Chapter 2313 - 37: Three Years Later: Encountering the White Lotus Again (6)

Gu Xiran:"..."

The woman definitely did it on purpose.

If it was an accidental step, she would have immediately retracted her foot and apologized, but Song Le kept stepping repeatedly, clearly intending to step my hands off the rope.

"Ah..."

The pain in my fingers was intense.

Gu Xiran was in severe pain, her small hand that was stepped on withdrew back, leaving Gu Xiran hanging mid-air with only one hand holding onto the rope.

Song Le’s lips curled up in satisfaction, humm... even if the safety measures are good enough to prevent Xiran from dying, she still won’t be able to act in this film.

...

Director Li and Sister Ping at the camera were taken aback.

Sister Ping’s heart was gripped with tension.

Once suspended in the air, Gu Xiran’s body was unstable, she took a deep breath, relying on the strength of one arm to return to the rope. Gu Xiran did not forget she was filming and then spoke to the others above.

"Indeed, the wind speed is strong today, everyone be careful, hold tight."

After speaking, Gu Xiran continued to slowly climb down step by step, simultaneously making an OK gesture.

Sister Ping sighed heavily in relief, Xiran’s previous state had scared her.

Gripping the rope well, how could it suddenly loosen?

...

Once Gu Xiran safely landed, she didn’t leave, instead she waited for everyone else to arrive.

With the director shouting "cut," Sister Ping immediately came forward to remove Xiran’s equipment.

"Tang Bao, what happened just now? How did you loosen your grip on the rope?"

Gu Xiran forced a smile at the corner of her mouth, pursing her lips:"It’s nothing... just loosened my hand a bit."

After speaking, Gu Xiran took off her gloves, her left hand joints were already red, even bleeding slightly.

Sister Ping’s expression slightly changed at the sight.

"Did someone step on you instead of you loosening your grip?"

Under normal circumstances of loosening, there wouldn’t be any injuries on the fingers.

Unless attacked externally, there would be marks.

Sister Ping’s eyes were certain, Gu Xiran nodded without denying.

"Yes, but now’s not the time to dwell on it, without evidence... we’re not in the right."

"Mm."

Sister Ping recalled Song Le was above Xiran, her sharp eyes immediately glared towards Song Le.

The damn brat actually dared to hurt Xiran, she’s courting death.

She must deal with this brat...

...

"Audition has ended, results will be out in half an hour, please wait at the waiting area for the news."

With Sister Ping’s support, Gu Xiran went into the waiting area, carefully applying ointment on Xiran’s left hand joints.

"Does it hurt?"

"It’s alright... if you still keep a stern face, I might feel bad."

Gu Xiran amused Sister Ping, prompting her to complain:"You girl, really infuriates others."

Gu Xiran chuckled softly.

Song Le changed into her long gown and walked over, expressing apologetically.

"Sorry... Xiran, didn’t hold tight earlier, accidentally stepped on you... hope you don’t mind."

Gu Xiran:"..."

"In filming such action scenes, injuries are inevitable... you should get used to it."

Sister Ping was so irritated her teeth itched, wishing she could tear her apart.

The brat.

Indeed a high-level manipulative woman.

Gu Xiran nodded, a faint curve at the corner of her mouth.

"Mm..."

"If I caused you to miss this role, I’m truly sorry, Director Li demands perfection..."

Gu Xiran:"..."

Indeed she revealed her true intention.

Gu Xiran glanced at the smug woman in front, pursing her lips.

"Mm, then we shall see..."

"Hmph..."

Song Le’s eyes filled with triumph, eager to see how long Xiran can stay triumphant.

Even if she doesn’t get this role, she absolutely can’t let Xiran get it.

...

Sister Ping was furious, while Xiran remained calm.

Filming itself cannot be smooth all the time, accidents are common.

Today maybe Song Le stepped on her hand, tomorrow could be a strong wind making her lose hold.

She instead thanks Song Le for offering her such a chance to improvise and also to test her reaction abilities.

Gu Xiran dimmed her beautiful eyes, after Sister Ping finished treating her finger injury, she changed into her own gown.

...

Half an hour later.

Director Li and the investor appeared in the waiting area, this is the audition section for the role of the second female lead, attended by international celebrities, hence both Director Li and the investor showed up together to show respect to everyone.
