"Smack!"
Another slap landed on her face, and she had lost count of how many times it had happened. She had touched up her makeup several times already.
All that remained was a numb sensation on her skin; she had forgotten what pain felt like.
Muttering her lines in a daze, she managed to put on a mocking expression that fit the scene.
"What does it matter if you hit me? Your man doesn’t want you; he loves me. You can slap my face, but you can't touch his heart!"
It was still the same line, repeated without any resistance.
Jin Jingfan watched coldly for a while before letting out a sneer. "You really can endure. Honestly, I have no deep-seated grudge against you. It’s just that you have an unruly boyfriend, so you deserve this. Who told your man to catch the eye of Ye Meiqi?"
With a disdainful remark, Jin Jingfan waved her hand impatiently. "You're not in good shape; let’s continue filming this afternoon!"
As Jin Jingfan left, everyone else followed suit.
However, when she caught sight of a man watching the scene with great interest from a distance, shock flashed in her eyes.
Ye Shao? What is he doing here?
She was surprised for just a moment in her heart, but no one dared to approach him.
Including Jin Jingfan, who wanted to go over but ultimately hesitated. Such a man was beyond her reach. Yet, instinctively, she adjusted her hair and walked by with charm, hoping he would glance her way.
In an instant, the crew had cleared out completely.
An Nuan stood dazed in place, Jin Jingfan's words still echoing in her ears.
It turned out that it wasn’t because she and Shuo Shuo had offended this capable person earlier, nor was it because Jin Jingfan was jealous of her as his ex-girlfriend. The real culprit was Xiao Ruoyu, who stood beside Ye Meiqi.
Xiao Ruoyu, you truly have a cruel heart!
"Nuannuan, why aren't you moving? What’s wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
After a long pause, Nuannuan didn't respond, and Shuo Shuo's eyes turned red with worry.
Nuannuan let out a cold laugh, but in that moment, her eyes betrayed her and turned red as well.
"I'm fine. I just got slapped a few times; it's not like I'm going to die."
Was she feeling wronged?
To say she wasn't would be a lie.
But what could she do?
She could only blame herself for not heeding warnings and for choosing the wrong people.
"Fine? Your face is all swollen, and you call that fine? Lu An Nuan, do you even take yourself seriously?"
Shuo Shuo couldn't help but shout, while An Nuan moved her lips slightly, each movement pulling at the surrounding muscles and making her teeth ache.
"Shuo Shuo, I might need some medicine; I really don't feel well."
Nuannuan covered her face and said painfully.
Shuo Shuo glanced at her and quickly replied, "Wait here; I'll go get something right now."
Shuo Shuo hurriedly left, and as An Nuan watched her retreating figure, she inevitably spotted a familiar person. She paused for a moment but then turned away as if she hadn't seen anything.
She knew that getting involved with this person would save her a lot of trouble, but she didn't want to.
What was the difference between her and Xiao Ruoyu if she did?
As An Nuan walked away, Ye Yunfeng raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly. He then lazily got up.
In the stairwell, An Nuan sat alone on the cold steps. Before she could even comfort herself, her phone began to ring incessantly.
Glancing at the unfamiliar number, An Nuan furrowed her brow slightly and hesitated before cautiously answering.
“Nuannuan, come quickly and save me! They’re going to beat me to death!”
The urgent cries for help on the other end were frantic and laced with tears, and she could even hear harsh threats.
“You little brat, if you don’t pay up today, I’ll chop off your hands!”
“No, please, I’ll pay. I’ll pay right away.”
With a low and submissive tone, she begged, then cried out to Nuannuan, “Nuannuan, please come save me! They’re going to chop off my hands! I promise this is the last time, I swear!”
“You’ve promised many times before. When will you really think of me? Mom, I’m so tired. How am I supposed to fill this bottomless pit?”
Why has no one ever thought of her? Why? Her eyes were red; she had pain but couldn’t cry. Who was she supposed to cry for? Who would pity her?
Suddenly, her phone was snatched away, and a deep yet pleasant voice said, “Your daughter has been blacklisted. From today onward, she has no money to give you.”
