"I have evidence to prove whether I'm framing you or not." Huo Ru had long obtained the video recording from back then. Back then, Ba Lan and He Xi were not famous people, so naturally, not many people paid attention to them. At most, they would sigh with emotion. Little did they know that from the blurry video recording, they could probably deduce what had happened.
Ba Lan looked at the blurry picture on her phone and her heart pounded. "So what? Go to the police!"
"Of course you didn't violate the law, but guess if your fans will continue to like an ingrate? How about it? Can we talk now?"
Ba Lan gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Unless you sign a contract with me to delete all the backups."
"Sure. I'll give you an hour to get someone to draft the contract. My role would be confirmed and your marriage is safe."
Ba Lan watched Huo Ru leave and spat, but she picked up his phone to call He Sen. This was too important for her to lose.
Before she could dial, the call came through. Ba Lan answered.
"The higher-ups have said that the third female lead will use the original candidate. Don't cause me trouble."
Ba Lan was stunned. She had long known from Huo Yun that Huo Ru had fallen out with the Huo family. The Huo family would never get involved in this matter, but with Huo Ru's unknown status, it was impossible for the higher-ups to speak up for her.
"Is there anyone behind her?"
"As long as you know it in your heart. They don't dare to say the exact situation, just don't make a fuss about the role." The person on the other end of the phone was very serious.
The reason why Ba Lan could be so successful in a short period of time was not only because she was good-looking, but also because she knew how to read people and give in. Which man did not like an obedient, sensible girl?
"How could I make things difficult for President He? Don't worry, I definitely won't touch her at all. I definitely won't make things difficult for you."
"That's good. Come and accompany me tonight?" The man's voice sounded ambiguous and wandering.
Ba Lan suppressed her disgust and continued to tease him before hanging up.
A few years ago, she had been too careless when dealing with things, which allowed Huo Ru to take advantage of the situation. Ba Lan made a few calls before she returned to the filming location with a relaxed expression.
She would just treat this matter as her carelessness. After entering the production team, she would have plenty of methods to deal with a small celebrity. So what if she had a sugar daddy behind her? Looking at Huo Ru's current situation, the sugar daddy did not care about her at all.
Ba Lan was indeed fast, it didn't take long for the production team to contact Huo Ru to join the crew. They also expressed that her image was too compatible with the third female lead.
Both sides knew the truth, but they hid it behind a friendly expression.
Even if she didn't want her things anymore, she wouldn't allow anyone else to touch them even if she threw them to the dogs. That was true of men, and it was true of the role of "Treasure".
Her agent should have been the one to inform her about this, but her agent, Sister Lan, had been in a terrible fix for the past two days and had taken a week off. Now, she could only personally inform her agent.
Huo Ru bought a huge model of an excavator to visit Ningning. Ningning didn't care about what the adults said since he didn't understand at all. He happily sat on the ground and played with his new toy.
"Just come by yourself, I'll be angry the next time you bring a gift. We're all family. There's no need to be like this."
"Just this once. Isn't this good news to celebrate?"
To Lan Ying's surprise, Huo Ru told her what had happened.
"So you got back this role?! Great! I knew you could do it!" Lan Ying clenched her fists. "You're really something! I didn't expect Ba Lan to have done so many bad things."
"So do you think this is worth celebrating?"
"It's worth it!" Lan Ying nodded repeatedly, but then her face darkened. "I'm sorry. I should have been the one to fight for this, but you went alone. I'm really useless, I can't help at all."
"Right now, taking good care of Ningning is the most important thing. How many more shows can I act in in the future? There's only one Ningning." Huo Ru's eyes were on Ningning. "I'll go alone this time. You can stay at home and accompany Ningning, It's been a long time since you were with him."
