Huang Guoqiang watched her turn away and was silent for a moment. He believed that he had not judged her wrongly. Jing Xi was talented and had great potential.

She was intelligent, courteous, and hardworking. It would make no sense for an actress like her not to become successful.

While contemplating, he suddenly came up with a bold idea. “I know how to change it,” he told the writer. “Here...and here...add a few more scenes for Jing Xi... Yes, that’s it. Let her be Lin Huaijin’s opponent.”

The director had the right to change the script and add more scenes whenever he desired. If Jing Xi’s performance was satisfactory, it could be possible to convert her minor palace maiden role into a proper supporting actress role.

On the way back, Xu Xiyan bumped into Xu Xinrou and her assistant, Wen Li.

Many people in the crew had said the reason that Xu Xinrou had kicked Xu Xiyan that day was for revenge.

In order to protect her reputation, Xu Xinrou pretended to express concern. “Jing Xi, you’re back for work today? Are you okay? Have you been injured?”

This bitch can really put on a show.

It would be a mistake not giving you the best drama queen award.

Xu Xiyan let out a snide chuckle and pulled out a hospital discharge receipt from her pocket. “I’m lucky that I’m not dead. You know what to do. This is my medical bill. Please reimburse me a total of 2,419 Yuan and 8 cents.”

Xu Xiyan had openly asked her for that meager sum of money, and Xu Xinrou had no words for her. She thought Xu Xiyan was more disgusting than a beggar.

Like hell she was going to pay her.

Xu Xinrou smirked at her. “Jing Xi, you were at the set when you were injured, so it was a work-related injury. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to ask for reimbursement from me?”

Xu Xiyan knew Xu Xinrou would not pay a single cent, but she would not let her off easily. She smiled and moved closer to her.

“If you won’t pay, I shall have a little chat with the police and tell them that you have tampered your shoes with the intention of murdering me. What would everyone say if they learned that a star actress like you tried to commit murder?”

Xu Xiyan only suspected that Xu Xinrou might have tampered with her shoes, since there was no real evidence. She was only trying to intimidate her now.

“How dare you,” Xu Xinrou said, grinding her teeth angrily.

“I have nothing to fear,” said Xu XIyan. “I’m just a nobody who has yet to make her debut. I’ve got nothing to lose.”

Xu Xiyan’s eyes glimmered, their darkness catching the light as she smiled amiably and gave the threat. Afraid now?

Xu Xinrou was beaten, though she had already told Wen Li to dispose of the shoes.

If Xu Xiyan was serious in her threats to escalate the matter, Xu Xinrou’s reputation would definitely be affected. It wasn’t worth the trouble.

Xu Xinrou had no choice but to grit her teeth and order Wen Li to pay Xu Xiyan 2,500 Yuan. Xu Xiyan pocketed the money and walked away.

Suddenly Wen Li grabbed her, “Have you forgotten the change?”

“What change?” Xu Xiyan said scornfully. “The change was not even enough to pay for the taxi fare that day. You’re lucky that I didn’t ask you to reimburse me for the lost time and mental distress, yet you still want the change?”

Xu Xiyan shook Wen Li off of her and walked away. Wen Li stomped her foot angrily and turned to Xu Xinrou,

“Xinrou, your sister is so arrogant.”

Not only had she been arrogant, but she had also gone too far in bullying them.

Xu Xinrou stifled her anger and told Wen Li, “You can submit the draft when it’s ready. Start from the smaller sites, and don’t let anyone trace it back to us.”

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Wen Li obeyed and immediately contacted the tabloid reporters.

Xu Xinrou sneered. Xu Xiyan, just wait and see!

There will be mud in your face soon. Haha! Let’s see how you wash it off!
