After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 407 - 405: Really Annoying

"I didn’t mean to be impulsive, it was just that the person might very well be the mastermind behind the assault on us,"

Hao Li thought for a moment, assuming that Feng Jiaye was feeling sympathetic toward her as a mother.

Just as she finished speaking, however, Feng Jiaye exploded in anger, "You’re not hurt?! Ha! If you hadn’t intervened, that person wouldn’t have touched you at all!"

"Uh..."

Feng Jiaye’s words clearly stunned Hao Li.

Indeed, the assailant had only hit Xiao Jinglan and was about to flee; she wouldn’t have been hit if she hadn’t clung to him desperately.

But her son wasn’t there at the time, how did he know?

With a puzzled look, she turned to Feng Jiaye, about to speak, when he continued, "I sent that person. If he hadn’t hit you, he would have been caught! Then you and I would both end up in jail!"

"!!!"

Hao Li was utterly shocked.

"He... you... that..."

She didn’t know where to start.

After a long pause, she finally managed to gather her words, "So what do we do now?"

Feng Jiaye snorted coldly without sympathy, "What can we do? If it weren’t for the mixed public opinion at the hospital and the fact that the person was detained by you, he would’ve been caught already!"

"..."

Now, Hao Li dared not say another word.

She feared that continuing the conversation would only result in more scolding.

Fortunately, the person had acted decisively and hit her; otherwise, if he had been caught, both she and her daughter would have been doomed.

Hao Li was completely preoccupied with the worry that the man who had hit them might be caught, forgetting to ask Feng Jiaye why he had someone hit Xiao Jinglan.

Meanwhile, Xiao Mo, outside the hospital room, had heard every word of their conversation clearly.

He furrowed his brows, surprised to find out that it was Feng Jiaye who had arranged the assault.

Feng Jiaye had indeed caught him off guard by using such a desperate strategy.

He had always considered the Feng family as mere clowns, incapable of causing any serious trouble; now, it seemed, he needed to be more cautious.

Moreover, now that Hao Li had admitted to knowing their secret, he had to strike first!

Thinking this, Xiao Mo watched the silence settle inside the room before he finally turned and left.

It was time to teach the Feng family a lesson...

Lu Zhaozhao had just been discharged from the hospital a few days ago and returned to the film crew.

Luckily, her role wasn’t significant, so taking a few sick days hadn’t affected the schedule too much.

Several people from the crew, who were on good terms with Lu Zhaozhao, came to her dressing room to chat until it was time to shoot.

The director, knowing that Lu Zhaozhao had just come from the hospital, didn’t want to assign her too strenuous a role, so he scheduled one scene for her in the morning and another in the afternoon.

After getting her makeup done, Lu Zhaozhao went over to the set and saw Sun Qian in the rest area.

She had previously had a falling out with Sun Qian over Xia Wenyan, and Lu Zhaozhao didn’t plan on greeting her.

As she was passing by Sun Qian, she heard a sarcastic voice ring out, "Some people are really delicate; a mere fly swat sends them to the hospital for days."

Lu Zhaozhao knew Sun Qian was deliberately talking about her, so she gave her a cold glance and crisply replied with four words, "None of your business."

She really couldn’t stand Sun Qian’s opportunistic attitude, warm and friendly when she wanted something and completely different when she did not.

Now knowing that she couldn’t take advantage of her, Sun Qian was making sarcastic remarks here.

So annoying.

Since her rebirth, the women who had managed to annoy Lu Zhaozhao this much were only Xiao Jinglan and Xia Wenjin, and now Sun Qian was the first.

She didn’t want to have anything to do with this kind of person, but she just had to come and bother her.

Sun Qian’s face fell at once, and she glared at Lu Zhaozhao, "I was just saying, why are you so guilty? Why so eager to take it personally?"

Lu Zhaozhao looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "I was also just speaking my mind. Why are you getting angry?"

She could talk in riddles, couldn’t she?

She, a top actress in the entertainment industry, didn’t care about her image, so what did she have to fear?

"Lu Zhaozhao, I’m warning you, don’t get too smug. In this circle, it’s not all about who you know," Sun Qian squinted and warned impulsively.

She had given Lu Zhaozhao face before, but it was her own choice not to take it.

So she couldn’t blame her afterward.

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes instantly smiled more brightly, giving her a particularly radiant fake smile, "Thank you, Teacher Sun, for reminding me about having connections. I will try to make more use of them in the future."

After saying this, she nodded to Sun Qian and turned to walk towards another lounge area.

As soon as Lu Zhaozhao sat down, Lin Baiyu hurried over, "Zhaozhao, you’ve got to see this."

She gestured with her chin for Lu Zhaozhao to turn around.

Only then did Lu Zhaozhao see that, right next to where Sun Qian had been sitting, a relatively unfamiliar actor had appeared.

He was busily attending to Sun Qian at her side, and if it hadn’t been for his costume, Lu Zhaozhao might have thought he was her assistant.

Having thought this, Lu Zhaozhao took another look at him, the costume he was wearing did look somewhat familiar.

"Is that person new?" Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but ask Lin Baiyu.

With Xia Wenjin’s recent scandal, it was normal for her role to be recast and a new actor to be brought in.

"She is indeed new, but she is the previous Female No. 5 who was replaced," Lin Baiyu explained as he glanced at Sun Qian and the female actor.

"This role was originally intended for Zhang Qiao, but she had no strong connections and wasn’t very skilled, so she was easily replaced. Now that the production has had to replace someone last minute, and she was available, they brought her back."

Lu Zhaozhao nodded, not making a big deal of it.

After all, this kind of thing was common in the entertainment industry.

Whose backing was stronger, that’s who got the resources.

People without strong backing were easily pushed out, securing a role was all about ability.

Not long after Lu Zhaozhao shifted her gaze, Sun Qian looked her way, frowning and picking up her script in irritation.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiao carefully asked, "Teacher Sun, is there something bothering you?"

She had been reluctantly ousted from her role earlier, and though she felt resentful, without any powerful support, she was powerless.

However, who could have expected that the person who replaced her would have their career tumble so quickly? It was like karma.

After being brought back into the production, she resolved to latch onto someone powerful.

Knowing she had no connections or networks, being around these top-tier celebrities meant she could only play the sidekick...
