It was rare to hear Ji Feng speak in such a strong tone, and Song Mai frowned in confusion.
When Ji Feng and he didn't hear her response on the phone, they anxiously asked, "Are you listening?"
"I'm dealing with work right now. If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and get back to it." Song Mai didn't know why she was so agitated, but she patiently hung up the phone.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Yao Qianyu asked with concern, "Who called?"
"Monsoon and..."
Song Mai stated his name frankly and openly, with a composed expression.
Because she knew that the conflict between her and Yao Qianyu had been resolved, and they would no longer argue with each other because of this man as before.
Helplessly, Yao Qianyu raised her phone, which displayed the name Ji Fenghe.
"Speak of the devil, and he appears. He just called you and then called me right away."
"Perhaps there really is something important?" Song Mai frowned and pondered, unable to figure out what could possibly make him make two phone calls in a row.
Yao Qianyu could only nod: "You guys continue discussing the makeup and styling, I'll go make a call."
Gu Jia was at her wit's end, tilting her head as she stared at the two of them: "Can we continue or not?"
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Song Mai took out the contract that Yao Qianyu had prepared in advance, and handed it to her after confirming that it was correct.
Gu Jia glanced at it briefly and hastily signed her name.
Turning her head to look at the green pearl in the open box beside her, Gu Jia's face was full of joy.
She reached out to touch it with satisfaction, but Song Mai stopped her in time: "Pearls that have not undergone protective processing are very likely to be scratched after being touched, so it's better to be careful."
Gu Jia sneered: "Do you think my hands are as rough and unusable as yours?"
Song Mai looked down at her slender fingers and knew that Gu Jia's words were just a display of her narcissism, so she didn't take them to heart.
However, because of the advice she had just received, Gu Jia did not continue to take action.
She sighed silently, then suddenly asked, "Do you also think I'm very rude?"
The question came so suddenly that Song Mai didn't know how to answer it for a moment.
She lowered her head and carefully examined the clothes on the hanger, then said in a deep voice, "It's about how you conduct yourself; no one can criticize you for that."
"You are really good." Gu Jia looked at her with a smile, but there was a hint of regret in her eyes.
Song Mai couldn't tell what kind of emotion this was; she only felt a sense of complexity in her heart.
Everyone has their own troubles and shadows. Gu Jia appears glamorous on the surface, but you can sense that she wants to use radical methods to protect the shadows in her heart.
Song Mai didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only smile and say, "It's okay, which color scheme would you like to try today?"
What do you think of pink?
Gu Jia's gaze fell on the green pearl, her eyes shining.
She smiled and looked at Song Mai, seemingly waiting for her response.
Song Mai nodded approvingly: "It's worth a try."
The green pearl was borrowed after all, so it couldn't be worn directly. Song Mai didn't know how Gu Jia planned to handle it, so she could only prepare clothes and related cosmetics on her own.
A professional makeup artist was already waiting quietly on the side, and the staff and filming crew were also eager to get started.
Everything was waiting for Song Mai to calm Gu Jia down.
Just as she finished changing her clothes and was about to put on makeup, Gu Jia suddenly lost control of her emotions and threw everything she was holding onto the ground.
She spoke up angrily, pointing at the makeup artist with a face full of rage.
"What kind of makeup did you give me? If you can't do it properly, get out of here right now!"
Everyone present cowered in fear in a corner, except for Song Mai, who frowned and watched her silently.
This scene was very strange and left many people puzzled.
How could a perfectly normal person suddenly change their personality?
The only explanation is that she has developed severe mental problems.
At the same time, Yao Qianyu asked in shock, "What did you say? Gu Jia has schizophrenia?"
"I just found out from her agent. There's no time to explain. We need to make sure Mai Zi is safe right now," Ji Fenghe said anxiously.
Yao Qianyu turned her head and looked at the commotion coming from not far away, realizing that something was seriously wrong.
She quickly called security, and then rushed into the dressing room with everyone without stopping.
As expected, the thing I was most worried about still happened.
The moment the door opened, all anyone saw was Gu Jia holding Song Mai tightly in her arms, her face full of anger.
She brandished a knife in her other hand, her face contorted with malice.
What are you doing here?!
Yao Qianyu watched this scene nervously, forcing a smile as she reassured him, "The live broadcast is about to start, and I wanted to see if you're ready."
"Why didn't you make that pearl into a necklace for me? Are you looking down on me?" Gu Jia continued to brandish the knife in her hand.
The people present gasped, worried for Song Mai.
Ji Fenghe pushed open the door and entered at that moment, immediately speaking softly: "You must not do anything impulsive. Talk it out, and everyone can help you."
"All I want is a necklace, why is it so difficult?" Gu Jia sneered. "Do you all look down on me, and that's why you think I'm not worthy?"
After finishing her work, Shen Xiujing opened her phone and saw a trending topic appear before her eyes.
This trending topic was related to a live stream video. He clicked on it on a whim and saw that Song Mai was being held hostage.
His eyes widened, and he quickly put down what he was holding and rushed to the Yao Group.
Chu Yunxing learned about this through the live stream and rushed here with his men.
As more and more people gathered outside the door, Gu Jia became increasingly frantic.
She laughed triumphantly: "It seems I didn't kidnap the wrong person. She's actually so important to you."
Chu Yunxing said anxiously, "If you are willing to release her, this pearl is yours."
Song Mai was so constricted that she could hardly breathe and was gasping for fresh air.
While Gu Jia was distracted, she suddenly turned around and tried to escape, but Gu Jia noticed her in time.
The dagger plunged heavily into Song Mai's palm, and as blood slowly flowed from the wound, Song Mai felt no pain whatsoever.
Her eyes were glazed over, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
Upon seeing the bright red blood, Gu Jia became even more frantic. After releasing Song Mai, she ran around wildly until she was finally pinned to the ground by the police and bodyguards who arrived at the scene.
Song Mai was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
The treatment was extremely painful, but Song Mai only frowned and remained silent.
Even the doctor couldn't bear to see her so stubborn.
