Why are you trying to steal her destiny? She's the little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect!

Chapter 208: Conflict

The director was overjoyed.

Finally, I can get rid of this trouble openly and honestly.

Although reshooting is a bit of a hassle, it's better than continuing to shoot like this.

"What does this mean?" Qingqing asked incredulously.

The dramas are all arranged for her, what does it mean if they don't give her any acting roles?

The director said with a stern face, "The investors are demanding a replacement."

"why?"

Qingqing looked on in disbelief.

Those around them, however, were secretly delighted.

The director explained, "Our short film has just been taken over by the new investors."

The original investors couldn't sustain the business due to funding issues.

The new investors are not only generous, but they have also increased their investment.

Even a fool would know which one to choose.

And they only had one request: to replace Qingqing.

Any cute little girl will do.

"Her role is gone, do you know what happened?" Xiao Jiu Jiu asked curiously, squatting in the corner.

Coal Ball flicked its tail: "Look at her face; you should be able to tell easily now."

"whee."

Xiao Jiu Jiu scratched her head: "It's too far away, I can't see it."

"I'll give you another swipe, you little rascal," Coal Ball snorted, pressing its paw on Little Nine's leg.

Xiao Jiujiu forced a smile: "It seems it really is because of that person who lost their role."

The issue of investment.

Qingqing on the other end went crazy: "Ah! I don't believe it!"

She clutched her head and screamed, her voice shrill and painful to the ears.

The director comforted her, saying, "Qingqing, calm down. This decision was made by the new higher-ups, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"I won't listen! You're all targeting me! You've gone too far, you're so mean! I want Dad to expose your evil deeds on short videos!" Qingqing was just a child after all, and she couldn't keep things to herself. She shouted that she would make everyone pay.

"Qingqing!"

Suppressing his anger, the director said with a hint of impatience, "This decision was made by the investors. It wasn't directed at you; it's just that you're not suitable!"

"Why did you cut my scenes! We paid for the filming! I'm the female lead in this drama!" Qingqing cried so hard her makeup was ruined, and she took out her phone to call her family.

Soon after, Qingqing's mother arrived.

Upon arriving, she saw her precious daughter crying so pitifully. Qingqing's mother spoke coldly, her voice sharp and sarcastic: "What do you mean by cutting my daughter's scenes?"

We signed a contract! My daughter is the lead actress! How could this show be filmed without her?

I urge you not to break the law!

"We will fully compensate for the breach of contract," the director said calmly.

Now that he has money, he can hold his head high!

"And who's going to play the female lead?"

Qingqing's mother retorted, her tone quite disdainful: "If you ask me, there's no way you can find someone as talented as Qingqing. You should just keep having Qingqing act!"

The director's face immediately turned several shades darker.

Why is Qingqing's mom just like Qingqing? She's completely unreasonable.

He took a deep breath and tried to soften his tone: "Qingqing's mom, who the female lead is is none of your business."

You know perfectly well who the original investors were; if you continue to work with them, it's questionable whether the project will even be completed.

If you continue to cause trouble, I'll have to call the police.

Qingqing's Mom: ...

Qingqing tugged at her mother's sleeve: "Mom, I want to act! I want to act! I can't be outdone! I want to be a big star!"

"Qingqing, you should ask your father about this..."

"Shut up!"

Before the director could finish speaking, he was glared at by Qingqing's mother.

Realizing something was amiss, the director changed his tone in a serious voice, saying, "If you want to make a film, you can ask your father."

Qingqing's mother glared at the director: "Now that you know our family has lost, you're bullying us like this?"

"This isn't bullying, is it? Considering Qingqing's father's situation..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qingqing's mother fell silent.

She lowered her eyes, a hint of panic flashing in them, as if a sore spot had been touched.

"Mom, let's ask Dad to teach them a lesson. You bullied me!" Qingqing tugged at her mother's sleeve, looking aggrieved.

Qingqing stopped nagging and patted her head, saying, "Let's go."

"Uh-huh!"

After everyone left, Xiao Jiu Jiu ran out from the side, "Hehe, that was really interesting, I didn't expect to see her run into a brick wall!"

Coal Ball, looking like he was enjoying the drama, said: "What do you think? Are you going to take the role and act in the movie next door?"

“No, one take is enough. Filming the same script twice is too much of a stretch.” Xiao Jiu Jiu refused without hesitation.

The two walked to the door, where Chang Hongfeng was already waiting.

Xiao Jiu Jiu got into the car and was about to leave when she heard the noise from next door.

"Sister Hongfeng, please stop for a moment."

