Chapter 30.3

Ever since Su Qian mentioned that the cooperation with Shang Jingyu was a trap, Jin Lie had been cautious and didn’t act rashly. He was just secretly investigating what the truth was.

About three days later, Li Xiunan brought news. The two pieces of land that Shang Jingyu talked about were impossible to develop. As soon as his money was invested, it would be immediately trapped. When the capital chain broke, he could only be at the mercy of others.

Jin Lie immediately chose to switch to another project with less risk.

After finishing the most important part, Jin Lie rolled up his sleeves and prepared to visit the film set. Su Qian also started to get busy, and she couldn’t even make a phone call every day. And Jiang Zhan was the person she was with day and night, so Jin Lie simply couldn’t sit still.

In the middle of the night, Zhong Ning received a message from Jin Lie asking him to book a flight. He wailed, “How can you leave at this time! There are still many things in the company!”

“You solve it yourself.” Jin Lie warned, “Don’t talk, I feel like I’m going to die.”

Tsk tsk tsk!

Bad luck, bad luck.

With persuasion ineffective, Zhong Ning had no choice but to book a flight for the boss the next day.

The next day, when Li Xiunan heard on the phone that Jin Lie was going to visit the set, he clamored that he wanted to go too.

Jin Lie’s tone was cold, “What are you going for? Is there someone you want to visit?”

“I’m free, and you can have a companion, how nice!”

“I don’t need it. Why does your voice sound so excited?”

Li Xiunan chuckled, “Your new love and old love are both there, how can I not be excited?”

Jin Lie threw his phone aside, and opened the wardrobe to change clothes, “Where did the old love come from?”

“Isn’t it Feng Xianxian! Honestly, do you still miss her?!”

Jin Lie threw his clothes aside, picked up his phone, and said to him solemnly, “I have never missed her. If it weren’t for you mentioning this person, I would have forgotten about her.”

“Really? What about the rumors before…”

“Rumors stop with the wise. Only an idiot like you would believe.” Jin Lie found this person noisy and gossipy, and made a decision on the spot, “You must not go with me. If you insist on following, I will immediately withdraw my investment.”

Li Xiunan: “……” How much does he dislike him?

In the end, it was Jin Lie who embarked on the journey alone. While he was flying, Su Qian was busy working.

Her condition was particularly bad today, and it took several takes to get through the scenes with the male lead.

Jiang Zhan called “cut” for the fifth time, and said expressionlessly, “Su Qian, what’s going on with you today? Are you not feeling well?”

This was the first time this had happened since she joined the group many days ago. It was hard for Jiang Zhan not to think more about it.

“You look a bit pale, are you suffering from heatstroke?” Wu Tong, the actor playing the male lead, showed concern.

Su Qian shook her head, “It’s fine, this is the last scene for the morning, right? Director, let’s do another take, sorry for the trouble.”

Jiang Zhan glanced at the time, held back from saying more, and continued filming. Finally, this take passed smoothly.

Su Qian felt a bit nauseous, and before she could say anything, she ran to the restroom.

“It seems like she’s sick.” Wu Tong said.

Jiang Zhan turned to look, but Su Qian was already out of sight. He sighed, “Let her assistant keep a close eye on her, and let’s continue filming.”

Wu Tong raised his eyebrow, “You really are a workaholic. This is the best time to perform, but you’re thinking about filming.”

Being lonely is not without reason, it’s all self-inflicted.

Jiang Zhan paused in his manipulation of the machine and looked up at him, “With so many people on the set, how do you expect me to behave?”

Wu Tong was taken aback by the question, then laughed, “You really are…”

After all, he was afraid that others would gossip about Su Qian. But on second thought, if the director is only nice to the female lead, he will definitely be questioned from all sides. It would be better to treat everyone equally.

But you can care about her in private!

Forget it, forget it, you can’t force a stubborn bull to drink water.

“I think Su Qian has a good personality and is capable. If you don’t pursue her now, it will be harder to chase her once the movie is released and she becomes popular.”

Jiang Zhan looked at the monitor, and said with a smile in his eyes, “Are you so sure she will become popular?”

“Tsk, you know better than me whether she will or not.” Wu Tong patted his shoulder, “Hang in there, brother.”

Su Qian was still feeling unwell, but she didn’t vomit. She washed her face with cold water, and the cool feeling made her feel a bit better.

The woman in the mirror was pale as a ghost. Su Qian held back, planning to first take a stomach pill, and then go to a nearby hospital to check up after today’s shooting was over.

She walked out listlessly, accidentally slipped on the water on the floor, and inadvertently bumped into someone who had just come in.

