After a beat, the rookie smiled lightly and added. "What an impression you'd leave the audience!"

"You!" Furious, the socialite eyed her rival for a second before she suddenly let out an angry laugh. "Just you wait, Yun Shishi! You think you could still live so glamorously like before? Hah!"

With that, she lifted her chin and left, strutting away on her three-inch high heels!

Yun Shishi stood outside the producer's office and knocked on the door, only to hear his cold voice echoing. "Who is it?"

"It's me, Producer Ji."

"Come on in."

As she pushed open the door and entered the office, Ji Lin looked up and asked in confusion, "Shouldn't you be looking after your father at the hospital? Why are you here?"

"Producer Ji, I'm very thankful for your concern regarding what happened to my father, but…"

Her voice trailed off as she pulled out an envelope containing a check from her bag.

It was what he and her manager had given her during their visit to the hospital, and the amount written on the check was figures.

"I can't accept this money."

He glanced at the artist before smilingly looking down at the envelope in her hand. "What are you doing now?"

"I'm appreciative of your concern, but I can't accept so much money," said the woman with a smile as she moved to pass the envelope to him. "Thank you!"

The producer did not take it, though.

"Keep it."

"?"

"This is a small token of appreciation from me and Qin Zhou."

Small?!

She could not help grimacing wryly at that, for she had never seen anyone visiting a patient in the hospital with such a large amount of cash gift. This was too much for her to accept.

He explained, "It's only a huge sum because a portion of that money is the balance remuneration for the commercial you shot previously! It's what you deserve!"

"The balance?"

"Didn't you shoot a commercial for a shampoo brand previously?"

"Yeah…"

He supplied succinctly. "It's the balance for that."

"…"

Didn't the advertisers pay me several millions back then?

Where did this balance come about, then?

She remained skeptical of his words.

"So did you come looking for me because of this?"

"…"

The man set his work aside, looked up, and asked gravely, "How's your father's condition?"

"He is still under observation and is recovering slowly."

"From what I saw previously, his injuries look pretty bad. His face is as good as disfigured."

She nodded with pursed lips.

Concerned, he asked, "Is there any news from the police? Have they caught the culprit?"

The actress shook her head. "No. According to the police, the investigation will be tough… since the offender didn't leave any evidence behind, nor were there any witnesses due to the incident happening late at night…"

"That makes things tricky," he said. "Do you think it's possible that your father offended a bigshot? No matter how I see it, this seems to be a case of revenge. Otherwise, there's no reason for anyone to act so cruelly."

"That's what I thought, too, but my father didn't reveal much and only said that it's robbery."

"Anyway, when do you think you can report back to work?"

"Next month, I guess! I'll be free to work again once my father's condition somewhat stabilizes."

As she was leaving the producer's office, Yun Shishi thought of his words.

'No matter how I see it, this seems to be a case of revenge. Otherwise, there's no reason for anyone to act so cruelly.'

Revenge?

Dad never offended anyone except for the time he went bankrupt, but we paid back our debts to those creditors a long time ago.
