After touching up her makeup, Tang Xiaoxiao headed towards the shooting scene.

At this moment, Jiang Ling’er and Li Yu hurriedly moved aside to avoid causing any obstruction.

As Tang Xiaoxiao was about to get close to the two, she shouted and fell toward Li Yu.

Without hesitation, Li Yu swiftly held onto Jiang Ling’er and decisively dodged Tang Xiaoxiao.

Tang Xiaoxiao was also afraid of missing, so she was especially careful. Even so, she still couldn’t stabilize her center of gravity.

Thankfully, the crew members nearby reacted quickly, immediately supporting Tang Xiaoxiao, and preventing her from falling.

The director was startled too and asked, “Xiaoxiao, are you okay?”

After regaining her composure, Tang Xiaoxiao shook her head immediately and then looked at Li Yu.

Tang Xiaoxiao was somewhat angry and said, “Why didn’t you help me?”

Li Yu replied coldly, “You suddenly lunged toward my lady. You should consider yourself fortunate that I didn’t kick you away. You actually expect me to help you?”

Jiang Ling’er raised an eyebrow. Tang Xiaoxiao probably intended to fall into Li Yu’s arms, but how could Li Yu allow that?

So, Li Yu avoided her. But if Li Yu had evaded alone, Tang Xiaoxiao would have fallen onto Jiang Ling’er instead. Therefore, Li Yu held onto Jiang Ling’er and dodged.

Angrily, Tang Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “She’s a martial arts assistant; what harm could I do to her?”

Li Yu said coldly, “I’m responsible for protecting my lady. 1 must eliminate any danger to her.”

Tang Xiaoxiao shouted in anger, “Ah… Director, I refuse to shoot unless you get rid of those two!”

The director was so angry that he threw the script on the ground. Boss Niu was an investor, but Tang Xiaoxiao was a piece of trash that couldn’t even be considered as an A-lister. Even so, she was so much more arrogant than those A-listers.

Tang Xiaoxiao was shocked to see the director so angry.

Jiang Ling’er didn’t say anything. She just wanted to see how the director would handle this matter.

“Tang Xiaoxiao, is there something wrong with your leg?” The director said angrily. “You can’t even walk properly? And tell me, which law states that if you fall, others must help you up?”

Although Tang Xiaoxiao was shocked by the director, she was still confident since her sugar daddy was the one who funded this whole project.

Tang Xiaoxiao said, “There’s no such law. But I’m displeased with them. If they don’t leave today, I won’t shoot. Don’t think I’ll be scared just because you’re angry. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll have my godfather withdraw the investment. Let’s see how you complete the film then.”

The director turned to the assistant director and ordered, “Go, get me my phone.”

The assistant director quickly fetched the phone.

The director took the phone and immediately called Boss Niu.

After the call connected, the director said seriously, “Hello, Boss Niu. I’m the director. I’m sorry to disturb you again. Miss Tang is really difficult to please. If you don’t have another new female lead, there’s no need for us to arrange one; you can withdraw your investment.”

“Director, what’s going on?” Boss Niu asked in surprise. “Don’t you want to earn money?”

The director took a deep breath and said, “Boss Niu, everyone wants to earn money. I’m working so hard on this film, but it’s not all for money. I’ve been a director for so many years and seen so many artists. Tang Xiaoxiao’s behavior is unbearable. There’s no way for us to work with her. Though it’s hard to say, I can’t do anything now.”

After a moment of silence, Boss Niu said, “1 understand. I have a suitable female lead.”

The director said, “Good, if there’s a suitable one, please arrange for the new female lead as soon as possible. It’s too wasteful of time and money in the current situation; my crew is waiting for meals!”

Tang Xiaoxiao’s expression changed when she heard the director’s words. She quickly walked to the director’s side.

Tang Xiaoxiao said, “Director, can 1 have a word with my godfather?”

The director glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao and said, “Boss Niu, Miss Tang wants to talk to you.”

With that, the director handed the phone to Tang Xiaoxiao.

Holding the phone, Tang Xiaoxiao immediately said in a soft and gentle tone, “Godfather, it’s me, Xiaoxiao. It’s about…”

Before Tang Xiaoxiao could explain, Boss Niu’s angry voice came from the phone.

Frightened, Tang Xiaoxiao trembled and quickly begged, “Godfather, please don’t be angry, alright? I promise to do a good job from now on.. Can you please not replace me? I’ve been shooting for so long, if you change now, the money from earlier will be wasted, don’t you think so? Please, 1 beg you?”
