CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 54: THE INVESTORS ARE HERE

Unlike before, when they only filmed at night, Mu Yan now had scenes to shoot during the day too.

The first scene in the morning was where Mrs. Zhou saw Song Ziran still unwilling to buy Shen Qiuci’s freedom, planning to sell her to someone else.

Shen Qiuci begged Mrs. Zhou to let her see Song Ziran once, but Mrs. Zhou refused to let her go out.

She could only send a maid to the Song Mansion to find someone.

Just as the maid went to the Song Mansion, Liu Guixiang showed up.

Liu Guixiang was extremely aggressive, even Mrs. Zhou was no match for her.

The previous scenes were all finished.

It was Mu Yan’s turn for the scene with Wu Shi Yi.

Fan Youyou saw Wu Shi Yi was targeting Mu Yan and felt a bit worried, "Be careful, I have a feeling she’s up to no good."

"Don’t worry, it’s fine," Mu Yan smiled slightly.

Even though she said that, she didn’t feel confident deep down.

Director Li called for the actors, and Mu Yan went over immediately.

The actors took their positions, and Director Li called for action.

Inside the room, Shen Qiuci paced back and forth with a face full of worry, occasionally looking toward the door.

Suddenly, with a bang, the door was kicked open, and Liu Guixiang came in.

"Second Madam, please remain calm," Mrs. Zhou advised on the side.

Liu Guixiang pushed Mrs. Zhou aside and took a step forward, with a "smack," slapped Mu Yan.

Mu Yan’s face went numb from the pain, knowing Wu Shi Yi was taking revenge, but she let it slide.

Just as she was about to say her lines, the director called cut.

"Wu Shi Yi, you’re blocking the camera."

Wu Shi Yi turned back to look at Director Li and apologized, "Sorry, Director."

The first NG, Director Li didn’t say much.

Wu Shi Yi turned back to look at Mu Yan with an innocent face, "Sorry, we have to do it again."

Mu Yan pulled a corner of her mouth, "It’s okay."

"Good, make sure to tell me if it hurts, okay?" Wu Shi Yi smiled and turned to touch up her makeup.

Mu Yan raised her hand to touch her cheek, it really hurt.

"Mu Yan, go touch up your makeup," the assistant director reminded.

"Okay!" Mu Yan walked over.

After touching up her makeup, they continued filming.

Wu Shi Yi’s slap came again, and Mu Yan could clearly feel it was heavier than the last time.

Just as Mu Yan was about to say her lines, Wu Shi Yi suddenly stumbled and fell onto her.

She turned back to the director, "Sorry, Director, I lost my balance."

Director Li’s face darkened, and he said coldly, "Again."

The third time, it still didn’t pass.

After Wu Shi Yi slapped her, she actually forgot her lines.

The fourth time’s reason was even more ridiculous, after Wu Shi Yi slapped her, she suddenly apologized to Mu Yan, "Sorry Mu Yan, does it hurt a lot?"

Mu Yan looked at her hypocritical face, knowing she was doing it on purpose, but with so many people watching, she couldn’t erupt, or others would surely say she wasn’t dedicated to her work.

Zhou Lifen came over and said to Mu Yan, "I didn’t expect you to be so dedicated. Getting slapped so many times and it’s fine. If it were me, I would have cried long ago."

Mu Yan smiled at her slightly, "Can’t compare to Sister Zhou."

If she cried now, she’d definitely be called fragile.

Director Li was already furious, continually scolding Wu Shi Yi.

Wu Shi Yi kept her head down, but her eyes showed no trace of guilt.

Zhou Lifen came over and said, "Director Li, you can’t blame Shi Yi entirely. Since it’s a scene together, it can’t just be one person’s problem."

This implied that Mu Yan was also partly responsible.

Wu Shi Yi immediately took the opportunity to act aggrieved, "Sister Zhou is right, I don’t know what’s wrong, but when I see Mu Yan’s face, I just get it wrong easily."

Director Li looked at Wu Shi Yi, feeling even more irritated. The one who got hit wasn’t upset, but she acted as if she was.

"Alright, break for twenty minutes," he ordered directly.

At this time, the assistant director came over and said, "Director Li, the investor is coming by today, could you please go over?"
