Mo Ning and her assistant arrived on set and then Mo Ning went to greet the director.
She had noticed the dirty looks some of the actors and crew members were throwing at her when she arrived on set. But it was already within her expectations, no matter what, they would always judge even though they weren't any better than the person they were judging.
She didn't take it as anything because it was purely human instincts to judge even without knowing the details.
Even though she understood that, that didn't mean she agreed with it. True it was basic instinct but why can't you try to control it a bit.
Would anyone run into a lions den just because they saw the lion looking lonely?
If they can't do that, why also can't they refrain from judging just because there was 'supposedly evidence' to back up the rumour? Deciding not to pay attention to people who didn't matter, she walked to director Feng.
" Ah, Xiao Ning you're earlier than expected today. " He said with a doting smile.
" Yes I woke up early so I decided to just come in. "
" I saw the news this morning, are you alright? Or do you want me to give you some days off until everything is cleared? " He asked looking worriedly at her.
" No need for that. I'll continue working as usual. " She replied. " Why didn't you even ask me if the rumours were true but the first thing was to offer me a few days off? " She asked a puzzled expression on her face.
" Am I supposed to answer that question? It's obvious that I don't believe that post because I trust you. I know you wouldn't do something like that and that there's a logical explanation to whatever was posted. " Director Feng said
When Mo Ning heard his words, she felt warmth envelope her.
How many people were willing to just trust her without reasons? His words made her eyes shiny with tears. Director Feng saw it and couldn't help but laugh.
" Are you feeling touched now? Sigh! Little girl you're really easily moved. " He said while ruffling her hair.
" It's true. I'm really really touched. Only a few people will chose to trust me even with the evidence plastered all over the Internet. " She said trying to hold back her tears. Someone whom she had known for less than two months was able to see the good in her despite what other people said. " But it is also true that what the rumours say is fake. He isn't my sugar daddy. If you look closely at the picture you would see my face is red, that's because I was drugged. He.. He" She let out an audible sigh before she continued. " He tried to rape me." She said in a voice that was barely audible so much that if you were standing three feet from her, you wouldn't hear what she had just said.
As soon as he heard what she said, he had an ugly expression on his face. If the person in the pictures tried to rape her, then surely whoever made the post knew the exact details of what happened but still chose to go against his conscience.
Human beings really knew how to be despicable when they chose to be.
He wanted to ask her a few questions but he didn't know how that would make her feel. The choice was soon made for him when she received a phone call.
"Excuse me director Feng I have to take this it's my mom. "
" No problem go ahead after that, you can go directly to get your makeup done. "
" Alright. " She said before walking off to pick the call.
Luckily, she was already signed to Zhou Man entertainment. They would at least protect their artiste that's for sure. Director Feng thought before going back to making sure everything for the next scene was ready.
