Chapter 676: He Has It Worse
Ever since Cloud Seven’s debut, he had become the hottest screenwriter in showbiz. The screenwriter did not have a Weibo account, much less ever post on social media. Fans had to comment and private message the production team’s official handle to pass any message.
This was Screenwriter Cloud Seven’s first registered Weibo account and first post. The post dictated that he would be holding a press conference at 2:00 PM on Sunday, which would be two days later. He would be addressing the recent doubts and questions that netizens had about Lady Luck.
Screenwriter Cloud Seven posted on Weibo at the height of Su Yi and Li Jingran’s scandal. It did not cause much of a stir then because all eyes were on Su Yi and Li Jingran.
However, the insiders, media, cast, director, and writers were eagerly waiting to put a face to Screenwriter Cloud Seven’s name.
Many were aware that Screenwriter Cloud Seven was going to address Su Ruowan’s fate as the supporting actress. She had been the center of controversy since the audition day.
While discussing Screenwriter Cloud Seven, the cast and production crew would from time to time steal a glance at Su Ruowan, who was memorizing her lines alone in a corner.
After the dirt on Li Jingran and Su Yi broke out, and Su Ruowan’s post to clarify her relationship with the Su family, there had been tension on set. The people stopped talking to Su Ruowan, not even engaging in small talks.
Su Ruowan memorized her lines and picked up her phone to check the latest gossip, hoping to read that the Su family was done for. Yet, nothing. She started to worry and be scared.
What was going on with Shen Xi? Su Ruowan believed that Shen Xi, the b*tch, had something to do with the Su family’s downfall. The b*tch should be delivering a crushing defeat by now so the Su family could not get back on their feet.
No one knew better than her how much Shen Xi hated the Su family. If Su Ruowan was in Shen Xi’s shoes, she would finish the family off and be done with it.
Nevertheless, Shen Xi did nothing of that sort. Apart from the news of the Su family’s bankruptcy, seizure of assets, and loss of home, Su Ruowan did not find the good news she was waiting for, such as the death of the Su family.
The Su family must hate her guts now that she had betrayed them. Su Ruowan would be going down if they were not dead. The Su family was not going to let it slide and would be coming for her.
Back in the writer’s room, Shen Xi observed everything on set through cameras. She curled her lips with intrigue when Su Ruowan came on her screen.
She gave Su Yi 100 thousand yuan. With the money in hand, who among the Su family would be getting even with Su Ruowan? Su Muxuan, Su Muyan, or Su Mushi? Well, it was about to get rough for Su Ruowan regardless of who was coming over.
The door to the writer’s room was suddenly pushed open.
Turning over, Shen Xi let out a bright smile and cheerfully ran over to hug the person. She softly mewed, “Brother.’
Li Yuan responded to her call. Holding a cup of bubble tea, he smiled at her. “Has the filming started?”
Instead of grabbing the bubble tea, Shen Xi reached out to remove his sunglasses and saw the bruising on his left eye. Pulling a sour face, she eerily uttered, “Who did it?”
“I went to meet with Fu Qingli.” Li Yuan extended his arm to seize the girl from touching his eye. He soothed her with a smile, “It’s fine.”
Furrowing the brows of her grimacing face, Shen Xi put down the bubble tea without a word. She told Kun Lun to buy some boiled eggs as there was nothing to ease the swelling in the equipment-filled writer’s room.
Kun Lun soon returned with a few piping hot eggs. Without another look at the pair in the room, he took off to give them space. He knew when his presence was not wanted.
Half an hour ago, Boss went to get bubble tea for Ms. Shen. While out and about, he ran into Fu Qingli’s assistant, Xu Xu, and went with the latter to the tea house across the road.
By the time Boss came out, he was with a black eye. Needless to say, he had a fight with someone, and that someone was Fu Qingli.
Boss had a physical altercation and was hit in the face. Kun Lun never thought he would see this day come. However, he did not have the nerve to say or ask about it.
Shen Xi waited until Kun Lun went out and closed the door behind him before pressing Li Yuan down by the shoulder to lie down on the sofa. Putting on a straight face, she looked at him. “Close your eyes.”
The age of these two men added together was half a century old, yet Li Yuan and Fu Qingli got into a fight. Sure, they fought, but why did it have to be on the face? Shen Xi’s heart was aching.
Li Yuan knew that his fair lady was mad. The girl said nothing except begrudgingly asking the person behind it since he stepped into the room. Despite Li Yuan’s intentions to explain, the girl shot him an angry look. Li Yuan listened to her order and closed his eyes. It took a while before he said, “He has it worse.”
His smug tone caught Shen Xi in stitches. “Attaboy!”
Was he a child? She told him that she wanted to beat Fu Qingli up because she was upset. To think Li Yuan actually pulled a punch because of a passing remark.
Li Yuan gasped in pain to gain sympathy. Narrowing his right eye, he stared at the girl and aggrievedly muttered, “Are you feeling sorry for him?”
Although grinding her teeth, Shen Xi went soft on him. Still, she was annoyed. “You can’t even beat him in a fight.”
Li Yuan smiled, knowing the girl was not feeling sorry for Fu Qingli but him. He promised her. “I’ll try not to get hurt next time.”
Shen Xi frowned. “Who started it?”
Li Yuan replied, “We went at it at the same time.”
He kept in mind to beat Fu Qingli up if he ever saw the latter. To his surprise, Fu Qingli shared the same thought. Otherwise, Li Yuan would not be caught off guard by the punch.
Fu Qingli was no match to him when it came to fighting.
Shen Xi was curious. “You guys had the same idea, huh?”
Although Li Yuan did mention giving Fu Qingli a good whack, Shen Xi was surprised he actually did it. Nevertheless, why did Fu Qingli do the same?
Li Yuan uttered, “He knows I spent the night in your room last night.”
Shen Xi furrowed her brows. “Has he been watching me?”
Did Fu Qingli not have better things to do? He should be using the time to pursue the mastermind instead.
“To protect you.” Li Yuan was not taking Fu Qingli’s side.. He merely stated the facts as it was beneath him to lie or conceal the truth from her.
