Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 543 Zhi Zhi is a Little Chili

Zhi Zhi found it strange; He Sirui vanished after her scandal of dating a muscular man, and now she’s in a cosmetic surgery hospital in South Korea. Could it be that she’s been disfigured by domestic violence?

She told herself not to think that way. Yin Shaodong seemed like a decent person. Even if his wife cheated, he probably wouldn’t resort to domestic violence; at most, they’d get a divorce.

She asked, "Are you sure your friend saw it clearly? Don’t mistake a surgically altered face for He Sirui." Faces after South Korean cosmetic surgery often looked similar; it wasn’t uncommon for people to look alike.

The actor said awkwardly, "My friend said the female patient was wearing a mask, but there was no mistaking her eyes." They couldn’t be certain if it was He Sirui.

Zhi Zhi didn’t ask further. Now that He Sirui’s family had gone bankrupt, she couldn’t cause much of a stir.

The film crew changed the scene, and the director called Zhi Zhi to her position. Her assistant, Lin Lin, approached and handed her a water cup. "Sister Zhi Zhi, have some hot water before we start filming."

Zhi Zhi drank a few sips of water to warm herself up. She had to shoot a breakup scene in the snow.

In Yan City, it wouldn’t snow so heavily. The crew didn’t go outside for location shooting; they used artificial snow. Such setups cost money by the second, so they had to work all night to complete filming in the similar locations.

She, wearing just a T-shirt, heartbreakingly ran out of the male lead’s house. The male lead chased after her, begging for forgiveness, and they broke up under a streetlight.

There was no kissing in this scene. Just as the male actor got emotional and grabbed her shoulders, pulling her close as if to kiss her.

Zhi Zhi reacted with a slap, and simultaneously, the director yelled, "Cut!"

The entire crew stopped working. The director, seething with anger, rushed over. He didn’t dare scold Zhi Zhi; instead, he pointed at the male actor and shouted, "Did you even read the script, or are you improvising? Do you want to be the director?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The male actor was trying to take advantage of the situation, not expecting Zhi Zhi, who looked gentle, to be so fiery. She dared to slap him in front of so many people.

He covered his face, not daring to retort. Zhi Zhi put on a coat, showing no guilt. She had her brother’s protection in this industry, yet he dared to mess around with her. Has he never heard of Yang Chenmin?

After scolding the male actor, the director turned to Zhi Zhi, saying, "Sister Zhi Zhi, if you must hit, don’t hit the face; the slap mark ruins the continuity!" He then rushed the makeup artist to cover up the male actor’s slap mark.

Zhi Zhi suggested, "Since it’s a breakup scene, it’s only natural for the female lead to slap the male lead. Director, should we consider adding a slapping shot?" She would certainly slap him several more times.

The male actor, his face contorted in pain, glared and said, "Zhi Zhi, don’t push it. I didn’t even touch you!"

Zhi Zhi retorted, "Did you want to touch something else? Believe me, I could cripple you!"

You Lihao, visiting from a nearby set, overheard the conversation and couldn’t help but stop.

This girl looked delicate and quiet, but it turns out she’s a little pepper?

The staff recognized You Lihao and greeted him, "Manager You, come and sit."

You Lihao waved his hand from the back, "I’ll just stand here. Pretend I’m not here."

While the makeup artist touched up the male lead, Lin Lin handed Zhi Zhi her phone, "It’s Miss You."

Zhi Zhi walked aside to take the call, "Lifei, what’s wrong?"

You Lifen said, "Zhi Zhi, I really can’t stand it. I want to confront Gong Xiaoyu!"

That woman had clearly broken up with Yu Zheng, yet she still asked him out for a drink. It’s disgusting!

Recently, she had been closely watched by her brother, and her father was home, leaving her with nowhere to go. She wasn’t even allowed to see Yu Zheng.

She wasn’t afraid of her father and brother’s restrictions, but she feared Yu Zheng would change his mind. She had no sense of security. Now Yu Zheng made headlines with Gong Xiaoyu, how could she not be anxious?

Zhi Zhi advised her, "Uncle is very strict. You should behave at home and wait for him to go abroad before taking action." Otherwise, if she truly angered her father, she might be sent abroad herself with no chance to do anything.

You Lifen cried anxiously, "What if my father stays home forever? Would my relationship with Yu Zheng end without results? No way!"

She had endured so much for this relationship; there was no way she’d let it wither away.

She said, "I’ll go to Gong Xiaoyu’s company tomorrow to negotiate."

Zhi Zhi quickly said, "Definitely not! I heard Si Yuan’s fans swarm their building. If you go now... things will only escalate. Think about how you’ll handle the aftermath!"

You Lifen said, "Then I’ll go to her house; will that work?"

Zhi Zhi, unable to dissuade her, said wearily, "I’ll come find you once I’m done here. We’ll talk in person."

You Lifen checked the time and spoke enviously, "You’re still on set this late? I can’t even start a job if I wanted to."

After her and Yu Zheng’s scandal, her perfect public image was tainted. Some irrational netizens labeled her as "the other woman," threatening to boycott all her work.

Her brother worked hard to mitigate the mess, trying to minimize the losses. To let the situation cool off, he had her stay home and not go out, waiting for the company to rebrand her.

Her father returned home because of the incident and gave her a good scolding. You Lifen, scolded terribly for the first time in her life, obediently stayed home until she saw the news of Yu Zheng and Gong Xiaoyu. She felt the need to assert her claim.

Yu Zheng was clearly hers. Why was Gong Xiaoyu still entangling with him? Didn’t she understand boundaries?

Zhi Zhi advised Miss You, "Yes, I’m still working hard on set. I’ll come find you after filming. Don’t sleep too early, and don’t act impulsively." She had to reel You Lifen back from the brink. You Lifen acted recklessly; if she caused another scandal before this one settled, she might be sidelined for years.

Audiences were forgetful. If a star wasn’t seen on screen for a few years, they would gradually be forgotten. Making a comeback required a lot of effort.

The You family was wealthy and influential. Even if Lifei quit acting, she could live well. Being raised in luxury, she hadn’t experienced the difficulties of having no resources or gigs, which made her act without considering the consequences.

After they ended the call, Zhi Zhi returned to filming. As the director shouted action, she shed two lines of tears.

Heartbroken, she looked at the male actor she had just slapped and said, "Do you know how much I love you? Is that why you dare to trample on my heart?"

The male actor, fully immersed, held her hand, "No, I never intended to hurt you. Don’t break up with me; I can’t live without you."

Zhi Zhi’s tears fell onto the snow as she cried pitifully, "Who is that woman? I saw everything. What else do you want to explain?"

Wearing only a T-shirt, she shivered in the cold wind. The male actor hugged her, tenderly kissing her hair, "Baby, you’re the only one I love. Don’t you trust yourself, or don’t you trust me?"

You Lihao watched the couple embracing under the streetlight from a distance. Whether it was the bright lighting or not, the scene was painfully glaring.
