The voice sounded strangely familiar. Qiao Qing’s eyebrows twitched and she headed towards the source of the sound.
Inside a fake man-made lake, a girl was doing her best to keep her head above water. Her body moved up and down and it was obvious that she didn’t know how to swim.
By the side, there was a large crowd of people watching the show – some were watching with a cold expression, some were watching while crying. None of these people were holding a camera.
In other words, this wasn’t a scene.
Though the girl in the man-made lake had wet hair covering half of her face, Qiao Qing could tell that it was Lin Xiyan.
She jolted forward like an arrow and jumped into the lake.
By the time she dragged Lin Xiyan up to land, they were both soaking wet.
Only then did Qiao Qing see the costume Lin Xiyan was wearing. She gently got the hair out of Lin Xiyan’s face, “What happened? Who did this to you?”
Before Lin Xiyan could answer, a girl standing on the side dabbed at the tear on her face. She pointed at one of the actresses watching the show and said, “It’s Fu Siying! She kept on NGing. The director saw that Lin Xiyan and her have a similar silhouette so asked Xiyan to be her stunt woman for one scene. Xiyan’s scene was good after one try so the director praised her. Fu Siying was embarrassed so she pushed Xiyan down during her break.”
The actress named Fu Siying darkened her expression.
“What are you talking about?! She’s the stupid one who slipped yet you’re blaming me for it?! Plus, I’m the lead actress for this film. Why would I find trouble with an extra?!”
The girl continued, “You asked your assistant to push her. I saw it with my own eyes!”
Lin Xiyang, “Lili…”
Fu Siying snickered and didn’t argue anymore, “Should I call you a good friend or a stupid one?”
“You’re complaining to a random girl for the sake of a person you’ve only known for a few days. Is that random girl going to help that little friend of yours?”
“Do you know who I am?! Not only am I the female lead for this project, but I’m also the daughter of one of the four powerful forces from the Capital City, the Fu family. I’m the little sister of Fu Xiuyu, the CEO of Xingchen Entertainment!”
“You’re trying to offend me? Do you want your careers to end?! I will show you the consequences of angering me! You two, wait for your termination notice!”
Lin Xiyan and Zhang Li immediately appeared nervous.
Fu Siying then tried to get away to find the director. However, she felt her shoes getting hit. She slipped and with a loud “ahhh!”, she fell into the lake.
“Siying!”
“Siying!”
Fu Siying’s assistant, Chen Xiaoya, ran around in a circle and shouted at the production workers, “Siying doesn’t know how to swim! Why aren’t you helping her!? Siying is a girl! If she gets hurt, none of you can get away!”
Just then, something hit her waist and she too fell into the lake with a thump.
Now, both of them were struggling in the water.
Only then did the workers realize what was happening. Quickly, they jumped into the water to help.
Zhang Li watched everything unfold and her jaw dropped in shock.
Lin Xiyan looked over to Qiao Qing dumbfoundedly. Her lips parted, “Qingqing, did you do that?”
Qiao Qing pursed her lips, “You’re scared to get fired?”
“NO!” Lin Xiyan’s head shook. Her small face was full of smiles, similar to a girl in love.
“Chen Xiaoya reminded me of that person who suddenly kneeled down last time at the Go Competition. Qingqing, you’re so cool!”
Qiao Qing, “…”
Just then, Fu Siying and Chen Xiaoya were dragged up to land by the workers.
The moment Fu Siying got on land, she went up to Qiao Qing in a fury, “Did you do that just now?! Speak!”
