find He Muchen and Zhou Rui, intending to secretly take pictures of them.
Before she even reached the dressing room, she saw the two of them intimately linked arms and kissing.
She immediately took out her phone and recorded a video. After recording the video, she was very excited and gritted her teeth, muttering to herself, "You perverts, if you don't let me have a good time, I won't let you have a good time either."
"You just wait, the brighter you smile now, the more miserable you'll be in the future."