Chang Hongfeng stopped the car and looked at Xiao Jiujiu with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong, Miss Jiu?"

"Shhh."

Xiao Jiujiu raised her finger to signal her to be quiet, then secretly listened to Qingqing's phone call.

Qingqing was extremely agitated: "You stinky dad, didn't you say you'd invest in my TV series? Why did the director replace me?!"

"Qingqing, don't be stubborn with your dad, give me back my phone!" Qingqing's mother looked at Qingqing with a helpless expression.

Unfortunately, Qingqing is at an age where she won't listen to anything: "I don't want to, you stinky daddy, tell me why!"

"Honey, let's talk about this when we get home. I'm busy right now."

Then, Qingqing was about to smash her phone when her mother stopped her in time: "Don't be willful, let's go."

"I do not!"

Seeing this, Xiao Jiujiu grinned mischievously: "Alright, Sister Hongfeng, let's go."

"Ah."

[You naughty little girl, laughing so happily when you see others suffering!]

"That's what Coal Ball said jokingly."

Little Nine-Nine snorted in dissatisfaction and whispered, "I am a bad guy! So what!"

"Get your head away from me!" Coal Ball slapped Little Jiu Jiu's face with its paw, pushing her away a little.

Chang Hongfeng said from the front, "Miss Jiu, if you are sleepy, you can take a nap first. It's still a bit of a distance from here to the hotel."

"Has Brother Ye gotten off work?" Xiao Jiu Jiu asked curiously.

Glancing at the time, Chang Hongfeng nodded: "President Ye should already be waiting for you in the private room at this hour."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister Hongfeng."

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled at her.

Chang Hongfeng saw Xiao Jiujiu's sweet smile in the rearview mirror and smiled slightly.

Little Jiu Jiu rested her head on the chair's pillow, her little hands stroking the soft fur of the coal ball, and closed her eyes for a light sleep.

The neon lights outside the car window quickly disappeared into the distance. Xiao Jiu Jiu looked up and glanced outside.

Before I knew it, Xiao Jiu Jiu had fallen asleep.

"boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, the loud crash of the vehicle collision woke Xiao Jiu Jiu up.

She leaned forward due to inertia, and the seatbelt ended up around her neck.

Luckily, she was holding onto the seatbelt; otherwise, she might have been scratched.

"What happened, Sister Hongfeng?" Xiao Jiujiu frowned slightly and looked at Chang Hongfeng outside.

Chang Hongfeng's expression was not good, and he gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands: "It seems that we hit someone."

"Hit someone?"

Xiao Jiu Jiu was clearly skeptical: "Were you speeding?"

"This is the main urban area, and there are a lot of vehicles. I'm not driving very fast, only forty."

"I even slowed down just before the red light." Chang Hongfeng really couldn't understand how he had hit someone.

[A stroke of luck!]

The coal ball, which hadn't spoken until now, suddenly meowed.

Xiao Jiujiu understood.

She unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and jumped out: "Where is he?"

"Huh? Did I bump into you?"

Little Jiu Jiu watched curiously.

Under the streetlights, a woman in business attire was seen slumped in front of a vehicle, clutching her knee and looking pained.

She was clutching one knee, repeatedly crying out, "It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"

"My knees feel like they're going to shatter!"

The briefcase and its contents were scattered all over the floor, looking as if it had just been thrown out.

People passing by stopped to watch and kept their distance.

It appears that someone even took out their phone to record the video.

After all, this scene looks exactly like a 'car accident scene'.

Xiao Jiu Jiu stroked her chin thoughtfully: "Were you really hit? Or were you trying to stage an accident?"

"You're just a young child, yet you have such a malicious mind. You think such things about me." The woman scolded Xiao Jiu Jiu.

Chang Hongfeng got out of the car.

This matter couldn't be left for Miss Jiu to handle; she had already called the traffic police.

Approaching the woman, Chang Hongfeng asked sincerely, "Hello, how are your injuries? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"

"Tch, what kind of junk are you driving? What are you so arrogant about? Don't you have eyes?"

The woman raised her head, her eyebrows furrowed with anger.

She hugged her knees and roared, "It's all your fault! You've snagged my stockings and scraped my knees!"

"So, what are your thoughts on this?" Chang Hongfeng's attitude was incredibly kind.

The man rolled his eyes and said, "No need for the hospital, I don't have time to deal with you."

I'm a very busy person. Please leave your information, and I'll have my lawyer contact you shortly to discuss the specifics of the compensation.

Chang Hongfeng: ...

Don't they look like innocent victims?

