"Are you okay?" Meng Nianchu asked worriedly as she grabbed Mu Junze's hand to check. Seeing the obvious red and swollen mark on his hand, she glared angrily at Linda.
Linda shouted at the top of her voice again, "What are you looking at me for? We clearly said that the loser would be hit. You lost, so of course I'm going to hit you. What are you glaring at me for!"
"Your hand was too heavy! It's already like this on the hand. If it had hit the face, Nianchu would have been disfigured."
An actress with a bit more courage couldn't stand Linda's atrocious behavior and spoke up.
Linda immediately stared at her fiercely, "What did I do wrong! It's Meng Nianchu who didn't follow the rules. There should be a punishment for the loser. That's what we agreed on from the start. She broke the rules. Instead of scolding her, you're yelling at me!"
She roared loudly, looking nothing like a famous actress.
Almost everyone was disgusted by Linda's appearance. They looked at Meng Nianchu with pity in their eyes and sighed inwardly: Linda is really a despicable person!
Mu Junze didn't care about the red and swollen mark on his palm. He gave Linda a cold glance and then didn't spare her another look. He pulled Meng Nianchu and wanted to take her to sit somewhere else.
However, Meng Nianchu took a step forward and faced Linda directly. Her words were firm and filled with coldness, "Dare to play again!"
"Why should I play again!" Seeing Meng Nianchu's menacing aura, Linda was also scared. Her eyes darted around, and she lacked confidence.
Meng Nianchu let out a cold laugh. Then she picked up a balloon on the ground and slapped it with a "pop". The loud noise startled Linda.
"Scared?"
Hearing what Meng Nianchu said, the actresses who had long disliked Linda began to jeer, "Wasn't Miss Linda so eager to play just now? Why is she not willing now that Nianchu has invited her?"
"Miss Linda isn't scared, is she?"
Hearing someone among the onlookers suddenly provoking her, Linda's vain pride seemed to be touched. In a fit of anger, she immediately opened her lips, "Fine!"
"It's just a small game. What's there for me to be afraid of!"
The coldness in Meng Nianchu's eyes grew stronger, "Good."
There was no doubt about the result this time.
Maybe it was because Linda wanted to humiliate Meng Nianchu in front of everyone and had injured Mu Junze. Meng Nianchu was filled with anger, so this time she used all her strength.
On the contrary, Linda was too afraid of losing this game and being retaliated against by Meng Nianchu for her previous actions. Her mind was not focused enough, and she stepped on two fewer balloons than Meng Nianchu.
The director, who was acting as the referee, this time said excitedly, "Nianchu wins!"
Then all the actresses watched Meng Nianchu like they were watching a show, eager to see Linda get slapped in the face.
Linda, who had lost, wanted to renege on the deal, "I just wasn't..."
"Don't tell me you're trying to renege on the deal," Meng Nianchu walked to the table, picked up a balloon, stood in front of Linda, and said menacingly with her eyes, "Bite on it."
Linda gasped for air and clearly didn't want to.
Then an actress, seeing Linda being so hesitant, directly stepped onto the stage, grabbed the balloon, pinched Linda's mouth, and put the balloon in her mouth. At the same time, she put the other end of the balloon in Meng Nianchu's hand.
Meng Nianchu didn't waste any more time. She took a big step back and let go of the balloon.
The balloon hit Linda's face hard like a sharp sword.
Only Linda's shrill scream could be heard.
The little actresses who had been bullied by Linda before felt secretly delighted when they saw this scene.
"Meng Nianchu, what are you doing!" Linda gently touched the extremely painful part of her cheek with her hand, and the pain was excruciating.
Meng Nianchu said calmly, "It's the punishment for the loser."
"How could you be so heavy - handed!"
It seemed that when she said this, she had already forgotten how she had treated Meng Nianchu just a few minutes ago.
She didn't remember, but there were people who remembered for her. The actress who had taken the initiative to step onto the stage said meaningfully, "Nianchu is much gentler to you than you were to her just now, Miss Linda."
"That's right. If Mr. Mu hadn't blocked that blow for Nianchu just now, we don't know what her face would have looked like."
"Miss Linda won't admit that she hit her own face, right? Just now, I heard Miss Linda say that the game should be taken seriously."
"You all!"
Now that the filming of the crew was about to end, those who had objections to Linda wished they could seize every opportunity to scold her and teach her a good lesson to relieve their disgust for her!
Linda covered her swollen left cheek and glared at them angrily, wishing she could rush down and tear their mouths apart!
A bunch of despicable people who kick a man when he's down!
Anyway, the wrap - up dinner hadn't ended yet and needed to continue. The director was afraid that if the situation continued like this, it would get out of control.
So he stepped in in time to divert everyone's attention, "Alright, alright. Everyone has been playing for so long. It's time to eat something. I've prepared a lot of desserts. Nianchu, see which one you like."
Knowing the director's intention well, Meng Nianchu picked up a small piece of jujube cake and took a bite, "This one is quite delicious."
As soon as she spoke, the other actresses, who were starving, quickly picked up the snacks and ate heartily.
Meng Nianchu quietly pulled Mu Junze to sit on the side where there was no one. She took out the special anti - swelling ointment for her son from her handbag and gently applied it on Mu Junze's palm.
"Does it still hurt?" After applying the ointment, Meng Nianchu asked softly.
Mu Junze pulled Meng Nianchu to sit beside him. Without Meng Nianchu's blocking, Mu Junze looked directly at Linda, who was staring at them with hatred on her face.
Unexpectedly meeting Mu Junze's eyes, Linda quickly averted her gaze.
Mu Junze's expression was gloomy.
"You won't see her again in the future," Meng Nianchu didn't need to look in the direction Mu Junze was looking to know it was Linda staring at them. She was teasing the child in her arms and suddenly said.
Mu Junze frowned even deeper, "Stay away from her."
"I know."
The wrap - up dinner didn't seem to be affected by Linda's mean and unsociable behavior. They naturally ignored Linda and held the dinner until the end with laughter and joy.
During this period, reporters came to the crew to film the behind - the - scenes footage and even captured Linda standing beside Mu Junze with a beaming smile.
After the wrap - up dinner ended and the photos and videos were posted on Weibo, Linda was once again the target of public ridicule.
Moreover, the disgusted expression on Mu Junze's face when Linda stood beside him was even made into a meme by netizens, who exclaimed that Mu Junze's disgust was even coming through the screen.
The filming of the crew ended, and Meng Nianchu could finally rest at home and spend some time with her child.
This rare holiday was especially enjoyable for Meng Nianchu.
Mu Junze also completed his work in the company as quickly as possible every day so that he could go home earlier to take care of Meng Nianchu.
The family of three had a really happy time these days.
