Chapter 85
"Have you forgotten about picking up Bai Ji?" Yan Yuan said bluntly.
Bai Chenxi was incredibly busy all day, overwheld by the contract he signed while drunk the previous night.
When Yan Yuan ntioned it, he realized he had indeed forgotten sothing very important.
"Okay, I’ll be right there." Bai Chenxi hurriedly put down what he was holding.
In the parking lot, Yan Yuan was already in the driver’s seat.
Bai Chenxi got into the back seat, suddenly rembering that this seat now belonged to Yan Yuan.
"Yueyue, how was today’s shoot?" Bai Chenxi asked, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Seeing how exhausted he looked, Yan Yuan nodded, "Pretty good. Except for soone who’s not."
"What? Who’s not? Is soone giving you trouble?" Bai Chenxi instinctively thought of Su ili.
Yan Yuan hit the gas and said, "I’m not sure if it’s a problem from my side, but it seems Chu Chen got disfigured."
"What?" Bai Chenxi was taken aback.
He was a major investor in this drama, contributing an additional five hundred million.
Chu Chen was not only a widely acclaid actor but also soone he considered a cash cow. If he were disfigured...
It would be a huge problem; the drama’s schedule couldn’t be changed, and there was no one more suitable than him.
Yan Yuan didn’t expect him to be so agitated and explained, "My box of cushion foundation was sent for testing. If it turns out problematic, it ans soone is trying to sabotage . Then the makeup artist kindly offered it to Chu Chen, which led to his disfigurent."
"Why are you okay then?" Bai Chenxi asked directly, getting to the crux of the issue.
Yan Yuan glanced at him through the rearview mirror with a look of disdain, "I’m immune to all poisons, a re trifle can’t harm ."
Bai Chenxi was taken aback, caught between amusent and disbelief.
This is indeed Yan Yuan; she’s different from everyone else.
Yan Yuan first drove to pick up Bai Ji, and then went straight to the hospital.
For Yan Yuan’s safety, Bai Chenxi had her remove her makeup on the spot at the hospital so that the leftover makeup residues could be tested.
Only then did the two of them take Bai Ji to see Chu Chen.
In Chu Chen’s hospital room, Zheng Zong was worried and anxious.
Suddenly hearing the door open, his mood was disrupted as he said, "Wasn’t it said that Chu Chen needs peace to recuperate, no visits allowed?"
Only, when he turned and saw that it was Bai Chenxi entering.
He imdiately fell silent and quickly assud a respectful deanor, stepping forward, "Mr. Bai, what brings you here?"
"Can’t I check on my employee?" Bai Chenxi walked past Zheng Zong and approached Chu Chen.
Chu Chen, at this mont, was almost entirely bandaged except for his eyes.
"Mr. Bai!" Chu Chen tried to sit up, but Bai Chenxi stopped him.
"Is it serious?" Bai Chenxi asked, his tone unusually gentle.
Chu Chen shook his head, but Zheng Zong hurriedly explained, "BOSS, how could it not be serious? Look, his whole face is swollen. We don’t even know what kind of dicine it is, it’s so potent that now even his neck and shoulders have red bumps."
Thinking of Yan Yuan using those items, Bai Chenxi felt a cold shiver of fear.
Who could be so malicious to use sothing so dangerous?
Soon, the results of the cushion foundation test ca out.
The cushion contained multiple ingredients that irritate the skin, with an initial determination of at least three different types of allergenic wild resin.
Upon hearing this news, Yan Yuan was more certain than ever that soone was framing her.
Then the test results for the makeup residues left on her face ca in, and they were identical to the foundation in the cushion.
Yan Yuan was full of anger as she said, "Chu Chen, you shouldn’t have touched up your makeup with mine back then."
"I saw with my own eyes that the cushion was used by you. Why is your face okay?" Chu Chen couldn’t understand.
Yan Yuan glanced at Zheng Zong, and seeing no one else around, she said, "I’ve been immune to poisons since I was a kid, how could I fear such toxins?"
"Immune to poisons? Is there really such a constitution?" Zheng Zong exclaid in astonishnt.
"The priority now is to quickly find out who poisoned my cushion. Will Chu Chen’s face recover?" Yan Yuan asked.
Zheng Zong shook his head, "There are too many allergenic elents; it’s hard to treat. But after applying ointnt earlier, it’s not itchy anymore."
At this ti, Bai Chenxi was already on the phone, instructing the police to pursue the matter fully.
Fengying Company.
