“I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I’ll go change right away!”

Hearing Li Zhi’en’s scolding, the assistant broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly reached out to take the cup.

However, Li Zhi’en did not intend to let her off so easily. She deliberately let go of the cup before the assistant was about to touch it. The boiling hot coffee spilled all over the assistant’s body, and her wrist was visibly red.

The assistant looked young, and she should be a college student who had just graduated this year. The young girl had never been wronged like this before, and her eyes instantly turned red.

However, because of her identity, she did not say anything in the end. She cleaned up the mess on the ground and left with the cup.

Yun Xi watched the whole process from the side, and she could not help but feel a little bitter in her heart.

Status, power, and money—these were the gaps that she would never be able to cross in her life. No matter where she was, she would always have to witness similar tragedies, repeatedly reminding her how big the gap between people could be.

Yun Huai and her assistant were clear examples, and so was the great gap between her and Qi Chen.

Li Zhi’en didn’t know what Yun Xi was thinking. To her, what happened just now was just a small episode in her daily life that wasn’t worth her attention at all.

The moment the young assistant left, Li Zhi’en immediately got up from his seat and walked to the mirror. He repeatedly checked his lips to see if they were scalded.

Fortunately, only the corner of his mouth was slightly red. He would just cover it with foundation in a while.

On the other hand, Yun Xi’s mouth was also slightly pink because she was kissed by Gu Linyan.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi’en became even angrier.

The producer of this movie had approached her a long time ago and she had seen the script. The female lead did not take up much significance in the movie and the setting of the character was also a little retarded. If it was not for Gu Linyan, she would not have come all the way here to suffer.

She had thought that there would be some intimate contact between her character and his but she had not expected that they would all be bystanders. They did not even have any scenes where they would hold hands.

“Your name Is Yun Xi, right? I heard that this is your first time participating in such an explicit shoot, and you can even act with the Best Actor. How do you feel? You should be quite happy, right? Look at your lips, they’re almost swollen from kissing.”

The sarcasm in Li Zhi’en’s words was too obvious, and Yun Xi really didn’t know how to answer.

If she went along with what she meant, it would seem that she was too flattering. If she didn’t go along with it, she would probably end up like the assistant.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the dressing room became even more awkward.

Just as Zhi’en was about to lose her temper, the assistant suddenly pushed the door open and walked in with a glass of iced Americano in her hand.

Seeing the bag on her assistant’s back, Zhi’en immediately had an idea.

“Why aren’t you answering? I bet you have a guilty conscience. I’ve noticed that there’s something wrong with you from just now. I lost a necklace on the set today. I’ve searched everywhere just now and also asked the staff, but I didn’t see it. Do you think it’s with you?”

“I don’t understand what you mean. Besides, we didn’t have much contact before.”

Yun Xi’s first reaction was to think that Li Zhi’en was trying to frame her. She took a step back vigilantly.

This was the reaction that Li Zhi’en wanted, “Why are you hiding? Can’t we find a way to prove it? You came directly from the hotel today, right? I don’t think you have your own resting room. The only place you can hide it in is this suit on you. Take it off and let me have a look.”

‘Take it off? Here? In front of Li Zhi’en and the staff around her?’

“Impossible.” Yun Xi of course chose to refuse the unreasonable request. “Why should I be responsible for something I haven’t done? If you really want to find the necklace, it’s more reliable to check the surveillance cameras. If it has anything to do with me, I will naturally cooperate.”

“Check the surveillance cameras? “Do you know what a private dressing room is? If I could check it, I would have done it long ago. you don’t have to remind me. That necklace is sponsored by a brand. It’s worth millions.. If you can’t find it, don’t even think about leaving here today!”
