Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“President Chu! What did I tell you just now? Enough is enough! Are you happy now? My actor is seriously injured! What am I going to do?”
Chu Yuhe stood up carelessly, straightening his jacket. “You’re the director and you’re supposed to be responsible for your crew. This is just a small matter. Can’t you handle it?”
Chu Yuhe was pushing all of the responsibility to him. Huang Guoqiang was furious.
“President Chu, everything was fine under my direction until you came and picked at it! I gave you my advice, but you wouldn’t listen. Now that there’s a serious incident, you push all the responsibility onto me? If you go on with this attitude, I don’t think it’s necessary to shoot this drama anymore. Go ahead and find whoever pleases you! I’m not directing anymore!”
Huang Guoqiang was a highly respected director in the industry whose opinions were taken very seriously. He was also a principled man and he had always acted in a fair and just manner.
He could tell at first glance that what had happened today was obviously Chu Yuhe trying to teach Jing Xi a lesson and avenge Xu Xinrou.
But since Chu Yuhe was an investor in the drama, he could not say anything.
Now the situation had escalated and these people wanted to place all the blame onto him. He could only tell them two words: No way!
Huang Guoqiang stormed off, extremely displeased with Chu Yuhe. Everyone in the crew was dumbfounded. What were they going to do now?
They had only begun shooting this new drama, and a lot of money had already been invested in it. Were they going to disband just like that?
…
Meanwhile, Ma Haodong carried Xu Xiyan to the car and rushed her to the hospital.
In the emergency room, the doctor diagnosed Xu Xiyan’s condition as shock.
It was fortunate that she was rushed to the hospital in time, otherwise, the consequences would have been nearly unimaginable.
When Xu Xiyan woke up, it was already dark outside. She opened her eyes and saw Ma Haodong at the bedside.
“Haodong?”
“Jing Xi, you’re awake.”
Ma Yindong was relieved that she had woken up.
Xu Xiyan winced as she tried to get up. Her chest was still in a lot of pain. She sucked in a breath of cold air and fell back on the bed.
“Where am I, Haodong?”
“Don’t move! You’re hurt. You need to lie down and rest.”
Ma Haodong held her down on the bed and told her, “You’re in the hospital now. You went into shock while you were filming.”
Ma Haodong furrowed his thick eyebrows, wrinkling his forehead. What if he hadn’t come to visit her on the set? He shuddered at the thought.
What would those people have done to her?
“I was in shock?”
Xu Xiyan only remembered that there was great pain and then everything turned black. There was nothing else she could recall after that. How would she have known that she had gone into a serious shock?
“Yes. You could’ve been killed if I hadn’t rushed you to the hospital in time,” said Ma Haodong starkly.
“Thank you, Haodong, you’re such a good bro. I shall never forget your great kindness, as long as I live.” Xu Xiyan spoke exaggeratedly, trying to lighten the mood.
“Yes, you owe me your life. Now I’m going to think about how you could repay me,” Ma Haodong said, scratching his chin, looking like a haughty young noble.
“Well, I’ll let you think about it. Except for my body, I can promise you everything else,” Xu Xiyan said, laughing.
Ma Haodong stared seriously at her for a while as he contemplated. “Okay then. Let’s play three hundred rounds of battles after you’ve recovered.”
He wanted to play an online game with her? What a trivial request!
Xu Xiyan agreed. “Deal!”
The two continued to talk for a while. Ma Haodong’s mobile phone kept ringing. Xu Xiyan asked, “Haodong, why don’t you pick up the call?”
“It’s okay, it’s only my agent. He wants me to go back to the studio.”
Ma Haodong did not answer the phone and did not reply the text messages either. He had stubbornly ignored the calls of his agent and the film crew. He only wanted to stay with her.
Xu Xiyan did not want to delay the progress of his filming because of her.
“Haodong,” she said. “You should go back to the studio. I’m fine now. I’ll call my friend to come over and accompany me later.”
