Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 87 Shifting The Blame (2)

"Why must I explain the reason why, Director Zhao?" Director Lan didn't back down from his blatant challenge, "It was your niece and her manager who created trouble and even broke Miss Meng's hairpin. Why are you trying to shift the blame on me now? Was the reason why they fought was because of me? If it is... Then I must say, I won't take responsibility for it."

Director Zhao's face turned red from anger. He had never thought that not only did Director Lan didn't fall to his trap, he actually emphasized that even if he was the reason why these two girls fought, he didn't give a d*mn about it. Wasn't director Lan just acting like the playboys in a series and movies?

"Uncle, please stop it," Qin Ling grabbed Director's Zhao's arm and shook her head. She wanted to curse at her uncle for being so stupid and involved Director Lan. The man was her crush. How would she show her face to him again if her Director Zhao continued? "Brother Lan isn't at fault here. It was Manager Zhao who made a mistake and did this to me."

Director Zhao still wanted to challenge the young director, but since his niece was asking him to stop, he could only do so and pour all his attention to her. "I know, Xiao Ling. Don't worry, I will look for a good lawyer who could handle this matter. I'll make sure that manager Zhao will pay for all the damages she did to you!"

"Let's do that then," Director Lan suddenly peeled himself off the wall and looked at the Prop Staff member. "Let's all head out and look for a lawyer to settle this."

"Oh? Is Director Lan helping Qin Ling settle this matter? Unfortunately, I don't want you to get yourself involved here anymore. We don't need your help," Director Lan said and eyed the young director, who looked as if everything was boring him.

Director Lan stared at him for a few seconds before he said: "Who said I'm going to help?"

"Then why are you going with us to look for a lawyer?"

"Why else?" Director Lan said, turned to the Prop Staff member and said, "The matter about the hairpin is still not settled."

Qin Ling's heart sank and she quickly said, "It was Manager Zhao who broke it!"

She continued to pass the blame to the manager who already left. However, Director Lan didn't seem to have heard her words.

He said, "It doesn't matter if Manager Zhao or you broke it, Miss Qin. The fact that the hairpin is broken and can no longer be restored to its original state is an irrefutable matter."

"Then, why am I being involved in it?" Qin Ling was really scared. No, she didn't want to have anything to do with that hairpin!

"Because when the hairpin was found, it was only the two of you who were around at that time."

"But still, it doesn't prove anything! You saw Manager Zhao's hand, she was the one holding the hairpin." Qin Ling continued to lie and push all the fault on Manager Zhao. She was extremely shameless and convinced herself that she really wasn't the one who broke it, but Zhao Chen.

"But you were also here with her. Besides, who will really know if what you're saying is true since Manager Zhao said it wasn't her and also said it was Miss Qin who broke the hairpin." Director Lan said.

Director Zhao saw that Director Lan was bullying his niece, he couldn't take it any longer and indignantly said, "Director Lan, my niece already said that it wasn't her. You might not have known her, but I watched her grow. I know my niece would never lie so that only means she really didn't break the hairpin."

Director Lan wasn't interested in this topic and replied, "Director Zhao's words are really interesting. Without knowing the whole truth, you are already set on believing your niece's words."

At this moment, Meng Chen walked forward seeing that the situation was holding the filming back. It wasn't difficult to know what transpired inside the room since everyone's voice was loud and every detail was heard by her.

She said as soon as she entered the room: "There's no need for the two directors to fight," she glanced at the two directors and sighed, "The hairpin isn't mine. But it was a prized treasure of a friend who owns it. It is an irreplaceable and valuable item, I don't think we should settle things here and base the truth in our words alone."

She turned to the crew gawking and watching everything from outside the door, and asked them, "Isn't there a CCTV recording inside this room?"

The crew who stood near her thought about it before he nodded, "There is indeed a surveillance camera. We couldn't install it in the dressing room, but since the makeup room and dressing room are connected, we decided to install it here to prevent any stalker and fans from doing anything bad."

Meng Cheng nodded and looked at the people who were arguing before her eyes landed on Qin Ling, who was now tremendously shaking. She smiled at the crew and said, "That's good. Then, we can all watch the recording and see who broke the hairpin. Of course, if the hairpin broke without anyone breaking it and simply fell on the ground, I'll take responsibility and talk to my friend..."

"However, if Miss Qin or Manager Zhao did it... Then, I can only ask for you two to be prepared because a lawsuit will be the least of your worries," she added at the end.

Meng Chen was not like Qin Ling. She was always just and proper, never showing a bad attitude and taking other people's roles for popularity.

She turned around and let the crew member who spoke to her lead them to the surveillance room where the recording was saved.

Now, Qin Ling had nowhere to escape.
