The only person in this crew who dares to offend Qu Leqi is Heather.
"Whatâs all the yelling about? Itâs just a burn, help her rest a bit and sheâll be fine!" Qu Leqi glanced downward, utterly unconcerned.
Xiao Wanâs eyes were already red-rimmed; she wanted to cry but didnât dare to.
Stars throwing their weight around isnât exactly news. For these low-level crew members, which day doesnât involve swallowing their pride? If you donât want to put up with it, simpleâquit.
But those who could afford to quit had long since done so. The ones who stayed behind were the ones who desperately needed this job.
"Forget it... Iâm fine..." Xiao Wan could only swallow her grievances.
And right then, Heather returned.
She glanced at the coffee cup on the ground, still with some coffee inside, steam rising from it.
She crouched down, picked it up, then abruptly grabbed Qu Leqiâs hand, startling her into a panic: "What... What are you trying to do?!"
"Sister Weiwei..." Xiao Wan, her tearful eyes still red, looked up at her. Could she be planning to take revenge for her?
Indeed, thatâs exactly what everyone thought!
Otherwise, why pick up that coffee?
"Nothing big," Heather shrugged. "Itâs just a burn, right?"
She imitated Qu Leqiâs indifferent attitude, mimicking what she had just said.
Yes, itâs just a burn, so Heather decided to give her oneâto let her know what "just a burn" truly meant.
The scariest thing about Heather was how serious her expression always was, devoid of any hint of joking. Based on her past actions, when Heather said "just a burn," it meant she was quite literally going to burn her.
Qu Leqi tried to retreat with all her strength: "What are you all standing there for?!"
She was calling for help.
But at this moment, who wanted to help her?
A woman who brought her own downfallâan arrogant celebrity who treated low-ranking staff like dirtâdeserved to be taught a lesson. Naturally, everyone pretended not to see.
The cup in Heatherâs hand tilted; the scalding liquid was just about to spill over. Qu Leqi hated her to deathâwhy was her strength so overwhelming?!
"Tsk, donât move," Heather warned her. "You wiggle and Iâll shakeâthen it wonât be my fault."
"Youâre insane, Heather!" Qu Leqi truly didnât dare move, but she was terrified. "If you dare do this, youâre finished! Mr. Nian will make you disappear from this city!"
"Oh... is that so?" Heather shrugged nonchalantly. "Then tell him to try. Iâm waiting."
If Qu Leqi thought she could intimidate Heather using Nian Shen as a shield, then she couldnât have been more mistaken.
Xiao Wan honestly didnât want Qu Leqi to be harmed. After all, she still had to keep working here. She spoke to Heather: "Sister Weiwei... letâs just drop it... Sister Leqi didnât mean it..."
Besides, Qu Leqi had already been scared out of her wits.
"Heather!!" The director noticed the commotion and rushed over. "What are you doing! Why is everyone just standing there watching?!"
She was the leading lady, Mr. Nianâs girlfriendânot someone to be touched in the slightest!
"Barely a few peaceful days, and you two are at it again!"
"Director, ask her yourself what she did to Xiao Wan."
The director surveyed the scene and quickly pieced things together: "With all these witnesses, could Leqi possibly have done it on purpose? It mustâve been an accident. Put down the cup, now!"
The standoff lasted for ages, with Heather refusing to move and Qu Leqi too frightened to budge.
