Chapter 74 - Punishment

“Nonsense!”

Yin Yue’s eyes flickered and she refused to admit it. “What evidence do you have?”

She had already taken away the wine bottles and wine glasses in advance. No one could find any evidence.

Master Xu was speechless. “I… I…”

“What do you mean by you?!”

Yin Yue simply retorted, “A few days ago, Jiang Zhi said on-set that the props you made were crude. Maybe you have a grudge against her!”

Master Xu was slandered by her and his face flushed red. He shouted in a hoarse voice, “Why would I endanger her life over such a small matter! I know better than anyone else how serious the consequences would be if any of the safety devices were compromised!”

Yin Yue crossed her arms and laughed lightly, ignoring his words. “People’s hearts are hard to predict. Who could say for sure?”

The production team saw that they were pointing fingers at each other, but they did not have any conclusive evidence. They could only maintain their original decision and fire Master Xu.

Yin Yue looked at Master Xu, who had packed his backpack and left in a car. She let out a sigh of relief and a trace of triumph flashed across her eyes.

However, when she thought about how Jiang Zhi was only shaken and had not suffered any severe injuries, Yin Yue clenched her fists disgruntledly. She was furious at her outrageous luck!

She did not know that Lu Mian had been watching.

Lu Mian sat in the room and glanced at Yin Yue with a dark expression.

…

Late at night, a heavy-duty SUV drove into the set.

The hotel room was filled with the scent of alluring perfume. Yin Yue used her fingertips to tease the edges of her sleeping robe that had slid down to her chest. Her eyes were seductive.

She was waiting for her sponsor, Zhang He. Although she was a little curious as to why he had come to find her in the middle of the night, she was excited.

It must be because he had missed her charm too much, wasn’t it?

Bang!

Zhang He pushed the door open and stomped in with fury. He threw his coat onto the sofa, sat down, and raised his head to drink two mouthfuls of strong liquor.

Yin Yue found it strange, so she went up to him in a flattering manner. She wrapped her arms around Zhang He’s shoulders from behind, stirring up his desire restlessly. She muttered, “Bad guy! Why didn’t you inform me in advance when you came to visit the set? Recently, the condition of your skin has not been very good!”

“Get lost!”

Zhang He frowned and held her wrist in disgust as he forcefully threw Yin Yue to the ground.

Slap!

Before Yin Yue could figure out what had happened, she received a heavy slap on her face!

She covered her face and looked at Zhang He in disbelief as she asked, “What did I do wrong? I only called for your help!”

She was filled with anger and her eyes were filled with tears, but she did not dare to say anything else.

Zhang He rolled up his sleeves and pointed at Yin Yue as he scolded, “If it’s not your fault, then whose fault is it?! You better behave yourself in the production team! Don’t always cause trouble for me!

“Do you know how much money I lost because of you? Can you afford to pay for it?”

Yin Yue was at a loss and could not understand what he was saying.

It turned out that today, the Zhang He group, which was originally in the middle of negotiating a few cases, had received a notice of refusal to cooperate.

This caused his group’s cash flow to encounter problems. Zhang He had to pull some strings and finally found a company’s senior leader to ask for some insider information.

“The cancellation of the cooperation was personally ordered by the chairman. He said that your little lover, Yin Yue, offended someone she shouldn’t have offended.

“You should control her and make her behave more carefully outside.”

After the other party got drunk, she vaguely reminded him.

Zhang He thought about it for a bit and immediately figured something out.

Yin Yue had only made a ruckus with Jiang Zhi on the set. This must be related to Jiang Zhi!

After he thought it through, he drove hundreds of kilometers to the grassland just to find a way to make up for it!

Zhang He pointed at Yin Yue. “Tomorrow, I’ll take you to apologize to Jiang Zhi. If you don’t act sensibly, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

The next morning, Jiang Zhi was a little surprised to see Zhang He on set.

Zhang He had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Jiang Zhi, he immediately went up to her. He nervously stroked his hair and buttoned up his suit. With a fawning expression, he carried a few boxes of nutritional supplements and expensive gifts.

“Miss Jiang, you must have worked hard on the set. It’s just a token of my appreciation. I hope you won’t refuse!

“If there’s anything that our production team needs, just let me know!

“As long as I can do it, I’ll definitely do my best! I hope you can put in a good word for me and leave me a way out. As for Yin Yue, I’ve already taught her a lesson!

“Yin Yue! Come here and apologize to Miss Jiang!”

Zhang He’s strange behavior made Director Zheng stare at Yin Yue in confusion.

Yin Yue’s face looked as if it was dripping blood. She bit her red lips in embarrassment. “I’m sorry.”

Jiang Zhi did not quite understand. “Did you… make a mistake?”

“I didn’t make any mistakes.”

Lu Mian came out of the dressing room. Seeing this scene, the corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile. “It’s probably because you did something you don’t know about. You feel guilty, right, Miss Yin?”

Yin Yue: “…”

She glared angrily at Jiang Zhi and Lu Mian. The next second, Zhang He forced her head down and together, they bowed.

Yin Yue had relied on Zhang He for her entire life. She did not dare to refute or disobey Zhang He’s humiliating behavior. She lowered her eyes and gritted her teeth.
