Nan Chen’s razor-sharp eyes squinted as he turned to Ning Ran.
The assistant, Jiang Zhe, knew Nan Chen well and noticed that he is unhappy so he immediately asked the director in Nan Chen’s place. “Director Wong, what exactly happened here?”
Naturally, Luo Fei couldn’t let the director explain the whole situation because she needed Nan Chen to think that she had been bullied.
“Tell him, director! The script doesn’t have that scene in the first place. That Ding Mi added it in the last minute and slapped me, getting my face all swollen.”
“Everyone in this industry had to be nice to me as a sign of respect to Nan Chen, but that Ding Mi bullied me. If this news gets out, does that mean that everyone will start thinking that it’s alright to hurt me?”
“I’m but an actress. Being slapped is nothing, but Nan Chen’s reputation is too important.” “Director, if you don’t do something about it today, I’ll have to back out of this movie,” Luo Fei sobbed in between words.
Luo Fei’s acting skill had always been terrible, but this time, she aced it.
The director’s pressure became enormous instantly. He knew the truth, but Luo Fei was using Nan Chen to pressure him, and he had to admit defeat.
The director walked towards Ning Ran, pointed at her nose, and shouted, “What is wrong with you?!”
“Your role as the second female lead was granted by Nan Chen! You did not treasure this opportunity and caused so much trouble on set!”
“Go apologize to Ms. Fei now! If she doesn’t accept it, I will cancel our agreement and hire another actress!”
The director was desperate to show his dissatisfaction so he accidentally spat a little saliva at Ning Ran. Ning Ran moved her head to avoid the spewing saliva but she remained calm.
Nan Chen arriving, Luo Fei lying, the director being pressured… she had expected all that.
If Nan Chen had taken a look at the previous two NGs, he would understand that the troublemaker was not Ning Ran.
But she knew he wouldn’t do that.
He was the king who controlled a corporate empire worth billions. He didn’t have the time to figure out the truth behind these small matters.
At that moment, all Nan Chen cared about was the fact that the woman who was known as his girlfriend had been slapped in public. It didn’t matter why she was slapped.
Anything done to hurt his reputation is a mistake.
Mistakes must be rectified and apologies must be made. Nan Chen didn’t care enough to listen to any explanation.
