After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 409 - 407: What Is An’s Intention?

She stiffly tugged at the corner of her mouth and ultimately turned her head to look at the director and said, "Director, considering Teacher Lu just got back from the hospital, having her actually shoot in cold water might not be wise, just in case she gets sick again, which could affect the upcoming schedule."

The director furrowed his brows, seemingly at a loss for words.

He never intended to have them actually film in cold water.

It was Sun Qian who insisted earlier that not filming in water would affect the quality of the crucial scenes.

He knew Sun Qian was trying to put Lu Zhaozhao in a tough spot, but since it was a matter between the actresses, he didn’t feel the need to intervene, so he hadn’t.

Now she was tossing the blame onto him.

The director’s face visibly soured.

Lu Zhaozhao’s lips curved up slightly as she smiled and said, "It’s fine. My health may not be the best, but Teacher Sun can handle it. Besides her scenes with me, she also has a part where she falls into the water. How about Teacher Sun demonstrates it for me? If it doesn’t work out, we can always change it later."

"..."

"..."

The director couldn’t help but take another look at Lu Zhaozhao, realizing that beneath her delicate appearance, she wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

He had heard from other crew members that Sun Qian had suffered defeats at Lu Zhaozhao’s hands before, so it seemed... he had even less to worry about.

He just waited for the outcome.

Sun Qian’s face immediately darkened, "Teacher Lu, I was wholeheartedly thinking of you, yet you ask me to go into the water first. What are your true intentions?"

Lu Zhaozhao blinked innocently, "Teacher Sun, you’re misunderstanding me. You clearly said it was to avoid affecting the highlight of the scene. With such integrity and righteousness, I thought you wouldn’t refuse. Did I think wrong?"

"..."

Sun Qian clenched her fist, glaring venomously at Lu Zhaozhao before saying somberly, "I was just worried about Teacher Lu having just left the hospital, thinking your body might not hold up, but it seems I was overly concerned. Since it’s like this, let’s just proceed with the normal shooting later!"

After saying this, she didn’t pay any attention to how others viewed her and marched off.

The director touched his nose, gave Lu Zhaozhao a glance, and with a slight nod, left as well.

On the contrary, Lin Baiyu ran over from not too far away, "Zhaozhao, did you just offend Teacher Sun? You’re going to have it rough when shooting your scenes together later."

Her brow was tightly furrowed, clearly worried for Lu Zhaozhao.

The scene coming up was where Lu Zhaozhao’s character would stealthily attack the female lead, only to fall into the water due to a backlash.

If Sun Qian made things difficult for her later, she might be forced to repeatedly fall into the water in this cold weather.

Thinking about the outdoor temperature, Lin Baiyu couldn’t help but shiver.

She too had scenes to film in the water.

After all, she was the second female lead; most of her scenes overlapped with the male lead and the female lead.

If Sun Qian insisted on having everyone in the water, they would all suffer too.

It was impossible for Lin Baiyu not to resent Sun Qian at the bottom of her heart.

Lu Zhaozhao patted Lin Baiyu on the shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I can handle it."

She had no intention of just watching Sun Qian bully her.

As for the upcoming water scene, she naturally had prepared a special gift for Sun Qian. It remained to be seen whether she could take it or not.

Lu Zhaozhao thought about this, giving the director’s retreating figure a glance, her limpid eyes narrowing slightly...

At the same time, Sun Qian, who had left the set, returned to her nanny van.

As soon as she got into the van, she angrily threw everything within reach to the floor.

The assistants in the nanny van were naturally silent as sparrows, quietly tidying up the van, fearing that any peep would earn them a thorough scolding from Sun Qian.

"What were all of you doing just now?" Sun Qian sat in her seat, eyeing the few assistants in the van, and immediately caused several of them to shiver in alarm.

The assistant who had been with Sun Qian the longest hurriedly spoke up, "We went to inquire about Mr. Pei’s matters at the neighboring film crew. We just heard that Mr. Pei seemed to have returned to filming, so we went to find out."

Sure enough, upon hearing Pei Huai’s name, Sun Qian’s expression visibly improved.

Her eyebrows lifted a little as she looked at the assistant and said, "Will Pei Huai come to the set later?"

She was about to shoot a drowning scene with Lu Zhaozhao, and if Pei Huai saw her deliberately bullying her, he might hold it against Sun Qian and tattle.

That woman was so scheming, Sun Qian couldn’t afford not to be cautious.

The assistant was also a bit dumbfounded, for who could know whether Pei Huai would come to the set or not?

But she dared not say that.

Her eyes darted around, thinking that whenever Lu Zhaozhao was on set, Xia Wenyan would always come, and Pei Huai was inseparable from Xia Wenyan, so they should come, right?

The assistant swallowed nervously, cautiously saying, "They should come, after all, Lu Zhaozhao has already returned to the set, and if brother Xia Wen comes, Mr. Pei should also come along."

"What do you mean ’should’? I want a precise answer!" Sun Qian, dissatisfied, swept another cup to the ground.

Luckily, there was no water left in the cup, so it only crashed onto the floor of the nanny van.

Frightened, the assistant shrank back and quickly said, "Then, then I’ll have someone keep watch at the neighboring film crew, and if Mr. Pei comes, we can know immediately."

Sun Qian only then nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, hurry and arrange it, don’t linger here and be an eyesore."

With a wave of her hand, she shooed the assistants off the van.

Outside was a frozen tundra, nowhere near as warm as inside the van.

But to stay in the van with Sun Qian, a veritable she-devil, they’d rather suffer the cold outside, at least it spared them constant anxiety and dread.

Shortly after the assistants left the van, they each received tasks and dispersed to various parts of the set.

After all, Sun Qian only ever acted gentle and kind when Pei Huai was around.

When Lu Zhaozhao was previously on the set, Pei Huai had come almost every day, and they too had enjoyed a stretch of good days.

If it hadn’t been for Lu Zhaozhao falling ill and Pei Huai staying away at the neighboring set, their lives wouldn’t have been so tough.

Fortunately, now that Lu Zhaozhao had recovered and returned to the set, they were thanking their lucky stars!

Half an hour later, the crew had finished preparing the "pond" onsite.

Due to it being deep winter, ice had formed on the water pool before, but with the temperature increasing around noon, the crew had managed to deal with the ice on the "pond," and the water inside had been processed.

They had initially wanted to add warm water to the "pond," but the temperature difference between the water and the air was too high, causing steam to constantly rise in front of the camera.

The crew had no choice but to add more cold water.

Although it wasn’t as bone-chilling as ice water, in this weather, tumbling around in cold water definitely wasn’t something the average person could endure.

These crew members, who had been on sets for a long time, had seen all kinds of things, and it was clear to them that this was a high-status actor bullying a lower-status one, but it remained to be seen whether the actor in question could withstand it...
