Chapter 289: Jian Tan Take The Blame Alone

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jian Tan looked at Xia Wei’s back view as she fled. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. He did not chase after her and push her too hard.

After about five minutes, when Jian Tan arrived at the event location in her costume, Xia Wei’s face was already cold as she argued with Ma Liang for a few rounds!

She felt very complicated at this moment. Although she knew that it was a foregone conclusion for Jian Tan to take over the role of “Underworld Emperor”, she could not help but find trouble with the producer. She was angry that Ma Liang and Xu Kai took advantage of Jian Tan’s love for her. The two of them take all the good things, but Jian Tan became the one who suffered in secret.

“Alright, little ancestor! I know that we did something wrong, but I really don’t have a choice. When I handed the script to Wu Fan, I didn’t expect Teacher Jian Tan to really accept it!” Ma Liang explained helplessly after being cursed at full blast at Xia Wei’s sarcastic remark.

He reached out and scratched the back of his head. He glanced at Xia Wei, who was silent, and continued to make up for it. “Actually, this is the best thing for you and the entire production team. You don’t have to keep brooding over it!” Hearing this, Xia Wei looked up at him. After sneering softly, she replied, “Yes, none of us will suffer a loss. Let Jian Tan take all the blame alone!”

Ma Liang wanted to raise his hands and surrender. She was really too difficult to deal with. He felt that Wu Fan was not as concerned about this matter as Xia Wei.

Fortunately, this awkward situation did not last long. As Jian Tan entered the venue, the entire event location quickly became lively. He was also lured away by Xu Kai with a sentence, leaving behind Xia Wei, who still looked gloomy.

Jian Tan stood behind the camera and glanced at Xia Wei. He did not say anything and only smiled comfortingly before quickly getting back to work.

His attitude made Xia Wei no longer have any extravagant hopes. She could only sit behind the camera with her arms crossed and silently watch him finish filming the scene!

Xu Kai did not expect that he would really be able to work with Jian Tan one day. His eyes were almost shining as he stared at the monitor.

Wu Fan naturally sensed the subtle atmosphere. He looked at Xu Kai and Jian Tan, who were engrossed in their work, and walked towards Xia Wei.

“Ahem! You didn’t really argue with Ma Liang, right? I saw that the two of you were quite agitated just now.” Wu Fan cleared his throat and pretended not to care.

Xia Wei replied without looking up, “No.”

As she spoke, she sighed helplessly and added without any pause, “Things have already come to this. I have no reason to keep arguing. Don’t you still say that Jian Tan doesn’t have any other work recently? Why was Ma Liang’s script handed to him?”

Wu Fan knew that Xia Wei was very smart, but he did not expect her to be so sharp. After smiling bitterly helplessly, he explained frankly, “Yes, he rejected a role that Director Sun tailored for him just to act as this ‘Underworld Emperor’! Sigh, you know Jian Tan’s personality. As long as he has decided on something, very few people can make him change his mind. I can’t, and you can’t either!”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Wei mysteriously. Clearly, he knew very well that Xia Wei had just been rejected by Jian Tan in the tent.

“I’ve never seen him do this for anyone. You’re really different! I hope you’re worthy of his efforts.”

As Wu Fan spoke, he walked away, leaving Xia Wei standing there alone. No one knew what she was thinking.

With Jian Tan joining the production team of “Female Assassin”, it was as if an old man who was about to die had been injected with a new life force. Everyone was very motivated. Xia Wei did not have any scenes today and only stayed at the scene for two hours before leaving.

Of course, she did not find a chance to talk to Jian Tan alone. She just watched Jian Tan act for a while before Wang Ming picked her up.

She still had to go to He Shi’s music studio today to confirm the work preparations for the MV filming.

It was lunchtime at 12 pm. He Shi had been busy with the singles for the past few days and had been eating in the recording studio. When Xia Wei and Wang Ming came over, they happened to see them eating.

“You’re here so early. I thought it would be one in the afternoon? Have you eaten? I’ll get them to call in a few more dishes. Let’s eat together!”

He Shi was still very happy to see Xia Wei. He immediately stood up from his chair and asked his assistant to order food..
