Chapter 120: 120 made grandpa laugh
Sun Ling felt it immediately after hearing Shi Lan’s words—a certain subtle sensation between the couple.
Perhaps it was clearer as an observer, she could see that deep, to-the-bone special feeling Shi Lan had for Yan Shixiu that Miss Shi herself had not realized.
She also understood where Shi Lan’s trust in Yan Shixiu stemmed from—it was the three years of companionship and observation. Miss Shi deeply knew this man had never harmed her.
“So what should we do now? We can’t really apologize, can we?”

“What if we do apologize? I promised to apologize, but I didn’t promise who I would apologize to,” Shi Lan scoffed coldly.
Upon hearing this, Sun Ling immediately understood Shi Lan’s intent and slapped her thigh, saying, “Right! Why didn’t I think of that? It can be an apology to anyone, just not to that stupid couple! But if things escalate, won’t it affect the production crew?”
...
“That’s why we need to wrap things up,” Shi Lan said nonchalantly.
“I can’t wait to watch the drama unfold!” Sun Ling felt incredibly relieved now. “When I received the call this morning, I was almost blown away with worry, but now it seems I’ve got my appetite back. Boss, what would you like to eat? I’ll ask the hotel to prepare it.”
“The usual is fine.” At that moment, Shi Lan also received a WeChat message from Yan.
“Sun Ling can stay. She was worried about you last night, stayed outside the door until 1:30 AM. She didn’t need to do that.”
Shi Lan: “Mm.”
Although Sun Ling was like Little Tangseng, reciting scriptures by her ear every day and sometimes being foolish, Shi Lan indeed felt the “heart for heart” theory she talked about from her—foolish, yet endearingly so.
After breakfast, Shi Lan got ready and went to the makeup room. The weather this season was enough to make anyone sweat profusely from morning.
Once her hair and makeup were done, Shi Lan, dressed in her costume, arrived on the set, where the National Couple was rehearsing their lines together.
The props crew was setting up the scene, and dozens of extras were also gathering on site. Then, without choosing her words carefully, Shi Lan walked up to Chen Beini and said, “I’ve agreed to apologize, can you ask your team to stop being so aggressive?”
Shi Lan’s words immediately drew the attention of nearby crew members. Essentially, it was a scene of a popular artist bullying a supporting role.
Originally due to Chen Beini’s influence, many crew members had to work overtime through the night, and now, hearing Shi Lan say this, their perception of Chen Beini plummeted.
“If only you had spoken properly yesterday, would it have come to this?” Chen Beini unwittingly fell into the trap, speaking out of turn.
Shi Lan smiled ambiguously and did not engage with the National Couple any further; instead, she said hi to Director Tang before finding her chair to sit and wait.
“Can’t you just stop?” Gu Chengyu looked around at the crew members, feeling that Chen Beini was getting too carried away.
“She’s such a bitch; if I don’t keep her in check, she’ll just climb higher later,” Chen Beini responded.
Many crew members couldn’t bear to listen anymore, silently cursing her as an idiot; they hoped never to see her again after this production ended.
Chen Beini’s team took the opportunity to release the news that Shi Lan was going to apologize, aiming to collapse the revenge persona Shi Lan had finally established and to tear a breakthrough for Chen Beini’s business challenges. After all, with 13 members in the Alliance treating Shi Lan as the leader of the Anti-Chen movement, if Shi Lan could be undermined, then the focus of the Alliance members would be distracted. Moreover, with An Lan as the direct victim taking the initiative to apologize, the indirect victims in the Alliance would have nothing to say.
But…some things can be utilized in reverse.
Because Shi Lan had Tang Ze release a message too, not to announce to everyone, just to inform the Anti-Chen Alliance.
“Heard that Chen Beini’s team pressured Anlan Company into promising an apology.”
“That cracks me up; suddenly feel like donating money to buy An Lan’s freedom.”
“Chen Beini’s team looking down on who? Trying to break the Anti-Chen Alliance through An Lan? Seems like Chen Beini’s team’s resources haven’t fallen hard enough. Propose we start a second wave of team building tomorrow.”
“Seconded!”
