Chu Ying's brows knitted themselves tighter.

Su Yi wiped away the tears quickly and, in a normal voice, said, "Give me a moment, I'm not done filming for today."

However, the man promptly refuted. "No."

"The staff has worked hard to set up the scene, let's not waste their efforts." She raised her moist eyes, and said, "We'll go back after this."

As if on cue, the moment she'd finished speaking, a staff came over to knock on the door. "Yi-jie, uh ... Director Li had me come over to ask if you're done with your break."

After Su Yi went out, Chu Ying was still standing there, narrowing his eyes at the pair on the sofa.

"What happened just now."

Chu Xi shook her head quickly. "I was in the make-up room the whole time."

Chu Ying raised an eyebrow and said unhappily, "What's the point of having you around."

Chu Xi: "???"

After the siblings finished greeting in the special way they did, Wu Xue went on to describe all that had happened and exactly as it had happened.

Chu Ying was silent, and after listening to the end, said flatly, "Done?"

Wu Xue had a strange feeling of reporting to a higher-up, she automatically replied. "Yes."

Chu Ying nodded, then turned around and strode out of the make-up room.

"Why doesn't your brother look mad at all?" Wu Xue mumbled. "Just now at the scene, I could've died of anger."

Chu Xi was, on the other hand, tsking. "It's been a long while since I saw my brother angry, it's still this scary."

"..."

Chu Ying walked to behind the camera, hands in his pocket, expression calm.

As he stood there he realized that regardless of whether Su Yi was sick, or crying, her voice hadn't changed too much. She said her lines smoothly and naturally, her voice charming with an edge; the Qipao on her really brought out her beautiful curves.

Remembering the wonderful time he had with the beauty wrapped up in that fabric, Chu Ying's eyes finally softened a little.

Halfway through, Wu Ke suddenly stopped.

A few seconds later, he broke into laughter and said, "I'm affected by what happened just now, I don't think I can get into the character. Director Li, how about we push this filming to next time ... or just delete the scene altogether? It doesn't seem to be a particularly important part."

What a joke! What level of seniority was he at – being reproached by Su Yi just now wasn't something he could just ignore. He wanted to let Su Yi know, those before were just little lessons he was teaching. As long as he wanted to, he could cut her parts anytime he wished.

Su Yi's mood had already improved by a huge half, so she stonily kept her silence. She took out the little booklet she kept in her heart for keeping track of grudges, and added a huge paragraph on this.

A lady bides her time and waits for the right opportunity to seek vengeance.

[A play on the standard '君子报仇,十年不晚' which is more commonly known in English as 'one should bide one's time and wait for the right opportunity to seek vengeance'.]

At this moment she was ill disposed to deal with Wu Ke, but that didn't mean that she couldn't in the future. The wheel of fortune turns and reverses; those who come out to mix will be repaid in spades.
