Chapter 684: Chapter 686: Unexpected Incident

He Xing bent down and scooped Xia Ning into his arms, rushing towards the Emergency Room at a speed faster than a 200-meter sprint.

The lights of the Emergency Room flickered again, and He Xing paced anxiously outside, completely losing his usual composure.

When Xia Ning had previously attempted suicide, he could comfort himself that it had nothing to do with him; but today, it was he who had been accompanying Xia Ning on a walk in the hospital, it was he who pushed her on the swing, yet he still let Xia Ning fall.

He was very worried about Xia Ning’s face, as a girl’s face is what she values most. If her face were injured, Xia Ning might find life unbearable.

Not many people were in the corridor outside the Emergency Room, all wearing worried expressions; typically, those waiting here were awaiting the outcomes of their emergencies.

For the first time in his life, He Xing felt a strong sense of guilt towards Xia Ning.

His cell phone rang; it was a message from Fu Han, saying she would be accompanying Bai Wei to try on clothes that evening, so she might not be able to make it home for dinner.

He Xing had already typed his reply, but he decided not to tell Fu Han about Xia Ning’s accident. The best scenario for the two women was to stay out of each other’s way; whenever they met, it was like needles clashing with thorns.

...

After receiving He Xing’s affirmative reply, the corners of Fu Han’s lips turned up slightly, and she felt her mood lift instantly. She no longer found the absurd scene before her laughable.

It was indeed ironic that the last advertisement she had shot before the Spring Festival had been for Jiang Ling, and now the first photo shoot after the festival was for Jiang Ling again.

Although Jiang Ling was far from being an A-list celebrity, she was still a four or five-tier superstar with a certain fan base.

This time she wasn’t shooting a commercial, but just a personal photo shoot, which in industry terms was called the first opening of business after the Spring Festival.

Jiang Ling was truly funny in her own way. She didn’t like Fu Han, yet whenever she wanted a photo shoot, she insisted on having Fu Han take the pictures herself.

Truth be told, Fu Han did not like taking pictures for Jiang Ling at all because she was pretentious and picky, which was really annoying.

But in the end, Fu Han compromised because the offer from Jiang Ling’s side was very attractive; when money talked, Fu Han conceded since she was in the business of making money—who could afford to offend it?

Moreover, it was strange that now Jiang Ling was much more polite to Fu Han than before, though nobody knew why. Even though Jiang Ling had thrown several tantrums during the shoot, strangely enough, she never directed her anger at Fu Han.

Just like now, Jiang Ling disliked the style the stylist had created for her and refused to shoot, meanwhile, the makeup artist was busily making adjustments to Jiang Ling’s hair and makeup.

It was precisely because of this that Fu Han had time to play with her phone, reminding her that she hadn’t yet told He Xing about her plans for the evening.

After finishing the chat, Fu Han casually put the phone in her pocket. She picked up a photo nearby to check the playback when suddenly, Jiang Ling’s scream broke out, "Fantastic, fantastic, that bitch Xia Ning got hurt."

Fu Han’s attention was immediately diverted as she looked up in Jiang Ling’s direction, waiting for her to continue.

Feeling Fu Han’s gaze, Jiang Ling looked back at her with a meaningful glance. "Congratulations," she said, "your rival is injured, to the face. I wonder if she’ll be disfigured."

Honestly, Fu Han truly despised Xia Ning, but her disdain for Xia Ning should be more aptly described as revulsion. She loathed Xia Ning, yet she never thought of actually harming her.

Like now, upon hearing of Xia Ning’s injury, her first reaction wasn’t joy but rather, her mood became heavier.

If she had to say how this was related to her, it was that Fu Han wondered whether Xia Ning’s injury would mean He Xing spending even more time with Xia Ning than before, leaving them no time for a relationship.

Fu Han suddenly regretted telling He Xing that he didn’t need to pick her up that evening, wondering if she hadn’t said those words, perhaps she could see if He Xing would still come looking for her at night?

Jiang Ling took out her phone and made a call. As soon as it connected, she immediately said, "Try to negotiate for me again. With Xia Ning injured, I have another chance."

Fu Han’s upbringing made her uncomfortable eavesdropping, but Jiang Ling’s call was so abrupt, made before Fu Han could prepare herself, making it difficult not to hear.

With a slight turn of her mind, she deduced that what Jiang Ling referred to must be the second part of the He Family Group’s movie "Yearning for Return." She had heard that Jiang Ling had originally wanted the second female lead, but this role was snatched by Xia Ning.

Apparently, the character of the second female lead was quite good. Even though she was a villainess, the character was substantial and more impressive than in the first part, potentially becoming a breakout role.

The reason Fu Han knew so much was all thanks to Xia Ning. When Xia Ning landed the role, she had even come to tout it to Fu Han, implying she was about to shoot another one of He Xing’s works, and this time she might shoot to fame and become a superstar.

Even after some time had passed, Fu Han still vividly remembered how despicable Xia Ning looked back then, so vile that Fu Han genuinely wanted to punch her in the face, because Xia Ning’s arrogant expression was truly detestable.

Having heard Jiang Ling’s phone call, Fu Han quietly thought to herself, if Xia Ning really doesn’t show up for the second part, then the greatest benefit for Fu Han would be that she wouldn’t have to rack her brains to shoot Xia Ning in a more flattering light.

But this thought only lingered in Fu Han’s mind for a moment before she suppressed it, feeling suddenly guilty that with Xia Ning injured, her first thought was that she wouldn’t have to shoot her anymore.

A few minutes later, Jiang Ling hung up the phone. Fu Han had been so deep in thought that, apart from Jiang Ling’s first sentence, she hadn’t heard a word of the rest of the conversation.

What interrupted Fu Han’s reverie was Jiang Ling approaching her to speak, "Fu Han, let’s make a deal."

Fu Han immediately stopped her untimely daydreaming and, with wide eyes, stared at Jiang Ling, asking with both alertness and confusion, "What deal?"

Jiang Ling extended a slender, graceful finger to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, a simple gesture that came across as seductively graceful.

A smile gradually appeared on Jiang Ling’s cheeks as she said, "I’ve heard you’re quite close to He Xing. How about you speak to him and let me play the second female lead in ’Yearning for Return’?"

"Ah?" Fu Han was so surprised that her cherry lips parted in astonishment, "Why are you asking me to do this? You should have your own agent contact them, they’re the professionals."
