Chapter 667: Accident
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Rui seemed to have been greatly frightened. Her pupils dilated, and there was lingering fear in her eyes. Her lost and helpless appearance was very lovable. Wu Dai walked to Xu Ruiâs side and checked nervously. After confirming that Xu Rui was not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief and comforted her gently.
Xi De walked to Lu Zhenâs side. âAre you okay? Let me see your hand.â
Lu Zhen shook her head. âIâm fine.â
After a few seconds of confusion, Xu Rui walked towards Lu Zhen and said apologetically, âIâm sorry, Iâm really sorry.â
The sudden apology made Lu Zhen not know how to respond. To be fair, it was Xu Ruiâs fault that the two of them bumped into each other. Lu Zhen originally wouldnât have touched Xu Rui. If Xu Rui hadnât turned around and taken two steps towards Lu Zhen, this accident wouldnât have happened.
However, in the eyes of the audience, this might not be the case.
The camera in the live-stream did not always focus on Lu Zhen and Xu Rui, so many viewers might not have seen Xu Rui take two steps towards Lu Zhen. The audience might only see the two of them suddenly collide.
At this moment, the number of bullet comments in the live- stream increased rapidlyâ
âI was shocked just now. Fortunately, they were all wearing protective suits.
Otherwise, I wouldnât have dared to imagine it.â
âIf the reagent is sulfuric acid or something like that, that would be terrifying. â
âWhatâs wrong with Lu Zhen? Sheâs so clumsy. How can she make a mistake with a reagent bottle?â
âWhat does the person in front mean? The two of them bumped into each other, which means that Xu Rui didnât pay attention. Itâs hard to say whose fault it is!â
âWhy are Lu Zhenâs fans so shameless? Didnât you see that our Ruirui was almost injured? We havenât even asked Lu Zhen to apologize, and youâre still blaming the victim? Youâve really made the victim guilty!â
âThatâs right. Look, Ruirui even took the initiative to apologize to Lu Zhen and give her a way out. My heart really aches for our Ruirui. She still has to take the blame after suffering a loss.â
âWhat can we do? A certain female celebrity has a high status. We canât afford to offend her. Look, just say a few words to her and her fans will start to distort the truth.â
Xiaoxiao, who had been watching the live-stream, had a bad feeling when she saw the contents of the comments. She immediately asked the representative of the fan club to comfort the fans and tell them not to be agitated, let alone quarrel with Xu Ruiâs fans.
After the accident, the emcee quickly adapted to the situation. After easing the tense atmosphere, he guided the four of them to continue with the scientific experiment. This was naturally not appropriate, but the emcee had no choice. If the live-stream was paused because of the accident, it would only make the accident look more serious.
Letting the experiment continue would more or less give the audience a psychological hint that this sudden accident did not bring about too serious consequences. And this was the truth. No one was injured at the event location.
The experiment continued. In less than two minutes, Xu Rui walked to Lu
Zhenâs side again with an apologetic expression. âIâm really sorry.â
Xu Ruiâs voice was not loud, but her expression was clearly captured by the camera and displayed in the live-stream. Lu Zhen tightened her grip on the reagent bottle and controlled her expression. She smiled gently. âItâs fine. Itâs good that youâre not injured.â
Xu Rui smiled and lowered her voice. âOf course Iâm fine.â
Lu Zhen took a deep breath. If she didnât have enough mental fortitude, she might really be angered by Xu Rui. However, after experiencing so much, her mental fortitude was extraordinarily strong. She was only a little depressed and disgusted by Xu Ruiâs actions.
Lu Zhen did not say anything else. She walked around Xu Rui and stood on the other side of the table. Disappointment flashed in Xu Ruiâs eyes. She pursed her lips and continued with the experiment with her usual expression.
Soon, this episode of the variety show came to an end. The production team pulled out a huge banner that had been customized on the stage. On it was written: âl wish the movie âBeauty a huge box office success!â
A few main leads stood behind the banner. Xu Ruiâs smile was clear and sweet. She was extremely expressive.
Lu Zhenâs smile was reserved and gentle. After leaving the event location, Lu Zhen quickly got into the companyâs car. Xiaoxiao sat in the car, opened the thermos, and handed it to her. Then, she said angrily, âThis Xu Rui, who is she doing this for?! Sheâs really acting more than in the production team!â
Lu Zhen took a sip of water. Her expression was calm and she did not look affected. She had been in the entertainment industry for two lifetimes. If she still did not know what disgusting things would happen in this industry, she would have lived in vain.
Celebrities were like this. When they werenât popular, they would be bullied and robbed of resources. When they were popular, they would easily be placed on a shelf to be roasted..
