Yun Shishi simply sidestepped the other as she made a move to leave but got suddenly tugged back by the latter.
âWhat do you want?â
âYou!â Lin Zhi grabbed her sleeve, forcing the rookie actress to face her. âWhat do you exactly want with me?! Isnât it enough that things have reached this stage?!â
âEnough?!â She inclined her head, looking frosty. âWhat do you mean by that?â
âWerenât you the one who incited the netizens to turn against me?! How could you be so vicious as to bully me online?! Hah! Youâve really gone to great lengths just to put a crackdown on my popularity!â
âCome again?â The rookie actress chuckled. âHow presumptuous of you. Who do you think you are for me to waste my efforts into? We could just have a fair competition, but you had to resort to using dirty tricks to win that award. Since youâve done such a thing, you should just own up and bear the consequences of your actions. Itâs rather low and shameless of you to push the blame onto others.â
âYou!â
Being lowly educated, the relatively more senior starlet was by far no match for the newbie once the latter started unleashing her sharp tongue. She could, as such, only glare viciously at the other with bulging eyes, wishing to slice her flesh.
âDonât glare at me that way.â
âTrust you to accuse me of being shameless. What about you, huh? Who do you think you are? You yourself are a mere entertainer. Does acting give you a sense of superiority? Hah! From what Iâve heard, youâre no more than a kept woman and a plaything of Mu Yazhe! Donât think that, just because you have things going easy right now, you can do whatever you want and act all lawlessly! Itâs only a phase! Do you think you can really become a rich mistress after hooking up with him? Youâre nothing in the eyes of the rich! You wonât even be able to get past their doorway, so donât go about with your nose in the air just because you have his backing!â
âKept woman? Plaything?â
The rookie broke into chortle when she heard those words, which were practically dripping with jealousy!
Regardless if she were just a kept woman, by the looks of it, this woman before her was still envious of such a status.
True enough; the manâs name alone was sufficient to attract bees!
Lin Zhi snapped back. âWhat? Do you think of yourself as his other half? Youâre just his dallianceâa fling at most! Heâll kick you to the curb once he gets sick and tired of you!â
âItâs exactly as you said; Iâm still in his favor. Arenât you afraid that I can have you crushed with just a finger if you keep offending me?â
The newbie artist maintained an elegant smile on her face. âBesides, Iâm no such thing.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat else do you take yourself as besides that? His wife?â With a look of disdain, she sneered. âCarry on dreaming if thatâs so!â
âHa ha... Iâm sorry to disappoint you, then.â
With a smug smile, the woman raised her hand a bit and gently moved her fingers.
On her ring finger was an enormous, dazzling diamond ring.
âW-What... Whatâs that?!â She squinted her eyes at the item. âHa ha... What a huge diamond that is. Surely, it isnât a fake?â
âOh, how pitiful you are.â The rookie shot her a sympathetic look. âHow about getting your sugar daddy to bring you out more often to see the world? If you have the money to manipulate the results of the film festival, you may as well use it to broaden your knowledge. Youâre being an embarrassment here with your lack of insight. Did you think that Iâd wear an imitation in public and treat it as a piece of treasure like you would?â
As she spoke, she cast a meaningful glance at the diamond necklace dangling on the otherâs collarbones.
The so-called high-quality imitation jewelry referred to the usage of the same raw materials to create a piece of jewelry according to the original design. While the item itself was real, the quality was comparatively lousy.
