This time, Xia Siyu concentrated her attention, as she was an actress. Although she hadn’t won any awards for her previous roles and mostly portrayed naive and innocent characters, the fact that she could at least get a nomination at the Gold Oscar Film Festival was a testament to her competent acting skills.

Moreover, since she was only reciting lines from the script, with just a slight addition for the advertisement, she nailed it in one take as soon as they resumed filming.

After that take, there were a few still shots. Xia Siyu had walked red carpets and posed for countless formal pictures; plus, her face was truly too beautiful, with a natural highlight. She was the type of beauty that you would notice at first glance in a crowd, with no bad angles in 360 degrees. Following the photographer’s instructions, she struck several poses, each one outstanding.

The shoot started at five o’clock. The director had feared the lighting would be insufficient and had almost arranged for spotlights, but before five thirty, all the footage was captured.

After changing clothes, the crew was also wrapping up. Xia Siyu had already made her way to the parking lot when halfway there, she touched her neck and suddenly realized her necklace was gone: “My necklace.”

At her shout, Wei Jingjing and the others also paused. They immediately turned back with her, heading to the shoot location and the makeup room.

Fortunately, the yard where they had been filming was still open, but despite searching together for nearly half an hour, they found nothing.

As the sun was setting and it was gradually getting dark. Although Xia Siyu had no engagements that evening, staying there indefinitely was not an option. Wei Jingjing was getting anxious, “What kind of necklace was it? Provided by a sponsor?”

Xia Siyu shook her head.

“Is it expensive? Made of gold or studded with diamonds?” 𝚏𝗿𝗲ew𝐞b𝐧o𝚟𝚎𝗹.com

She continued to shake her head and gestured with her hands, “It’s not expensive, just an ordinary silver necklace shaped like a heart, about the size of a thumbnail. But it’s very important to me.”

So they continued the search. A few of them split up, with Wei Jingjing and Driver Xiaotang heading to the makeup room, the makeup artist going to check the restroom, and the two bodyguards wandering around the yard.

Xia Siyu started to recall the events. She distinctly remembered that after filming and changing costumes, she had personally held the necklace. But she hadn’t worn it; instead, she had carelessly put it in her pocket. It might have fallen out accidentally when she was reaching into her pocket later.

Following her memory, she slowly traced her way back from the yard. Sure enough, after walking about three or four hundred meters, she saw something shiny in the grass by the roadside. It was her necklace.

The pendant’s design looked somewhat outdated, appearing to be a style from at least twenty years ago. Tapping it lightly against the clasp, the heart could be opened, inside lay a tiny photo.

In the photo, a young woman was with a little girl who was a few years old. Judging by the background, it looked like they were abroad. The young woman bore a striking resemblance to Xia Siyu, about seventy to eighty percent similar, only she was thinner, her gaze sharper, and her cheekbones higher. As she looked, Xia Siyu gently brushed the dust off the pendant, then carefully closed it and placed it in a compartment of her bag.

After securing the necklace, she sent Wei Jingjing a message on Wechat: “Found the necklace. Come out, I’m almost at the parking lot, I’ll wait for you here.”

Just as she put down her phone, she faintly heard the sound of a man making a phone call around the corner, which sounded like Bo Yan.
