"If I was Qian Qian, I would completely ignore you from now on. What rubbish."
"You better clean up your mess as soon as possible. If you don't, I'm going to claim Qian Qian as my daughter and kick you out of the family."
"..."
Was this something that a mother would say?
Others would probably question the scene that was playing out in front of them, but Li Jin simply smiled to himself in secret. This was because his mother had developed a particular liking towards Lin Qian. It seemed, this would make up for the pain and trauma that Lin Qian had experienced growing up.
Afterwards, Li Jin put down the phone in his hand. Of course, the meeting wasn't anything serious. Otherwise, he couldn't have possibly talked on the phone.
But, after his phone call, his gaze turned a lot colder.
"Major General, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Continue," Li Jin instructed. After quite some time, the meeting ended and everyone began to leave.
But, as he watched Han Xiao leave, Li Jin couldn't help but ask the subordinate beside him, "What's your opinion of Han Xiao?"
"She's a good girl," the subordinate replied. "Major General, Han Xiao has been reporting to this base for many years. Her personality is clear to see."
"Not necessarily, some people are good at hiding their true selves," Li Jin said with a deeper meaning. He then lifted his head and asked another question, "If a woman that has a crush on you, goes to look for your girlfriend behind your back and deliberately says things to cause a misunderstanding, what are your thoughts regarding that?"
"I hate women that play tricks. I may not hit a woman, but I would definitely stay away from someone like that," the subordinate replied swiftly. But, a moment later, he quickly realized that the woman they were talking about was Han Xiao, "It couldn't be..."
Li Jin looked at the man with deep meaning, but he did not say a word.
"Oh God, I never thought that she'd be like that," the subordinate felt chills down his spine.
Not only was Han Xiao's method quite sinister, for a woman to do something like that, meant that they were extremely shrewd.
"Did Han Xiao go to look for sister-in-law? Does that mean sister-in-law has a misunderstanding? Major General, why are you still sitting here? Go and explain yourself!"
Li Jin did not move from his seat. Instead, he said to his subordinate, "I have a mission for you tomorrow."
...
At this time, Mo Ting was still on set. After completing his shoots, he generally drove straight home without any intention to stick around.
But, Cate was injured that night because she hit her knee cap during a fight scene that they shared.
As long as Mo Ting was a man, Cate expected him to at least show some concern. But, Cate was, of course, disappointed.
Because Mo Ting ended up telling Qiao Sen to call for the medical team. He wasn't about to let anyone stop him from going home.
"Don't you know how to be a gentleman? I got hurt because of you. Don't you feel guilty at all?"
"I don't think you got hurt because of me. I think you got hurt because you were trying to attract my attention," Mo Ting replied in front of everyone. "You asked for it."
"Cate, I suggest you stop wasting your time on me. I'm finding it harder and harder to tolerate you. If you still want to continue shooting 'The Ant Queen', you should focus your mind on the film. Otherwise, I will directly send you home."
"Also, please don't do something stupid like this again. You're delaying me from going home."
Mo Ting's words were so direct that they completely exposed Cate's hidden motive.
Because Cate's position in the cast wasn't set in stone yet, even Qiao Sen couldn't contain his anger. So, he knelt down and said to her, "If you're just here to act, I think I could tolerate you for a few days, but..."
