    Chapter 29 Killing eyes

    Zuo Ning naturally did not go back with Qiu Yibai to meet his parents in the end. After all, it was not the time for them to consider that yet.

    And early the next morning, the crew had to drive to the mountains in the next province for three days of filming.

    This section mainly tells the story of the Fu family’s on-the-spot investigation in the countryside after the Fu family barely survived the economic crisis and the company had to transform.

    The plot is very simple, just for the sake of realism. The environment of the village the crew contacted is not very good, and the living conditions are difficult.

    It was already noon when everyone arrived, and everyone was arranged to live in a large courtyard. There were two two-story buildings facing each other in the courtyard, with three rooms on each floor. Men and women lived in one building each.

    Each room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and each small room is equipped with two beds. The room where Zuo Ning lives is located on the second floor. She and her assistant Xiao Lin live outside, and Jiang Chunxin and her assistant live inside.

    People living inside have to go outside to enter and exit. This feeling of no privacy is indeed strange.

    Zuo Ning opened the suitcase and packed his things casually. Xiao Lin saw the mahogany box with sharp eyes and couldn’t help but smile: ⸢Sister Zuo Ning, you love beauty so much, why do you need to bring jewelry with you when you come to the countryside to film a movie?But I haven’t seen you wearing it either!⸥

    Zuo Ning smiled: ⸢I’m used to carrying it with me. I won’t be able to sleep without it.⸥

    Photos and jade bracelets are things she takes with her wherever she goes. Photos are okay, sometimes it’s inconvenient to bring a photo frame, and you can view them on your phone. As for the jade bracelet, she can’t live without it even a day.

    It’s a pity that this thing is too fragile, and she still doesn’t want to wear it on her hand every day for fear of getting bumped.

    ⸢That must be the treasure that Director Qiu gave you?⸥Xiao Lin smiled ambiguously, ⸢Isn’t it an heirloom of his family?Has he taken you to meet your parents?Will you get married?⸥

    Before Zuo Ning could say anything, he heard a cold taunt: ⸢How could our charming sister Zuo Ning be willing to get married?If she married into the Qiu family, how could the Qiu family allow her to continue to seduce other men?You can’t take this kind of loss, right Sister Zuo Ning?⸥

    The speaker was Jiang Chunxin, who was standing at the door of the back room. When he saw her early this morning, Zuo Ning noticed that something was wrong with her. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was pale, as if she had been crying for a long time.

    Ever since the hot search incident, she wasn’t as enthusiastic about Zuo Ning as she was at the launch party, and was often even hostile. But no matter how cold the relationship was, she wouldn’t be as sarcastic as she was today.

    Xiao Lin has always been protective of Zuo Ning, and now she is not happy to hear what Jiang Chunxin says, but the other party is the woman of investor Mr. Yu, and she dare not say anything, so she can only look at her angrily.

    Zuo Ning, on the other hand, chuckled lightly and didn’t care. He pulled Xiao Lin and walked out: “Come on, let’s go eat.”⸥

    There was a fire in one corner of the yard, and several brand-new long wooden tables were lined up in the center. The tables were filled with meals and fruits prepared by the villagers who had contacted them previously. They looked very rich.

    Seeing Zuo Ning eating well, Qiu Yibai finally felt relieved: ⸢I was worried that you wouldn’t be used to it.⸥

    ⸢I’m not that picky, I’m easy to feed.⸥

    ⸢Are you suggesting that I marry you quickly?⸥

    Zuo Ning glared at he speechlessly and continued to eat, but then heard he ask: ⸢Is the place where you live still acceptable?I have prepared new sheets and quilts for you, which are in my car and will be picked up for you later.⸥

    ⸢Qiu Yibai, don’t think of me as so delicate, okay?My ability to adapt is still very strong, and I have lived in environments that are ten times more difficult than here.⸥

    She said this just to make Qiu Yibai relax, but this guy missed the point and looked at her with a distressed look: ⸢Have you ever suffered like that?It’s all my fault that I showed up too late. I swear I will never let you suffer in the slightest again.⸥

