Chapter 221: 221: Fighting alone

“You already managed to stir up so much trouble, even if you aren’t doing it deliberately. If you did, is there still a need for me to film this drama?”

“I…” Jing Lu bit onto her lips, as she felt ashamed and was about to cry. She turned and looked at Luo Jiani for help.

However, when she learned how powerful Jing Qian’s boss was, Luo Jiani had regretted giving a like to Yang Yue and Yan Meiqi’s post.

Therefore, when Jing Lu turned to her, Luo Jiani was fuming in rage.

She had only helped Jing Lu the other day because of Yang Yue.

Who the hell was Jing Lu? Did she know her?

Why was Jing Lu trying to get her into trouble when Yunxiao was already pissed as f**k?

“Why are you looking at me? Jing Lu, I think Sister Weiwei is right. If you have a heart condition, you should have gotten treated instead.

“Look at you, you’re such a stubborn person. You wanted to use the female lead’s room, causing a delay and wasting all of our time. You even wasted so much money, but none of us here dare say anything harsh to you because of your health condition.

“This set is not as easy as you think, and it can be tiring for you as well. You should really think it through before deciding if you want to stay on set.”

Jing Lu, whose face was already pale from before, had turned ghost white after hearing Luo Jiani’s response.

It was winter now, and it was extremely difficult for one to sweat, but there were already large droplets of sweat all over Jing Lu’s face.

Pan Wei, who initially wanted to scream at Jing Lu and kick her out of the crew, had to hold himself back.

In the end, he had no other choice but to lower his voice and patiently explain to her, “Jing Lu, that dressing room is allocated to Jing Lu alone because she’s the main female lead. She has the most outfits, as well as hair and makeup, which means she would take the most time. If she isn’t able to finish her makeup as early as possible, the entire set would have to wait for her, just like what is happening now. Not only have we wasted money, but we have also wasted precious time. Do you understand?”

Jing Lu thought that Pan Wei would forgive her after the lecture, which was why she obediently nodded her head.

“Director Pan, I’ve never been on set before, which is why I never thought of this problem. I promise that I will never do this again in the future.”

“Also, Weiwei has been appointed as Jing Qian’s exclusive makeup artist, not yours. Just because you aren’t used to sharing things with others is not a reason for you to use the female lead’s dressing room.”

Jing Lu felt ridiculed by Pan Wei.

She knew that she wasn’t qualified to do so, but it was just a habit of hers to take away things that belonged to Jing Qian. She did not expect that by doing this, she would have brought so much trouble to everyone here. If she knew about this, she wouldn’t have done so.

At this moment, Jing Lu placed all the blame for this onto Jing Qian.

She was 100% sure that she had been badly pranked by Jing Qian.

Just as she was about to continue with her apology, Director Pan spoke again.

“I already heard more than once that you have a heart condition. Jiani is right. If you aren’t well, you should be more active in the treatment for your condition. Even though you won’t have that many action scenes, there are still some that may be dangerous for you.

“For example, when Zhong Qingqing finally became the Young Mistress of the Gu family, they realized that the real princess was Zhong Nuannuan, not Zhong Qingqing. Therefore, they punished her by drenching her with water during winter, causing her to be completely covered in ice. Your health condition wouldn’t be able to make it through this scene.

“In fact, with what you have done today, I absolutely can’t accept this and must ask you to leave.

“However, you’re still young, and I’m willing to give young actors a second chance, even when they’ve made a mistake. I would be ruining you with one shot and leaving you with a ruined reputation like Yang Yue if I announced your departure.

“Therefore, you will be the one releasing a post on Weibo today, announcing that you had a heart attack on the first day on set, and to prevent delaying the progress on set, you have decided to leave on your own terms.”
