Chapter 90: What Goes Around Comes Around (1/2)

With a “plak” sound, the heel on her seven inch stilettos broke.

Dou Yixin originally only planned on taking one step back, but ended up falling backwards with a sharp cry. She landed in an extremely comical posture on the floor.

“Yixin!” The closest assistant rushed over to support her.

“What happened?”

“Oh, Miss Dou. Are you okay, Miss Dou?”

The scene descended into chaos.

Dou Yixin did not get up. She sluggishly leaned on her assistant for a few seconds, her pretty eyes resentfully looking toward Yan Jin.

Yan Jin didn’t even spare her a glance. His entire focus was on the hamster who was scared silly in his palm.

Xiao Yu really was scared silly. Just now, he only wanted to push Dou Yixin away because he was momentarily muddle headed. With his strength being so weak, how was he able to push a person to the ground?

“Fishy, are you feeling sick?” Yan Jin raised Xiao Yu up a bit: “I heard you sneeze earlier.”

“Squeakk.” It wasn’t my fault. She fell on her own.

“Oh, you’re no longer calling her a goddess?” King Yan Jin was happy, so he took a melon seed out of his pocket and put it into Xiao Yu’s paws.

“Squeakk!” You’re still making fun of me at a time like this!

The hamster curled up into a ball in the middle of his palm. Even his fur looked gloomier, making him seem wronged and hurt.

Xiao Yu’s pitiful appearance made Yan Jin’s heart ache. He was so used to seeing the little guy with an arrogant and domineering attitude, that Yan Jin could not stand seeing Xiao Yu shivering in a little ball.

“Fishy, what is it? Where do you feel uncomfortable?” Yan Jin rushed to comfort him.

“Squeakkk.” Quickly go… Quickly go and see.

Xiao Yu’s eyes had turned red and his voice even carried a hint of sobbing.

Dou Yixin was still sitting on the floor, unable to get up. Nothing was wrong with her, right? Every part of an actress’s body was worth money. If he caused her to get hurt, he wouldn’t be able to compensate her even if he sold himself.

What should he do? He caused such a big disaster, squeak.

Obviously, Xiao Yu wanted to cry because he was afraid of getting into trouble. But from Yan Jin’s perspective, he came to a different conclusion after seeing Xiao Yu’s reaction.

How dare she make his Fishy feel this unhappy? Dou Yixin, well done.

Yan Jin’s gaze landed on Dou Yixin, who thought that she was sitting elegantly on the floor.

This was his little treasure that he was reluctant to bump even with a fingertip. How could he let another person come out of nowhere and bully his precious?

The scene was in a mess. Many people reached out to help Dou Yixin up, but she wouldn’t get off the floor. Her gaze inadvertently landed on Yan Jin as she waited for him to reach out a hand to help her up. But seeing that the other party had no reaction after a long time, Dou Yixin began to feel that something was odd.

“Yixin, nothing’s wrong right?” The assistant lowered her head to look at Dou Yixin’s ankle. Then, after receiving the signal in Dou Yixin’s eyes, she cried out: “It looks a bit swollen. That little animal really should be more careful!”

“It’s fine. Chairman Yan’s hamster didn’t do it on purpose. The little guy was just playing with me.” Dou Yixin explained to the crowd that came to comfort her: “How could I blame Chairman Yan?”

“Oh, it hurts. I can’t get up.” Dou Yixin tried to move her leg, before saying with reddened eyes: “It really hurts. Chairman Yan, can you help pull Yixin up?”

“Miss Dou.” Yan Jin finally opened his mouth, but what came out was completely different from what Dou Yixin was expecting:

“It looks like Fishy doesn’t like you, so Miss Dou does not need to be in this commercial.”

Everyone became silent.

Dou Yixin thought that she might have had an auditory hallucination. Shouldn’t Yan Jin try to comfort her? Didn’t Yan Jin have feelings for her? Why… why was Yan Jin asking her to leave the film crew?

She was shocked. She thought that she must have heard wrong. But when she looked at the assistant by her side and at the people around her, she could see that some looked as stunned as she was, while others had schadenfreude expressions on their faces—

Her shock turned into panic.

Why? Why wasn’t anyone saying anything in her defense? She was the victim here!

The first person to break the silence was Shao Yue. When he saw Dou Yixin’s disbelieving expression, like she suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, he laughed.

This wasn’t a soft scoff either, but a full belly laugh.

The sound attracted the crowd’s attention and they all looked toward Shao Yue.

“Hey, well said, well said.” Shao Yue even started clapping: “The mouse from before was so dedicated to his role, but Miss Dou was able to kick it out with merely one sentence by saying that it was scary. Now this is what you call what goes around comes around.”

Shao Yue still thought it was unfair for the little mouse to be shooed away. Of course, the main reason was because he disliked Dou Yixin. Ever since the first day of filming, he found this retarded actress who kept claiming to know Yan Jin especially disgusting.

What made him really angry was that when he went to inform Yan Jin of the situation, the chairman left him behind at the office and went home early.

Now, being able to see Yan Jin so furious and Dou Yixin out of luck, Shao Yue couldn’t help but feel like he profited big this time.

In this matter, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration for him to call himself the winner.

“You!” Dou Yixin viciously glared at Shao Yue, hating that she couldn’t skin him alive and swallow him whole.

“Director Du, can we start filming now? Fishy can’t wait any longer.” Yan Jin said coldly.

Director Du apprehensively took two steps forward, wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead. Then, he spoke softly: “Chairman Yan, it was very difficult for my company to invite Miss Dou for this commercial. N-now you want to replace her. It wouldn’t be good to break the contract…”

Although he said that his company invited her, the truth was that this was something Dou Yixin’s sponsor had arranged. There were many stars that relied on their background support to be arrogant, but not many became as arrogant as Dou Yixin. Over these past few days, Dou Yixin offended practically everyone on the film crew. The director didn’t want to speak up for her, but he was a bit worried about the fee to terminate her contract and about the reaction from the sponsor supporting Dou Yixin from behind.
