The Movie Queen's Mouth is Blessed - Chapter 41

In the end, Li Biying said, “Acting is my passion, and I will continuously strive to improve. I will work harder to hone my acting skills and continue down this path.”

This Weibo post was immediately pushed to the trending topics, and Li Biying’s loyal fans all came out to cheer her on—

“Yingying, you’re the best; keep it up!”

“Admitting and correcting mistakes is the best way forward. Thank you all for giving my sister this opportunity. I’m looking forward to seeing her change!”

“Keep it up, we’re with you!”

Clearly, Li Biying’s company still supported her, buying her trending topics and hot searches to help her resolve the situation. After all, this was her chance to make a comeback.

Not long after Li Biying posted, other artists from her company also voiced their support. Some directors who had previously worked with her also forwarded her Weibo, praising her acting skills and potential.

This trending topic stayed on Weibo’s hot search list for a whole day before gradually being overshadowed by other artists’ updates, but it was already enough.

Li Biying came to the production set the second day after the issue was resolved.

“Sister Li is here.”

“Days without seeing you, you’ve lost weight.”

The actors on set greeted her warmly as if nothing had happened. No, they were even more enthusiastic than before.

No one expected that Li Biying, who seemed to be on the verge of being ruined by the “diva” incident, would make a stunning comeback, not only earning forgiveness from the audience but also attracting a wave of new fans.

Indeed, Li Biying gained over two million new followers because of this incident.

Perhaps it was because her family background was exposed, and her image as a wealthy and beautiful heiress made many netizens envious. Even her focus on material comfort showed her true character as a rich heiress.

“Yes, hello, everyone.”

Unlike before, Li Biying didn’t respond with a high chin and indifference. Instead, she smiled faintly and nodded. Though she still wasn’t overly enthusiastic, this was a significant improvement from her usual demeanor.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

Li Biying’s assistant, Liu Liu, held several bags and started handing them out, “These are cookies that Sister Li made herself. Please try them.”

Each bag contained only a dozen cookies with bits of nuts on top. The pink bags looked very cute.

This surprised everyone, and they thanked her as they accepted the bags.

Jiang Xiaobai also received a bag, which she put in her purse. At that moment, she noticed Li Biying glancing her way.

She thought Li Biying might come over to talk to her, but Li Biying just glanced and then looked away.

“Hey, I’m… the messenger. You can leave it there; I’ll pick it up later.”

Ming Zhu received a call and was still in a daze after hanging up.

“Zhu Zhu, go get the package. The items are mine.”

“Alright, sure!”

Ming Zhu, who had nothing to do at the moment, quickly went to retrieve it.

Jiang Xiaobai still had scenes to shoot, so she asked Zhu Zhu to keep the items and return them to the hotel.

Today, she and Li Biying didn’t have any scenes together, but during the preparation, Jiang Xiaobai observed from a distance. She noticed that Li Biying entered her acting state faster than before, and her overall demeanor had changed.

Indeed, adversity makes one grow. Suppose she had faced such a situation a few years ago. After so much training, she might have become a true powerhouse in the industry.

After shooting the last scene, Jiang Xiaobai changes out of her costume and walks out when Li Biying approaches her.

As they passed each other, Li Biying stopped.

“Thank you for that interview…”

The last two words were almost inaudible, tinged with a slight, nearly imperceptible nervousness.

Without waiting for Jiang Xiaobai’s reaction, Li Biying quickened her pace and walked into her makeup room.

Jiang Xiaobai watched Li Biying’s retreating back and chuckled softly before leaving.

“Sister Xiao, what are these pendants for?”

At the hotel, Jiang Xiaobai opened the package, and Ming Zhu, who was by her side, was curious.

“To store things.”

Jiang Xiaobai had selected these small pendants in different colors, with male and female styles. The male pendants were black crosses, and the female were rose gold petals. All of them had lids that could be opened to store small items. She had bought quite a few, about a hundred.

She chose the best materials, made of pure silver, which weren’t cheap.

Whether used as a bag or phone charms, bracelets, necklaces, anklets, or waist chains, they don’t cause discomfort when worn close to the body.

Although the talismans were made of paper, they had a waterproof effect when infused with spiritual energy. They could withstand fire for a short time, but not if exposed for too long.

In short, they were very convenient to use and store daily.

She had bought them to have on hand. If she wanted to give someone a talisman, she could include a pendant, making it look more presentable.

Since she knew that Tao Qi, the head of DS, would give his wife a protective charm, Jiang Xiaobai chose the female-style petal pendant and carefully placed the already prepared protective charm inside.

“Please send this to the address tomorrow morning.”

Jiang Xiaobai handed the pendant to Ming Zhu and took out two more, “These are for you and Sister Ran. Give this to her when you go back to your room. Remember, always wear them. They are protective charms, and wearing them can keep you safe.”

Ming Zhu’s eyes lit up.

Protective charms!

Ming Zhu and Dong Ran were at the manor during the advertisement shoot. They knew that Jiang Xiaobai had escaped a crisis thanks to the “protective charm given by an elder.” They had been eager to have one, but knowing how valuable and rare they were, they hadn’t asked for one.

They hadn’t expected Sister Xiao to offer them one!

Ming Zhu was overjoyed, but she had a small doubt—

Strange, Sister Xiao had been at the production set for days, and she hadn’t seen her go out or meet anyone from home. Where did she get these charms?

However, this thought flashed through her mind, and she didn’t want to pry. Gratefully, she accepted the pendants.

“Sister Xiao, you should ask the elder how much it costs. I need to pay you!”

Ming Zhu was excited. Her father worked at a construction site, where the job was physically demanding and dangerous. He was also getting older and had many health issues. She had always been worried about him getting hurt at work.

With this protective charm, her father would be safe, and she and her mother could rest easier.

However, she knew she couldn’t take these charms for free. Relatives had gone to temples to seek charms from masters, and the prices varied, but they were never given away for free.

“We’re family; why talk about money? Just work hard for me, and consider this as your reward.” Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

Ming Zhu tried to refuse for a long time, but Jiang Xiaobai insisted, so she finally gave in.
