"Is there anything else?" Jiayi stopped in her tracks.

Coco looked down at the costume on her body that had been altered to fit perfectly, her eyes narrowing with endless allure and arrogance as she spoke lightly, "Your craftsmanship and design style are both very good, but when it comes to dealing with people, you need to be more sensible."

Jiayi’s eyelashes flickered, indifferently: "I don’t understand what Miss Coco means."

Coco smiled faintly: "I know Ms. Chu is Mr. Huo’s ex-wife. However, the fact that Mr. Huo entrusts the drama’s costume supply to your f.wang simply shows that he is kind and righteous towards his ex-wife, hoping you’ll be more financially comfortable, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he still has feelings for you. Don’t overthink it."

Jiayi suddenly found it amusing.

Huo Zhenyang’s statement "You are my woman" made Coco so delighted that she couldn’t help but come show off her power.

Indeed!

Being pitied by such a man is certainly something many women find worthy of boasting! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Too bad she picked the wrong target.

"Can Miss Coco clarify what she’s saying?" She provoked intentionally.

Coco made herself clear: "What I mean is, since you two are already divorced, there’s no need for any further contact. I know you’re working for the crew now and inevitably have to come over every other day, but please be aware in the future, if you know Mr. Huo is with me, kindly do not come over to disturb us. Be sensible, do you understand?"

Jiayi’s lips formed a genuinely sincere smile: "Instead of teaching others how to behave, you might want to put more effort into thinking about how to stay by the financier’s side longer."

Coco’s face stiffened, clearly understanding the mockery.

For a wealthy man like Huo Zhenyang, even if there were a woman by his side, how could there only be her?

After playing around for a while, she would naturally be discarded by him.

Jiayi was ridiculing her; she wasn’t even worthy of being called a mistress or plaything.

Seeing Jiayi turning to walk towards the door, Coco, unable to contain her anger, quickly followed and grabbed her shoulder: "Don’t you walk away—"

Coco wasn’t very strong, but Jiayi had not eaten all day, feeling dizzy and blurry. With Coco’s pull, she lost her footing all of a sudden.

The world spun and she slipped.

The news of Jiayi fainting in Coco’s makeup room spread throughout the crew in a matter of minutes.

A few minutes before shooting, Coco was about to go to the set when the stage manager told her Mr. Huo was looking for her.

She felt somewhat uneasy, yet she arrived at the door of the resting room, knocked on it, and went inside.

Upon entering, the atmosphere felt like it had plunged into an ice cave, silent and cold.

On the sofa, the man’s profile appeared clear, cold, and unrivaled.

Remembering the incident of Jiayi fainting ten minutes earlier, she felt a sudden trepidation but still mustered her spirits and called out softly, "Mr. Huo—"

Before her words fell, she felt an ice-cold figure suddenly rise, stride towards her in two steps, and swing a harsh slap across her face!

A slap! It echoed throughout the room!

Coco was slapped onto the floor, feeling a burning pain on her face, and one ear ringing, unable to hear anything.

She could only make out the man in front of her, his handsome face seething with anger, like a menacing ghost.

She immediately realized the man struck her because of Jiayi!

But less than an hour ago, Mr. Huo treated that ex-wife with no marital affection whatsoever...

And now in a turn, he actually assaulted her for his ex-wife’s sake!

Coco was in utter shock: "Mr. Huo, you can’t be—"

Huo Zhenyang certainly knew what she wanted to say. With cold eyes, each word arose as if from the depths of hell, bringing a chill:

"Apart from me, no one is allowed to bully her. Is that clear."

Coco finally reacted!

Huo Shao can humiliate Jiayi, but he would never allow others to slight her even the slightest!

Fear in her heart overpowering the pain, Coco got up tearfully and begged for mercy:

"Huo Shao, Miss Chu’s fainting has nothing to do with me, I just touched her slightly and she passed out, I didn’t do anything to her..."

"Really did nothing?" The man’s face grew even darker, his voice as chilling as a frigid pool.

Coco didn’t dare to deceive the man before her, crying her eyes out: "Really... really... I... I just told her a few words, asked her to stay away from you on the set in the future, and not to disturb us when I’m with you... At most... at most, I have a foul mouth, but I didn’t do anything to her, I swear I won’t talk nonsense ever again..."

The man’s eyes flickered, coldly: "How did she respond to you."

Coco cried non-stop: "... She didn’t say much, just told me to worry about whether I can stay by your side for long...

His facial muscles twitched slightly, collapsed even more fiercely.

So that little woman is actually eager to push other women into his arms!

Just then, the door banged open.

George walked in, glanced at Coco lying wretchedly on the floor, and looked towards the Boss:

"Boss, the young mistress just fainted because she hadn’t eaten all day and had low blood sugar. She was busy all day and overly exhausted. The set’s doctor has checked her, she’s fine, and resting downstairs now."

Coco heaved a great sigh of relief, yet felt greatly wronged. She cried and said: "See, I didn’t lie to Huo Shao, did I... I really didn’t touch her..."

"Get out. If you dare to bother her again, I’ll make you leave the set immediately."

Coco wiped her tears, humiliated to the extreme but as if granted a pardon, holding her swollen face, she staggered out.

George took a glance at Huo Zhenyang: "Boss, do you want to... go see the young mistress. She’s resting in a room downstairs."

"No need." His eyes were frightfully somber.

In the end, his eyelashes flickered, and his brows furrowed tightly, "Order takeout, deliver it within ten minutes!"

*

In the resting room.

Jiayi took a rest for a while and felt much better.

Alas, just now was too embarrassing, she had argued with Coco and ended up fainting from hunger.

But...

She rubbed her stomach, which growled even more fiercely than before.

Getting hungrier and hungrier.

Right, the kind crew member said earlier that they would bring her a meal box, she should eat and then drive back.

She returned to the makeup room she was in before and pushed open the door, smelling an incredibly fragrant aroma of food.

Taking a deep breath, she widened her eyes.

A glass table in the makeup room was filled with food kept warm in thermal bowls.

At a glance, there were at least dozens of dishes, a mix of meat and vegetables, nutritious and well-paired, with a bowl of fragrant white rice on the side.

There was even a rich scent of chicken soup...

This—Is this what they call a meal box from the set?

Impossible!

She couldn’t believe it, thinking of going out to ask someone, but the shooting had already started in the afternoon, and there was nobody to be found in the whole building.
