Jiang Li was so pestered by Wang Jingruo that she simply stayed at home for two days and didn't go to the set.

So, naturally, she missed out on the big events on the set.

Jiang Li had caused such a big rumor several times when she went to Qin Sisi's crew, let alone in Li Mubai's crew.

Wang Jingruo came more often, and many rumors spread privately. Seeing that Jiang Li was not there that day, everyone chatted more unscrupulously.

What they said were very unpleasant. They even made up stories about her sleeping on Li Mubai's bed in the morning and climbing into Wang Jingruo's bed at night.

Unfortunately, walls have ears, and the two women were whispering in private, thinking that no one knew, but they were heard by Li Mubai who happened to pass by.

Li Mubai suddenly came out from behind the rockery and asked casually, "I didn't hear what you said just now. Say it again."

Li Mubai's words sounded calm, but the two girls who were gossiping suddenly jumped in fright. When they looked at Li Mubai, their eyes flickered and they held their breath nervously.

"No...nothing..."

Li Mubai looked at the two girls expressionlessly. After a while, he spoke slowly but forcefully, "Really? Since you didn't say anything, don't say anything in the future. I don't want to hear it again."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li..."

Li Mubai looked at them and suddenly lowered his voice, "It's not me you should say sorry to, but the person who was slandered."

"The last thing we need on the set is people who gossip. If I find out about you doing that next time, you should change your job."

Li Mubai couldn't stand others talking about Jiang Li's faults in front of him, and he couldn't tolerate a single word. If they weren't two young girls who were ignorant of the world, Li Mubai wouldn't be so easy-going.

Li Mubai was a gentleman and did not do anything to them, but this scene of Li Mubai's reminder was heard by Wang Jingruo who came to follow them.

Hearing this, his face turned pale.

He was a playboy, and had heard a lot of dirty talk since he was a child. But he could hear it, but when it came to people like him, he couldn't tolerate a single word of it.

Wang Jingruo waved to the bodyguards behind him and said coldly: "I think they are too idle. Let them know whose tongue can be chewed and whose tongue cannot be chewed."

When Jiang Li returned to the crew to work two days later, she found that many staff members looked haggard and had hoarse voices. When they met Jiang Li, they didn't even dare to look at her. As soon as they saw her, they lowered their heads and quickly walked away, which made her very puzzled.

What's wrong with these people? Why are they all so weird?

What Jiang Li didn't know was that after get off work that day, Wang Jingruo sent people to arrest all those who had gossiped about Jiang Li. In fact, these people were not difficult to arrest. People who gathered together to gossip about others didn't have much revolutionary friendship. With a little intimidation, they would confess what everyone had said.

After arresting them all, Wang Jingruo did not beat them or scold them. He only let them chant the mantra for eight hours before releasing them. They were not given food or water during this time. Their throats were smoking from chanting and their throats were so painful that they felt like they were being cut by a knife. However, they had no saliva to swallow. But they did not dare to stop. Although the bodyguards did not do anything, there were a bunch of terrible torture instruments behind them. If they did not chant, they might even lose their tongues.

After finishing the recitation, Wang Jingruo warned again lightly that if this matter got out, next time it would not be as simple as reciting the sutra. How much more difficult it would be next time, no one really wanted to experience it.

Many people wanted to ask for leave to hide for a few days, but Wang Jingruo wouldn't let them and told them all to go back to work and emphasize their dedication to their jobs.

At this time, Gu Zhen's assistant was feeling thankful.

Fortunately, Gu Zhen repeatedly warned her not to gossip with others in the theater, otherwise, she would be the only one who became mute!

While Jiang Li and Wang Jingruo were engaged in a guerrilla war of chase and escape, on the other hand, the relationship between Li Xingmu and Qin Sisi was steadily developing and improving.

With Qin Sisi's care and concern, Li Xingmu's hand injury healed quickly. But maybe it was because of excessive joy that led to sorrow. Within two days, Li Xingmu caught a cold and had a fever after performing a few scenes in the river.

Li Xingmu had a scene today. Usually he arrived early and was never late. But for some reason, he was nowhere to be seen today.

Qin Sisi thought he was delayed by something until she heard the assistant director chatting with someone else, then she realized that Li Xingmu was sick.

In the evening, Qin Sisi returned home and looked at the phone for a long time. The paper in her hand was damp from being squeezed by her, but she still couldn't decide whether to make the call.

On the crumpled piece of paper in her hand was Li Xingmu's home phone number, which Li Xingmu had left for her before.