Yan Yuan’s makeup artist was pushed into the restroom by three girls.
One of the girls smiled and said, "I think you’re the one who did this, aren’t you?"
The makeup artist was extrely aggrieved, "No, I don’t know. I rember you ca by when Yan Yuan went to the restroom!"
"Really? Who can prove I was there?" The girl smiled and said, "I’m telling you, everyone will insist that you intentionally tried to harm Yan Yuan and Chu Chen. If Chu Chen is really disfigured, you’ll go to jail!"
The makeup artist was instantly dumbfounded with fear.
She had not been working long and had never encountered such a terrifying situation.
"This is slander, I’ll tell the police. It’s you, it must be you who wanted to harm Yan Yuan! But you ended up hurting Chu Chen."
"Evidence?"
"I am the witness!"
"Raving nonsense, who’ll believe you!"
The makeup artist suddenly felt terrified.
"I’ll give you a good solution." The girl who intended to harm Yan Yuan threatened the makeup artist, "Just accuse Yan Yuan of deliberately harming Chu Chen."
"No, I can’t do that."
"Why not? If you accuse her, we can ruin her reputation. Then, you can beco the exclusive makeup artist for our Miss Su."
"What are you trying to do?" The makeup artist was utterly confused at this point.
"Think about what to tell the police. If you accuse us, you have no evidence. If you fra Yan Yuan, we can offer you a bright future."
With that said, the three left.
The makeup artist was left alone, emotionally turbulent.
By now, the news of Chu Chen’s disfigurent had been leaked sohow.
The news outside was all about Chu Chen’s disfigurent.
And the culprit behind the scenes was being severely criticized.
After seeing Chu Chen, Bai Chenxi and Yan Yuan returned to the company to address the matter of Chu Chen’s disfigurent.
Outside the company, there were crowds of reporters.
Yan Yuan had just appeared when she was imdiately surrounded by three or four reporters, "Excuse , are you newcor Yan Yuan?"
"Yan Yuan, why did you want to harm Chu Chen?"
"It’s said you held a grudge against him for not reciprocating your affection. Is that true?"
Yan Yuan was dazed by the reporters’ questions.
"Yan Yuan, do you like Chu Chen?"
"Yan Yuan, did you consider the consequences of disfiguring Chu Chen?"
"As a newcor so malicious, how did ’Sword Immortal’ end up choosing Yan Yuan?"
At this ti, Bai Chenxi was also being surrounded.
"Mr. Bai, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
"Is it true that Yan Yuan deliberately hard Chu Chen?"
"How is Chu Chen doing, will he be permanently disfigured, unable to act again?"
Facing a barrage of questions, he appeared much calr than Yan Yuan.
Bai Chenxi glanced over the assembled reporters, his tone icy as he said, "No matter who’s at fault in this matter, we will find out the truth and give Chu Chen an explanation."
After a while, Yan Yuan cald down.
Facing the reporters, all trying to shove microphones in her face,
though she was furious, she remained calm and stated, "An innocent person will be proven innocent. I’m not sure where all these rumors originated from. But please allow the police so ti. They’ll surely uncover the truth. As for whether I like Chu Chen or not, many people are Chu Chen’s fans, myself included. He’s now lying in a hospital bed, and I’m worried about him. As for the culprit, they will be brought to justice. At that ti, Chu Chen will receive justice, and I will be cleared."
Yan Yuan’s statent effectively silenced the reporters.
So still wanted to ask more, but Yan Yuan turned, squeezing through the crowd and into the protective circle of security, heading back into the company.
The reporters looked at each other in dismay.
They expected that a newcor like Yan Yuan would be flustered in front of the caras.
But to their surprise, she not only responded fluently, but also effectively shut them down.
She neither admitted to framing Chu Chen nor said she didn’t like him, instead stating that she’s a fan of Chu Chen, and repeatedly asked for the police to vindicate her na.
Although, she said this...
The entertainnt news and newspaper headlines soon pointed fingers at Yan Yuan.
News even fabricated stories, claiming Yan Yuan loved Chu Chen and, having been rejected, resorted to sabotage!
Predictably, Chu Chen’s millions of fans lashed out at her viciously.
So fans even carried banners to Fengying’s headquarters, demanding Yan Yuan get out of the entertainnt industry.
Online forums popped up to denounce her, saying if Yan Yuan took part in "Sword Immortal," they would give the drama poor ratings, and refuse to allow a malicious woman to play the lovely Zhu Luo.
