"Smack!"
Another slap landed on her face. She had lost count of how many times it had happened; her makeup had already been touched up several times.
Her face was numb now; she no longer knew what pain felt like.
She recited her lines numbly, her expression surprisingly still able to conjure a sneer that fit the script.
"What good does hitting me do? Your man still doesn't want you. I'm the one he loves. You can strike my face, but you can't touch his heart!"
It was the same line, delivered without resistance from beginning to end.
Jin Jingfan watched with cold eyes, then after a moment, she sneered, "You truly have a high tolerance for pain. Actually, I don't hold any deep grudge against you. It's just that you have a troublesome boyfriend, so you deserve this. Whose fault is it that your man caught Ye Meiqi's eye?"
Jin Jingfan scoffed coldly and waved her hand impatiently. "Your condition isn't good right now. Let's shoot this afternoon!"
With that, Jin Jingfan left, and everyone else dispersed.
However, upon seeing a man watching the 'drama' with keen interest not far away, shock involuntarily surfaced in their eyes.
Young... Young Master Ye, how could he be here?
But the surprise remained unspoken; no one dared to approach him or strike up a conversation.
Even Jin Jingfan, despite her desire to approach him, ultimately hesitated. Such a man was simply beyond her reach. Still, she subconsciously smoothed the hair at her temples and walked past him with an air of allure, hoping to catch his eye.
In no time, the entire film crew had cleared out.
An Nuan stood blankly rooted to the spot, Jin Jingfan's words still echoing in her ears.
So it wasn't because she and Shuoshuo had just offended this influential person, nor was it Jin Jingfan's jealousy over her being an ex-girlfriend. The true culprit was still Xiao Ruoyu, the one by Ye Meiqi's side.
Xiao Ruoyu, you truly have a heart of stone!
"Nuannuan, why aren't you moving? What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Nuannuan remained motionless for quite a while, and Shuoshuo's eyes reddened with fright.
Nuannuan let out a cold laugh, though at that very moment, her eyes still betrayed her lack of resolve, glistening with unshed tears.
"I'm fine. Just a few slaps. It's not like I'm going to die."
Was she wronged? To say she wasn't would be a lie.
But what could she do? She could only blame herself for having poor judgment in people and for not heeding advice.
"Fine? Your face is swollen like this, and you call that 'fine'? Lu An Nuan, do you even value yourself at all?"
Shuoshuo couldn't help but let out a low growl. An Nuan moved her lips; each slight shift pulled at the surrounding muscles, making her teeth ache at the roots.
"Shuoshuo, I think I need some medicine. I really don't feel very well," Nuannuan said, clutching her face in pain.
Shuoshuo glanced at her and then said anxiously, "Wait here. I'll go right now."
Shuoshuo quickly left. Watching Shuoshuo's retreating figure, An Nuan inevitably caught sight of a familiar person. She froze for a moment, then walked away as if she hadn't seen a thing.
She knew that associating with this person could save her a lot of trouble, but she didn't want to.
If she did that, how would she be any different from Xiao Ruoyu?
Watching An Nuan leave, Ye Yunfeng raised an almost imperceptible eyebrow. Then he lazily stood up.
In the stairwell, An Nuan sat alone on the cold steps. Before she could even begin to comfort herself, her phone began to ring incessantly.
She glanced at the unfamiliar number, her brow furrowing slightly. After a moment's hesitation, she cautiously answered.
"Nuannuan, come quickly and save Mom! They're going to beat me to death!"
The frantic cries for help on the other end were laced with a whimper, and she could hear ruthless threats in the background.
"You bitch, if you don't pay up today, I'll chop off your hand!"
"No, don't! I'll pay, I'll pay right away!"
Her mother's voice, low and humble, pleaded for mercy before turning desperate as she wept, "Nuannuan, come quickly and save Mom! They're going to chop off my hand! Nuannuan, I promise this is the last time, I promise!"
"You've already promised countless times. When will you truly start thinking of me, Mom? I'm genuinely exhausted. How do you expect me to fill this bottomless pit?"
Why has no one ever thought of her? Why?
Her eyes were red, but she couldn't cry out the bitterness. Who could she cry to? Who would pity her?
Suddenly, the phone in her hand was snatched away. Immediately after, she heard a low, pleasant voice say, "Your daughter has been blacklisted. From today onwards, she won't have any money to give you."
