Chapter 129: Choosing One of the Two

No one expected the bag to be found in Xian Yu’s dressing room.

...

Because of this, the way people looked at Nan Qiao became even more intriguing.

“Looks like your acting skills have become much better than before.”

Nan Qiao’s sudden words stunned Qu Pingwan for a moment. Then, she realized what she meant and immediately looked at Nan Qiao angrily.

“What are you trying to say?”

Qu Pingwan didn’t like her to begin with, let alone get openly embarrassed by her.

Moreover, Qu Pingwan had been tortured by the director for the entire day because of her poor acting skills. Before she could untie the knot in her heart, Nan Qiao annoyed her again.

“I’m just saying.”

She spread her hands, and her expression could not be more sincere.

However, Nan Qiao stood there and looked straight at Qu Pingwan. She didn’t show any weakness when facing others, and her expression was so calm that no one could tell what she was thinking.

“You acted so badly just now but yet you’re really good at framing me now.

You’ve really impressed me.”

Nan Qiao looked at Qu Pingwan with a faint smile. Iler calm eyes looked especially clear and bright under the evening light. They were so clean that Qu Pingwan felt guilty, but she adjusted in the next second.

She had checked the other party’s background. Other than addressing Xian Yu as “brother”, there was nothing else important about Nan Qiao. She was completely an ordinary person.

Although there were many ways to make people disappear unknowingly, Qu Pingwan didn’t want Xian Yu to think that she was the one who did it, so this scene happened.

Now she had successfully made Nan Qiao the suspect.

“You said 1 stole something. Where’s the evidence?”

However, Nan Qiao stood there calmly and threw the problem.

She reached out and patted Xian Yu, telling him not to be so nervous.

‘Evidence?’

Qu Pingwan was stunned. She did not expect her to not only not defend herself, but also say such a thing.

“Didn’t so many people see it just now?”

She came back to her senses and looked at Nan Qiao to answer, not understanding what she meant.

Previously, in order to prevent others from saying that she had done it herself, Qu Pingwan had specially instructed her assistant to bring a few people who were not related to them to search. She did not expect it to be such a successful idea.

“So you’ve determined that I stole from you?”

It was clearly a question, but from Nan Qiao’s mouth, it sounded like a statement.

It was as if she had expected all of this.

Qu Pingwan frowned unconsciously and felt an indescribable sense of panic in her heart. However, after thinking about her assistant’s clean and efficient methods, she nodded affirmatively.

“Then 1 also have something that 1 want to show everyone.”

Nan Qiao was waiting for her to reaffirm in front of everyone else first.

Next, she took out a phone that she had just taken from the table and tapped on the bright screen with her fair fingers. It was a video.

The image began to move.

Following the pattering sound, Qu Pingwan’s assistant appeared in the middle of the screen, carefully flipping through something.

Although the other party was very fast, the cell phone took a clear image of her stuffing Qu Pingwan’s bag into Nan Qiao’s backpack.

There was some distance between Nan Qiao and the rest, but those who were close could clearly see what was happening in the video.

After the video ended, Qu Pingwan’s face turned pale. She pursed her lips and couldn’t say anything.

She did not expect Nan Qiao to leave a cell phone there and record her assistant’s actions.

This time, the situation was completely reversed. It was Qu Pingwan’s turn to be baptized by everyone’s gaze.

“So what?”

Unexpectedly, after being discovered, Qu Pingwan did not panic at all. Instead, she became self-righteous.

She had never felt that she would be punished even if she did something wrong.

Although she did not expect Nan Qiao to have such a backup plan, Qu Pingwan’s target from the beginning to the end was Nan Qiao.

“I did it,” Qu Pingwan admitted straightforwardly. Then, she looked at Nan Qiao. “So what if you found out?”

In her opinion, even if Nan Qiao had Xian Yu’s protection, she couldn’t do anything to her.

Moreover, while Qu Pingwan liked Xian Yu, she also knew him very well. He did not have any background. Other than being very famous in the entertainment industry, he had many fans and did not have much power.

“People like you don’t deserve to be on the set.”

Staring into Qu Pingwan’s eyes, Nan Qiao felt that this person had tarnished the image of her story’s female lead.

Nan Qiao’s words were also the thoughts of many people. In the past two days, Qu Pingwan’s actions had negatively affected the production team, making ordinary people like them suffer.

Now that the other party had caused such an incident, it would be strange if the production team would welcome Qu Pingwan.

“Do you have the right to decide if I’m worthy or not?”

However, Qu Pingwan seemed to have heard a funny joke. She looked at Nan Qiao’s cold face and was certain that the other party couldn’t do anything to her. Hence, her smile became even wider.

She seemed to have forgotten to remind everyone that she was not only representing the Qu family, but also the investment that was enough to bring down the production team.

“If I leave this production team, I can naturally ask Dad to withdraw his investment.”

As soon as she said this, Liu Cheng’s heart, which had wanted to speak up for Xian Yu, retracted.

Although he was a good director, he had to admit that the main reason why this drama could be filmed was because Qu Pingwan’s father had invested a lot of money into the production.

At that time, Liu Cheng only thought about how the money was enough for him to film the show that he wanted. He didn’t expect Qu Pingwan to be a troublesome disaster.

If he had known that Qu Pingwan was like this, he would never have agreed to accept her funds.

However, it was too late to say anything now. If Qu Pingwan left now, the huge sum of money that was to be withdrawn would result in an immeasurable loss to the entire production team.

Fearless had already started filming. It was not easy to change investors at the last minute. Moreover, from the perspective of money, Qu Pingwan’s father was really generous.

Therefore, there was only one way in front of them, and that was to tolerate Qu Pingwan’s misdeeds.

Liu Cheng’s heart turned cold, but he knew that he could not fork out this sum of money to make up for the loss.

In the entertainment industry, capital was king.

Although Qu Pingwan’s words were a little rough, it did not stop people from bowing down for money.

After all, earning money was never an easy task.

These words appeared in everyone’s hearts. However, with Qu Pingwan as the female lead, would “Fearless” really make money?

Liu Cheng felt a headache when he thought about how she displayed almost zero acting skills today.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qu Pingwan was even happier.

“Director Liu, seeing that you’re not saying anything, you should understand.”

“This person… I don’t want to see her appear on set again, understand?”

Although Qu Pingwan didn’t say anything, everyone knew that the person she was talking about was Nan Qiao.

It was very clear that they could either watch the investment disappear or ask Nan Qiao to get lost.

It was clear which choice was more important.

No one wanted to stop work at this stage, and Nan Qiao was just a person that no one was familiar with.

For the sake of the big picture.

Liu Cheng sighed and tried to use this reason to suppress his guilt towards Nan Qiao as he had no other choice.

Just as Liu Cheng was about to speak, someone was faster than him.

“Good.”

The bright and clear voice fell into everyone’s ears. It was Xian Yu.

“Withdraw your funds. I’ll invest instead..”
