Xu Xiangbei’s voice thundered in everyone’s ears like a clap of lightning, making the onlookers shiver involuntarily, taking several steps back, not daring to make a sound.

Xu Xiangbei’s eyes were icy, glaring fiercely at the crowd, and he shouted, "No one should make any noise, or else you’ll be my enemy, Xu Xiangbei’s enemy. If anyone dares to curse her again, no matter who it is, I won’t let them off."

Everyone was stunned by Xu Xiangbei’s voice, frightened by his glare. They felt like Xu Xiangbei’s gaze was the look of death, sweeping across their faces, sending a chill from the bottom of their hearts, and none dared to meet his eyes directly.

Even President Huang was as silent as a cicada, as he knew Xu Xiangbei’s capabilities well. Twice he thought Xu Xiangbei would be destroyed by others, but instead, Xu Xiangbei’s opponents were the ones defeated.

Though President Huang disliked Xu Xiangbei, he also felt a bit of fear towards him.

The previously bustling studio suddenly became fearfully quiet, only Gu Xinyan’s light sobbing could be heard.

President Huang looked awkward, waved to the onlookers, and said, "Disperse, everyone disperse. Go do your own work, you only know how to watch the excitement, not work."

The onlookers gradually dispersed, while Xu Xiangbei held Gu Xinyan tightly and left the set.

Gu Xinyan, like a docile kitten, didn’t lift her head, clinging tightly to Xu Xiangbei’s warm and broad chest. Her hands gripping tightly onto Xu Xiangbei’s arm, leaving nail marks, yet Xu Xiangbei allowed it.

As long it made Gu Xinyan feel a bit better, even if he had to lose a piece of flesh, Xu Xiangbei was willing to do so.

Bringing Gu Xinyan back to the Purple Gold Villa, he used a warm wet towel to wipe the tears and dirt from her face. Only after a while did Gu Xinyan calm down, but her eyes were still filled with sorrow.

She would rather that at the time Lu Yao had thrown her from the wheelchair, it was herself that fell, not Lu Yao.

The pain and sadness of being wronged, blamed, and cold-shouldered by everyone was a much more sinister and vicious damage than physical harm.

With physical wounds, as long as you apply the correct remedy, the pain can be relieved in a short time, and the wounds gradually heal.

However, the severe trauma to the heart and spirit is incurable, won’t heal for a long time, and some may even torment a fragile heart for a lifetime.

"I didn’t push her. She told me to give up the lead role in ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles’ to her, but I refused. She just fell down herself, I never harmed her, yet she treated me like this."

"I won’t let her frame you like this, I will make sure she suffers a hundred times the pain you’ve endured."

Special ward on the twentieth floor of Di Hai Renmin Hospital.

Lu Yao was eating tremella and bird’s nest, a piece of gauze wrapped around her head. President Huang, Director Feng, and Sister Li all stood in front of the hospital bed.

Sister Li’s face was flattering, "Sister Lu Yao, this tremella bird’s nest was cooked by President Huang’s instruction, it helps in recovering the wound. Alas, I didn’t expect Gu Xinyan to be so ruthless, actually pushing you off the viewing platform, it’s really vicious. Our sisters on the set are all sympathetic to you and wanted to come see you, afraid that too many people would disturb your rest, they sent me as a representative to visit."

Enjoying the delicious bird’s nest, Lu Yao felt secretly happy, that Gu Xinyan wants to fight me, she’s too naive.

She put on a sad expression and said, "Thank you Sister Li, Gu Xinyan is truly vicious. I just joked about her being a lame, and she pushed me down. Alas, I still considered taking her as a friend. President Huang, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have mocked her, even if she pushed me, it’s not all her fault."

Sister Li smiled flatteringly, but she knew Lu Yao’s character well. If Gu Xinyan had indeed pushed Lu Yao, Lu Yao would definitely have fiercely complained in front of President Huang. Now pretending to be magnanimous and self-blaming, she was clearly acting. She truly lived up to being Qinghai Film and Television’s top actress, both in acting and ruthlessness.

Gu Xinyan was framed by Lu Yao, pitiful yet deserving, who told you to be so favored by Director Feng.

President Huang chuckled, "Sister Lu Yao, your magnanimity is truly rare. Rest well, come back to the set to film when you’re better."

Throwing a coquettish glance at President Huang, Lu Yao’s eyes lingered on Director Feng, then coquettishly said, "Director Feng, I’m hurt like this, shouldn’t you comfort me a little? How about letting me play the lead role in your ’Immortal Spirit Chronicles’?"

Director Feng was frowning. He had been working with Gu Xinyan for a year, knowing she was a kind-hearted and innocent girl, and did not believe Gu Xinyan would push Lu Yao off the tiered stands.

When Lu Yao mocked Gu Xinyan, Director Feng heard it clearly, so it was reasonable that Lu Yao said Gu Xinyan took revenge.

Director Feng smiled faintly, "I’m still considering the lead role, Miss Lu Yao please rest well and don’t think too much, it’s not good for the work to heal."

It was for this role that she injured her head, making such a big sacrifice, she couldn’t just let Director Feng pass her over like this. She swayed her waist, voice as gentle as water, "President Huang, please let Director Feng choose me as the lead role, I guarantee I won’t speak carelessly in front of the media, to not shame the company."

President Huang rolled his eyes, in terms of choosing the lead role, he was inclined to let Lu Yao play it. He chuckled and jokingly said, "Director Feng, why not let Lu Yao be the lead role, she’s both famous and skilled enough to take on the role."

Seeing President Huang speak for her, Lu Yao was very pleased, "Director Feng, I didn’t have time previously, but for this film, I’ve turned down all the other offers and waited specially for your film."

Feeling the pressure from President Huang, Director Feng stroked his goatee but still insisted, "The lead role won’t be decided for now. We’ll discuss it in the group before finalizing. I shall take my leave now."

Watching Director Feng’s back, Lu Yao cursed under her breath, "Stubborn old man."

Sister Li tactfully followed Director Feng out of the hospital, knowing President Huang and Lu Yao’s relationship, she didn’t want to be the third wheel.

Seeing only herself and Lu Yao left in the ward, President Huang’s small eyes darted around, asking probingly, "Ah Yao, did Gu Xinyan really push you?"

Lu Yao coldly looked at Huang Qinghai, "What, you think it’s fake? Everyone in the studio saw it, they can all testify for me, and we have a camera in the front clearly capturing it. You’re really strange, I’m pushed, you don’t speak for me, but instead, you doubt me, what’s your deal?"

President Huang was an old hand in this industry, understanding the character of his artists well. Gu Xinyan seemed like the kind-hearted girl who wouldn’t even step on an ant while walking, he didn’t believe she would push someone down the tiered stands for revenge.

And Lu Yao was an expert actress, from her minor injuries and pleased expression, it wasn’t hard to see that this was a drama she had staged and directed herself.
