Chapter 221: Chapter 221 - 221: I’m Not Afraid of Cats

Translator: Zayn_

In Zhao Yingnan’s opinion, this question was equivalent to a leader asking his subordinates if his temper was bad.

The result was that the leader would always be unhappy.

If you answered no, the leader would think that you were not telling the truth and would not be happy.

Zhao Yingnan subconsciously looked at Song Qingyou and gave her a pleading look.

Song Qingyou felt that Zhong Jiayin was different from the rumors, so she probed, “Sister Yingnan, why don’t you tell the truth?”

Her words attracted the attention of the other two.

Zhao Yingnan’s eyes widened, and her shocked expression seemed to say, “Why did you say it out loud? Shouldn’t you be mouthing it?”

Zhong Jiayin was expressionless, so no one could tell what she was thinking.

“I think Ms. Zhong wants to hear the truth,” Song Qingyou explained without changing her expression.

Zhao Yingnan glanced back at Zhong Jiayin. Seeing that she did not refute, she said, “I didn’t mean to say that Ms. Zhong likes to be angry. It’s just that when I came to the dressing room just now, I heard Zhu Jiao chatting with the crew. She even told them that Ms. Zhong was in a bad mood today and asked them to be on their toes. Otherwise, they would definitely lose their jobs.”

Zhu Jiao told the crew about this, and while she received their gratitude, she also confirmed the rumors that Zhong Jiayin had a bad temper.

In addition, Zhong Jiayin did change assistants frequently, so no one thought that Zhu Jiao was exaggerating.

The rumors about Zhong Jiayin being difficult to get along with had spread like this.

Zhong Jiayin wasn’t a fool. When she heard Zhao Yingnan’s words, she immediately figured it out.

“How many times has Zhu Jiao said this in private?” she asked with a cold face.

Zhao Yingnan shook her head. “I’ve only heard it three or four times.”

Even Zhao Yingnan had heard it three or four times. Zhu Jiao had privately told the crew many times probably!

Zhong Jiayin’s expression turned even uglier.

In her eyes, Zhu Jiao was just a fool. She could not even be considered a friend.

She didn’t expect Zhu Jiao to be so bold!

When Zhao Yingnan saw this, she didn’t know whether to leave or stay.

Just as she was about to ask Song Qingyou for help, Luo Hongqing’s voice came from outside.

“Everyone should be here, right? Hurry up and do Jiayin and the others’ makeup. There’s a newcomer joining the crew today.”

It sounded like he was talking to the makeup artist who had just returned from breakfast.

Fu Chen, the male lead of Murder of the Rose, entered the dressing room along with the voice.

The man had a warm smile on his face, like a neighborhood brother. It was easy for people to have a good impression of him. His exquisite facial features were unforgettable. He looked like a young man sitting by the classroom window, easily moving the hearts of young girls.

With such a young appearance, it was no wonder that he was almost forty years old, yet was invited by Luo Hongqing to play a role of someone in his early twenties.

Fu Chen greeted Zhong Jiayin familiarly.

The two of them had worked together a few times before.

Then he walked straight up to Song Qingyou and smiled.

“Little…”

Before she could say the word ‘junior apprentice’, he was interrupted by Song Qingyou’s light cough.

“Good morning, Brother Fu.”

“Good morning, Qingyou.” Fu Chen changed his tone.

“I brought you a welcome gift. 1’11 get my assistant to bring it to you later,” He whispered after greeting her.

When Song Qingyou entered the set yesterday, Fu Chen wasn’t there.

This was the first time they had met.

“How can 1 do that? I didn’t even prepare anything for Brother Fu…”

“No need.” Fu Chen raised his hand. “I brought this for you. It’s a set of skincare products that 1 brought back when 1 went to shoot an advertisement overseas. 1 didn’t spend any money, so don’t worry about it.”

Seeing that Song Qingyou didn’t respond, he added, “If you really treat me as an outsider, I’ll be unhappy…”

Halfway through his sentence, he looked down and met a pair of big dark green eyes.

“F*ck-”

Fu Chen was shocked. When he came back to his senses, he was already three meters away.

“Pfft-”

Someone in the dressing room suddenly laughed.

The two of them looked at Zhao Yingnan at the same time, and the latter shook her head.

Then, the three of them turned to look at Zhong Jiayin, the only person who could have made a sound.

Zhong Jiayin crossed her arms. “Why are you looking at me? Did you think 1 was laughing just now?”

The three of them were speechless.

They hadn’t even said why they were staring at her, and Zhong Jiayin had already mentioned someone laughing. Wasn’t this just confessing without a fight?!

Zhao Yingnan and Song Qingyou weren’t familiar with Zhong Jiayin, so they naturally wouldn’t say anything.

Fu Chen was different. He curved his lips, obviously wanting to say something.

Zhong Jiayin, who had realized that she had made a fool of herself, sneered.

“It’s just a cat, yet you’re so scared!”

Receiving Song Qingyou’s probing gaze, Fu Chen blurted out, “I’m not afraid of cats. I just don’t want cats to come near me.”

“Isn’t that fear?”

“It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s just that… I don’t want to get close to cats.”

The three of them were speechless.

Didn’t that mean the same thing?

Fu Chen continued to struggle. “Anyway, I’m not afraid. I just don’t want the cat to come near me. Qingyou, you have to take good care of your cat on set…” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiang Zhihan looked at the man’s obedient expression and suddenly lost his vigilance.

To think that he was worried that Fu Chen would be the same as Yu Muhuai, and that he might have ulterior motives towards Song Qingyou.

After all, he was so attentive that he gave her a gift on their first meeting.

Now it seemed that Song Qingyou would never like Fu Chen.

Zhu Jiao, who had just come in, heard Fu Chen’s words and saw that he was so far away from Song Qingyou that he was almost leaning against the corner of the wall. Her intuition told her that this was a great opportunity to make things difficult for Song Qingyou.

Thus, she stepped forward to uphold justice.

“Teacher Fu is so afraid of cats. Song Qingyou, why aren’t you sending your cat away? If you scare Teacher Fu, how can you afford it?”

Fu Chen tried his best not to let others know that he was afraid of cats.

However, as soon as Zhu Jiao entered, as if she was afraid that no one could hear her, her voice was so loud that half of the production team could hear her.

Fu Chen’s face darkened.

“Who said I’m afraid of cats?” he asked with a straight face when he saw the crew flocking to watch the show. “Who told you I’m afraid of cats?”

Zhu Jiao was stunned.” But just now…”

“I just don’t want cat fur on my clothes.” Fu Chen reacted and concluded that Zhu Jiao was here for Song Qingyou. He deliberately said, “Qingyou’s cat is cute, why would 1 be scared? Please don’t slander me.”

Zhu Jiao’s face turned green. She never thought that Fu Chen would be willing to support Song Qingyou. This was the first time they had met, right?

Moreover, she was standing at the door of the dressing room just now. How could she not have heard the commotion inside?

Fu Chen was clearly afraid of cats!

However, no matter how she explained, no one would believe her.

Seeing that the people around her were looking at her with increasingly strange gazes, Zhu Jiao quickly asked Zhong Jiayin, “Sister Zhong, you just said that Teacher Fu is afraid of cats…”

Zhong Jiayin had always said what she wanted to say, and Zhu Jiao thought that she would do the same this time. As long as she said or heard it, she would not deny it.

However, she miscalculated this time. Zhong Jiayin looked at her calmly and sneered, “Zhu Jiao, sometimes I really don’t know if what you say is true or false..”
