After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 566 - 564: You hit me?!
Chapter 566: Chapter 564: You hit me?!
Although he said that, his gaze inevitably shifted toward Lu Zhaozhao and Bai Qing, who were sitting not far away.
Even the director, who might have been considered naive before, now fully understood.
Zhao Qingfeng’s mood was off because of Lu Zhaozhao.
He saw Bai Qing speaking to Lu Zhaozhao, his expression growing even darker, as if trying to hide something, filled with pain.
The director, as though he had stumbled upon some shocking news, was overwhelmed with disbelief.
If he remembered correctly, Lu Zhaozhao was supposed to be married, and her husband seemed to be the CEO of the Song Group.
What was the situation between Zhao Qingfeng and Lu Zhaozhao?
He didn’t even dare to think about it.
He vaguely remembered that this morning, Song Sinian’s assistant had called him, mentioning that Lu Zhaozhao was feeling unwell and would be arriving late, asking him to push back her scenes.
The director’s mind was in utter chaos.
At that moment, Lu Zhaozhao looked up sharply.
No wonder Bai Qing had reminded her to be wary of Zhao Qingfeng.
Ha! She thought he was just sleazy, never expecting him to stoop so low.
She had absolutely no relationship with him, yet he could still act like a wounded lover in front of others.
Normally, Lu Zhaozhao would never engage with such a person.
But... Zhao Qingfeng had really disgusted her!
She had to retaliate, or else she’d feel sorry for her eyes that had been sullied!
Lu Zhaozhao threw off the small blanket she had on and walked straight over.
Her gaze fixed intently on Zhao Qingfeng, she said coldly, "Teacher Zhao, did I just affect your mood?"
Her words were very straightforward, causing Zhao Qingfeng’s brows to furrow instantly.
Because of what Lu Zhaozhao had just said, he was somewhat wary that this woman might act unpredictably.
He pulled at the corner of his mouth, feigning a bitter look, "Teacher Lu, some things are better not discussed in front of so many people..."
Zhao Qingfeng’s act was so convincing that the other artists and crew members standing around felt a bit awkward.
It seemed they had uncovered something scandalous.
The director standing by felt even more nervous.
He had taken investment from the Song Group, and if Song Sinian’s wife were caught cheating in his production, would his career be over?
The very thought made him feel uneasy in his heart.
He wanted to stop them from discussing this matter, but it was clear from Zhao Qingfeng’s intent that if he forcibly stopped them now, it would only leave more room for speculation.
If he didn’t stop them, he feared the developments could catch him even more off guard.
The director stood rooted to the spot, unable to advance or retreat.
Eventually, it was Lu Zhaozhao who broke the awkward silence, "Ha! I don’t think there’s anything I need to discuss with you privately. Since yesterday, when we met for the first time and you suddenly came to my dressing room pretending to be familiar with me, I’ve told you I don’t want to associate with someone like you, so there is no need for you to act like you know me well or like you’ve been hurt by me."
Zhao Qingfeng’s expression darkened, but he still followed Lu Zhaozhao’s lead and continued to make excuses for himself, "Since Teacher Lu says we are not close, then we are not close, it’s okay."
If it had been someone else, they would’ve probably been hopping mad already.
Lu Zhaozhao, however, curved her lips, her smile brightening even more, "Zhao Qingfeng, I told you before, my identity doesn’t require me to foster good relationships with others. If you bother me again, I guarantee you won’t be able to mix in this circle ever again!"
Zhao Qingfeng’s expression instantly stiffened terribly.
It took him a long while to regain his composure, "You... Teacher Lu, aren’t you being a bit too overbearing?"
Lu Zhaozhao shrugged, "Why don’t I behave this way towards others, only targeting you? You should reflect on your own actions."
She didn’t want to give Zhao Qingfeng any face—this person had been indirectly slandering her in the crew and still expected her not to use her power against him?
What a joke!
As the prestigious CEO’s wife of Song Group and currently the largest shareholder in XJ Group, why couldn’t she wield her power?
Damn it! It was about crushing trash!
She didn’t feel any guilt at all!
Bai Qing, standing nearby, couldn’t help but feel secretly thrilled seeing Lu Zhaozhao so dismissively mocking Zhao Qingfeng.
Previously, when Bai Qing faced her blunt responses, it was just give-and-take; even when Lu Zhaozhao despised him, she never treated him like she did Zhao Qingfeng.
Suddenly, Bai Qing felt like Lu Zhaozhao didn’t truly dislike him, and his spine straightened up with this realization.
Zhao Qingfeng, watching the disdain growing in the eyes of those around him, grimly gritted his teeth, "Lu Zhaozhao, is it because I found out about your affair with Bai Qing, and that’s why you are targeting me?!"
Bai Qing was enjoying the drama, suddenly called out, and immediately exploded, "Zhao Qingfeng, are you insane? It’s bad enough that your mind is dirty, but dragging others into it too? Have you no shame?!"
Bai Qing, always perceived as gentle and refined, was now furiously pointing at Zhao Qingfeng’s nose, cursively accusing him, which shocked everyone else.
Zhao Qingfeng’s face became even uglier.
However, he quickly regained his composure, his gaze icy as he responded to Bai Qing, "Your anger only proves my point! You’re feeling guilty!"
"I’m feeling guilty, I..."
Just as Bai Qing was about to retort to Zhao Qingfeng, Lu Zhaozhao stepped in.
Now, not only Bai Qing was anxious, but even his assistant was worried.
If Lu Zhaozhao didn’t explain anything, the rumors about them in the crew would probably start flying everywhere.
Being Song Group’s wife, Lu Zhaozhao was mainly just dabbling in the industry, but for Bai Qing, his position was hard-earned. If it were ruined by a scandal, it would be too great a loss.
Bai Qing’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, about to say something, when Lu Zhaozhao raised her hand, delivering a resounding slap to Zhao Qingfeng’s face.
The entire set went silent.
Zhao Qingfeng, covering his face in disbelief, looked at Lu Zhaozhao, "You, you hit me?!"
Lu Zhaozhao’s lips curled, and she struck his other cheek, "So I did. What about it? You’re allowed to slander me and Huang Yao, but I’m not allowed to hit you?"
Zhao Qingfeng, furious beyond control, glared at Lu Zhaozhao, "I’m not spreading rumors! It’s true!"
"Where’s the evidence? If you can’t present any evidence today, we’ll see each other in the police station!" Lu Zhaozhao commanded the nearby assistant, "Call the police now!"
She scanned the crew and announced, "If Zhao Qingfeng can’t produce any evidence today, I will sue him for defamation. I will bear all the losses of today’s shoot, and I hope everyone can testify for me later."
People who had originally come to watch the drama were shocked, not expecting Lu Zhaozhao to be so tough!
