Chu Yuhe was now afraid. Very afraid.
He had been under Xu Xinrou’s control. All his assets were being managed by her. He was trapped.
If Xu Xinrou had found out what he had said, it was very likely she would kill him.
“Since you can’t do it, then you should pay me the money. Don’t wait until it’s too late and things get ugly, or it will be a lose-lose situation for all of us!”
Chu Yuhe was curling up in fear. Xu Xiyan shoved him away and pushed past him, but Chu Yuhe got in her way again.
The pitiful face he’d just put on was gone, replaced by a vicious look.
“Yanyan, don’t try to push me! You don’t know what I’m capable of doing if you push me too hard!”
“What? Are you threatening me?”
“Yes! I am threatening you! Don’t act all high and mighty in front of me, b*tch! Do you believe that I can ruin you now?”
Chu Yuhe furrowed his brow hard, and his face looked terrible. He looked almost mad, eager to take his revenge.
He approached Xu Xiyan and lunged at her, catching her off guard. He grabbed her, trying to press her to the ground.
Xu Xiyan was no longer the weak little flower that she used to be. If he touched her, she would rip him apart like a bloodthirsty carnivore!
Xu Xiyan raised her elbow and struck his armpit. The pain made Chu Yuhe release her. Then she lifted her knees and slammed them into his crotch.
“Ah…” Chu Yuhe held onto his crotch, his face contorted with pain.
While he was moaning, Xu Xiyan quickly fled the scene.
Now she had completely offended Chu Yuhe. She had to be more careful next time and avoid him whenever he was around.
Even if she could not deter Chu Yuhe from messing with her again for the time being, Xu Xiyan would consider her own safety first, and avoid letting him have his revenge. He was the type of person who would do anything when driven to desperation.
Xu Xiyan arrived at the “Red Sleeved Beauty” set. She greeted the director and the crew and then went for her makeup.
They were going to shoot the 47th scene today. Under the pavilion, Wei Pingting was injured. Yao Yue secretly came to give her some medicine, but she was found out by Meng Jinxin. Meng Jinxin thought that she had stolen the medicine from her palace and betrayed her. Yao Yue knelt, clinging onto Meng Jinxin’s leg, trying to prove her loyalty. But Meng Jinxin was angry and kicked Yao Yue down the steps.
All the actors were in their positions and the cameras were standing by. When everything was ready, the director Huang Guoqiang shouted, “Action!”
Sitting under the pavilion, Yao Yue held onto Wei Pingting’s hand and examined her injury. “My lady, your burn wound looks serious. Here, I’ve brought some medicine. Let me help you.”
Deeply touched by her kindness, Wei Pingting held Yao Yue’s hand gratefully. “Thank you so much, Yao Yue. You’re the only one who is kind to me here in the palace! From now on, let us be sisters!”
Yao Yue smiled at Wei Pingting. Yao Yue happily called her sister, then helped Wei Pingting apply some medicine to her wound.
At this moment, Meng Jinxin and her maids passed by the pavilion, and saw her own maid caring for Wei Pingting. She became angry.
“How dare you steal the medicine from my palace for her!” Meng Jinxin yelled at her in a domineering manner.
Yao Yue was so frightened that she dropped the medicine bottle. She hurried forward and knelt in front of Meng Jinxin, clinging to her leg and explaining, “My lady! Yao Yue wouldn’t dare! Yao Yue did not steal the medicine! This medicine was given to me by the eunuch, Xiao Sunzi, at the medicine hall! I swear I did not steal it!”
“You unfaithful little maid! You dare lie to your own mistress?”
Meng Jinxin kicked Yao Yue and she rolled down the steps off the pavilion.