Feng Xianxian rolled her eyes in annoyance, preparing to bypass her, but when she looked up, she found that the person who bumped into her was Su Qian.

The pent-up anger surged up high.

“Are you blind?!”

Su Qian was clutching her stomach, and glanced at her and said, “Sorry.”

Her stomach was getting more and more painful, and she wanted to go out and get some medicine from her assistant. As soon as she took a step out, her elbow was grabbed by Feng Xianxian.

“Just a ‘sorry’ after bumping into me so hard?”

Su Qian shook off her hand, somewhat impatient, “What do you want?”

“I want you to feel the pain too.” Feng Xianxian sneered, raising her hand and slapping her in the face.

Su Qian didn’t expect her to take action, so her face took a solid hit. Immediately, a burning pain spread across her cheek.

“Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you have Jin Lie backing you up, I’m telling you, if I’m not doing well, don’t think about having a good time!”

Su Qian took a deep breath. She felt her hands shaking, glanced at Feng Xianxian without saying a word, and rushed inside to vomit.

Feng Xianxian frowned in disgust, “You’re really good at acting, it’s just a slap, is it necessary?!”

Saying this, she lifted her chin and turned to leave.

.

When Su Qian came out of the restroom, her assistant was frightened. Her face was abnormally pale, but her left cheek was red and swollen, looking very scary.

“Sister Qian, what happened to you?! Did you fall or did someone hit you?!”

The assistant didn’t dare to say it directly, but the mark on her face looked like a slap mark no matter how you looked at it.

Su Qian sat weakly on the chair and asked her vaguely, “Do you have any stomach medicine? My stomach hurts a bit.”

“I think it’s better not to take medicine casually, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Just as Su Qian was about to shake her head to refuse, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, “What’s going on?”

“Mr. Jin?!” The assistant seemed to see a savior, “Sister Qian is sick, and also…”

Before she could finish, Jin Lie had already walked to Su Qian’s side and carefully touched her face.

“Who did this?”

His voice was cold and deep, and his eyes were full of anger.

Su Qian lifted her head, “How did you get here?”

“If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known you were in this state. Get up, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Jin Lie half-held Su Qian in his arms, turned his head to the assistant and said, “Adjust her scenes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhan came over, “Is she really sick?”

“I’m taking her to the hospital now.”

Jiang Zhan’s gaze fell on Jin Lie. He watched him hold Su Qian in his arms, his eyelashes trembled, and then he said, “Go ahead, it’s okay to adjust the scenes to tomorrow.”

“Thank you.”

Su Qian’s voice was hoarse and weak, Jin Lie gritted his teeth, and directly carried her into the car.

Jiang Zhan looked at their retreating figures, his face darkened.

.

Su Qian’s old problem recurred, it was still gastroenteritis.

After the IV drip,It was already past eight in the evening.

She had a good sleep and felt much better. When she woke up, she saw Jin Lie carefully applying a cold towel to her face.

Su Qian slowly raised her hand and grabbed his wrist, “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Jin Lie gently stroked her a few times with a pained expression, and asked, “Was it from filming or did Feng Xianxian hit you?”

Su Qian slowly sat up, leaning against the head of the bed and took a breath, “I was just sick and didn’t react, otherwise she wouldn’t have had the chance to touch me.”

Jin Lie was somewhat annoyed.

“This matter won’t end like this.”

It feels good to be cared for and protected by others. Su Qian smiled relaxedly and asked, “What, are you planning to help me fight back?”

After leaving the hospital, Jin Lie found a restaurant and took Su Qian to have a simple dinner. It was very light porridge and vegetables, without a bit of minced meat and oil.

Su Qian didn’t have much appetite, but she didn’t want Jin Lie to worry, so she cheered up and drank most of the bowl of porridge. The rest went into Jin Lie’s stomach.

“Don’t you mind eating my leftovers?”

“I don’t mind if it’s yours, but I do if it’s someone else’s.”

With a simple sentence, Su Qian inexplicably felt a bit moved.

She still had to rush to film early tomorrow. So Jin Lie sent Su Qian back to the hotel where she was staying. As soon as the car entered the main gate, they saw the two Feng sisters and Shang Jingyu coming out together.

“Do you have a bit of strength now?”

Su Qian, without any doubt, nodded, “Much better.”

Jin Lie unbuckled the seat belt, took a mask and put it on her, “Then get out of the car.”

He took Su Qian’s hand and walked over quickly, while pointing at Feng Xianxian, “Go ahead and beat her up, we’ve got a gold mine at home.”
