Chapter 105 - Uncle, I Was Not Going to Harm You
Xu Qianxi was slapped so bad her face was all swollen, her lips were cracked, and her mouth was full of blood, even her teeth were threatening to come out of their sockets.
After the shoot, she glared at Yan Qingsi, barely croaking out, “You will see…”
Xu Qianxi wanted to say something nastier, but the pain was so unbearable that even uttering those 3 words almost caused her to tear up.
She hurriedly followed her manager to the hospital, worried there might be some permanent disfigurement to her face.
Director Feng Jun had always had a bad impression of Xu Qianxi, so even though he knew Yan Qingsi was hitting her on purpose, he said nothing, simply just allowing the filming to go on as usual. Show business had always been a cruel place.
“Are you alright, Miss Qingsi?” Xiao Xu asked, passing the thermos flask to her.
“I’m fine, but my hands are a little numb,” she replied, moving her hands around.
Xiao Xu gulped, and softly whispered, ” Miss Qingsi, you were awesome out there just now.”
Yan Qingsi rubbed her right hand.
This was not the end, it was only the beginning.
It was not going to be easy to win the battle of the film set.
There was still much to fight for.
Xu Qianxi… She was just child’s play!
…
Yan Qingsi’s schedule at night was a scene with the male lead who was playing the emperor. The male lead actor was one of the country’s most famous film star, the 36-year-old Qin Jingzhi. He had been a staple of the big screen, only this year did he decide to come back to television adaptations.
Qin Jingzhi was a very handsome man, with elegant facial features and deep brooding eyes. The audience loved him, and he had won almost every major international award. It was safe to say he thoroughly earned his nickname as the ‘King of the Silver Screen’.
It was rumored that he had a rich background history, although, after more than 10 years of digging, the paparazzi had never actually found anything substantive.
There was a popular saying amongst his fans that went like this: The beauty of springtime on the Yang Zhou road was nothing compared to the beauty of sleeping with Qin Jingzhi!
Qin Jingzhi was a soft-spoken man and was very courteous to everyone. Almost everyone who talked to Qin Jingzhi would say he was the nicest movie star they had ever met.
However, Yan Qingsi knew these kinds of men were usually very cold-hearted inside. They may look like they were nice to everyone, but in reality, they were actually cold to everyone.
Since he joined the group, many of the actors and actresses have tried to chat him up, but none have managed to chat beyond five minutes.
The scene that night was an intimate bed scene, but in actuality, they just had to sweet talk a little, pull down the curtains, and lie down.
The two of them were lying side-by-side, when Qin Jingzhi suddenly asked, “You did this on purpose, didn’t you?”
Qin Jingzhi had a melodious voice, he had always used his original voice even in the movies, so whenever he spoke, it was almost as if he was reading a script, it was so soothing you could get lost in it.
Yan Qingsi understood what he was trying to ask and raised an eyebrow. ” So what if I did do it on purpose? If you have something to say about it, you can keep it to yourself,” she retorted.
Yan Qingsi was not interested to get into his good books because she saw right through him. A man like Qin Jingzhi only looked gentle on the outside, inside his heart was ice-cold. It was simply a waste of time to try and get into his good books.
That was the reason Yan Qingsi did not even bother trying to leave a good impression with Qin Jingzhi.
Qin Jingzhi laughed, he did not expect Yan Qingsi to say that – she was not like the other actresses. She was definitely different from all the other women he had met before.
“Girl, that wasn’t so nice, you know, men usually prefer soft-spoken women,” he chuckled.
Yan Qingsi hated that kind of patronizing speech, it always made her think of Yan Songnan. She turned around and looked Qin Jingzhi straight in the eye. “Uncle, whether I’m nice or not is none of your business, and it’s not going to harm you anyway, what are you even worried about…”
Qin Jingzhi was speechless… Why did the ‘Uncle’ title bother him so much?
“Are you always this sarcastic to everyone?”
