Chapter 7

The reporter’s words exploded and reverberated through the crowd like a grenade, raising doubts in many other hearts.

Even the director could not help but say, “Huanran, take off the veil.”

He had taken Su Huanran for this project, firstly because Heaven’s Entertainment Group had sponsored it generously, and secondly because Su Huanran had promised him during filming that she would never use any substitutes.

As an actress, she should stick to her principles. If she could not even express the proper emotions with her gaze, the director figured that he should consider changing his lead actress.

Su Jianxi acted extremely troubled, looking at Gao Wen helplessly.

However, even Gao Wen could not protect her now.

Su Jianxi had no choice. Under all those watchful gazes, she took off her veil.

In that instant, time froze.

The woman before them was not Su Huanran; only her eyes looked similar to Su Huanran’s.

Not only that, someone even recognized this woman. She was none other than Su Jianxi, who quit showbiz a few years back, right?

The director immediately smashed his phone to the ground in rage and left. At the same time, the reporter had filmed that earlier scene and ran away while he could.

The other members of the production team did not dare to say anything in front of Su Jianxi. Su Huanran, who was hiding in the dressing room and too afraid to come out, felt as though her head was spinning. She did not even have the guts to leave.

“It’s all your fault! You’ve cost Huanran dearly this time.”

Gao Wen vented all her frustrations on Su Jianxi and then hurried over to the dressing room.

Su Jianxi looked completely unaffected. After all, she had done this on purpose.

Of course, when she turned around to follow Gao Wen, she looked both upset and terrified.

When Su Jianxi returned to the dressing room, she heard Su Huanran calling Shen Siming in complete panic.

“Siming, what do I do? Everyone knows I used a double now, so what on earth should I do?”

Su Jianxi walked into the changing room and changed back into her clothes. Right now, she could not even be bothered to console Su Huanran.

When she emerged from the changing room, Su Huanran was nowhere to be seen in the dressing room.

Su Jianxi scoffed to herself softly. She could imagine just how Su Huanran was wailing her eyes out in Shen Siming’s embrace right now.

Just as she was about to leave, her phone rang.

It was an unknown number.

Su Jianxi accepted the call as she walked out.

“I’m waiting for you at the entrance. Come out, quick.”

A deep man’s voice spoke from the other end of the call. Su Jianxi recognized the caller immediately.

“You know where I am?” Su Jianxi was surprised.

“You’ll have your answer as soon as you come out here.” Li Tingxiao’s voice turned gentler.

Su Jianxi scoffed in disbelief.

However, she walked at a much brisker pace than usual, and when she reached the entrance, she saw a man in a suit.

Of course, it was none other than Li Tingxiao, the man who said he wanted to keep her.

Su Jianxi had seen and felt exactly how good Li Tingxiao’s figure was, but it was her first time seeing him in a suit.

The well-tailored suit made his tall stature look extremely straight and upright, and he had a natural air of calm, composed nobility.

Li Tingxiao had an aura of ruthlessness that shone from within, so even though he wore a suit, there was no hiding his regal presence.

"How do you know I’m here?” Su Jianxi glared at Li Tingxiao, her lively expression making her features look even more seductive.

Her foxy eyes were especially bright and breathtaking, as though they could suck away a man’s soul at any moment.

“Can we change the subject?” After he said that, Li Tingxiao took out a bank card and held it in front of Su Jianxi.

Su Jianxi narrowed her eyes. “What’s the meaning of this?”
