The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Chapter 1220 - What An Unforgiving Woman

1220 What An Unforgiving Woman

Upon seeing Su Wan standing there and watching, someone pretended to fall, stumbling over to her and immediately pushing her away.

“Oh no...”

After being pushed away, as ill-luck would have it, Su Wan collided into the prop.

The prop fell to the ground with a crash.

Seeing this, the production manager on this part of the set let out a cry of alarm.

“Good lord! My Chinese porcelain vase!”

They had borrowed the props from someone else. This was none other than the most expensive prop in the entire production.

Su Wan had fallen onto the ground and her finger had been cut open, but she was similarly shocked when she saw the prop.

“This...”

“Su Wan, you’re finished, you’re finished. This is ridiculously expensive.”

Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat.

There was already a fight going on outside and now, Su Wan had even broken a prop.

In no time, they gathered around and looked at Su Wan while discussing amongst themselves.

“This is a Chinese porcelain vase. It was so difficult to borrow.”

“Yes. We borrowed it from a wealthy collector. It’s worth millions of dollars, you know?”

“This is a collector’s item. It’s said to be worth a few million dollars. Now that you’ve broken it, you’ll have to pay not only a few million dollars in compensation.”

Su Wan turned around but did not see anyone behind her.

The people who had just played a dirty trick on her had by now went hiding, God knows where.

Clenching her teeth, Su Wan thought to herself that it was all Gu Jingyu’s fault. After she had returned the day before, they had started behaving weirdly. When she refused to talk about it, they started to resent her even more.

Sure enough, they had taken revenge on her now.

A few million dollars...

Forget a few million dollars. She could not even pay ten thousand dollars right now.

By coming here this time, her remuneration came up to a paltry sum.

Just then...

“Gu Jingyu is here.”

By the time someone shouted this, Gu Jingyu had already walked out.

When he saw the situation here, Gu Jingyu looked down and glanced at Su Wan on the ground.

“What happened?”

“Jingyu... this minor actress broke our Chinese porcelain vase.”

Gu Jingyu said, “Oh... Since it’s broken, can’t we just buy another one?”

“We can’t. It costs a few million dollars. We borrowed it from a wealthy businessman. Because we place emphasis on exquisiteness, many of our props are very expensive.”

Hearing this, Gu Jingyu lowered his head and glanced at Su Wan meaningfully.

Everyone thought that he was going to reprimand her. No one expected him to suddenly say, “Alright. Where did you borrow it from? I’ll come up with the money.”

Huh? No way. How generous of him...

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment. They had even wanted to die earlier but did not expect such a huge plot twist to appear so abruptly.

Lin Che hastily made her way over as well and saw Su Wan still sitting on the ground. Gu Jingyu said, “It’s nothing. The item has been broken and I’ll be paying for it. How’s the situation outside?”

“I can’t believe what’s going on outside either. I was just about to get someone to go and find out.”

“Let me take a look.”

Gu Jingyu went out and asked, “What are you guys doing?”

Lin Che glanced at Su Wan on the ground. “Why aren’t you helping her up? The skin on her hand has even split open. What are you guys doing? Dress the wound for her and check to see if she needs to get a tetanus jab.”

At this, everyone hastily took action.

They did not expect both Lin Che and Gu Jingyu to be so generous. They did not even mention firing Su Wan.

The girls who had tripped Su Wan over had genuine disappointment written all over their faces.

They wondered to themselves if Gu Jingyu felt that it was better to help Su Wan out a bit because he was acquainted with her.

If that were the case, then Su Wan had really struck the lottery.

—

The moment Gu Jingyu went out, everyone outside stopped what they were doing.

Gu Jingyu asked, “What are you guys trying to do?”

“Gu... Jingyu... we were just helping the production crew move the props.”

“Who told you guys to move them?

“I...”

Gu Jingyu said, “Move them back in.”

“We... Movie King Gu, we can’t do that. We need to film too. You guys are occupying our space. We...”

“We’re occupying your space? Fine. Go ahead and move our things right now. I’ll see who dares to move our things. We’ll abandon those things then. Take away all these things and you’ll have to compensate us just the same. But I’m telling you, our props are definitely different from your styrofoam ones. Some of these are from my house and some of them were borrowed. Every one of them is worth a few million dollars. You guys decide what to do.”

What...

If someone else were to say that, they would definitely think he was boasting.

But the words took on a different meaning when they came from Gu Jingyu’s mouth.

How could there be anything counterfeit in Gu Jingyu’s house?

They looked at each other before looking at the exquisite props in their hands.

They immediately felt a sense of heaviness on their bodies.

They hastily said, “Sure, sure. We’ll put them back. We’ll put them back as a show of respect to Movie King Gu.”

“Eh.” At this moment, Lin Che approached from behind and looked at them. “You took them away at will and you’re putting them back at will. What do you take us for?”

They froze again.

Lin Che said bluntly, “We don’t want these items anymore. You can just pay us the commensurate compensation.”

“...”

They had been trapped in a scam.

What’s more, it was a huge scam and a direct one at that.

“Sister Che, you can’t bully us like this, right? We merely touched them. We didn’t even damage them.”

Lin Che said, “That’s right, we’re bullying you guys. If not, you would think of us as easy targets, right? Since you’ve moved them away, we’ll leave it at that. We don’t want anything that others have touched. You guys can leave. Once I’ve calculated the full sum, I’ll call the finance department of your company.”

“Eh, don’t. Sister Che. We’ll admit that we were wrong. Isn’t that enough?”

Gu Jingyu looked at Lin Che and asked them, “Weren’t you talking quite big earlier? You said that you would help us shift regardless of whether we agreed or disagreed. It seems that the industry now is really different from the industry I knew back then. You can simply disregard seniority like this. Anyone, no matter who it is, can step all over me.”

“Good lord. Of course, we wouldn’t dare to. How could we? We beg you two to let us off. We’re just insignificant people. We have to earn a living to feed our families.”

There was no way they could have expected them to become so unforgiving all of a sudden.

Initially, they had thought that it would be easy to bully Lin Che here as she was just a woman. But they did not expect...

Now, Gu Jingyu was not the only one being difficult. Lin Che was also being so overbearing. She was refusing to let them put the props down.

Lin Che and Gu Jingyu looked at them. Then, Lin Che said directly, “Anyway, take these away. We’re still busy filming other scenes, so I’ll head in first. I don’t know how much money we’ve wasted in an hour. You guys are also in the business of filming, so you should know that it’s not worth it for us to waste all our budget on such matters.”

When Lin Che finished speaking, she waved her hand and dismissed all of them.

Gu Jingyu glanced at them and scoffed before following her inside.

The people outside were truly dumbfounded. They hastily started begging outside. “Ladies and gentlemen, help us coax Sister Che. We’re really...”

The production manager thought to himself, How impressive. They had started begging for forgiveness with just that.

They only had confidence with Lin Che and Gu Jingyu around.

Su Wan looked on from where she was. To be honest, she felt very envious.

Unlike the jealousy that some people felt, she actually did not like being jealous of others because she had always felt that people could improve and succeed only through their own hard work.

Thus, she did not like being jealous of anyone.

When she looked at Lin Che, her only thought was that it would be good if she could be like her one day and not get bullied by anyone else.