    In this situation, Zuo Ning felt that she should be moved to tears, but looking at Qiu Yibai’s serious and handsome face, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “Qiu Yibai, don’t be like this, you will spoil me rotten.”⸥

    ⸢It’s best to be spoiled. If you are spoiled to the point that no one else can bear it, no one will compete with me anymore. You will only be mine in this life.⸥

    Several staff members on the opposite side immediately looked like they were vomiting. Assistant Director Zhang kept holding his forehead and sighed: ⸢Director Qiu, I really lost to you. I never knew you were so disgusting.⸥

    Amidst the roar of laughter, Zuo Ning finally blushed, glared at Qiu Yibai, turned around and went upstairs with his cell phone: ⸢I’ll charge it, you guys eat first.⸥

    This kind of situation is not uncommon, but she is thin-skinned and will be ashamed every time. However, not only the crew likes to tease her, but also Qiu Yibai likes to tease her. He said that he likes to see her shy look.

    While searching for the charger in the suitcase, Zuo Ning accidentally touched the mahogany box and immediately noticed something was wrong.

    She picked up the box and found that it was much lighter. She opened it carefully and checked, and there was nothing inside.

    Qiu Yibai was happily listening to everyone’s teasing when he saw Zuo Ning coming down the stairs in a menacing manner. He thought she was really angry and was thinking of how to coax the little woman, but she walked straight up to Jiang Chunxin, stretched out her hand and said coldly: ⸢Bring it here!⸥

    Everyone had no idea what was happening, and they all looked over there in confusion.

    Jiang Chunxin looked confused: ⸢Sister Zuo Ning, what did you say?⸥

    ⸢Give me back my stuff!⸥

    ⸢Sister Zuo Ning, what did you say?I don’t understand.⸥

    Seeing that the other party still looked innocent and aggrieved, Zuo Ning suddenly waved his right hand, grabbed the fruit knife on the table and stabbed Jiang Chunxin in the neck, making everyone scream in fright.

    The knife stopped a few millimeters away from Chunxin across the river. Zuo Ning’s eyes became a little colder: ⸢Give me back the thing!⸥

    Jiang Chunxin was obviously frightened by her angry look, but when she saw that someone was trying to stop Zuo Ning, she was not afraid: ⸢What are you going to do?Murder?⸥

    ⸢What if I kill you?At worst, I will sacrifice my life for you, but at least you will die before me!⸥

    ⸢Ning Ning…⸥Qiu Yibai was completely frightened by Zuo Ning’s appearance. He wanted to get closer to her but was afraid of irritating her even more. He could only say softly, ⸢What did she take from you?Ning Ning, don’t be impulsive. Put down the knife first. If you have any problems, I’ll help you solve them.⸥

    However, Zuo Ning couldn’t listen to anything at this moment. He just held the knife in his hand a little tighter and said word for word: ⸢One last time, give me back the thing!⸥

    Looking at her cold gaze, Jiang Chun’s heart shuddered unconsciously: ⸢I’ll give it back… I’ll give it back to you. It’s not a good thing. It’s worthless at first glance. Who wants it from you?⸥

    After saying that, she put her hand into her coat pocket, took out the bracelet, and threw it on the table angrily: ⸢I just used it to study, I don’t like this piece of shit like you!⸥

    She was sitting at the very edge, and when she threw things, she aimed at the corners of the table, but when the things actually fell, they passed by the corners of the table and fell straight to the ground.

    There was a “snap” sound, and the light green jade bracelet shattered into five pieces of different sizes on the cement floor.

    It was only at this moment that Qiu Yibai and Gao Xia understood why Zuo Ning’s reaction just now was so intense.

    After staring blankly at the ground for a few seconds, Zuo Ning squatted down to pick up the bracelet. To be precise, it was the pieces that could no longer be called a bracelet.

    Each piece felt like a knife in her hand, poking at her fragile skin and causing pain in her heart.

    Jiang Chunxin didn’t expect such an accident to happen, and she was completely frightened. When she came to her senses, she realized that Zuo Ning had picked up the broken bracelet and stood up, looking at her with a very cold look.

    That was… a look that wanted to kill someone.
