Chapter 74: Did the warning sink in?

Ru Caiying looked up and, seeing the newcomer, her face lit up with joy.

"Antwei, you’re here just in time."

In that brief moment of distraction, the woman beneath her seized the opportunity and aimed a scratch at her face.

But a hand, quick as lightning, caught the woman’s wrist, saving Ru Caiying from a disfigurement just in time.

She was set to join the crew tomorrow, and any facial injury would delay the film’s shooting.

The consequences would be severe.

The woman, in pain and unable to move, shouted, "You all just wait. I know people at Tianlu Bank, you know Tianlu Bank? It’s as easy to deal with you as crushing ants."

Shen You’an raised an eyebrow.

Qi Baotan helped Ru Caiying up.

"Caiying, let’s go to the hospital first, your head is bleeding."

Ru Caiying nonchalantly said, "It’s not life-threatening."

She looked down at Yu Jiarui and sneered, "Isn’t your backer Zhao Mingtian? How did it turn into Tianlu Bank now?"

With such demeanor, she’s worthy?

She had just come out of the restroom and noticed Yu Jiarui touching up her makeup in the mirror. Ru Caiying hadn’t intended to do anything to her, but this woman had been offensive, insulting her.

Ru Caiying held back since she wanted to join the crew smoothly the next day.

As she was about to leave, the woman took advantage of her unawareness and tried to trip her.

That was intolerable.

Wasn’t she planning to take advantage of her injuries to seize her role? Well, she would definitely not let things go her way.

In the past, Ru Caiying had worked on martial arts films and learned some basic self-defense skills, dealing with her was a piece of cake.

Of course, Ru Caiying accidentally got her head injured by giving her an opening, but such an injury was nothing to her.

She wasn’t as precious as today’s stars, having endured all kinds of hardships during film shooting in the early years.

"Let go of me." Yu Jiarui struggled, and Shen You’an let go, stepping back.

Yu Jiarui got up from the ground, pointed at Ru Caiying and Shen You’an, and said, "You’re done for. President Zhao is right here, having dinner with the management of Tianlu Bank, if I complain to President Zhao, Tianlu Bank will surely consider President Zhao’s influence, and we’ll see if they’ll let you off easy."

Yu Jiarui was truly fuming. She thought she could nab the role with some maneuvering, but it turned out to be a futile effort.

Seeing Ru Caiying’s face, she couldn’t help but utter sarcasm; the more patient Ru Caiying was, the less Yu Jiarui could control herself, her malice getting the better of her in an instant.

If Ru Caiying’s face was ruined, would she have a chance then?

Then things developed as they had.

Ru Caiying was not disfigured, but Yu Jiarui got a good beating.

Shen You’an said plainly, "The management at Tianlu Bank has sharp eyes, how could they not see through your deceitful face?"

"I’m deceitful? She’s clearly the deceitful one, isn’t she? An aged woman past her prime, occupying a role undeservedly, who knows if it was some old man’s favor that got her the investment, hmph."

Yu Jiarui finally broke down, after cursing, she lay on the ground, rummaged through her bag for her phone, and called Zhao Mingtian. As soon as the line was connected, she quickly began sobbing, playing the victim pitifully.

Zhao Mingtian could no longer hold back, immediately storming out of the private room, rushing over angrily to confront them.

"Oh Brother Tian...," Yu Jiarui threw herself into Zhao Mingtian’s arms, pitiful and aggrieved.

"It’s them, ganging up together to bully me, look at my face, it’s ruined, I can’t live like this..."

Yu Jiarui’s face was covered in slap marks, swelling high and shocking to see.

Zhao Mingtian was both heartbroken and enraged, staring coldly at Ru Caiying’s face, "You vicious woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion, you’re nothing compared to even Ruirui’s fingernail, yet you wish to star in Director Cen’s new film? Dream on! Let me be clear, Mr. Huo from Tianlu Bank’s film investment center just had dinner with me, if I tell him about your wicked deeds, do you think he would still consider someone like you?"

Ru Caiying was slightly startled, Yu Jiarui wasn’t lying earlier, Zhao Mingtian really knew Mr. Huo.

In this age, no amount of strength could counter nepotism.

However, the Mr. Huo she met that day wasn’t one to endorse unjust acts.

Ru Caiying calmed down, letting out a cold laugh, "Then go ahead, call Mr. Huo out, let him judge who is truly at fault."

Zhao Mingtian didn’t expect Ru Caiying to be this confident; he had just argued with Mr. Huo, how could Mr. Huo possibly favor him?

However, with his elder brother around, as long as Supervisor Gao and Mr. Huo show respect to his elder brother, that would
