Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 591: These Two People Want to Harm Her...

Sister Mu pondered for a moment before saying, "This matter involves someone’s life; we must come up with an infallible plan."

"Of course." Lin Qian narrowed her eyes coldly. "I already have the beginnings of a plan..." She leaned close to the agent’s ear and whispered her thoughts.

Meanwhile, at the slightly ajar doorway, assistant Xiao Yue leaned silently against the wall, quietly overhearing most of their conversation.

That Miss Ji is a decent person, but these two are plotting against her...

Xiao Yue’s heart waged a fierce struggle. Should she go and warn Miss Ji?

...

In the evening, everyone worked together to prepare a bountiful hotpot meal, eating in a lively atmosphere. At Xia Duoduo’s urging, Ji Wei decided to stay two more days before going back to Rongcheng.

The next day.

Ye Cheng had urgent business and left first. In the morning, Ji accompanied Xia Duoduo to the filming site.

The shoot went surprisingly smoothly. The previous day, Lin Qian had caused an uproar, but today she didn’t give them any trouble. This left Xia Duoduo utterly shocked.

Did the sun rise from the west today?

At the end of the filming, Lin Qian suddenly announced that tonight, she was inviting the entire crew to dinner; it was her birthday today.

Everyone gladly accepted.

Filming is usually tough, and it was rare to have such an opportunity to relax and hang out.

"Miss Xia, there might have been some misunderstandings yesterday. Don’t take it to heart. I hope you’ll come to tonight’s dinner." Lin Qian specifically walked over to Xia Duoduo to say this.

Yesterday’s slap was a misunderstanding? Who are you fooling?

Xia Duoduo secretly rolled her eyes, unwilling to pay attention to Lin Qian.

This woman’s sudden change in attitude today was a bit too much. Being overly friendly for no reason—up to no good, for sure.

Seeing Xia Duoduo pretending not to hear, sitting there waiting for her assistant to remove her makeup, Lin Qian suppressed her irritation and forced a smile. "Let’s just call it even for what happened yesterday. Miss Xia, you’re not a petty person, right?"

Xia Duoduo let out a scoffing noise through her nose.

"What kind of attitude is that? Our Qianqian is lowering herself to talk nicely to you, and you’re acting all high and mighty! Who do you think you are!" Sister Mu couldn’t bear it any longer and roared.

"Sister Mu!" Lin Qian rebuked in a coquettish tone, giving her a look to hold her back. "Miss Xia, I won’t force you to come tonight. But we’re all part of the same crew, running into each other constantly on set. If you don’t give me this bit of face, I can’t promise there won’t be hiccups in future filming."

Lin Qian’s words were blatantly threatening.

Xia Duoduo clenched her hands tightly, looked up, and flashed a sarcastically cold smile. "Sorry, but I’m still not interested in your birthday party."

Lin Qian’s chest heaved with anger, but in the end, she swallowed her fury and walked away with the agent in tow.

The rest of the crew were all cheerfully packing up, eagerly anticipating the evening’s gathering. When Ji Wei saw Xia Duoduo finish her makeup removal, she was about to go over to her, but at that moment, Lin Qian’s assistant walked up.

"Miss Ji, thank you for helping me out yesterday... Could I treat you to a cup of hot milk?" Xiao Yue timidly offered the milk in her hand.

"Sorry, Miss prefers not to drink—"

Mary was about to intervene, but Ji Wei spoke first. "I appreciate the thought."

She accepted the cup of milk.

"Miss Ji, you’re so kind." Xiao Yue gave a shy smile, but before leaving, her eyes lingered on the paper cup in Ji Wei’s hands for a long time.

It seemed like there was something she wanted to say but couldn’t.

Ji Wei caught the assistant’s uncomfortable expression. After the girl had walked away, she lowered her gaze to the paper cup.

On the cup, a line of small text was written with a black marker pen.

Ji Wei was slightly taken aback, but then the corners of her lips curled into a subtle, intriguing smile.
