Not long after the call ended, the comments online changed drastically.

A video of Pei Yaochi practicing with the martial arts director on set for two consecutive days was released.

On the first day, Liang Xuer came late and said that she didn’t have time to put on makeup.

Liang Xuer’s assistant went to the set the next day to inform the director that she had to go to the hospital because it was too late for filming.

There was also a medical record of Liang Xuer’s illness.

“If Liang Xuer is sick, she’s sick. If others are sick, she’s putting on airs?”

“After a night of filming, it’s understandable that she’s not in a good state the next day. However, there are many people filming at night. Why don’t I see anyone feeling unwell?”

“Even doctors don’t recommend getting an IV drip if the cough and cold aren’t serious. Why does she have to insist on it? Who is she putting on an apologetic expression for? Who doesn’t know that she’s clinging onto a capitalist? Haven’t there been many cases of her throwing her weight around and standing someone up?”

“Look at her assistant taking leave from the director.”

“Pei Yaochi is acting all high and mighty? It’s obvious that Liang Xuer’s team is spreading rumors about her.”

“She’s also a rich young lady, but she’s fine after practicing difficult fighting scenes for two days. Why did she lie down after filming for a night? She’s so delicate, why is she an actress?”

“Don’t say that Pei Yaochi has delayed the filming progress. Your Liang Bing has been acting like a diva for three consecutive days. She hasn’t even learned how to act and she’s already using a gun? Even a world-class actor wouldn’t dare to do that, right?”

“Pei Yaochi is acting all high and mighty? She stood Xu’er up? Why are these two topics so funny?”

Liang Xuer’s fans were slapped in the face and many of them left.

A bunch of marketing accounts naturally wouldn’t let go of such a popular topic. The number of shares and discussions soared.

Another hot topic appeared—

Liang Xuer was fair and green.

White lotus and green tea.

Liang Xuer was so angry that her face turned pale.

In the past three years, she had never experienced such a large-scale online mockery.

Staring at the trending topic “Pei Yaochi is a diva”, she tightened her grip on her phone.

“Who did this?”

The assistant shook his head fearfully. “I don’t know. Perhaps she can’t stand Pei Yaochi or she’s blocking someone’s path…”

But Liang Xuer felt that something was amiss.

Who would dare to lay a hand on the Pei family’s daughter?

With this, Liang Xuer dropped a few magazines and an endorsement deal.

They all turned to Pei Yaochi and the other brands.

Annoyed by the call, Ye Qingqiu pushed it to Shen Fanxing.

Shen Fanxing wasn’t annoyed and accepted it readily.

She sent a message to Li Tingshen.

“I messed with your heart a little.”

When Li Tingshen received Shen Fanxing’s message, he called Xiao Chu.

Xiao Chu said, “Miss Liang has been… feeling unwell these few days and has delayed the filming…”

“What about her?”

Li Tingshen interrupted Xiao Chu.

Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment. “…Miss Ye? Miss Ye has been accompanying Miss Pei on set every day. However, Miss Liang hasn’t been feeling well recently and can’t film. She took advantage of this free time to go to Mansion Number Eight…”

Li Tingshen frowned. “Eighth Mansion?”

“Yes… yes, selling alcohol…”

“Tell Guo Mingcheng that we’ll give him another two months. If he can’t finish filming, he might as well stop!”

Xiao Chu was silent for a moment before saying, “But it’s mainly because of Miss Liang. Director Guo has no choice.”

“He has a solution after I die?”

Xiao Chu was shocked. “I’ll communicate with him immediately.”

Having not suffered such grievances for three years, how could Liang Xuer still be in the mood to film?

Her calls and messages to Li Tingshen went unanswered.

However, the director’s attitude suddenly hardened. No matter what, he wanted her to hurry up with the filming.

She had no choice. Public opinion was everywhere online. If she continued to delay, who knew what would happen?

She had wanted to embarrass Ye Qingqiu, but she had forced herself into an awkward situation.

She spent the entire morning learning from the martial arts director.

Ye Qingqiu had just earned a huge sum of money and was feeling especially relaxed. With a lollipop in her mouth, she watched Liang Xuer fall onto the wire with a smile.

As a matter of fact, she was looking at Liang Xuer like she was a flower made of RMB.

This action had caused her wallet to bulge.

Pei Yaochi’s positive image was very good now and her popularity had increased a lot. Endorsements, magazines, and various advertisements were gradually promoted.

She suddenly understood why Shen Fanxing became more energetic as she worked.

Not only did he torture her, but he also received countless dividends.

She really knew how to enjoy life.

Looking at Ye Qingqiu’s relaxed expression, Liang Xuer gritted her teeth.

In this world, the last thing she wanted was for Ye Qingqiu to see her as a joke.

The fight scene did not go smoothly. It was especially strenuous for Liang Xuer to fight Pei Yaochi, who had been practicing for a few days.

There were some bumps and bruises along the way. In the past, the director had already shouted for her to stop, but today, it was as if he was going against her. Not only did he ignore the injuries on her body, but he had also thrown the script at her more than twice.

Liang Xuer felt humiliated and tears welled up in her eyes.

Just as Liang Xuer failed to dodge Pei Yaochi’s sword, her knee scraped the ground again. After the director shouted, “Cut!”, her assistant ran up and lifted Liang Xuer’s skirt. When she saw her knee that was already bleeding, her face turned pale.

Unable to take it anymore, she said angrily, “The actress is already so injured. Do you still want to continue? Have you forgotten how much Mr Li cares about Xu’er’s health? In the past, Mr Li would get someone to send Xu’er to the hospital for a thorough checkup to ensure that she’s fine. Now that she’s in this state, aren’t you afraid that he will come back to settle scores with you?!”

Liang Xuer bit her lips and grabbed her assistant’s hand. “Stop talking. This is my job. This injury is nothing…”

Although the director was unhappy, he was still afraid of Li Tingshen.

Moreover, the actor was injured, so he couldn’t be too ruthless.

“Alright, go and rest first. We’ll continue after your wound is treated!”

“How can we continue? Next is the scene where you fall off a cliff and fall into the water. Do you think it’s appropriate to fall into the water after your wound has been treated?”

The assistant also lost her temper. “If you’re in a hurry to catch up, then find a substitute for this scene! If Xu’er’s wound gets infected, I’m afraid none of us can bear the consequences.”

The director was furious and smashed the script. “She was the one who swore that she didn’t want a stunt double. Where do you want me to find one now?”

At this moment, Liang Xuer’s other assistant ran over excitedly.

“Xu’er, Mr Li is back!”
