Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 539 - 21: After Divorce, the Cannon Fodder Joins a Romance Variety Show

Chapter 539: Chapter 21: After Divorce, the Cannon Fodder Joins a Romance Variety Show

The director frowned.

A collision, and it’s an elderly person.

He had already chosen the two safest and most reliable modes of transportation, and even the electric bike didn’t go over twenty miles per hour, so how could there still be a collision?

Filming had to continue, she couldn’t hold up everyone for this.

"I’ll go take a look."

Murong Yan furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and still decided to say.

"I’ll go take a look too."

To prevent her from rambling in front of the camera, it’d be best to keep an eye on her, ideally have her leave after this episode ends.

"Then let’s all take a look, so Jiang Lai won’t be nervous on her own."

A small clinic was crowded with people outside.

Filming was still ongoing.

The comments section was already in chaos.

[I couldn’t help but laugh; riding a bicycle so fast that it hit a person, can such a person still stay on for filming?]

[The old lady was hit by an electric bike, not a regular one. How can you say such nonsense without knowing anything?]

[Shang Qingrao’s mouth is really something, spouting nonsense to blame Jiang Lai.]

[I’ve recorded everything that happened just now; everyone can watch the link. Jiang Lai is really wronged this time.]

Once the link was shared, it had hundreds of thousands of views instantly.

[It’s all a misunderstanding, it really has nothing to do with Jiang Lai.]

[Shang Qingrao should apologize, her careless remark made Jiang Lai get blamed until now.]

[Indeed, public figures should be more cautious with their words and actions. Qingqing’s remarks earlier were too hasty.]

[Normally, anyone seeing the scene would think it was Jiang Lai who hit the person, right?]

[It’s all a misunderstanding, Qingqing didn’t do it intentionally, and she still went with Jiang Lai.]

After Shang Qingrao arrived at the clinic, she waited outside and commented anxiously after the director went in.

"Elderly people aren’t physically strong to begin with; I don’t know how badly they’ve been hurt by the collision."

Murong Yan comforted her.

"It’s not related to you. Why was she riding so fast in the first place? The director went in; surely he can handle it."

Outside the clinic were people from the filming crew; Shang Qingrao looked around, then turned to Liang Qizhou.

"Brother, why are you guys here too? The sun is so intense and you’re not even wearing a hat?"

With that, Shang Qingrao took a sunhat out from her bag and handed it over.

"Wear it now, since the next drama you work on requires a specific skin tone, be careful not to get tanned or the director will complain."

[Qingqing is so considerate!]

[Our Zhou Zhou’s skin really gets red from the sun easily; it’s quite pitiful.]

[Their friendship is really touching.]

Liang Qizhou took the hat but handed it directly to Zhou Luo next to him.

"Jiang Lai just gave me a bottle of sunscreen, and I don’t need the hat."

"Your skin, don’t just use some niche brand products carelessly, see, it’s already red here."

As she said this, Shang Qingrao reached out her hand, and as she was about to touch the sun-reddened area near Liang Qizhou’s eye, he dodged.

"It’s okay, the sunscreen is quite useful and not greasy, the hat should go to someone who needs it."

With that, Zhou Luo unabashedly placed the hat on his own head and cheerfully said thank you.

Shang Qingrao’s smile faltered slightly but quickly returned to normal and she asked again.

"Where’s the sunscreen? Let me try it too; if it’s good I can help promote it."

Liang Qizhou handed over the sunscreen, and Shang Qingrao glanced at this brand she had heard of but never used, hesitated a bit, and then tried a bit on an inconspicuous part of her hand.

It felt cool and indeed wasn’t greasy. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But for a brand that Jiang Lai could represent, how good could it really be?

[Be cautious with products used on your face.]

[Jiang Lai used it and the effect was great, the official site stock sold out instantly.]

[Some people should stop being naive; the reason celebrities are fair-skinned isn’t solely down to these skincare products. Believe it, and you’re a fool.]

[Haha, don’t buy any, don’t compete with me!]

"It feels okay, you can leave the rest with me."

Liang Qizhou looked at the sunscreen, pursed his lips, but ultimately said nothing.

Not much was left anyway, might as well borrow some from Jiang Lai when there’s a chance later.

Soon, the director came out.

The situation inside wasn’t filmed, as the privacy of the elderly person needed to be respected.

After coming out, Liang Qizhou and Zhou Luo also approached.

Murong Yan glanced inside, then asked softly.

"Is the situation serious?"

"Initially diagnosed as a fracture, but it’s none of our business now, arrangements have been made to send the elderly lady to the hospital in the city by boat."

Shang Qingrao further questioned.

"Since we were together, we can’t let Jiang Lai handle it alone. How about this, we can first explain the situation to the audience, pause the filming, and resume once the elderly lady’s condition stabilizes."

Murong Yan nodded in agreement.

"Makes sense, even if it holds up everyone’s time, we need to clarify the situation."

The director, hearing them echoing each other, couldn’t help but frown puzzledly.

"What are you talking about?"

"Jiang Lai’s matter."

"What’s it got to do with her? She was just being kind-hearted, helping to bring the elderly lady for treatment. Now that she’s been sent, we resume filming."

Shang Qingrao was momentarily stunned, then asked softly.

"It wasn’t Jiang Lai who hit her?"

The director waved with an amused look.

"What’s it got to do with her? She just happened to come across the scene by chance, and since the person has been taken care of, we’ll have our crew send her over once the boat arrives, it won’t delay the filming."

It wasn’t her who hit her?

Why would she go to such lengths to ride the bike and bring the elderly lady to the clinic?

Shang Qingrao realized she had misspoken earlier; considering how people online can blow things out of proportion, a flash of insight crossed her eyes, and she quickly added.

"That’s good to know, I was really frightened when I saw a crowd surrounding them, thinking Jiang Lai accidentally bumped into the elderly lady. Good that it wasn’t her."

At this moment, Liang Qizhou glanced up at her, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

Shang Qingrao exhaled in relief, her reaction was naturally seamless.

[Qingqing didn’t do it on purpose, after all, anyone would mistake Jiang Lai in that scenario.]

[Just misspoke, and you’re all attacking; can’t stand to see others doing well, can you?]

[Hmm, when your Qingqing is randomly slandered next time, hope you defend others just the same way.]

[First: She’s not an ordinary person but a public figure, her every move is followed by the public.

Second: Casually accusing someone of hitting a person is detestable irrespective of intention.]

[Must you make a huge deal out of something small? Who can guarantee they’ll never misspeak in the future?]

Shang Qingrao was full of guilt and slight uneasiness.

Murong Yan felt pained seeing it, chimed in supportively.

"I also misunderstood at the time."

Shang Qingrao quickly added.

"Everyone was busy with the task at hand and saw Jiang Lai so anxious, that’s why I..."

Just then Jiang Lai suddenly opened the door and came out, Shang Qingrao hurried forward to ask.

"How’s the elderly lady?"
