Xia Weiliang continued to berate herself as she walked, reminding herself that she was the father, and looking at her lack of backbone, had she caved with just one look?
Arriving in front of Xiao Yi, she strategically cleared her throat and smiled like a flower, "Teacher Xiao, what do you need me for?"
Without a word, he grabbed her hand, and a distinct scratch was visible on the back of her hand.
Her skin was fair, and晏易双 had not held back, her nails digging in fiercely, leaving faint traces of blood visible on the skin.
He frowned, his thin lips pressed together.
No matter how slow Xia Weiliang was to react, she felt the atmosphere around him changing.
"Uh..." she tried to pull her hand back, but his fingers did not loosen.
This was awkward.
"Uh, allow me to explain. The size of this wound depends on the ratio of the injured party's and one's own injury. For example, if it were for a lock of her hair, then this wouldn't be a wound! It would be a merit!"
Xiao Yi suddenly stood up, startling her.
What, was he going to award her a medal?
Xiao Yi remained silent, holding her hand and approaching Director Du, showing him the "merit."
"I want an explanation."
What explanation?
Director Du was stunned.
Xia Weiliang was taken aback. This felt exactly like a parent seeking justice for their child after a fight outside.
Hands are blind and injuries are inevitable. She wasn't one to be fussy, was that not shameful!
"Uh, in my opinion, this is not necessary..."
He gave her a cold glance, "Did I ask you to speak?"
Xia Weiliang's lips twitched fiercely.
What's with this attitude? Doesn't she have any self-respect?!
Xiao Yi then turned his gaze back to Director Du.
Director Du: ＼(°o°)／
Seeing that Xiao Yi was not joking, Director Du looked at Xia Weiliang's hand blankly, "The wound... it's actually not that bad~"
As he reached out to touch it, Xiao Yi suddenly blocked him sideways, his gaze towards him so cold it made one's teeth chatter.
Director Du belatedly retracted his hand.
Understood.
Cannot touch, cannot feel.
This series of actions also left Xia Weiliang flustered. She looked up at Xiao Yi, realizing her hand was still being held by him, and her heart suddenly raced, her skin burning.
But who was she?
In terms of seniority, having lived two lifetimes, she was an ancestor!
Shy?
Non-existent!
She lifted her head, her attitude demanding, her gaze cold!
But upon meeting Xiao Yi's gaze, which looked at her like she was an idiot, she shrunk her shoulders and quietly averted her eyes.
Well, I'm sorry, I'll leave you to it.
"Director Du."
Suddenly called upon, Director Du's expression became serious.
Xiao Yi's gaze was cold, his aura more than a little powerful, "I am waiting for your response."
"Uh, this..."
Director Du looked at Xia Weiliang, winking incessantly.
If this woman were smart, she should know to give her superior a way out at the right time, to say "I don't need it" or "It's fine," and perhaps they could get along well in the future, at least she wouldn't be blacklisted, frozen, or shelved.
Xia Weiliang pretended not to understand, maintaining a pure look of "I am also waiting for a response."
Ever since she fell on hard times, this Director Du had not hesitated to kick her when she was down. Without him, how could 晏易双 have been so arrogant?
Seeing that she wasn't taking the bait, Director Du forced a laugh, "Brother Yi, rest assured, I will definitely give Little Xia an explanation for this matter."
"Oh? How will you do that?"
Xiao Yi was never one to nitpick, especially regarding matters related to himself. As long as principles were not involved, he would let things slide.
But today, he was insisting with a frightening intensity.
Ji Huan watched the spectacle with her arms crossed. Although she didn't want to admit it, having a towering figure like the film emperor covering her felt really great!
Director Du gritted his teeth and said, "First... first, we'll examine the wound. If... if it's serious, then it's considered... considered a work injury."
Examine the wound? And work injury?
晏易双 thought she misheard, "Director Du!!"
Director Du didn't want to deal with her at this moment and simply closed his eyes, feigning death.
Xiao Yi turned to look at Xia Weiliang, raising an eyebrow, "Is that okay?"
Xia Weiliang smiled brightly, "It's fine, but our Director Du is forgetful. It would be best if it could be resolved on the spot."
Director Du was furious, suppressing his anger with a smile, "Little Xia, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
Xia Weiliang calmly took out her phone, set a satisfactory amount, and directly asked him to scan the QR code.
"Director Du, this way there won't be any misunderstandings."
Director Du's teeth were grinding, and he forced a smile, "Who said there would be!"
Trembling, he took out his phone, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and directly paid.
It was as if she could hear the sound of coins dropping into a piggy bank, a clinking, even melodious!
Xia Weiliang was satisfied.
The experience of being in a fight brought profit, it was worth it!
Catching a glimpse of her smug little expression from the corner of his eye, Xiao Yi's lips curved imperceptibly.
Ji Huan sneered from the side, "Heh, Film Emperor, your tactics are quite deep!"
Qi Chi was treating Chu Qiao's wound. She had personally witnessed Director Du scan the QR code and pay, and her heart immediately sank.
Following the incident of directly sitting on the ground and hugging Director Zhou's leg, her understanding had been refreshed once again!
So, it could be like this!!
Qi Chi looked up at her, a hint of a smile flashing in his gentle eyes, and suddenly leaned closer to her.
"I'll let you vent later."
Chu Qiao came back to her senses, confused.
Could 晏易双's frail body take another beating?
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The CEO of Meiyu actually came in person, followed by a middle-aged man with a bulging belly, who said with a cold face, "The investment I gave you is for you to bully my baby?"
Director Du quickly stepped forward to greet him, "President Jiang..."
"What is going on!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, 晏易双 immediately pounced into his arms, tears streaming down her face as she complained, "My dear, you're finally here. They are ganging up to bully me!"
"Oh, baby! How could you be so miserable? Let me see who dares to..."
Liu Yida's gaze was fixed on Xia Weiliang, and his admiration as a man was undeniable!
Qi Chi had been smiling mysteriously since he entered.
He stopped Chu Qiao from explaining to the CEO, instead waiting on the spot to watch the show.
Liu Yida often heard 晏易双 mention Xia Weiliang, and to please the beauty, he had followed suit in denouncing her shortcomings.
Who would have thought, who would have thought that this Xia Weiliang was such a beauty!
Compared to her, 晏易双 was too ordinary, easily lost in a crowd, just a passerby!
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, I can explain this matter to you..."
Liu Yida pushed Director Du aside, stared at Xia Weiliang, and walked towards her, reaching out to hold her hand, "Miss Xia, it's a pleasure to finally meet you! I never imagined you would be so beautiful in person!"
晏易双 stood there stunned, what did this mean?
Her sugar daddy was hitting on that bitch Xia Weiliang in front of her?!
Xia Weiliang frowned, she disliked his gaze, which seemed to want to strip her alive.
She subconsciously took a step back.
Suddenly, a hard chest pressed against her back. She turned her head to see Xiao Yi standing there with a cold expression.
Liu Yida's hand had not yet touched Xia Weiliang when he pulled her into his arms and to the other side.
The atmosphere in the room became subtle. The film emperor's protective stance was too obvious!
Liu Yida was an old hand. As a fellow man, he understood perfectly what this gesture meant.
He chuckled twice, raised his head, and said unhurriedly, "I think you don't quite know who I am..."
His gaze met Xiao Yi's, and he suddenly froze.
