Luo Ying walked away while holding Shen Lan’s arm.
The two remaining individuals were terrified. They exchanged a glance. Li Si asked anxiously, “What should we do? I didn’t even know she was Shen Lan! If I had known, I wouldn’t have said anything!”
“Let’s just get out of here. What else can we do?” Wang Miao glared hatefully in the direction they had left.
Li Si realized she had messed up. Wang Miao belonged to Ji Song’s studio, and Ji Song was shooting in another studio. When Ji Song heard about the incident, she remained silent.
Even so, Li Si was in trouble.
As soon as she returned to the set, she was immediately bombarded. “Why can’t you do anything right? I told you to serve tea and pour water. I repeatedly emphasized that you must make Luo Ying happy. Instead, you caused trouble for me! Don’t bother coming in tomorrow!”
They had just offended Luo Ying. The higher-ups had just been reprimanded by Lu Zhao. How could this stupid girl stir up trouble again? The manager was so angry that he pulled out a few strands of hair.
Li Si stammered and tried her best to make excuses.
The manager was not having any of it. “Just leave. I really have no words for you! Remember the confidentiality agreement you signed. Don’t go around blabbing about what happened on set. You may lose your job today, but you’ll be bankrupt tomorrow if you don’t watch that tongue of yours!”
The manager then personally went to the lounge to apologize to Luo Ying.
“I’m really sorry! We selected our people poorly. Shall I get you another assistant?” The manager asked anxiously and humbly.
They had only finished shooting half of the show. He was afraid that Luo Ying would refuse to continue in the second half.
Luo Ying replied calmly, “As long as it’s resolved, it’s fine. If there’s nothing else, please don’t disturb me.”
The manager breathed a long sigh of relief.
Du Tian was also in the lounge. When she heard about what had happened, she couldn’t help but feel speechless. “They really don’t know what’s good for them. Their management is a mess. Next time, we should think twice about working with them.”
Luo Ying nodded in agreement.
As she turned around, she noticed Shen Lan staring into space. She appeared to be lost in thought.
Luo Ying waved her hand in front of Shen Lan with any amused smile. “What’s wrong? Something on your mind?”
Shen Lan hesitated before speaking. “I met my uncle today and told him about Liu Sheng. He said he’ll investigate.”
Liu Sheng. He said he’ll investigate.”
“Well, that’s good. Did something bad happen to you?” Luo Ying asked with concern.
Shen Lan shook her head. “Not really. I met my uncle’s fiancée. At least that’s what she claims to be, but my uncle didn’t seem too upset. They seem to have a good relationship. They might actually get married.”
A smile formed on Shen Lan’s lips, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
Du Tian wasn’t aware of the Lu and Du families’ situation, so she asked, “How old is your uncle? It doesn’t sound unusual for him to get married.”
Du Tian remembered that when the Du family collaborated with Shen Xiu, Shen Xiu was already a mature and capable man.
Shen Lan looked shocked.
After contemplating for a moment, Shen Lan replied, “He’s about 30 years old, I think? He was actually adopted by my grandfather, so there’s a significant age gap between him and my father. He’s more like an older brother than an uncle.
He’s been overseas all this time.”
Shen Xiu was about to get married. Shen Lan felt conflicted.
Luo Ying looked on and felt that something was amiss.
Suddenly, she had a bold idea and tactfully asked, “Shen Lan, are you unhappy about Shen Xiu getting married?”
Shen Lan was taken aback. “A little? I feel like I should give him my blessings, but deep down, I’m not that magnanimous.”
Du Tian made an exaggerated expression. “Shen Lan, do you have other feelings for your uncle?”
Shen Lan was shocked. “No! How could that be? Absolutely not.”
Luo Ying and Du Tian burst into laughter.
Luo Ying smiled, “You don’t sound so sure.”
“But he’s my uncle!” Shen Lan shook her head repeatedly.
“But you’re not blood-related,” Du Tian shrugged indifferently. She had always been open-minded about relationships, so she encouraged her. “Your uncle is much more reliable than Zhou Li. Sometimes, fortune favors the bold.. Why not give it a try?”
