Chapter 39: Chapter 39: I Have a Way to Ruin Qiao Xi Completely

"Do you really have to wring every last ounce of value out of her until she’s completely useless before you’re willing to stop?"

Qiao Xi closed her eyes, suppressing the sourness in them.

They should have been the closest people in the world to each other, but how did it come to this?

Listening to Qiao Xi’s soft voice, Qiao Zhenbin’s fury subsided a little.

He softened his tone and cajoled her, "Xixi, our company can still collaborate with Ah Dang on other projects. Just give him a word, and he ought to make it up to me, his father-in-law, right?"

Qiao Xi let out a cold laugh.

But some people just never change.

Because they rot from within and don’t realize how bad their actions are—they only think it’s all natural.

Such a selfish person.

"You talk to him yourself!" Qiao Xi hung up the phone indifferently and then blocked his number.

Outside the filming set.

Qin Mo and Ning Xuexi finished shooting.

No sooner had Qin Mo gotten into the car than Ning Xuexi squeezed in.

Smiling at Qin Mo, she said, "Teacher Qin, give me a lift, will you?"

All the cast members were staying in the same hotel.

Without looking at her, Qin Mo’s voice was cold as he said, "Get out!"

He was gentle with Qiao Xi, though.

Ning Xuexi chuckled coldly in her mind, "Qin Mo, I have something to tell you, are you sure you want me to get out?"

Qin Mo showed no warmth, "Get out, Ning Xuexi, you’re truly loathsome."

Being called disgusting by someone you fancy feels like a needle stabbing at the heart.

The color drained slightly from Ning Xuexi’s face as she pinched her palm and chuckled, "Teacher Qin, I really didn’t mean to hit Qiao Xi. The director said that scene went well, why are you still blaming me?"

"I don’t blame you, I just find you annoying. Now you can get out," said Qin Mo as he looked at her with contempt.

"Qin Mo, isn’t this exactly a chance for you? Qiao Xi’s face is injured; she definitely needs someone, you know what I mean?"

Getting back into her own car, Ning Xuexi called Jian Yi.

One mixed in the advertising circle, the other in the film industry, but privately they were friends.

Ning Xuexi didn’t get along with Qiao Xi, and now with Jian Yi involved, they were even more antagonistic.

"Xuexi, got any good news?"

Crossing her legs, Ning Xuexi was somewhat triumphant, "I slapped Qiao Xi today; it felt like a real release."

"Really?" Jian Yi was delighted, "Why didn’t you capture her pitiful state and let me see?"

Laughing, Ning Xuexi said, "How could I capture it? You’ll see it when the movie comes out—it’s quite pitiful."

"Great, I’ll definitely go watch it."

Seeing Qin Mo walk into a pharmacy, a cold sneer formed on Ning Xuexi’s lips, "Jian Yi, I’ll talk to you later. I will definitely take a ruthless revenge on Qiao Xi for us!"

"Isn’t film shooting all about action scenes? Slapping back and forth is so boring," Jian Yi squinted, suddenly having an idea, "Xuexi, I have a plan that will surely ruin Qiao Xi!"

...

All the key actors lived on the same floor of the hotel.

Qin Mo arrived at Qiao Xi’s door and knocked.

Bei Bei, who hadn’t left yet, opened the door upon seeing Qin Mo.

"Teacher Qin, what brings you here?"

"Let’s go inside first; being seen is not good."

After entering, Qin Mo’s gaze fell on Qiao Xi’s face which was less swollen, but the red mark had not yet faded.

Forcing his eyes away, Qin Mo said, "Qiao Xi, I brought you some ointment, the pharmacy owner said it’s very effective."

Qiao Xi replied, "Bei Bei already helped me apply medicine, but thank you."

"Does your face still hurt?"

"Much better now."

"That’s good then."

Qin Mo still left the ointment, "I won’t need it, so you keep it. Take good care of yourself; I’m taking off."

Qin Mo didn’t linger long and left after a few words.

Picking up the ointment, Bei Bei marveled, "Teacher Qin really is such a good person."

With her face not fully healed and unable to wear makeup, Qiao Xi rested in the hotel for a day before heading to the set.

Director Ye frowned immediately, "Qiao Xi, your face hasn’t healed yet."

With a small smile, Qiao Xi said, "Makeup can cover it. Director, I don’t want to delay the filming."

The makeup artist admired her professionalism, looking at her perfectly beautiful face, "No problem, Teacher Qiao’s foundation is still there."

A fairy remains a fairy, and looking at her, there’s an added allure of imperfection.

After the makeup artist’s skilful hands, Qiao Xi’s face showed no trace of injury.

"Not bad." Having said that, Director Ye turned and reprimanded Ning Xuexi, "Don’t change the script without authorization next time!"

Playing the good girl, Ning Xuexi complied, "I got it, Director."

Since Qin Mo and Ning Xuexi had shot a few scenes ahead of time, Qiao Xi continued with the subsequent ones.

A week later.

The film crew changed shooting locations.

After the confession disrupted by Xu Jiajia, Gao Weiya decided to confess to Li Zhi a second time, planning to do so on a cruise ship.

The distant sky was azure, cloudless, the sea calm, and occasionally seagulls soared past.

The four-story cruise ship was a luxury enjoyed only by the nobility.

On the uppermost deck, with the wind howling, Gao Weiya had his men prepare a romantic confession scene.

The subordinates led Qiao Xi out from the cabin interior.

With strong winds on the ship, Qiao Xi wore a bright red cheongsam, a shawl draped over her shoulders, her hair up, a jade hairpin setting it in place, looking hauntingly graceful.

With her arrival, she outshone all the beautiful flowers on the deck.

Qiao Xi looked at the flowers strewn about, her face bathed in sunlight, "Weiya, what are you doing?"

Qin Mo came over, taking Qiao Xi’s hand, "Of course, I’m confessing to you, Zhizhi. The last time, Jiajia interrupted us, but not this time."

"Your childhood friend seems to have feelings for you."

No one supported their side.

Given the difference in their statuses, no one would acknowledge them.

"Zhizhi, you should understand my feelings."

Qiao Xi’s gaze revealed a trace of affection, "Understand what?"

"Good, cut! Xuexi, get ready for the next part!"

By virtue of Xu Jiajia’s status, she naturally made her way here.

She was determined to stop the two from being together!

Xu Jiajia, fueled by anger and fear, planned to once again drive away Li Zhi, that shameless woman.

Li Zhi, however, was going to fight back, even though she was considered lowly in this era, and in the eyes of those nobles, merely a plaything for their amusement.

But no one knew that Li Zhi’s family had fallen on hard times, or otherwise, she would not be forced into becoming the top courtesan.

It wasn’t just her face that was being struck, but her dignity as well.

Right, she was such a complex woman; she wanted to survive in this chaotic world, yet she still had her pride deep in her bones.

The makeup artist came over to touch up Qiao Xi’s makeup, while Bei Bei placed a sun-proof shawl on her.

"Sister Xi, about the next scene..."
