Chapter 716 - Untitled

“Xiaoguo, why are you so unhappy today?” At this moment, the crew members accompanied Chen Xiaoguo as they walked past Xia Wan Yuan.

“No, I’m not. I might be a little unwell. I’ll be fine in a while.” Chen Xiaoguo smiled at her colleague. Her eyes subconsciously drifted to Xia Wanyuan, and when she met her icy eyes, she was shocked and quickly retracted her gaze.

Xia Wanyuan was about to get up, but for some reason, she suddenly lay back down.

“My tea today is very delicious. You can try my tea leaves later.” Chen Xiaoguo held a cup in her hand and chatted with her colleagues about her new tea. When she walked to Xia Wanyuan’s side, she suddenly stepped on a rock. Her feet slipped and the cup in her hand was about to be poured at Xia Wanyuan. However, just as Chen Xiaoguo was about to throw it out, something hit her wrist and she lost her feeling in her hand. The cup in her hand fell down.

“AHHH!!” A miserable cry sounded.

The water from the cup landed directly on Chen Xiaoguo’s feet. It was summer and she was barefooted. The boiling water instantly scalded a layer of skin off her feet.

Chen Xiaoguo’s cry was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone in the production team. When they saw Chen Xiaoguo squatting on the ground and crying pitifully, the flesh on her feet became blurry and everyone was shocked. They quickly called for an ambulance.

“Miss Xia, you’re too much! Guo Guo is such a good girl. Even if you hate her, you can’t do this!”

“That’s right! People are made of flesh. Miss Xia, you’re so cruel!”

When everyone came over, they saw Chen Xiaoguo squatting in front of Xia Wanyuan and crying. Their relationship had never been good, and everyone knew it, so they subconsciously thought that Xia Wanyuan had bullied Chen Xiaoguo.

Xia Wanyuan sat up from her recliner, her gaze sweeping over the people who had just scolded her righteously. When those people met Xia Wanyuan’s gaze, their hearts trembled. “Who said I did it?” Xia Wanyuan’s cold voice instantly dampened the atmosphere. “Ah, it hurts! Where’s the doctor? Why isn’t he here yet?!” Chen Xiaoguo suddenly wailed, looking pitiful.

The colleague who had accompanied Chen Xiaoguo earlier thought of Chen Xiaoguo’s real name that she had accidentally discovered. She hardened her heart and said, “I came here with Guo Guo just now. When we got here, Guo Guo suddenly tripped and I got a shock.”

This colleague’s ambiguous words seemed to have instantly condemned Xia Wanyuan. Everyone turned their accusing gazes towards her.

“Wanyuan is not that kind of person.” Director Wang Wei walked over at this moment and glanced unhappily at the crowd. “Guo Guo, do you think Wan Yuan did it?”

At this time, the ambulance had arrived. The medical staff carried a stretcher over. Chen Xiaoguo cried until she was out of breath and did not answer Wang Wei. Soon, she was taken away by the ambulance.

“How vicious. This kind of person is a role model.”

“Exactly. She looks beautiful, and her heart is like a snake’s.”

After Chen Xiaoguo was carried away, everyone whispered to each other.

“Director, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.” The colleague who had accompanied Chen Xiaoguo earlier felt guilty and did not dare stay near Xia Wanyuan for long. “Wait.” Before she could turn around, Xia Wanyuan called out to her.

“You guys don’t leave either.” Xia Wanyuan stood up. The crew members who were about to leave were stopped by her words.

“Do you really think you don’t have to take any responsibility for spreading rumors and gossip?” Xia Wanyuan swept a glance at the people present. Everyone felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, suffocating them.
