Seeing Lu Yu’s condition, Chi Nian felt a bit more at ease. It should be correct.
But very quickly, someone shattered that sense of calm in her heart.
“Chi Nian!”
A low, reprimanding voice rang out by her ear. Before she could even react, Chi Nian was shoved aside and fell to the ground.
“Chi Nian, are you trying to murder someone? Killing is against the law!”
Voices of agreement followed one after another.
Tsk, was this what they called “being pointed at by a thousand people”?
Compared to the one who truly needed concern—Lu Yu—she seemed more like the patient instead. Look, everyone was “concerned” about her.
Chi Nian patted the dust off her clothes and looked in the direction of the voice.
She was quite curious—at a time like this, which “Holy Mother” actually had the leisure to stand here and take the lead in preaching the law?
As a warm-hearted citizen, Doctor Chi, who had grown up immersed in the core values of socialism, did she not know that killing was illegal?
Their gazes met.
Oh, the female lead. Then it made sense.
In Chi Nian’s view, no matter what brainless remarks the female lead made, it was perfectly normal. No wonder that earlier scene of “one call, a hundred responses” had occurred.
Seeing that she was practically about to be drowned in spit, Chi Nian did not say much. Saying anything would be useless anyway. She merely gave Lin Xiao a meaningful look, then turned her head toward the director.
Among this group of people, aside from the female lead, the director held the most authority.
At present, weak, pitiful, and helpless, she could only place her hopes on the director.
Chi Nian had not expected Lu Yu to vomit at such a coincidental moment. She had just performed a rather rough physical examination, and he immediately vomited. In anyone’s eyes, those two things would definitely be connected. And in the female lead’s eyes, she was probably already stamped as a murderer.
As expected of the female lead’s devoted second male lead—he did not even forget to cause trouble for her, the supporting female character in the control group, even while being sick.
Chi Nian let out a deep sigh. The eight-character motto left behind by her predecessors who had transmigrated was indeed correct—
“Cherish life, stay away from the female lead!”
She herself was a living example of the opposite!
The director was also watching the situation closely. Standing nearby, he had clearly seen Chi Nian press twice on Lu Yu’s abdomen, and then Lu Yu immediately vomited.
He did not go as far as the others in thinking Chi Nian was trying to harm Lu Yu. In fact, for a brief moment, he even felt that this version of Chi Nian seemed unfamiliar—almost as if she were wearing a white coat. However, based on his past impression of her, he simply could not think of her in a positive light right now.
At most, she was trying to stir up some hype.
Afraid that Chi Nian might cause more trouble, the director decisively helped her out. “Chi Nian, come with me.”
Forget it. He might as well take this little ancestor away, lest she stir up more trouble. If things got out of hand, it would be the production team that suffered in the end.
At this moment, the director felt a bit fortunate. Thankfully, he had decisively turned off the live broadcast earlier. Otherwise, who knew how chaotic things would have become outside.
The others watched as the director, with a stern face, led Chi Nian aside. Quite a few of them revealed schadenfreude on their faces.
If you wanted to create hype and attract attention, you had to pick the right moment. Now look—she tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.
“Chi Nian, you…” Liu Bing looked at her and sighed, intending to offer some advice.
He had been a director for many years. In this industry, there was no one who did not want to become famous. There were even more who wanted to rise through tricks and schemes. But someone like Chi Nian—this was his first time encountering such a case.
This girl always liked to play little tricks, but none of them were clever. Every time, others could easily see through them.
He used to believe in the saying: “Minor fame depends on promotion; major fame depends on fate.” Now, he felt that to be as notorious as Chi Nian probably also depended on fate.
Not to mention anything far off—just today. Everyone wanted to take advantage of Lu Yu’s illness to gain some attention, yet when this girl stepped forward, she immediately drew all the criticism onto herself.
Before Liu Bing could finish speaking, Chi Nian interrupted him.
“Director, Lu Yu might have acute appendicitis.”
Hearing this, Liu Bing did not react immediately.
Who was speaking?
He glanced around, and in the end, his gaze landed on Chi Nian. After confirming, he realized that aside from the two of them, there was no one else nearby.
Excluding himself, that meant the one who had just diagnosed Lu Yu… was Chi Nian.
Liu Bing raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Was he overheated and confused? If Chi Nian had such ability, would she still be known in the industry as a famous “vase”?
She probably just fumbled around for a bit and randomly assigned a condition to Lu Yu—trying to attract attention again?
After thinking for a moment, Liu Bing said something seemingly unrelated. “Chi Nian, the live broadcast camera has already been turned off.”
Chi Nian felt helpless. As expected, the original owner had left too deep a fixed impression on everyone in the entertainment industry. First it was the manager, now the director—if these people did not become screenwriters, it would truly be a loss for the industry.
Letting out a breath, she thought, forget it. Fortunately, Lu Yu currently only had periumbilical pain, along with slight fever and nausea. The abdominal pain had not yet shifted to the lower right side, so the condition was still mild.
Besides, even a skilled housewife could not cook without ingredients, and even an experienced driver could not drive without a license. Former Doctor Chi, now a female actress, could only wait for the ambulance to arrive.
After thinking for a moment, Chi Nian still spoke up:
“Don’t worry. Lu Yu’s condition is mild. He’ll be fine after surgery. Of course, in his case, medication is also an option, but the first recommendation is still an appendectomy.”
After all, he was the one who had helped pull her out of Lin Xiao and the female lead’s supporters. Seeing the dense beads of sweat on the director’s forehead, Chi Nian responsibly offered some reassurance.
“Ring—ring—ring—”
Chi Nian glanced at her phone. It was her manager calling.
“Hello, Sister Wang.” She greeted the director briefly while answering the call and walked off to another spot.
Liu Bing watched her back, feeling a bit dazed. Was that really Chi Nian? Setting aside what she had just said, he had to admit—he actually felt comforted.
But… which TV drama had that line she just recited come from? It sounded quite convincing. It seemed her acting skills had indeed improved recently. If he had not known her for some time, he might have truly been fooled.
“Trending No.1? Me?” Hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Chi Nian felt confused.
Good grief. It was one thing for someone like her to make it onto the trending list—but to actually dominate the top spot?
“Heh. Open your phone and take a look yourself. Call me back after you’re done.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Shengnan hung up decisively.
Judging by how decisively her manager hung up, this trending topic was most likely negative.
With a bit of curiosity, Chi Nian scrolled through her phone.
Anything that could anger Sister Wang this much was definitely not simple.
The trending list was clear at a glance. From the title alone, one could already guess the content—
