A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return
chapter-1301

In fact, she had some suspicions in her heart that maybe it wasn't entirely due to her physique problems.

When she was filming that scene, the staff didn't reveal much and only said to her, "The script has been temporarily modified to add a scene where you are tied to the room. You just need to be scared and scream."

Jin Ling'er had agreed but didn't expect them to set a fire outside the room. The whole room was burning, and she didn't know if it was a filming effect or something really unexpected. She was so pale and terrified that she screamed for help. The tongue of fire was close at hand, and she could feel the hot temperature and the sultry air taking her breath away. In just ten seconds, countless thoughts flashed in her mind, and she even thought desperately whether she would die there…

Until an actor rushed in to rescue her, cutting the rope binding her and leading her to escape through the window.

She was on fire and was shocked and scared. The actor jumped into the pond behind the house, and the fire went out. She was fortunate not to be burned, but was soaked in the cold water in the late autumn for a long time and had even been shocked. Even though a staff member brought a blanket in time after landing, she still fell ill.

She had asked the director angrily, why didn't they tell her they were going to set a fire?

Director Fang had been surprised. "Why didn't they tell you?" He had then confronted the staff.

The staff was a little scared and said, "The fire is an on-site effect, and it would definitely be fine. I wanted to make the actor's response a little more realistic, but also to make the drama better, so I didn't say anything." He then smiled apologetically at Jin Ling'er. "Sorry Ling'er, it's my fault."

Jin Ling'er was so angry that she wanted to cry. She scolded him, and the staff brought tea for her as compensation.

She was wrapped in a blanket, sitting in the corner of the set with a trembling chill, when she heard several actresses whispering, "Did you see that Jin Ling'er ordering Brother Zhao around like a dog? Brother Zhao worked hard for the crew and even had to give her face. What's so great about her, isn't she just Xia Yingluo's friend? She doesn't have anyone in her eyes."

"Yeah, and she even hurried the ginger soup just now. Did she fall into the water by herself? Look at Brother Wei, he's a big star, and went into the water with her at the same time, but is he as coquettish? After hearing that she was hurrying the ginger soup, Brother Zhao was afraid he would be put in a spot, so he gave his ginger soup to her."

The conversation between the people made Jin Ling'er feel like there was a fishbone in her throat. She held the bowl of ginger soup and didn't know whether to drink it or not.

She had been frightened and had a bad temper, so she was a little bit nasty to Brother Zhao. She had been too cold, so she had hurried the ginger soup. The ginger soup could be regarded as a standard feature of each cast actor after falling to water and was usually prepared. How was she to know that there was a problem in the kitchen today and the soup hadn't been prepared yet? The bowl in her hand was brought by Brother Wei's assistant. Brother Wei complained it had gotten cold and just gave it to her, but it became rumored that she had thrown a tantrum!

Jin Ling'er was aggrieved and wanted to cry. She had a high fever that night.

She also felt like this wasn't right. Too many coincidences had come together. They happened to change the script and the staff member happened to conceal the fire scene. And coincidentally, there was no hot ginger soup? Had it not been for these coincidences, she would not have been so ill!

However, she didn't want to tell Xia Yingluo about all these speculations.

Many people in the cast were already jealous that she was a good friend of Xia Yingluo. She didn't want Xia Yingluo to help her again. She wanted to break through the entertainment world by herself, instead of becoming a vassal of being good friends with Xia Yingluo. She wanted to become of equal standing to Yingluo, only then could she be qualified to be her true friend.

Jin Ling'er, in turn, comforted Xia Yingluo. "Relax, I only need to rest a few days."

Xia Yingluo was worried about another thing. "What will happen to the crew if you rest a few days? Progress doesn't wait for people."

Jin Ling'er looked dark. "They'll probably find a substitute." When she was taken to the hospital, she had heard the assistant director recommending a substitute to Director Fang. After all, she was only a small character, and it was impossible for her to delay the progress of the shooting. She couldn't afford the money burned every day.

Xia Yingluo was not very happy, and she called Head Director Fang Wei to request him to move Jin Ling'er's filming to after her discharge.

Fang Wei was very distressed and said with a smile, "Ms. Xia, it's not that I don't want to move it, but you see, Ling'er has to film with many big shots and their schedules are really tight. It's really impossible to move it… how about asking President Du?"

He kicked the ball to President Du.

Xia Yingluo also owned an entertainment company and knew how much extra money the crew would incur if she delayed the filming. She said, "I'll go to Mr. Du." She figured that if she helped Jin Ling'er pay the money, wouldn't Brother Du Zheng be more accommodating?

The phone rang.

It was Wei Lingnan asking her what she was doing.

Xia Yingluo was in no mood to quarrel with him and told him her troubles in a moody tone. Wei Lingnan said, "It's not a big thing. Such small illnesses like cold fever and pneumonia will be cured after using my medicine. Wait for me, I'll bring the medicine now."

Xia Yingluo then remembered what her boyfriend did. The world's top biopharmaceutical company has the most advanced medicinal materials.

She waited for a while at the hospital door, and sure enough, she saw a black sports car stopping outside. A man with a long figure and a white shirt stepped out of the car gracefully, stood in front of her, and smiled down. "Yingluo."

"Thank you," Xia Yingluo said.

"You don't have to be polite with me." Wei Lingnan handed the medicine to her. The two thin white tablets in a transparent small bottle looked no different from ordinary medicine. "Eat one at noon and one at night, and it will be completely cured the next day. "

Xia Yingluo looked at the medicine and asked, "What kind of medicine is it? No side effects?"

"You don't know the name." Wei Lingnan smiled. "No side effects. I won't hurt your friends."

Xia Yingluo thought it too. If he wanted to kill Jin Ling'er, when Jin Ling'er was almost killed by Pei Yan last time, he could have just turned a blind eye and not saved her, so why had he bothered saving her? So she took the medicine, said thank you again, and turned away.

"Yingluo." Wei Lingnan called.

She turned back. "Anything else?"

"… No." Wei Lingnan let her go.

Watching her leave, he had an illusion, as if in her eyes, he was so insignificant that even a human friend weighed more…

His expression gradually faded.

Xia Yingluo gave the medicine to Jin Ling'er and told her that the medicine would make her better soon and she could go back to film. Jin Ling'er believed in Xia Yingluo and ate it without any doubt. The result was contrary to her wishes. The next day, her condition worsened and she was unconscious on the bed.

Xia Yingluo called Wei Lingnan anxiously and angrily. "What on earth did you give her! How could her illness become more serious?!"
