Chapter 67: I Won’t Let Anything Happen to You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qu Wan realized that things might have gone array from the sudden change of Ling Yuqing’s face. “What happened?”

“Kang Shao’s hands got chopped off, and he’s in the hospital now going through surgery!” Ling Yuqing looked startled and terrified. She didn’t expect things would turn out like that. She was waiting for the news of Ling Tianya being destroyed, instead she got the news of Kang Shao’s hands being chopped off.

What did Ling Tianya do? Ling Yuqing was hit by a sense of terror that was beyond her imagination.

She picked up her phone and dialed Xin Xin again. No answer.

“Mom, Xin Xin is not picking up either. Something must have happened! What should we do now?” Ling Yuqing was panicking. Things were heading the opposite direction of what she expected. More importantly, she had absolutely no idea of what had happened.

“Don’t panic. Things already happened, so panicking is not going to help.” Qu Wan seemed much calmer. After all, she was more experienced.

She knew that the situation they found themselves in was suboptimal. “Kang Shao’s hands were off chopped for a reason. The number one priority right now is to find out what actually happened.”

“Yes, yes! I’m going to the hospital right now!” Ling Yuqing almost walked out the door before her mother stopped her.

“Are you stupid? If you show up at the hospital now, isn’t it obvious to Ling Tianya that you and Kang Shao are connected?”

“Then what should I do?” Ling Yuqing didn’t really care about Kang Shao’s hands, but if the Kang Family found out that he lost his hands because he was helping her, they would make her pay.

Qu Wan recognized the seriousness of the situation. She tried to regain some focus, “Don’t worry, let’s stay in the hotel for the time being. Nothing has actually happened as far as we’re concerned, other than the fact that we know Kang Shao’s hands were chopped off. Ling Tianya has not come looking for us, which means we are still safe. I suspect that Ling Tianya may not even know we’re involved.”

“You’re right, mom!” Nodded Ling Yuqing. “But what should we do about Kang Shao?”

Qu Wan thought about it for a second, “Don’t you worry. It could be that his hands had nothing to do with what we’re doing. Just in case, we should be prepared. I’m going to contact the Mr. Bai and ask him to help sort it out. At the end of the day, mom won’t let anything happen to you!”

After the reassurance from Qu Wan, Ling Yuqing felt much better. Mr. Bai was there to help them, so there shouldn’t be a problem.

“Mr. Bai has been quite loyal to us, hasn’t him? He has done a lot for us all these years.” Ling Yuqing smiled as she started to recover from the nerve-racking moment earlier.

Qu Wan didn’t respond. She had faith in Mr. Bai’s ability to handle Kang Shao’s affair. What she didn’t have much faith in was Ling Tianya. She and Ling Yuqing got in trouble on multiple occasions thanks to Ling Tianya. Although every time they were able to finagle their way out, it had made Qu Wan rethink her strategy towards the girl.

“I think for the time being, we should hold off on sabotaging Ling Tianya. That girl has some tricks up her sleeves.” said Qu Wan with a sour expression.

“Are we going to keep living in the hotel? Can you be content with that, mom?” Obviously, Ling Yuqing couldn’t be.

Qu Wan was not pleased to hear that subject mentioned. Her face darkened as she spoke, “There are other ways for us to go home. The bottom line is to keep away from Ling Tianya for now. Besides, even if we take it easy on her, there will be other people who find her disagreeable.”

A few days after the events had passed, even with what Qu Wan had said a few days before, Ling Yuqing couldn’t help but feel uneasy. The few days had passed without much activity, there was no one that came to find trouble with her, so she had gradually relaxed and forgot about the event.

Even though the audition wasn’t too successful, it was a huge project. From the investors, producing company, to the director, screenwriter, they were all top-notch. With Guan Meiyi as the female lead, the preparations afterwards went along well and quickly.

On the official day of the filming, after a short but meaningful opening ceremony, the blockbuster drama “Lie Yan” – directed by Zhang Heng, written by TY, a.k.a. Ling Tianya, withGuan Meiyi as the female lead, and Yuan Teng Corporation as their investor – had officially started filming.

Because of what happened during the audition, Guan Meiyi had been intensifying her acting training. She fully knew that, putting aside the fact that Ling Tianya was the screenwriter for the drama, the work would definitely be the peak of her career. No matter what, she definitely couldn’t fail!

She especially couldn’t be looked down on by Ling Tianya. For all those years, she had maintained a state of dignity, looking down at them from above. She refused to allow herself to show any weaknesses before Ling Tianya, she would always be the Guan Meiyi that Ling Tianya had to look up to!

Even if Guan Meiyi hadn’t realized it, subconsciously, she had started to prioritize the gap between her and Ling Tianya.

In the beginning, the few scenes were relatively simple, and the filming was going great. Guan Meiyi just had to appear natural, and most shots were passed in their first go. The director looked pleased too. That gave Guan Meiyi a great boost of confidence, feeling that the acting that she had been training on had started to work.

Just as Guan Meiyi thought that she had a hold on the situation, Ling Tianya suddenly called for a ‘cut’.

Ling Tianya critically looked at Guan Meiyi, before talking to the director, Zhang Heng, “Mr. Zhang, I feel that the female lead’s image is too beautiful right now, and not plain enough. It won’t create a stunning enough contrast when she comes back glamorous.”

Listening to Ling Tianya, Guan Meiyi frowned, she looked down at her outfit – tattered rough cotton clothes, her hair free of any accessories and styling. Was she still not plain enough? Then what would be considered plain?

Just as Guan Meiyi was about to state her opinion, she saw Zhang Heng nodding in agreement, “Yes, I felt that something was missing too, but only realized that this was the issue when you brought it up. How do you think we should change it then?”

“Why don’t we give Meiyi a short-haired wig? Actually, the best idea would be to just cut her hair and use that instead, but I think Meiyi won’t agree to that, so let’s just use a wig.”

“What?!” Hearing that Ling Tianya wanted to her to cut her hair short, Guan Meiyi’s face fell, “The look was decided before we started filming, isn’t it too hasty to change it now?”

Back when they were finalizing the look, Guan Meiyi had not been too cooperative then, this current image was the limit of what she could tolerate. She felt that she was already plain enough. She refused to allow herself look worse than she did!

Ling Tianya smiled, patiently explaining things to Guan Meiyi, “Meiyi, this drama is important to every one of us, every one of us wants to make “Lie Yan” the best. I believe you, as the female lead, would like to do that too, right?”

“You–!” Guan Meiyi gritted her teeth, “Of course I do! It doesn’t require me to wear a wig, right?”

“Of course it does, since we have found the issue, we should solve it. A blockbuster requires the ultimate attention to every detail. The director has agreed with me too, hasn’t he?” Ling Tianya looked at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng nodded, agreeing with Ling Tianya’s suggestion, “Yes, actually. Meiyi, I think that you should cut your real hair short, what do you think? You’re the actress, you should make some sacrifices for your work.”

With Zhang Heng’s words, Guan Meiyi grabbed onto her silky hair subconsciously, her hair was her most prized asset. She absolutely refused to cut it, and neither would she wear that wretched wig either!

She was Guan Meiyi, she was the nation’s goddess, she would not be ugly! Even more, she wouldl not let Ruan Zeyan see her like that!
