However, at the moment when Qin Qiao'er's slap was about to land, Li Moli felt a huge sense of relief. She thought that the surveillance camera had finally captured something this time. With this video, she was sure to bring Qin Qiao'er to her knees.
Qin Qiao'er never expected that Li Moli had such a scheming mind. Step by step, she had laid a trap waiting for her.
On impulse, Qin Qiao'er slapped Li Moli. Then she quickly withdrew her hand, feeling extremely annoyed. No matter what, she shouldn't have laid a hand on Li Moli.
Qin Qiao'er clenched and unclenched her fists, constantly reminding herself not to be impulsive, not to be impulsive. Although the friendship between them was fake, her genuine feelings for Li Moli in the past were real.
Li Moli had achieved the effect she wanted. She just hoped for a big explosive point. Now she didn't want to entangle with Qin Qiao'er any longer. She was eager to go to the monitoring room to retrieve this surveillance video.
So after being slapped, Li Moli pretended to be in great pain. She covered her cheek, slowly squatted on the ground, and buried her head in her arms, as if she were crying.
But only Li Moli herself knew that when she bent down, she was actually planning how to edit this video and then release it.
When Qin Qiao'er saw Li Moli squat down on the ground after being slapped, she felt extremely guilty. She quickly stepped forward to help Li Moli up.
But just as Qin Qiao'er's hand touched Li Moli's shoulder, Li Moli violently shook off Qin Qiao'er's hand, then stood up straight and left the dressing room.
Qin Qiao'er was left alone, standing helplessly in the dressing room. She still hadn't recovered from what had just happened and what she had done.
Qin Qiao'er returned to her lounge absent - mindedly. Along the way, looking at the staff coming and going, she couldn't help but wonder if they also saw her the same way Li Moli did.
Did they also think that she didn't get her roles by her own efforts, but through her relationship with the director?
She thought that her performance in the crew in the past few days had been enough for everyone to get to know her, but unexpectedly, everyone still had such prejudices against her. She didn't know how to dispel these prejudices.
Although she was not a professional actress, after some guidance, she was gradually gaining confidence in acting.
Suddenly, this incident with Li Moli dealt her a heavy blow. She not only lost a so - called friend but also the ability to trust anyone.
On the way, someone tried to greet Qin Qiao'er, but Qin Qiao'er was really scared. She didn't know what this person was really like behind the seemingly friendly facade.
So Qin Qiao'er didn't act as she usually did. She just nodded faintly and left. The person left behind was very confused, not knowing why Qin Qiao'er was so abnormal today.
Qin Qiao'er sat in her lounge from dawn till dusk. She seemed to be thinking about something, or maybe just in a daze. She was just thinking about what to do in the future.
Qin Qiao'er gently moved her neck, and there was a cracking sound. She had been sitting for too long, and her neck had become stiff. Even a slight twist made such a sound.
In the quiet lounge, this sound was particularly obvious and suddenly startled Qin Qiao'er herself. The sound of her neck cracking woke her up suddenly.
She thought that she couldn't continue to wallow in such emotions. No matter what, life had to go on. She picked up her phone and found that Zhao Youting had called her many times.
Zhao Youting originally called Qin Qiao'er just to have a simple chat and let her stop thinking about what had happened this morning. But when he made the first call, he found that Qin Qiao'er didn't answer.
Qin Qiao'er didn't bring her phone when she went to meet Li Moli. The phone was left in the lounge. After she came back, she didn't turn the silent phone to the sound mode, so she never heard Zhao Youting's calls.
After seeing so many missed calls from Zhao Youting, she quickly called him back.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Youting asked anxiously, "Where have you been? Why didn't you answer the phone?"
After hearing Zhao Youting's series of questions, Qin Qiao'er's mood became even lower. With someone standing by her side like this, she felt that she had a mountain of grievances with nowhere to pour them out.
She wanted to tell Zhao Youting everything that had happened here, but she was afraid that Zhao Youting, who was far away, would worry about her. She didn't want to cause trouble for Zhao Youting, so she just kept silent.
Zhao Youting smelled something unusual from Qin Qiao'er's silence. On normal days, Qin Qiao'er would have already smiled and told him that it was okay, or told him what had just happened. But he had never seen her be so silent like this.
Zhao Youting asked carefully, "Did someone in your crew say something to you?"
Zhao Youting still thought that because of the news this morning, the people in her crew might have some opinions about Qin Qiao'er. He still thought that Qin Qiao'er really had some relationship with the director.
Zhao Youting continued, "Don't care about their opinions. As long as you are upright and proper, that's enough. What they think and say is their own business.
You should know that some people are just jealous of you. Because they can't reach your level, they will pour dirty water on you, thinking that you didn't get everything by your own strength.
There's no way to explain things clearly to such people. Just ignore them." Zhao Youting told Qin Qiao'er these words very gently, hoping that Qin Qiao'er wouldn't be affected by others.
Qin Qiao'er had been denying and doubting herself just now. She thought that it was because she didn't do well enough that those people always suspected and speculated about her.
But Zhao Youting told her that it was because she was too excellent that those people were jealous of her and spread such rumors.
The knot in Qin Qiao'er's heart that she couldn't figure out just now suddenly seemed to be untied. She began to slowly walk out of the negative emotions.
