All of a sudden, everyone understood how the actress managed to get her hands on excellent resources. It turned out that she had been using such dirty tricks.
...
âThatâs what happened; I heard it myself.â The assistant informed her charge.
Surprise and fury surfaced on Yun Shishiâs face as she furrowed her brows and scoffed. âI went to seduce Gao Nan?! What a well-written script! Itâs a pity that those people arenât working as scriptwriters!â
She reckoned that that must be the greatest joke she had ever heard thus far. âPlus, even if I were blind, Iâd never go seduce a scumbag like him. Whatever resources he can offer me, Qin Zhou is more than capable of getting them for me. I wonât demean myself to that extent!â
âThatâs what Ji Yan said, though. She even made it sound so convincing. I got so upset by what I heard that I went up to rebut that bunch of gossipmonger, but I ended up getting bombarded by them, instead! Thereâs no stopping their mouths, so I eventually got tired of arguing with them. Shishi, just because you usually treat the production crew well doesnât mean that theyâre all on your side. Itâs inevitable that others will get jealous of you because you debuted with ace resources right from the get-go. Even though they treat you with respect on the surface, thereâs no telling if theyâre speculating the number of sugar daddies behind you.â
Mu Xi then added, âI know that you wonât do such a thing, though. Trust those birdbrains to buy that actressâs exaggerated lies! Why would you seduce her boyfriend when you got Chairman Mu and Xingze? Any of the two is so much more of a heavyweight than that guy. Then again, those people are just fence-sitters who believe whatever they hear.â
âWhat right do they have to say that of me?â The actress was beyond furious. âThis is clearly an outright defamation of character!â
âWell, thatâs showbiz for you. Itâs common for people to kick you when youâre down,â replied the assistant, then she went to explain. âBesides, ever since your debut, youâve acted in several well-received IP shows. The scripts, commercials, and even fashion resources youâve got are way better than all the other female starlets, and that includes Lin Zhi. Those people made their conjectures about you because theyâre jealous of you.â
âIâm not particularly close to them in the first place, but I do show friendliness toward them. Even though I donât expect them to sing praises about my character, I, at least, expect that I wonât make enemies out of them.â
âThatâs too naïve of you!â
âHow about Hua Jin?â asked her charge all of a sudden. âHeâs there with me that night and he saw what happened between Gao Nan and me; the others may not believe me, but surely theyâll believe his words.â
âDidnât his face get injured?â She told the actress. âFilming will only end up getting delayed if he does his scenes in an injured state, so the director told him to take the day off and recuperate at home, instead.â
âOh...â
So heâs on medical leave!
No wonder rumors about me are all over the place...
If heâs here, he surely wonât allow them to talk trash about me.
Yun Shishi could not help feeling infuriated at the thought of this.
As her assistant took the foundation pact from her hand, the lady said with a sigh, âLetâs get you ready for filming first. Although Iâm also incensed by what Iâve heard, we still have to do our job right.â
The assistant had learned a thing or two about cosmetics in the past, so her techniques were pretty good.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The actress drew in a sharp intake of breath in a bid to keep a lid on her anger, then she curled her lips upward slowly. âHonestly, Iâm quite surprised to know that Gao Nan said such things about me. Yes, heâs a scoundrel, but he tends to speak frankly and doesnât seem the type to do ridiculous things, such as accuse me of things I didnât do.â
âYouâve known him even before that night?â
Mu Xi could not help but be surprised by this fact, for she thought that her charge had met the man for the first time at the party.
