"Yeah. You want to pour some on me?" Ming Shu admitted without any hesitation.

"..."

Having seen all kinds of unreasonably troublesome people who always tried to quibble, Li Shaonan had never yet met someone so unashamed. She even asked him with a smile if he wanted to pour juice on her.

If he did that, he'd only be degrading himself.

"I'm leaving, then." I'm quite a busy man.

Ming Shu walked past the two and toward a staff member who was staring straight at them. "Did you take this picture?" Ming Shu asked, holding her cell phone up.

The staff member was torn away from the handsome face of that golden thigh and looked at the photo on Ming Shu's screen. Her facial expression suddenly changed. "I... I didn't..."

Ming Shu lightly swiped the screen; another blurred picture appeared before the staff member's eyes. It was a recording of the set.

"It can be inferred from this recording that only two people were able to take a photo at this angle at that time, and clearly the other one did not have a cell phone, so it must have been you."

The staff member's face turned pale and she tried to explain. "I... I just sent it to a friend, I didn't do anything. Sister Jiang Nian, I know it was wrong. Please don't tell the director, I can't lose this job."

On a film set, taking photos without permission generally isn't allowed. Even if it weren't a mandatory rule, if Ming Shu decided to hold this woman accountable for the leak, she would be unable to defend herself.

Putting away her phone, Ming Shu smiled and said sweetly, "You're thinking too much. I'm just here to tell you to get a good shot of me next time. My pretty face was distorted. It's annoying."

"..." What? the surrounding people thought.

You spent so much time getting the surveillance video for a thorough analysis, just to tell the responsible for the leak to make you look better next time?

WTF?

Is she crazy?

Ming Shu turned around; it only took her a minute or so to talk to the staff. Li Shaonan and Ning Keqing were still standing there. It was hard to tell whether they were shocked by Ming Shu's unique style or were waiting to give her trouble.

Ming Shu fearlessly walked over. Ning Keqing acted like she was terrified, her body trembling.

Ming Shu genuinely had to praise her: This is what we call a true drama queen.

She could play the part anytime and anywhere.

Ming Shu stopped, facing the slightly gloomy gaze of Li Shaonan. She turned her eyes to Ning Keqing and said, "Miss Ning, why are you shaking? If you're sick, you have to see a doctor. Don't delay or it'll lead to big problems."

Ming Shu was so happy to gain Hatred Points.

Aileen heard this just as she arrived.

After recognizing the man standing opposite Ming Shu, she felt her blood surging and almost couldn't suppress a fervent desire to beat Jiang Nian as violently as possible.

Li Shaonan's arm tightened around Ning Keqing's shoulders. Ning Keqing seemed to want to say something, but Li Shaonan's squeeze made her shut up. She bowed her head and dutifully played the role of a newbie being bullied by the big shot in the circle.

"Miss Jiang." Li Shaonan's voice gave Aileen a shock. People nearby also shuddered and looked to Ming Shu worriedly, one after another. "You are a little different from the rumors."
