"Understood."
Jin Jingfan felt a grievance she couldn't express, forcing her to swallow her feelings. If she didn't go, that madwoman Ye Meiqi might do something completely outrageous. But attending was also problematic; Lu Annuan was giving her a headache as well.
Approaching Lu Annuan, Jin Jingfan whispered, "Don't blame me. If you need to point fingers, blame yourself for getting involved with a shameless man!"
With that, she turned to the director and declared, "I'm ready. We can start filming."
"Good, good!"
The production team was thrilled to hear this. As long as they could stay on schedule, the process itself didn't matter. Besides, they had already captured all the sensational moments and secured the promotional gossip. Now, they had nothing to worry about.
The director's eyes sparkled with delight. The makeup artist hurriedly applied Jin Jingfan's makeup while Annuan was left ignored, cast aside.
Annuan wasn't in a rush. In fact, she was quite pleased to be overlooked for the moment.
She stood there leisurely, waiting for Jin Jingfan's makeup to be finished when the director impatiently shouted, "Lu Annuan, hurry up and get ready!"
"I'm ready to act, but I'm not ready to be slapped. I wonder which kind of 'ready' the director is referring to?"
Her single sentence left the director speechless, at a loss for words. How on earth was he supposed to explain that? He wanted to continue filming and still needed Xinghui's investment. He was a director long employed by Xinghui, not one of those big-name directors who could call their own shots. If he were a renowned director, would he find himself stuck in the middle like this, unable to offend anyone?
"If you're not going to act, just tell CEO Ye and don't delay the production."
"Of course I'll act."
Only a fool would refuse. The contract was signed; if she said otherwise, she'd be breaching it. She wasn't trying to breach the contract herself; she wanted to push Ye Meiqi to the point where *she* couldn't stand her and would be forced to propose termination.
With a clear head, Annuan stepped in front of the camera, facing Jin Jingfan, waiting to see what she would do. Whether it was a real slap or a fake one depended entirely on Jin Jingfan.
Jin Jingfan remained silent, her hand at her side clenching fiercely into a fist. After a long moment, she suddenly raised her hand, and with a loud "smack," the slap didn't land on Annuan's face, but instead on Annuan's arm, which she had instinctively raised.
The force was immense, leaving Annuan's arm bright red. Annuan immediately frowned and said, "Jin Jingfan, you've lost your mind."
"Is there any better way to handle this?" Jin Jingfan gave a cold smile, forcefully shaking off Annuan's hand. "Lu Annuan, I'm begging you, okay? Just leave. Don't be such an eyesore here. You're bound by contract, and you can't possibly win against Ye Meiqi. You'd be better off finding a powerful backer who *can* keep Ye Meiqi in check. Otherwise, you can jump as high as you want; you'll never escape Ye Meiqi's grasp. You just have to accept your fate!"
Annuan gripped Jin Jingfan's wrist tightly. She had to admit, Jin Jingfan was right. As long as Ye Meiqi didn't agree to terminate the contract, all her efforts would be futile. Ye Meiqi was in control, and she had countless ways to torment her. And if Lu Annuan refused to comply, she'd risk breaching her contract.
"You're right, but I can't just take this slap for nothing."
If she allowed Jin Jingfan to land that first slap, countless more would follow. Until Ye Meiqi was satisfied with the beating—and Ye Meiqi would never be satisfied. Someone who stole her man and then mocked her for not being a "normal woman" was simply a lunatic.
"Lu Annuan, are you going to act or not?"
