Chapter 230: She Wanted to Kill Me

Translator: Zayn_

“I’m sorry, it’s too dark. I don’t even know what I kicked-”

Zhu Jiao acted as if she had just realized what she had kicked. Her eyes were filled with pride.

But before she could finish, Song Qingyou brushed past her and “accidentally” dragged her into the water.

With a splash, both of them fell into the water.

“Hurry up and save her! Quick, quick, quick!”

Someone clapped and shouted.

The people surrounding the shore instantly reacted.

“Save, save me-”

Zhu Jiao floated in the water, looking like she was about to drown.

In fact, she could swim. Before filming by the lake, Luo Hongqing had asked them if they could swim.

Therefore, Zhu Jiao’s behavior was like an act in the eyes of others. Even Fu Chen frowned and asked, “Doesn’t she know how to swim? What is she doing?”

“I have no choice. Let’s go and pull Zhu Jiao up first.” As the assistant director said this, the expression on his face was the same as the others, as if it was written, “Zhu Jiao did it on purpose.”

However, Zhu Jiao’s situation this time was really different from what the production team had thought.

Because before Song Qingyou “accidentally” dragged her into the water, not only did she step on her foot, she even poked her body a few times with her fingers.

Zhu Jiao didn’t notice it at the time, but when she fell into the lake and started to cramp, she realized that Song Qingyou might have done something.

‘She wants to kill me! She want me to die here!1

Zhu Jiao was terrified by this realization and the cold lake water around her.

She slapped the water weakly for help, cursing Song Qingyou and the crew over and over again in her heart!

At the same time, Song Qingyou swam towards her cat.

Jiang Zhihan had been kicked too hard by Zhu Jiao, so he was still struggling.

“Zhizhi-”

Song Qingyou shouted a few times, then gritted her teeth and swam forward. She wanted to bring Zhizhi back.

But the longer she stayed in the water, the more fear she felt.

She finally caught Zhizhi and subconsciously wanted to heave a sigh of relief, but her vision became blurry.

Song Qingyou’s heart skipped a beat, and she forced herself to stay alert.

Fortunately, the crew was not slow. They noticed that Song Qingyou was not in a good state, so they moved even faster.

Song Qingyou’s eyelids didn’t close until she reached the shore.

She could still vaguely hear the voices of Luo Hongqing and the others.

“Quick, send her to the hospital.”

“Director Luo, there’s a cat in Sister Song’s arms…”

Song Qingyou tightened her arms around the cat and refused to let go.

Jiang Zhihan’s consciousness fell into darkness.

This time, he had an obvious premonition that he was going to wake up again.

Song Qingyou and Zhu Jiao both fell into the water and almost drowned. This news couldn’t be hidden at all.

That night, #Song Qingyou drowning# and #Zhu Jiao drowning# were trending.

There were also photos of the two of them being sent to the hospital.

At first, the netizens did not know what had happened. Most of them were criticizing the production team for not taking proper safety measures.

Then, many people remembered that Song Qingyou knew how to swim, so she shouldn’t have drowned. This accident definitely wasn’t that simple.

In the middle of the night, the media released the news.

The reason why Song Qingyou had drowned had a lot to do with Zhu Jiao.

Then, someone revealed that Zhu Jiao had made more than ten bad takes in one scene that night. Later on, she even kicked Song Qingyou’s cat into the lake. Song Qingyou almost had an accident while trying to save her cat.

[She NG’d more than ten times in one scene. Is she really not doing it on purpose?]

[ Zhu Jiao’s acting skills are so bad. Why did Director Luo like her?]

[ Zhizhi is such an obedient cat and often stays on set. I’ve never heard anyone say that it hurts people. Why did Zhu Jiao kick the cat?]

[You can see the big from the small. She even kick pets, maybe she’s a **** in private]

[ Zhu Jiao almost killed Sister Qingyou. She should be kicked out of the crew.]

[ The truth hasn’t been revealed yet, so how can you say that it’s Jiaojiao’s fault? Song Qingyou’s fans are so anxious to push the blame?]

Other than her fans, most of the netizens were scolding Zhu Jiao.

At the same time, in the hospital.

Zhu Jiao was only a little exhausted after being rescued, but she did not fall unconscious.

Therefore, she had basically seen all the trending searches on Weibo and all the insulting comments.

Even so, Zhu Jiao did not have much of a reaction when her manager went to the hospital to scold her.

“What exactly were you thinking?” The manager was tired of talking and finally remembered that the two of them still had to discuss countermeasures.

“I’ll arrange for you to be interviewed tomorrow morning. I don’t care how you explain yourself then.”

Zhu Jiao was not the only artiste under him. Zhu Jiao had never listened to him, so even if she was frozen, it would not be a big loss.

“Don’t worry.” Zhu Jiao waved her phone. “I’ve contacted President Shao. He said he’ll cooperate with me and get Song Qingyou to leave.”

“Then aren’t you adding fuel to the fire?” The manager frowned. “The internet is full of people scolding you, and you even want to kick her out of the production team. Are you kidding me?”

Zhu Jiao snorted. “Song Qingyou didn’t save a human; she saved a cat!”

Even if the cat was dead, would someone still want her to pay with her life?

Impossible!

The manager didn’t know what Zhu Jiao was up to, but he still listened to her suggestion and called a few more entertainment media outlets over. He even started a live broadcast.

The reporters gathered around the hospital bed, giving off an oppressive feeling.

“There are rumors that you’ve NG’d more than ten times on set. Is this news true?”

“Did you cause Song Qingyou to almost drown?”

“What do you think about the almost one-sided comments on the Internet?”

“Did you deliberately kick the cat into the lake?”

“Some netizens said that you abuse animals. Do you have anything to explain?”

Every question was filled with malice.

Zhu Jiao grabbed the blanket with both hands and looked very scared.

After her manager came forward to maintain order, she replied, “I did NG more than ten times, but it was a huge blow to me because I’ve been focusing on filming. I’ve never slacked off, and it wasn’t intentional. It’s just…”

Zhu Jiao sniffed and said with a wronged expression, “It’s just that during filming, Song Qingyou’s cat suddenly rushed out and scared me. I wasn’t in a good state at the time.”

“I don’t know what happened to the cat behind me, but it came to my spot again. The filming location was very dark, so 1 didn’t see it clearly. I thought it was a mouse next to me. I was so scared that 1 stretched my leg out, but I didn’t expect…”

At this point, Zhu Jiao started sobbing. Her eyes were like water fountains, and there were endless tears.

“Although I wasn’t in my best state for this scene, I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

She had learned her lesson this time and almost never mentioned Song Qingyou.

Therefore, it sounded like Zhu Jiao was neither explaining nor blaming anyone. Instead, she kept blaming herself and retreating in order to advance.

Zhu Jiao’s fans felt that their idol had been wronged, so they edited this explanation and posted it on various platforms.

[ Song Qingyou brought her own cat to work. Song Qingyou’s fans, what right do you have to blame Jiaojiao for NG’ing too many times?]

[ Song Qingyou was the one who was unprofessional. She jumped into the water not to save Zhu Jiao, but to save that nosy cat!]

[ If Zhu Jiao wasn’t scared by the cat, how could she have NG so many times?]

[ If Song Qingyou doesn’t want to film, then don’t. What’s with bringing a cat to disgust people?]

Public opinion was reversed in the blink of an eye.

Only a few true fans still insisted on speaking up for Song Qingyou.
