Chapter 9 - 9: I'm Scared I'll Die Young If I Be With You
"Director Li, after what happened yesterday, how can Third Young Master Huo still let Yan Jinyi remain a part of the cast? He's kind enough not to boycott her. Should we hurry up and get her replaced?"
The assistant suggested softly.
Yan Jinyi's name was now a taboo to Cheng Ruoxue and no one dared to mention it at all.
Director Li took a puff out of his cigarette and said, "Let's wait for some time, it's not that simple to replace an actor."
'Especially those who are as beautiful as Yan Jinyi.'
"However, you've seen Yan Jinyi hitting Third Young Master Huo yesterday, and maybe, Third Young Master Huo has already shredded her into bits. Since when has he been ill-treated in such a manner?"
'That makes sense.' Director Li thought.
Just as he was thinking about which actress might be suitable for the role, an eye-catching Pagani sped up and came to a steady halt at the side.
Not many people in the entire Shenyang would dare to drive their car straight into the studio.
"It's Third Young Master's car!"
Cheng Ruoxue, who was still scolding her assistant, stood up abruptly and scurried over with glistening eyes.
'I wonder what Third Young Master has done to that b*tch Yan Jinyi.'
'Hmph, that woman had the audacity to bully me and hit Third Young Master. She must have been dealt with harshly.'
After the door of the car was pushed open, Huo Zihang took the lead and alighted.
Dressed in stylish black streetwear and a pair of sunglasses, he leaned against the front of the car bonnet slovenly.
Cheng Ruoxue walked over and hugged Huo Zihang's arm affectionately, causing the women around her to be green with envy and jealousy.
"Third Young Master, when I got home last night, I discovered that my stomach was bruised. It must have been because I got kicked by Yan Jinyi! Third Young Master, you said that you liked my delicate skin the most and that you want me to take good care of it but now..."
'How dare you mention Yan Jinyi!?!'
'If it wasn't for you, would I have been beaten by Yan Jinyi?'
With a straight face, Huo Zihang retracted his arm from Cheng Ruoxue's hand.
At this moment, the car door was suddenly pushed open and Yan Jinyi got out of it slowly.
Cheng Ruoxue and the rest of the production crew were dumbfounded.
'Why is Yan Jinyi still alive?'
'She even came out of Third Young Master Huo's car!'
Cheng Ruoxue's expression changed a little and she asked, "Third Young Master, what's the matter with her? Why did Yan Jinyi come out of your car?"
"None of your business."
Hearing his words, Cheng Ruoxue gritted her teeth and asked pitifully, "Third Young Master, did I do something wrong? I'll change, okay? Don't be so fierce to me, I'm scared!"
Damn it!
Yan Jinyi opened her eyes and rubbed her ears in annoyance. "I didn't want to touch you at first because you're a pretty lady. However, you just had to kick up a fuss here. Don't blame me for being unkind to you!"
She strode forward to pull Cheng Ruoxue away from Huo Zihang. "I'm scared that I'll lose a significant amount of my lifespan if I continue being in the same cast as you."
'Yan Jinyi keeps talking in such an uncouth manner. Does she have no regards for her image anymore because she thinks that she's not famous enough?'
Cheng Ruoxue turned pale and she wondered if Yan Jinyi had become Huo Zihang's new girlfriend.
'No, this can't do. I had a hard time enduring the Moon Curse for a month and everyone thinks that I might be Third Young Master's true love, and the one who will become the Third Young Mistress of the Huo Family.'
'I can't let my plans be foiled like this!'
"Third Young Master, did this woman drug you to bewitch you? Yan Jinyi, this woman is very promiscuous and she has a bad reputation in the industry. She'll get close to any man who might be beneficial to her..."
Huo Zihang remained silent and subconsciously looked at Yan Jinyi. He initially thought that Yan Jinyi would fly into a rage and pin Cheng Ruoxue down against the ground to beat her into a pulp, but in the end...
"Director Li, this is my last scene, right? We can start filming now."
'Start filming?'
'You beat Third Young Master Huo and you still...'
Director Li glanced at Huo Zihang inquisitively.
"Ahem, she's helped me before and I'm not an ingrate. Hurry, get the cameras rolling."
'So that's why Yan Jinyi insisted on making me send her to the studio personally.'
