Before she could react, he lifted her chin and looked at her red and swollen face.
That look was like watching your own cat run back after losing a fight.
His voice was dull:
"Is this an injury caused by a fall?"
Su Mi's words were stuck in her throat.
He saw the clues and looked seriously: "What's going on?"
Xiao Subao heard the news of Su Mi's return and ran out. When she saw half of Su Mi's red and swollen face, she was startled: "Mom, who hit you?"
I'm just about to lift up my little sleeves and go fight.
Upon hearing this, Huo Shenxiu's expression became even darker.
Su Mi couldn't laugh or cry: "No one hit me." She asked Sister He to take the little Su Bao away, and then told Huo Shenxiu the truth.
Huo Shenxiu frowned when he heard this: "Did Tang Mingda's daughter do it?"
Su Mi nodded and added: "Back then, I was the one who exposed your uncle for stealing your mother's money, so you suppressed the Tang family. I think your cousin probably has a grudge against me, so she took the opportunity to take revenge."
Huo Shenxiu's memory of this incident was vague, but he probably still had an impression.
He has not forgotten what the Tang family said about his biological mother, and his face is even more gloomy.
After a while, he stared at Su Mi and said, "Do you want to go to the hospital to have a look at your face?"
Su Mi caressed her cheek lightly: "Are you afraid that I will be disfigured and embarrass you? It's okay, it's just an allergy. Thank you that your cousin added allergy-causing medicine and didn't poison it. Apply cold compress a few times and put some medicine on it and it will be fine.
It’s much better now than it was just now.”
His eyes softened slightly, but then he said harshly for a moment: "Rest first."
She turned back and walked a few steps towards the stairs, then thought of something again and turned around: "I think this matter may not be just Tang Yinghua's fault."
He stopped and looked back at her: "You want to say that someone instigated her?"
Su Mi expressed her thoughts: "I don't know. But I feel that the Tang family has been suppressed by you for so many years, and you have hated me for so long. If you want revenge, you should have done it a long time ago."
Huo Shenxiu listened quietly, then turned around and went out.
Su Mi returned to her room. After taking a shower, she prepared a compound essential oil that was soothing and anti-swelling, dropped it into pure water, and washed her face.
Then, I used an ice pack to apply cold compress on my cheek for a while, which made me feel much better.
The face that was originally red and swollen looked much better.
…
At the same time, in the courtyard.
After Huo Shenxiu explained to Han Fei on the phone, he hung up the phone, paused, and made another call.
After a while, the phone was picked up and it was Gu Qingruo's voice: "Second Master, what's the matter?"
Huo Shenxiu said calmly: "Have you met a woman named Tang Yinghua?"
Although Su Mi didn't say it clearly, he understood what she meant.
She felt that Tang Yunhua was instigated by Gu Qingruo.
In the past, he would not have doubted Gu Qingruo, but would have felt that it was impossible for Gu Qingruo to do such a thing.
But this time, he actually took what Su Mi meant.
Gu Qingruo paused and answered frankly: "Your uncle's cousin, right? Yes, I have met her."
This surprised Huo Shenxiu. He didn't expect her to admit it. After a while, she lowered her voice:
"Tang Yunhua caused trouble for Su Mi on the set, wasn't that your intention?"
Gu Qingruo chuckled: "Who said that? Tang Yunhua? Or Su Mi complained? I go to the hospital and the laboratory every day, does the second master think I have time to instruct people to harm Su Mi? I am meeting your cousin.
We met, but to be precise, it was your cousin who came to see me, and I ignored her at all."
Huo Shenxiu's tone was still full of doubts: "Really?"
"Your cousin saw the scandal between me and you, and thought I was having an affair with you. She wanted to use me to make Su Mi angry and get closer to you. I don't have time to go crazy with your relatives. What does she do?
It doesn’t matter to me. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
Huo Shenxiu pondered for a moment and said, "Then you should also tell me."
Gu Qingruo asked softly: "So the second master doesn't trust me now. He really listened to Su Mi's words and thinks that I really want to sow your relationship?"
"Trust is limited," the man's voice became hoarse, "You yourself know clearly whether you have ever hinted that Tang Yunhua did something for you."
Gu Qingruo smiled coldly: "It seems that the second master has really taken Su Mi's side and doesn't believe me. Why, if you didn't still have to rely on me for research, I'm afraid you would have asked me to go back to North America by now.
"
"In short, I don't want to see something like this happen again. Even if it has nothing to do with you, if Tang Yunhua comes to see you, you should still say hello to me." Huo Shenxiu dropped the last four words, "You can take care of yourself."
*
The next day, Tang Yinghua endured his injured waist and went to the set.
She originally didn't want to go, but after breaking up with Su Mi, Su Mi also let her go. She knew that she could no longer continue working in the film and television city.
But Tang Mingda refused and insisted on asking her to get the remaining salary back.
Although she was reluctant, she really couldn't part with the money.
The remaining salary is not small, it is enough for my family's living expenses for three to four months. I don't want to come back. It would be too heartbreaking.
As expected, as soon as Tang Wenhua arrived at the studio, the director of the makeup department informed her that she was fired and that she would not be able to get any remaining salary.
Tang Yinghua was so angry that he was half-dead: "Why don't you give me the rest of your salary? Why, do you think I'm a part-time worker and easy to bully?...I'll sue you at the labor arbitration department!"
The director of the makeup department was used to seeing this kind of thing, so he was not nervous, crossed his arms and sneered:
"You have the nerve to ask for wages? Are you still going to the labor department? You're lucky if we don't send you to the police station!"
Tang Yinghua took a breath: "What do you mean? Why do you send me to the police station!?"
The director of the makeup department threw over a stack of information about Tang Yinghua’s application for makeup assistant:
"When you applied for our makeup assistant position, you said that you graduated from a specialized beauty and hairdressing school and major, and had worked as a makeup assistant for some celebrities, so we hired you."
"Now I know that your graduation certificate was a fake certificate bought online, and your job as an assistant to a celebrity was also a fabrication."
"This is a typical fraud. We are merciful by not letting you spit out your previous salary. You actually ask us for the remaining salary? What a dream!"
Tang Ying's face turned red, then turned blue, and he clenched his fists.
It must have been Su Mi who asked the makeup department to pull up her application information and check it out.
In fact, it is not uncommon in the industry for people like her who work as part-time makeup assistants to make fake certificates and make up their experience.
If she didn't make any mistakes, the crew would usually be too lazy to say anything, since she was just an assistant anyway.
Now that the crew picked her out alone, it must have been Su Mi Fang's fault.
Su Mi is the number one heroine, and it only takes one sentence to get rid of her part-time assistant!
Tang Yinghua knew that he was afraid that he would not get back the rest of his salary. He was so angry that he crumpled the information into a ball and threw it away. He turned around and limped away, but he heard the director's voice behind him:
"You are already on the blacklist in this industry. From now on, look for something else."