Little Jiu Jiu blinked her big eyes and briefly glanced at them.

The woman's stockings were snagged on her knees, with only a tiny bit of friction at the knee, almost invisible.

Her skin was still very good, like a freshly peeled egg, white and tender.

Such a person wouldn't even have a speck of dust on them, let alone get a minor scrape on their leg from being bumped.

Not only that, this person also smelled of perfume. The perfume wasn't cheap, but it was a mixed scent that wasn't very pleasant.

"Lawyer? Compensation?"

Xiao Jiujiu chuckled, her voice carrying a profound meaning.

She walked up to the woman and looked at her. "Big sister, you don't seem to be injured."

As she spoke, she reached out to touch the woman.

The woman tried to slap her away, but she dodged it.

She was furious: "Kid, don't you dare touch me, or I'll make you pay!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled and said, "But your knees aren't hurt, and our car didn't hit you. You fell to the ground by yourself."

People around whispered:

"Why would someone like that try to stage an accident? They seem to be living a better life than me!"

"Maybe these are all fake smokescreens?"

"Is it some kind of cheesy skit plot?"

"I don't see any cameras, what's going on?"

The woman's face twisted slightly as she yelled, "What do you mean 'fell on your own'! Your car scratched me, and now I can't leave!"

Her face turned ashen, and she deliberately raised her voice.

"Oh?"

Xiao Jiu Jiu, with an innocent look on her face, continued to ask, "You said you fell and only scraped your knee, what about the rest of your body?"

Was the fall really that perfectly timed?

After hearing this, she didn't know what to say.

"See? It was done on purpose!"

"What kind of junk car is this? Is it fun to stage an accident?"

"Alphard, a minivan."

The whispers of those around me were like a curse.

People were looking at her with some strange expressions.

The woman felt very uneasy being watched by everyone.

She glared at Xiao Jiu Jiu: "It's all your fault. What do you know about the law, you little brat?"

"You hit me, so compensation is your responsibility; otherwise, you'll go to jail!"

"You've gone too far..." Chang Hongfeng was about to reason with the person when Xiao Jiujiu stopped him.

She pointed to the front of the car: "There are cameras there, and there are cameras all around. I don't quite understand why you're trying to stage an accident."

If all else fails, a traffic police officer can come over with a phone call and will help you resolve the issue.

"What camera?!"

The woman clearly hadn't thought that far ahead.

Shedding her arrogant demeanor, the woman looked up, her lips trembling slightly, "This, this..."

The people around her looked at her with even more hostility.

"You're lucky, I won't call the police. I'm leaving!" the woman said, turning to go.

Chang Hongfeng suddenly spoke up: "Wait, did they say you could leave?"

She grabbed the woman's hand: "Don't go, the traffic police will be here soon. Let's resolve our problem quickly."

"I didn't say I was going to call the police, you called the police yourselves." The woman said, turning to leave in her high heels.

After taking a couple of steps, it was clear that there was nothing wrong with her legs.

But Chang Hongfeng still insisted on holding her wrist: "No, let's wait for the police to arrive first."

The rest of the time is spent with the 'victim' trying to leave, but the 'perpetrator' not letting her go.

When the traffic police arrived and learned what had happened, they took the person away immediately.

Watching the woman leave in a disheveled state, Xiao Jiujiu snorted, "Let's go, Sister Hongfeng."

"Ah."

Once in the car, Chang Hongfeng chuckled and said, "Miss Jiu, next time don't get out of the car. I'll handle it myself. Don't provoke anyone."

"Once you become famous, a lot of trouble will come knocking on your door."

Xiao Jiu Jiu's tone was soft, but her voice carried a hint of pride: "I'm not afraid, anyway, I don't want to be bullied like this."

If someone deliberately tries to stage an accident, you should immediately retaliate.

Chang Hongfeng frowned: "I feel like there's something wrong with this, but I can't figure it out right now."

The car door closed, and the car drove away.

From the dark alley entrance, a man's deep, angry roar could be faintly heard: "Useless trash, it's all gone."

"Can't you find a more sophisticated way to stage an accident?"

"I'm sorry, boss, I couldn't hold her up. She's almost at that hotel."

"Yes, yes, we'll definitely be more careful next time."

The man was bowing and scraping.

After hanging up the phone, the man's sinister gaze lingered on the spot where Xiao Jiu Jiu and her group's vehicle had left.

Meanwhile, in the coffee shop on the other side, a man was looking at a picture he had taken on his phone.

The young girl was full of energy and resolved the matter with a smile.

"Okay, okay, this person fits the bill..."

He sent the video he filmed to someone...