After all, we are colleagues. It’s normal to call and express condolences when someone is sick!

It's just an ordinary call of condolence, you shouldn't have so much psychological burden.

Qin Sisi persuaded herself for a long time and hesitated for more than ten minutes. Finally, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number.

"5-1-3..."

The phone number was correct and it was actually dialed, but when Qin Sisi heard the beep, she hung up the phone in a panic.

Nervous, really nervous!

Qin Sisi, why are you so cowardly!

It’s just a call to express condolences!

How can you be so cowardly!

Qin Sisi thought for a moment, bit her lip, and picked up the phone again.

Just call once, and if no one answers, forget it.

As the phone rang, Qin Sisi felt more and more guilty. Just as she was about to hang up, a hoarse and low "Hello" came from the other end of the phone.

Qin Sisi felt her heart was beating out of her chest, and she accidentally hung up the phone in a panic. Just as she was feeling frustrated, she heard a beep and the phone rang.

Qin Sisi hesitated for two seconds and picked up the microphone.

"Hey?"

"Is it Sisi?"

It was Li Xingmu's voice on the other end of the phone.

Qin Sisi was a little nervous and expectant at the same time, "How...how did you know it was me?"

Li Xingmu laughed deeply from the other end of the line, but he started coughing violently after only two laughs. After coughing for a long time, he continued, "You were sneaking around, and I knew it was you."

"Oh."

Qin Sisi was a little embarrassed. She responded softly and then didn't know what to say.

Li Xingmu was laughing quietly, and no one knew what he was laughing at. What she didn't know was that Li Xingmu had her home phone number for a long time, but he just didn't dare to call her. He knew Qin Sisi's home phone number by heart.

Qin Sisi's mind went blank for a few seconds before she remembered the purpose of calling today and asked quickly, "I heard you were sick, how are you now?"

"Not very good! I feel weak all over, can't eat, and can't sleep."

He had a rapid attack last night, but luckily he had a good health and he has recovered a lot now, but his voice is still a little hoarse. But when Qin Sisi called, he felt that he was seriously ill again. He coughed just now because he was too happy and his saliva went into his trachea when he laughed. But it was rare for Qin Sisi to call to care about him, so he decided to take advantage of the situation and speak in a breathy voice.

Sure enough, Qin Sisi took the bait, and her voice was filled with unconcealed worry.

"Ah! It's so serious!"

On the set I only heard that he had a cold, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Have you taken your medicine?"

"No. I've run out of medicine at home and no one is buying me some."

"Ah? What about your parents?"

"My parents...just happened to be traveling abroad a few days ago."

"what!"

Qin Sisi remained silent. From the way he spoke, it seemed that he was seriously ill. How could he get better without taking medicine?

His parents are out, so is there no one at home to cook for him?

So what does he eat?

Thinking of this, Qin Sisi blurted out: "Have you eaten yet?"

Li Xingmu suddenly coughed twice and said weakly, "I drank some porridge in the morning."

"I drank it this morning!"

It's almost dinner time now.

Qin Sisi felt inexplicably distressed, and her mouth was faster than her brain: "Do you need me to bring you some medicine?"

Qin Sisi regretted the moment she said it. It might not be nice to take the initiative like this, especially since they were a single man and a single woman after all.

"Thank you very much. My home is just... When you arrive, ring the doorbell and I'll come out to pick you up."

Qin Sisi: ...

Is it too late for her to regret?

Seeing that Qin Sisi didn't say anything for a long time, Li Xingmu asked weakly: "Sisi, are you there?"

"Oh! Yes! I'm here!"

"If it's inconvenient for you..." Li Xingmu suddenly coughed twice, as if his internal organs were about to come out. "If it's inconvenient for you, forget it."

How could Qin Sisi feel uncomfortable at this time? She quickly said, "It's convenient. It's convenient for me! Then wait a moment. I'll pack up and go out."

"Okay, okay, hurry up... Oh, I mean, take your time, don't rush."

After hanging up the phone, Li Xingmu's smile couldn't help but climb up to the corners of his eyes.

How to do how to do!

Li Xingmu was so excited that he didn't know what to do!

ready!

He needs to prepare well!

The house is too messy, we need to clean it up.

Also, my expression is not weak enough and my face is not pale enough. I need to adjust them.

When Qin Sisi rang the doorbell an hour and a half later, Li Xingmu hurriedly threw away the big ice cube that he had been applying to his lips and holding in his hand.

Here I come, here I come!

Sisi!

I am here to greet you even though I am seriously ill!
