Chapter 167 Is there anyone who can testify for you?
"Come on, come on!" Lu Yining was in high spirits. She walked to a slightly more secluded place, and then switched her mood in a second.
Before getting into character, she was full of energy; after getting into character, she remained lively but also seemed a bit nervous and insecure.
Shen Zhuxin skipped and hopped straight ahead, but upon closer inspection, one could see that her steps were somewhat clumsy and slow, as if she had something on her mind.
She appeared to be looking straight ahead, but her eyes were actually darting to the left and then to the right, making her look furtive and restless.
"Where is Miss Shen going so late at night?" A man emerged from the shadows, his arms crossed, his deep eyes filled with coldness, as he approached her step by step.
He was wearing a bright red outfit. Generally speaking, most people can't pull off this kind of flamboyant red. When people wear this color, they either look effeminate or look out of place.
But He Ziyuan was able to handle it.
Moreover, he handled it very well, which highlighted his allure and gave it a unique charm.
The sudden sound startled Shen Zhuxin, who jumped back in surprise and looked towards the source of the noise. Upon seeing that it was He Ziyuan, her fingers unconsciously tightened around her dress, and she felt a surge of tension.
She struggled to calm herself before feigning composure and saying, "Oh, out for a walk? What's up? Young Master He, you seem to have plenty of free time? You enjoy taking walks at night?"
As she spoke, He Ziyuan had already walked up to her and stood still. He squinted, as if trying to discern the truth or falsehood in her words. After a while, his thin lips curled up, exuding endless danger, and a dark mist filled the depths of his eyes.
“I am just a rough man, unlike Miss Shen who has such leisure and elegance. However, there is something I don’t understand, and I hope Miss Shen can enlighten me.”
"No problem, no problem," Shen Zhuxin laughed it off, but inwardly she began to feel terrified.
The calmer the man in front of her appeared, the more insane he was inside. She had to be on her guard!
"I would like to ask, where were you nine days ago, the day my elder sister went to lure away the tree demon?"
He stared intently into her eyes, his gaze swirling with unspoken emotions.
"what?"
Shen Zhuxin tilted her head slightly, her brows furrowing gently. She seemed to be recalling something, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes. After a long while, she seemed to remember something and clapped her hands together.
"I remember now! That day I was helping my dad make a kite. After we finished making the kite, we took it out and flew it. The kite flew so high and so far!"
He Ziyuan kept his eyes fixed on her, even though her expression seemed normal. He leaned forward, closing the distance between them, his eyes revealing an even more ruthless and violent glint.
"Is there anyone who can testify for you?"
As He Ziyuan leaned forward, Shen Zhuxin's body gradually leaned backward.
Upon hearing He Ziyuan's words, she retorted, "Yes, the servants in the manor can all testify for me. If you don't believe me, go ask them. Would I lie? What good would it do me to lie to you..."
After saying that, Shen Zhuxin rolled her eyes at him.
He Ziyuan stepped back slightly, looking at her coldly, his murderous aura emanating from him like a thousand sharp blades: "You'd better be telling the truth. If there's even the slightest deception, I will kill you on the spot."
"Mmm-hmm-hmm." Shen Zhuxin nodded frantically.
We’ll talk about the rest later.
Besides, she really didn't lie to him. That day, the original Shen Zhuxin was indeed making a kite with her father, and they did fly the kite. Everyone in the mansion saw it, so she wasn't afraid of him investigating.
He Ziyuan sneered, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Zhuxin's chin, warning, "You'd better not try anything funny."
In the exchange of glances, she could clearly see the murderous intent in the other person's eyes, as if they were about to kill her at any moment.
Shen Zhuxin stood there, staring at him, without saying a word.
As if he found it dirty, the other person only touched her for a moment before withdrawing his hand and turning away.
……
"Clap clap-"
As soon as Lu Yining and Ji Shiyan finished their scene, applause began to ring out from all around.
"Good! Not bad! That was a good performance. The only regret is that your outfits don't match, especially yours." Director Liu pointed at Ji Shiyan, "They don't match at all! Otherwise, I would have filmed that scene today for comparison!"
After saying that, Director Liu glanced at Ji Shiyan with disdain and pursed his lips.
It's unclear where Ji Shiyan got this large red cloth from, but he unfolded it and wrapped it around himself. Although with Ji Shiyan's looks, he could even look good in a burlap sack, this tattered red cloth... really was a waste of his face...
"Yi Ning, Shi Yan, your performance just now was so good and wonderful!" Jiang Xinghe leaned closer to the two of them, his eyes glistening like a puppy with its eyes wide open.
“You’re not bad either,” Lu Yining replied with a smile. She was speaking from the heart. She had acted with Jiang Xinghe before, and she had witnessed his acting skills and strength firsthand.
They are no worse than them.
Everyone in the room was all smiles, showering each other with compliments and exaggerations, chatting happily, except for Lu Yunjie, who couldn't manage a smile...
How could he possibly laugh?!
Green Tea Yan just touched Ningning's face!
Although it was part of the plot, he was absolutely certain that Green Tea Yan was filled with anticipation just a moment ago!
Ugh! I'm so annoyed!
He immediately pulled out his phone, found his mother's chat window, and quickly typed: "Mom! There's a guy on our set who's eyeing my Ningning! And the worst part is, Ningning's also attracted to his good looks! We desperately need backup! Over, over!"
After the message was sent, there was no reply from the other party for a long time.
Even though Lu Yunjie was practically glued to his phone, Mu Linglan still didn't reply to his messages.
He sighed. "Mom, where have you been? This is an emergency! We need to deal with this immediately; there's no time to lose!"
Meanwhile, Mu Linglan, thousands of miles away, was happily shopping, completely ignoring the ringing of her phone in her bag.
"This is nice, please wrap it up for me."
"This purple one looks quite suitable for Ningning, please wrap this one up for me too."
"This design is quite novel." Mu Linglan waved her hand: "Wrap it up!"
……
"Cheers~"
Inside a private room at the restaurant, the actors of "Walking Through the Stars and Moon" gathered together, chatting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.
