Chapter 827: Don't take it if you don't want it

~7 min read 1,330 words

Just as they were leaving, Wang Ziyu suddenly grabbed Shen Li's hand and looked at her uneasily: "Sister Shen Li, I... my phone fell in Liu Tong's room last night."

Shen Li looked at the phone Wang Ziyu was holding in her hand at the moment in confusion.

She hurriedly explained: "This is another one; that one is my work phone."

Shen Li nodded in understanding: "You wait for me downstairs, I'll go help you ask for it."

"Let's go together, I'm afraid he..."

"It's okay, he wouldn't dare." Shen Li patted Wang Ziyu's hand, though in her heart, she didn't want her to see that environment from last night again.

It was time to go to work in the morning. No matter how much Liu Tong was driven by lust, he wouldn't go crazy at this time.

Arriving at Liu Tong's room door, Shen Li knocked, and a voice came from inside. Soon, the door was opened.

Seeing Shen Li, Liu Tong was somewhat surprised: "A-Li? What? Do you have something for me?"

Usually, even though Liu Tong and Xu Ke'er didn't avoid people at all in the crew, Shen Li never judged things that were consensual, and she was always very polite and respectful when seeing Liu Tong.

But after experiencing the incident with Ziyu last night, Shen Li obviously wouldn't give him any face at this moment.

She reached out her hand with a cold face: "Ziyu's phone."

The expression on Liu Tong's face stiffened, and he instantly understood what was going on. He smiled awkwardly: "It fell at my place. Wait for me to get it for you."

Shen Li stood at the door waiting. After getting the phone, she turned and left. Liu Tong, however, said in a "there's no silver buried here" manner from behind: "A-Li, nothing happened between us, don't worry."

Shen Li couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him and turned directly toward the elevator, only to find Wang Ziyu waiting at the elevator entrance.

"Sister Shen Li!"

She hadn't gone down; she was still worried about Shen Li.

Shen Li gave a faint smile and handed her the phone: "I saw he hadn't washed his face yet, let's go first."

Downstairs, some people were gathered together discussing the screams they heard when the power went out last night.

"You guys heard it too, right?"

"I feel like it came from upstairs!"

"I heard it like it was a sound from outside."

"That sound was clearly the voice of a countryman; it must be someone from our crew."

Seeing Shen Li and the other come down, someone stepped forward to ask Shen Li: "A-Li, you live on the seventh floor. Did you hear any screams last night?"

Shen Li shook her head with a calm face: "No, I didn't hear anything. When the power went out yesterday, Ziyu was in my room. Ziyu, did you hear anything?"

Wang Ziyu looked at Shen Li gratefully and shook her head immediately: "No."

Shen Li shrugged, indicating she didn't know what they were talking about.

Arriving at the crew, Shen Li also kept Wang Ziyu by her side, letting her rest in her dressing room.

Wang Ziyu continued to practice those few sentences of English while eating breakfast, because this scene had to be reshot today.

"Ziyu, Ziyu!"

At this moment, Liu Tong's assistant knocked on the door of Shen Li's dressing room and, finding Wang Ziyu really was here, couldn't help but say anxiously: "Why are you hiding here? Brother Tong is looking for you!"

Shen Li was applying makeup. Upon hearing this, she looked at the door through the mirror and frowned, asking: "Ziyu is about to start filming, what are you looking for her for?"

"About the play. Ziyu, hurry over, don't delay the progress." After urging her, the person turned and left.

Wang Ziyu stood up, took a deep breath, and said to Shen Li: "Sister Shen Li, then I'll go over. It should be fine on set."

Shen Li was still worried. Coincidentally, Guangrong came at this time. She looked at Guangrong and instructed: "Guangrong, accompany Ziyu over, listen to what it's about, and come back and tell me."

Guangrong didn't understand, but since his sister ordered it, he nodded obediently.

Looking at Guangrong's 1.9-meter-tall frame, Wang Ziyu felt much more secure in her heart.

At the door of Liu Tong's lounge, they happened to run into an angry Xu Ke'er coming out from inside.

Seeing Wang Ziyu, Xu Ke'er glared at her fiercely and spat: "Cheap bone!"

Wang Ziyu was stunned by the flying insult.

"What? Pretending? Dare to do it but dare not admit it?" Seeing her reaction, Xu Ke'er couldn't help but sneer coldly: "Don't show me a harmless look. We're both women; I know what kind of character you are and what you're thinking in your heart!"

Guangrong was also stunned on the side. After reacting, he couldn't help but speak up for Wang Ziyu: "Why are you scolding people for no reason?"

"No reason?" Xu Ke'er sneered: "Whether it's for no reason, she knows best in her heart!"

Having said that, Xu Ke'er turned and walked away, twisting her waist.

Wang Ziyu's eyes turned slightly red, but she didn't argue with the other party, only saying in a low voice: "Guangrong, you wait for me at the door, I'll be out in a moment."

Guangrong opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, he had to nod.

Knocking and entering the lounge, Liu Tong saw her and smiled warmly, his tone very natural: "Ziyu is here? Come over quickly, I have something to tell you."

It was as natural as if nothing had happened last night.

Wang Ziyu didn't dare to step forward and stood at the door: "Director, what do you want with me? I'm about to start filming."

"No rush, you can't film without me!" Liu Tong explained with a smile: "Director Li An returned to the country early. I'll be filming the scenes for the next two days."

Seeing she didn't move, Liu Tong had to walk up to her and hand her the script: "This is for you. The scenes that belong to you have all been added back, and I've even added a few scenes on the spot. Work hard and memorize them today."

Wang Ziyu raised her head in shock. Liu Tong smiled slightly: "Last night was truly a misunderstanding. Consider it Brother apologizing to you."

Wang Ziyu gripped the script tightly, once again feeling so intuitively how great Liu Tong's power was.

"Don't worry about the scenes after returning to the country. Brother won't touch your scenes anymore. If there are good scripts later, I'll recommend you."

Wang Ziyu listened but remained silent.

Getting no response, Liu Tong wasn't annoyed, only saying with a smile in his tone: "Don't be too tense. As an actor, you must have basic professional ethics. Once filming starts, you are no longer Wang Ziyu; you are the character. Go prepare quickly."

Wang Ziyu left without a word, finally understanding why Xu Ke'er had been so mean and abusive to her just now.

Originally, most of those scenes were assigned to Xu Ke'er.

After hearing the whole thing, Shen Li was still very rational. She reminded Wang Ziyu: "These scenes were originally yours. You must not feel grateful to him because of this incident. Although he added some scenes for you, compared to the scenes he took away from you before, it's still far from enough."

Wang Ziyu calmed down instantly upon hearing this.

That's right, these scenes were originally hers!

Liu Tong was only showing kindness to her suddenly because he wanted to appease and stabilize her.

Shen Li patted her and encouraged her: "Anyway, if he gives them to you, just take them. Don't take it if you don't want it!"
