Chapter 271 - Just Rest If You Cant Move (1/2)

Chapter 271 Just Rest If You Can’t Move“Someone beat you to it?” Wan Qingsi questioned with a dark scowl on his face. Xiao Hua’s head hung low on her shoulders, not daring to make a sound.

She had failed her mission and had even allowed the mysterious woman to get the drop on her. At this point, she was pretty sure the young master would remove her from the young miss’ side.

“Young Master, I will go back to base to receive my punishment. But might I request that the punishment be delayed for a few days? I want to leave only when the young miss is better,” said Xiao Hua.

“You don’t have to return,” Wan Qingsi said. “Just put it on your tab for now.”

Relief and happiness coursed through Xiao Hua when she heard that. “Great! So I don’t have to leave the young miss’ side after all,” she thought. Then, she heard a cold voice. “There will be an interest rate applied to the punishment you owe.”

Xiao Hua curled her lips. “I knew it,” she thought. “I knew it’s impossible for the young master to be so lenient.” Xiao Hua raised her head. “Should I look into it?”

“Are you certain that the woman did something to her?”

“I’m positive. Tang Yue never even woke up when the woman and I were talking. I’m pretty sure the deed had already been done by then.” Xiao Hua paused in thought. “That woman is more skilled than I am.” It nearly killed Xiao Hua to admit it, but it was the truth. She had to let her young master know.

Wan Qingsi frowned. “Let’s wait first,” he said. “See what the newspapers have to say.”

The following day, the cast and crew had waited until 10 o’clock, and yet Tang Yue never showed. Instead, Tang Yue’s agent came running and told everyone that Tang Yue got into an accident. Once she had left the message, the agent left in a hurry.

“What do we do now, director?”

Lin Dong laughed and said, “Notify Chu Yi and tell him he doesn’t have to be on set this afternoon. As for us? It’s holiday time!”

Deep down, Lin Dong was expecting a change in the movie cast soon!

Meanwhile, Ah Sha was still in bed, snuggling under her blanket. Her face was still swollen, so returning home was definitely a bad idea. Besides, the weather was cloudy and overcast outside. It was the kind of weather that was perfect for sleeping in.

Ah Sha raised her arms above her head lazily and stretched. Then, she picked up the TV remote and pressed the power button. The TV screen flashed and was then showing footage of a large crowd gathering outside the hospital’s entrance. A Lincoln MKZ pulled up in front of the hospital and was soon surrounded by the crowd.

Ah Sha’s eyes brightened when she saw Xunxun stepping out of the car.

The man was like a regal emperor the moment he appeared. His one hundred and eighty centimeters tall frame and Dorito-shaped body could have people swooning in just under a second.

“As expected from my man!” Ah Sha thought, reaching for the bag of potato chips.

A series of crunching sound ensued.

On screen, those female reporters looked like they were cats who had just caught a glimpse of a fish.

“Good thing Xunxun is mine ever since he was young.”

Another bout of crunching sounded.

“President Wan, an actress that Stars Entertainment is representing was assaulted at home and was badly injured. What is your view regarding this matter?”

Ah Sha paused in her chewing and glared at the TV. “Since when is she badly injured? She just couldn’t move her arm, that’s all!”

The crunching continued.

Qi Xiu and a few other members of the security team shoved the group of reporters aside. Once a path was cleared, Wan Qingsi made his way into the hospital building.

“Ken, the Second Young Master of the Wen family just called. He demanded an explanation from us.”

Wan Qingsi’s steps came to a halt. He cold gaze swept sideways. “Explanation? It’s not like we’re his woman’s nannies. What right does he have to demand an explanation from us?”

Inside the hospital room, Tang Yue was sobbing quietly on the bed while her agent and assistant whispered words of comfort beside her. When Wan Qingsi entered the room, the assistant and agent quickly stood up and greeted him.

“Boss!”

“Senior!” Tang Yue raised her head, her eyes still red with tears. Even when crying and sobbing, she looked utterly lovable and endearing. Even Qi Xiu felt that this woman was truly blessed with good appearance; all she had to do was cry a little, and men would be eating right out of her palms.

Well, too bad his boss was not included among these men.

“You can’t move your arms?” Wan Qingsi asked. He knew what had happened to Tang Yue the moment he arrived at the hospital. Tang Yue could not move her arms and the doctors could not figure out why.

Tang Yue nodded. “I can’t move them ever since I woke up this morning. I don’t know what happened,” she said wretchedly. Then, she gave Wan Qingsi an apologetic glance. “I’m sorry to hinder the movie’s production.”

Tang Yue bit her lip and allowed her tears to fall.

Beside Tang Yue, her agent quickly jumped in. “Your health is more important right now,” said the agent. “Don’t worry about the movie for now.”

“I’m sure the boss will be happy to hear me say this!” Li Pingping thought inwardly. After all, Tang Yue and the boss had a complex relationship with each other.

“That’s right. You can forget all about the movie.”

“Bingo…” Li Pingping was just about to start smiling when Wan Qingsi spoke again. “You take your time and recuperate. We’ll just change the female lead.”

Other than Qi Xiu, the other three women in the room all froze.

“Bo… Boss?” Li Pingping thought she had heard it wrongly.

Wan Qingsi shot the agent a glance. “You have something to say about my decision?”

“… No, no.” Li Pingping shuddered and kept quiet after that.
