Sister Hong also knew it was impossible to win this, so she immediately softened her attitude.

She said, “Director Yan, don’t be angry. Yueyue hasn’t been in her best condition these days. Can you just find someone who can replace her over the bad takes? It’s true that she can’t film now, and if we wait until tomorrow, it’ll be a waste of time. Don’t you think so?”

“What a waste of everyone’s time,” said Yan Jin with a serious expression.

She immediately said, “Everyone, I’m really sorry. We’ve made everyone suffer on such a hot day. We’ll treat everyone to ice cream later.”

Strictly speaking, she was quite sensible.

Yan Jin replied, “I’m also doing this for the sake of better results. If an actor doesn’t suffer, they can’t be called an actor.”

“Director Yan is right,” said Sister Hong.

Even though she was upset, she didn’t say anything else.

“Let’s take a 20 minute break. We’ll continue filming after that,” said Yan Jing with a wave of his hand.

Hearing they were going to continue, Pan Yueyue closed her eyes and pretended to faint.

Assistant Zhang nervously held her and yelled, “Yueyue, what’s wrong?”

Sister Hong hurriedly ran over and, with the help of several staff members, hurriedly carried Pan Yueyue to a chair.

A staff member handed Sister Hong an ice pack.

She pressed a hand on Pan Yueyue’s forehead as she looked at Yan Jing.

She said, “Director Yan, look. Yueyue has already fainted. We should hurry up and call the ambulance.”

Cheng Yaoyao, who had been watching, immediately went to the lounge and got some hot water. She splashed it all over Pan Yueyue’s face.

Pan Yueyue shouted and jumped up.

Cheng Yaoyao’s splashing skills were really good; Sister Hong was so close, but she only got hit by some water. On the other hand, Pan Yueyue got splashed all over.

Seeing her jump up, Cheng Yaoyao innocently said, “It’s fine; we don’t need an ambulance.”

Everyone on set was silent.

Yan Jin coldly stared at the dumbfounded Pan Yueyue.

“Heh, you pretended to faint just to avoid filming?” he mocked. “If an ambulance really came, people would’ve thought you were a professional at it.”

Pan Yueyue was instantly embarrassed. After all, she was indeed pretending to faint, but she also felt wronged. Why was he making things difficult for her?

Sister Hong immediately said, “Director Yan, don’t be angry. Yueyue was just too tired, so she must’ve fallen asleep just now. I thought she fainted. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

Although Pan Yueyue was resentful, she didn’t want to pay the penalty.

She could only say, “Director Yan, please give me a chance. I’ll rest for a while and get in the mood again.”

“Alright, we’ll continue in 20 minutes,” said Yan Jin with a nod.

They filmed from 4:30 pm to almost 8 pm.

When Pan Yueyu’s acting finally passed, she walked out.

Sister Hong was afraid that she would anger Yan Jin.

She immediately said, “Director Yan, Yueyue is too tired. Let’s go back to the car and rest.”

Yan Jin knew Pan Yueyue was deliberately throwing a tantrum and Sister Hong was just trying to cover it up.

However, he didn’t trouble her this time. He only said a few simple words before letting them leave.

Soon, it was summer vacation. The film became a major hit.

Jiang Ling’er also became the hottest actress of the summer. She had both good looks and acting skills, letting her gain many fans and become the leader of the newbies in acting.

Many variety shows wanted to invite her, but Li Yu rejected them all.

That evening, at 5:30 pm.

Jiang Ling’er had just finished filming. After bidding farewell to the others, she left with Li Yu.

***

In the Jiang family’s living room.

Jiang Ling’er continued her yoga.

Li Yu was teasing Little Leopard with a toy, but the cat was very arrogant and ignored him.

He felt very embarrassed. In order to hide it, he pretended to throw the toy aside in disdain.

Little Leopard glanced at it and ignored it. Instead, it jumped onto the windowsill and played with the curtains.

When Li Yu saw this, his expression turned ugly. What did this stupid cat have against him? Why did it always embarrass him?

Jiang Ling’er sat in a difficult yoga pose and smiled.

Li Yu looked at the cat with disdain. He said, “I think he needs a lesson.”

Jiang Xian, who was watching TV, replied, “You’re right, Li Yu.”

Jiang Ling’er was very helpless. She didn’t know why these two didn’t get along with Little Leopard. The cat was already so outstanding, but these two men just didn’t like him.

She said, “What? My Little Leopard has always been a good little cat, okay?”
