?Chapter 278: Chapter 279: Repaying Tenfold (8)_1 Chapter 278: Chapter 279: Repaying Tenfold (8)_1 Zhou Nan lifted her head in astonishment, gazing at Liang Chen.
The man who had just appeared before her was shockingly handsome, even more so as she stared directly at him.
Liang Chen didn’t wait for Zhou Nan to speak, but didn’t seem angry. He merely smirked and continued to ask, “How long have you been in the entertainment industry?”
Just moments before, Liang Chen had been washing Jing Haohao’s feet, a sight that made it seem like she was the treasure resting in his palms.
Zhou Nan even thought that she must have gotten herself into big trouble, but now, despite him knowing she had hit Jing Haohao, he was acting very mildly and still asking her questions.
This attitude of Liang Chen instilled fear and confusion in Zhou Nan.
It took Zhou Nan a while to stutter out an answer, “Si-six years.”
“Six years.” Liang Chen repeated, thinking about the fact that Jing Haohao had also been in the industry for six years. He appeared lost in thought for a moment before nodding slowly, his voice retaining its coolness, “Six years, quite some time. As a lead actress, you must have starred in several dramas, right?”
His whole manner gave Zhou Nan the feeling that he was just chatting, which gradually calmed her racing heart.
Thinking that Jing Haohao didn’t seem to be that important to Liang Chen, Zhou Nan started to wonder if Liang Chen was actually interested in her. After all, she was a widely acclaimed actress whereas Jing Haohao was just an obscure, third-rate actress.
With this thought, Zhou Nan resumed her usual demeanor, nodding to Liang Chen and mentioning a few well-known dramas in which she had played the lead.
Her voice was deliberately soft, sounding gentle and humble, quite unlike her usual arrogant and assertive self.
Liang Chen didn’t interrupt Zhou Nan. After she finished, he simply nodded his head, saying, “Good, very good!”
It felt like a genuine compliment.
Zhou Nan’s lips curled into a confident smile. Right as she was about to thank Mr. Liang for his praise—
—the next second, Liang Chen forcefully threw the script in his hand towards her, hitting her right in the face.
Just moments ago, Liang Chen had been casually chatting. However, his sudden ruthlessness left everyone present confused.
“Good, very good. Daring to lay a hand on my woman.” Liang Chen’s tone was somewhat cold, filled with an intense threat.
The people around had already seen the director shirking responsibility, so now nobody dared to speak up for Zhou Nan.
This sudden change in Liang Chen’s attitude made Zhou Nan flinch in surprise. Then she watched Liang Chen part his lips, his voice deep, “Can a lead actress of so many successful dramas miss remembering the script? Are you sure you’re not trying to fool me by pretending to be stupid?”
“I don’t care how you’ve fought in this industry, but in front of me, you better put away those cheap gimmicks!”
Zhou Nan’s composure was faltering. Now she finally understood that Liang Chen wasn’t just making polite conversation. He was probing her, trying to find weaknesses, and expose her deceit!
Cold sweat began to trickle down Zhou Nan’s forehead. She looked at Liang Chen in fear and blurted out, “Mr. Liang, I didn’t mean it. I really didn’t mean it.”
