If that old man found out, he would surely force her to marry.
She absolutely couldn’t marry that old geezer!
“If you and Xiao Ruoyu are truly innocent, why are you so nervous? Or are you afraid your illicit affair will be discovered by your patron, who will then, in a fit of rage, abandon you? Then your promising career will become dim and lusterless, and who knows, you might be the next one to be blacklisted!”
An Nuan said with a smirk, her utterly unfazed demeanor making Jin Jingfan grit her teeth in hatred while feeling completely helpless.
Her relationship with that old man had always been low-key. But there are no secrets under the sun, and she truly didn't know how much Lu An Nuan actually knew.
"Lu An Nuan, let me give you a piece of advice: you can eat your fill, but don't speak carelessly. Are you sure that after you slander me, it won't be *you* who suffers a worse fate?"
Jin Jingfan scoffed, an air of nonchalance about her as if she truly wasn't afraid. But only she herself knew that the arms she held folded across her chest were already drenched with sweat from her palms.
Lu An Nuan's words had struck a raw nerve. She was afraid.
Marriage wasn't the cruelest thing; the worst would be if the old man, in a fit of rage, withdrew her funding. Then she'd have to struggle on her own, and if she wanted to latch onto a new patron, who knew how many times she'd have to sleep with them? Rather than dealing with all those disgusting people, it was better to just stick with this one and be comfortable.
Her heart hammered in her chest; at this moment, she was caught between a rock and a hard place. Lu An Nuan could use this to threaten her, and so could Ye Meiqi. Moreover, as the company's general manager, Ye Meiqi knew even more than Lu An Nuan.
"Director, are we still filming?"
Before An Nuan could reply, Jin Jingfan had already impatiently barked at the director. The director nodded repeatedly. "Shoot, of course we'll shoot."
The earlier slapping incident had been captured on video, and on a phone, no less. It could be uploaded to the internet at any moment, disguised as amateur footage, ready to go viral. He offered empty reassurances but didn’t instruct the makeup artist to touch up An Nuan's makeup.
Seeing this, Jin Jingfan declared angrily, "This scene can't be filmed anymore. I'm going to see General Manager Ye!" With that, she fled as if escaping.
However, before she had walked more than a few steps, a flashy red Ferrari screeched to a halt in front of her. As the door opened, a pair of red high heels touched the ground, followed by a long-haired beauty with fiery red lips and black sunglasses, appearing before everyone's eyes. She had a superb figure and an air of distinction. Her innate haughty confidence was something others could never emulate.
Who else could it be but Ye Meiqi?
At the same time, from the passenger seat, Xiao Ruoyu, dressed in a light white suit, slowly pushed open the car door, steeled herself, and got out. She walked around the car to Ye Meiqi's side and took her hand, overtly displaying their intimate closeness.
As soon as the two appeared, Jin Jingfan froze. She had originally planned to leave first and then devise a strategy; claiming she would go find General Manager Ye was merely talk—there was no way she would actually go. Even if she did, she would inevitably be ridiculed by Ye Meiqi. But now that Ye Meiqi had actually arrived... how was she going to smooth things over?
As she watched Ye Meiqi slowly approach, Jin Jingfan's mind raced through countless possibilities.
"General Manager Ye, what brings you here?" When Ye Meiqi reached her, Jin Jingfan couldn't help but force a smile.
Ye Meiqi curled her lips. "I came to visit the set to see how our company's little actress Lu An Nuan is performing. If she's truly not up to par, I won't feel any regret letting her go."
Ye Meiqi's tone dripped with veiled sarcasm, leaving Jin Jingfan taken aback. "She..."
