They said I was daydreaming, but actually, Heather seemed out of it, though she heard everything they said, including what Jiang Yang said.
As soon as Jiang Yang finished speaking, Heather looked up and smiled at him, "I have no thoughts. Just pretend I donât exist. Donât mind me."
Itâs impossible to pretend she doesnât exist, the director asked her, "Wei Wei, if you have any thoughts, just tell us."
She laughed and said, "Director, Iâd better not say it, itâs not something pleasant. You all continue, donât mind me."
"Itâs alright, itâs alright, just go ahead and say it! What could be taboo?"
Heather repeatedly declined, but the director insisted she speak, so she had no choice but to say, "Director, let me first state it really isnât something pleasant, but since you insist..."
She shrugged her shoulders and continued, "Although I donât believe in curses, I do believe that once some things start, they never end. Director, my intuition tells me that if possible... this drama should not continue filming."
A commotion erupted.
Others might have thought it, but she was the only one who directly brought it up! And directly to the director!
"...Wei Wei, do you also believe in curses?" The director was stunned, "None of this is real!"
"Director, I donât believe in curses. The reason Iâm saying this is because I think someone might be deliberately targeting us. Perhaps theyâre targeting the original novel author of âBefore Dawnâ, not wanting it to be adapted into a screen production. Or perhaps theyâre targeting Xiao Man, and Iâm implicated because of association. Or it could purely be out of spite, thatâs possible too. My intuition tells me, if it keeps filming, so-called âaccidentsâ wonât stop. But, thatâs just my two cents, since the show is this far along, calling a sudden halt means previous investments would be wasted."
"Heather, I think youâre just scared, scared that someone will continue to target you," Qu Leqi chimed in provocatively.
Heather didnât get angry, she shrugged, "What is there to be scared of? If I was scared, Iâd just leave instead of saying all this."
Everyone felt that she wasnât afraid.
If she was scared, she wouldnât have rushed into the fire to save Nian Shen that day.
...
The meeting adjourned, everyone went their separate ways.
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, the director gave everyone a day off to adjust, so they could continue filming in good spirits the next day.
Heather walked away from everyone, intending to leave, but heard someone in high heels approaching from behind.
Just from the way they walked, she knew who was coming closer.
Heather didnât care and just kept walking, but the person behind walked faster to catch up with her, deliberately speaking loudly as if afraid she couldnât hear, "Iâve reconciled with Mr. Nian."
"Oh, well congratulations to you."
Qu Leqi didnât believe Heather had no reaction at all, so she continued walking alongside her, talking about various things.
Heather truly didnât care, internally mocking this woman for not only having low intelligence but also being abysmally low in emotional intelligence.
Really quite pitiful.
"Miss Qu, I have no interest whatsoever in the love story between you and Mr. Nian, can you let me off the hook?"
"Iâm flattering you by even telling you this, what, youâre unwilling to listen?"
"Please... Miss Qu, donât flatter me. Following me around like a mosquito, youâre so annoying."
"Youâ" Qu Leqi sneered, "I see it now, youâre just jealous."
