Jiang Lai directly withdrew her arm.
"The small bone in the ankle is broken, broken into three or four pieces."
Shang Qingrao sighed.
"What to do now? We still need to continue recording the show. Did you know the grandma before? You seem really nervous about her."
In short, if Jiang Lai behaves suspiciously, itās no wonder she misunderstood.
Jiang Lai looked at her.
"Nervous? Where did you see that Iām nervous?"
After speaking, Jiang Lai casually glanced at the watch on Shang Qingraoās wrist, the corner of her mouth lifting slightly.
"Looks like youāre a bit more nervous, huh."
A single sentence uncovered the truth.
On the screen, the heart rates of the two were evident.
Jiang Lai: 88
Shang Qingrao: 107
[Wow, right on the mark!]
[I forgot about the heart rate watch, but now it seems like Shang Qingrao is more nervous.]
[Jiang Lai is amazing, Iām in love!]
[People get tired following her around, donāt hold onto something just to not let go, okay?]
[Whyās no one elseās heart rate higher than hers?]
Shang Qingraoās heart instinctively tightened.
The next second, her heart rate went up to 110.
Jiang Lai found her efforts to calm down amusing.
"Pay more attention to your own affairs. If you keep talking like that, I might just pursue legal action."
Shang Qingraoās eyes grew red.
Murong Yan saw this, and frowned with displeasure at Jiang Lai.
"Sheās just concerned about the recording of the show, donāt be so aggressive. Since thereās nothing serious, letās continue and stop wasting everyoneās time."
"Oh, finally caring about saving time for others. If you had that awareness during the task, I wouldnāt have only marked eight locations."
Murong Yan was at a loss for words, angry but unable to speak, his face turning red.
Shang Qingrao was completely silent.
Because of the watch on her hand, she couldnāt control her emotions like before.
In the end, the director sent someone to take the grandma to the boat off the island.
Before leaving, the grandma instructed Jiang Lai.
"Take all those sea duck eggs to eat, donāt waste them. Theyāre very nutritious, make sure to eat more."
Jiang Lai nodded and, before leaving, voluntarily said to the director, "Iāll cover the medical expenses, just contact my agent directly."
The director looked at her, as if meeting her for the first time.
There werenāt any cameras around now, so the audience couldnāt hear her words.
"The show can afford this little expense. Letās continue recording."
"Then deduct it from my salary."
The director couldnāt help but smile.
"Salary, huh."
As the second recording started, Jiang Lai kept generating buzz for the show and brought many surprises.
Compared to the first episode, Jiang Lai now was a person who could perfectly integrate into the group, cheerful, generous, full of life skills, and neither pretentious nor fake.
In real life, she was a likable character.
He was curious about what caused such a significant change in Jiang Lai.
Now without cameras, the director asked, "Heartbroken?"
If guessed wrong, the other party would definitely be incredulous.
But if guessed right, the first reaction would surely be to hide and deny.
However, Jiang Lai directly nodded and admitted it.
"Yes, the director has good insight."
The director hadnāt expected himself to ask such a thing.
He didnāt know how to respond for a moment.
"Thereās no shortage of handsome guys in the circle, donāt worry about not finding someone. Work hard, and maybe youāll find someone in our show."
Jiang Lai smiled.
"Well, I didnāt have such awareness before, but now thinking about it, as actors, we should focus on our careers, or weād let down the many fans who like us.
From now on, Iāve decided to marry my career and avoid any love distractions."
"Hahaha, didnāt expect you would think like this."
As they were chatting, the director suddenly heard the assistant directorās voice in his headset.
"Director, what are you talking about with Jiang Lai? The audience heard everything!"
The director suddenly remembered that Jiang Lai should have a noise-cancelling microphone on her clothes, the video was off but not the audio, so the whole conversation must have been broadcasted.
His mind raced.
Finally, he looked at Jiang Lai.
Things being as they were, there was no other choice but to ask Jiang Lai.
"About the... matter you mentioned, is it okay?"
After all, Jiang Lai was an actress who hadnāt been reported in a relationship, and now suddenly revealing a breakup was definitely not a good thing for someone who frequently made headlines.
"Itās okay, nothing to hide."
"Yes, you hid it quite well."
Surprisingly, nothing had ever been captured of her.
[Will there be any more explosive news than this today?]
[I donāt care about Jiang Laiās breakup, but Iām moved by what she said at the end.]
[Was it because of the breakup that her state was so bad in the first episode?]
[Oh my, I want to hug my hubby, hubby please marry me, Iāll eat less and keep you warm in bed.]
[Wow? Jiang Lai was in a relationship and just broke up?!]
#JiangLaiBreakup# exploded.
Seeing this trending topic, Sister Fangās blood pressure soared.
Then countless calls came in, all from major media outlets seeking firsthand information.
Sister Fang rejected them all, her heart sinking to the bottom.
Jiang Lai exposing such news at this stage was absolutely not a good thing.
She didnāt watch the live broadcast, but even without watching, she knew it must have been that careless mouth of Jiang Lai that slipped.
All she could do was remain silent, the more said the more mistakes, fearing it might affect future commercial collaborations.
Sister Fang, anxiously waiting for the public opinion to settle, wanted to contact the companyās PR team to suppress the news.
But as soon as she opened her phone, hundreds of thousands of messages flooded all her social networks and contacts.
"May I ask if Teacher Jiangās commercial activities for the second half of the year are full? Thereās a charity red carpet event that would like to invite Teacher Jiang to attend."
"Hello Sister Fang, G brandās perfume is having an October offline event. Weād like to invite Teacher Jiang to join, is her schedule open?"
"Sister Fang, would you be interested in checking out the script for āLong Hatred Songā? Weād like to invite Teacher Jiang to star as the female lead and look forward to working with her."
...
Such commercial offers, movie and TV scripts, endorsements, were endless.
Rivaling the popularity of top stars.
Sister Fang was stunned, rubbing her eyes to make sure she wasnāt mistaken.
Her artist, Jiang Lai, had really made it!
What on earth happened just now?
Why did Jiang Laiās Weibo followers increase so rapidly?
In just one hour, her followers grew by over 150,000!
Thatās when she noticed the newly trending topics.
