He really wanted to ask her what she was thinking.
But... he was afraid that she would be angry, so he didn't dare to ask.
Only after Xia Xingchen and Gong Bingye's backs completely disappeared did Li Li retract her gaze and whispered to Xiao, "Let's go."
As soon as Li Li turned her head, Xiao saw the wound on her face. He stepped forward and turned her face away. Seeing that her face was red and swollen, Xiao felt heartbroken.
While feeling distressed, a surge of anger surged in his heart. He turned around, glared at the woman, and asked fiercely: "You beat me up?"
Facing Xiao's anger, the woman was not afraid at all. Instead, she said confidently, "It's necessary for the plot. Any problem?"
Xiao warned her word by word, "It's better this way. If I find out that you're using public power to take revenge on your personal grudge, I'll make sure you don't get away with it."
"Tsk!" The woman glanced down at him condescendingly and walked away arrogantly.
At this time, Li Li pulled up Xiao's sleeve and advised: "Forget it, let's go."
Although she had no grudges against Bai Rou and this was their first collaboration, she somehow always felt that Bai Rou was hostile towards her.
In the drama, she plays the mistress, while the female lead, Bai Rou, is a person with a clear distinction between love and hate. Every time Bai Rou comes to seek revenge on her, Bai Rou always suggests taking three or four takes of a scene that could have been done in one take, or even more...
As a result, she has been injured almost every day since filming this movie.
Bai Rou is a movie queen, how could she have such poor acting skills?
So... Li Li vaguely felt that Bai Rou was deliberately targeting her. As for why Bai Rou was targeting her, she thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Xiao didn't know about this at first. He happened to see it when he passed by the crew where they were filming after work.
Since then, Xiao was very worried about her. During this period, as soon as he finished work, he would rush to see Li Li.
He also wanted Li Li to quit the show, but Li Li insisted on her own opinion and Xiao didn't say much.
The only thing he could do was to send Li Li home safely and give her medicine.
Her body ached, and his heart ached too.
Bai Rou returned to the set and acted coquettishly to the director, "Director, someone was making trouble just now, why didn't you do anything about it?"
The director coaxed, "Oh, my little ancestor, that's the prince of Lidu, we can't afford to offend him!"
Just now, as soon as Bai Rou called him, he went. However, not far away, he recognized Xia Xingchen. Everyone knew that Xia Xingchen was the prince's girlfriend. If Xia Xingchen was there, the prince must be there too.
After thinking it over again and again, he turned back in shame.
Bai Rou pouted and pretended to be angry, "Then I'm going to add another scene of bullying Li Li."
The director immediately agreed, "Okay, as long as you are happy, it's up to you."
Only then did a smile appear on Bai Rou's face.
While the director was busy with other things, Bai Rou walked aside and called Mingjie, "Hello? Brother Jie, I saw Xia Xingchen today."
"Just as you expected, she really stood up for that damned Li Li and even encouraged her to quit the show."
Mingjie's voice came from the receiver, "Don't worry, with Li Li's courage and family conditions, she won't quit the show. You should take this opportunity to bully Li Li and severely injure Xia Xingchen."
Doesn’t Xia Xingchen value sisterhood the most?
This time, I'll start with Li Li and give her a severe blow.

Li Li knew that Xia Xingchen didn't let her act because it was for her own good, but she had always been immersed in the beautiful fantasy that Gong Bingye would stand up and protect her. With Gong Bingye's words, she was no longer afraid even if the sky fell.
So, the next day, she directly refused to answer the director's call.
On the third and fourth days, she still refused.
It wasn't until the fifth day that Li Li's agent knocked on Li Li's door.
As soon as she saw her agent, Li Li panicked.
Without thinking, she knew the purpose of the agent's visit.
"Little Jasmine, you've been so popular for a few days, you've really become quite capable." The agent barged into her face the moment she entered the room. "How dare you repeatedly refuse the director's calls? Do you know that your unreasonable behavior has prevented the crew from filming normally? Because of you, you've delayed so many people. You want to quit, but you still want to bring trouble to everyone else?"
"Bai Rou is a movie queen. It's a blessing for you to be able to work with her in your first movie. Don't be ungrateful."
"Pack up quickly and get back to filming."
"If you have other thoughts, don't blame me for being rude."
Li Li stood there, silent. After a while, she spoke weakly, "But, my character is a bitch, and I get beaten every day. I..."
In fact, she was a little hesitant. She felt that Xia Xingchen was right. Although she was good at acting, her body could not bear to play a mistress who was beaten every day.
"That's the role you're meant to play. The harder Bai Rou hits you, the more satisfying it gets for the audience," the agent said angrily. "Why did you accept the role in the first place if you want to quit now?"
Thinking of the past, her eyes became dim.
Yes, thinking back then, she shouldn't have been tempted by the high pay. Plus, she was going to work with the movie queen Bai Rou, so she agreed without a second thought.
Who knows...
Things will become like this!
Seeing her lifeless look, her agent got angry and said, "The director said that you can quit the role, but you have to pay ten times the liquidated damages."
"Ten times?" Li Li was stunned. "Doesn't the contract only say twice?"
Agent: "Who told you not to answer the director's calls these days? Isn't the time wasted these days worth money?"
Li Li gritted her teeth in anger, but she knew she was powerless to resist. A feeling of grievance and sadness suddenly surged into her heart, and her eyes became wet.
The agent turned a blind eye and continued to pressure her, "If you think you're rich, you can quit the show. I don't care. At most... I'll find more resources for you, but... if you keep acting like a big shot like this, I'm sorry, I can't support you anymore."
"You're on your own!"
After the agent finished speaking, he slammed the door and left. He didn't even enter the living room, let alone sit on the sofa.
As soon as her agent left, Li Li could no longer hold back her tears and started to shed big tears. At this moment, she felt extremely helpless.
She didn't understand why everyone was trying to force her. She saw that the wounds on her face had healed, but she was getting new ones.
She wanted to call Xia Xingchen, so she took out her cell phone, but when she dialed the number, she hesitated.
She has already troubled Xia Xingchen too much, perhaps... she can no longer rely on her!
*
Xia Xingchen finally got the job she wished for. The reporters tried every possible way to interview Xia Xingchen but failed, so they gradually gave up.
Xia Xingchen was a little busy during the past two days because she hadn't worked for several days. It was five days later when she finished her work. Only then did she remember Li Li.
So, she immediately called Gong Bingye, "Ye, I want to meet the director of Li Li's play."
