"Just focus on filming, I'm fine." Shang Ning suppressed the tremor in her voice, "I'm really fine."
"Don't worry about school matters, I'll handle them. As for your parents' situation, I'll figure something out."
"Jin Yining, I'm sorry, I think I've caused you trouble again." Shang Ning hugged her legs, her voice a little hoarse.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Shang Xiaoning, are you asking for a beating again?" Jin Yining was quiet for a while before speaking, "I'll arrive tomorrow afternoon."
"Who are you kidding? Sister Yang got you a new variety show, and you're supposed to go there tomorrow night, aren't you?" Shang Ning cried, her voice cracking and she couldn't catch her breath.
Jin Yining was heartbroken. He was talking to her on the phone in a corner of the film set, and his heart was pounding as he listened to her cry.
"If all else fails, I'll beg the old man. Even if your parents' affair is exposed, he can eventually suppress it."
"But you can't keep asking people for favors." Last time Jin Yining went to ask Leng Yexi for help because of her, and this time it's for her too.
"No one is the master of the world; there will always be times when we need help from others."
"You never asked anyone for help before you met me." Shang Ning knew better than anyone that before she appeared, even a prodigy like Jin Yining was someone others had to beg for.
"Can't you have a weakness in this life to prove that your life has been worthwhile? I'm lucky that your weakness is you."
"Don't say this now, it makes me uncomfortable," Shang Ning said in a muffled voice.
"Alright, Ning, let's stop pretending. You're not that kind of weak woman. Stop pretending. I know you too well."
"Get lost!" Shang Ning cursed and hung up the phone. She knew how to hang up too.
Jin Yining chuckled softly, glanced at her phone, asked her assistant for the schedule for tomorrow, and looked at it to see if she could squeeze out some time to go to Shang Ning's place in advance, and then go to the variety show recording site.
Jin Yining had discussed with the director that, in principle, if the scene could be filmed in one or two takes, tomorrow's scene would be completed quickly, but there would be many uncontrollable factors.
"Is there something you need, Teacher Jin?"
"Something came up at home," Jin Yining said.
The director nodded, "Okay, I'll see how to arrange it, and try to finish filming this morning."
Jin Yining thanked him before continuing to film. If he had left now, it would have been truly irresponsible of him.
Shang Ning sat for a while before getting up to wash her face. What kind of archaeology professor was she? She probably had connections with the Dragon Girl and the Ji family, and even knew that her parents were still alive.
Shang Ning took a nap in the afternoon and was woken up by a knock on the door. She got up and went to open it. "Who is it?"
Maodou waved outside and stamped her feet because it was too cold.
After looking through the peephole, Shang Ning hurriedly opened the door. "Why are you here?" Shang Ning said, looking up at the time. It had only been three hours since she hung up the phone with Jin Yining, and Maodou had basically gone to the airport immediately.
“Ning was worried about you being home alone, but he couldn’t leave his own place, so he asked me to come and keep you company.” Maodou shook off the snow as she came in and handed over the box she was holding. “Ning asked me to buy you this cake, saying it would make you feel better.”
Shang Ning closed the door, took the cake, placed it on the coffee table, poured some hot water, and handed it to Maodou, saying, "Sister Yang will definitely want to strangle me again if she finds out."
