Chapter 96 - An Outdated Actress

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Jiang Zhi stood barefooted in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in her nightgown. She searched for Jiang Xue’s phone number and dialed.

Jiang Xue, who was hungover, was lying on the sofa. The ear-piercing ringtone woke her up. She grabbed her hair in annoyance and glanced at the strange number on the screen before hanging up.

Jiang Zhi was shocked and angry. She frowned and continued to call back until Jiang Xue picked up.

The tug-of-war exhausted Jiang Zhi’s patience. She said with a warning tone, “Jiang Xue, Swallowtail has sold your agent contract to Star Glory.”

“From now on, I am your new agent. Your escort behavior last night has already caused a great impact and loss to the company. It must be stopped immediately! Please come to Star Glory to discuss your future development and the specific code of conduct. We need to talk…”

Jiang Xue felt her ears ringing and her stomach churning. She rushed to the bathroom and held the toilet bowl and vomited.

Her hair was stained with dirty vomit. Jiang Xue looked at the woman in the mirror and laughed mockingly.

“I’m a nobody in the entertainment industry. No director would come to me to film. My commercial value? Worth piss! How could Swallowtail sell me?

“How could Star Glory be so foolhardy as to spend money to buy my contract?

“You’re a liar who has looked into my situation! But I don’t have any money to give you…”

After Jiang Xue said that, she blocked Jiang Zhi’s number and knelt on the ground. She covered her face with both hands and started to cry silently.

Jiang Zhi heard the cold, soul-weary voice of a woman reminding her of the fact that she could not get through. She bit her lips and sighed deeply.

She sympathized with Jiang Xue’s suffering, but she also looked down on Jiang Xue’s cowardice and willingness to fall.

A gust of cold wind blew from outside the window. She curled up and wrapped her robe tightly. In the next second, Lu Mian pulled her into a warm embrace.

Lu Mian buried his head in her neck, and their faces were reflected on the glass window. It was an intimate scene.

Jiang Zhi felt somewhere in her heart being filled with warmth.

Lu Mian kissed her earlobe gently. Jiang Zhi giggled and dodged. “Don’t get angry over something that’s not worth it. I’ll make you something…”

Jiang Zhi nodded. She looked at Lu Mian, who was getting busy in the kitchen despite his sleepy eyes, and curled her lips.

Cheng Yi was sitting in his office reading about the entertainment industry whenever he had nothing to do. He happened to see the comments on Star Glory’s official blog and was so angry that he laughed.

A demand to change Lu Mian’s manager?

Even if Lu Mian were to somehow adopt a new family, he would never change that manager of his!

Cheng Yi pulled on the screen and found a few fans, chastising them in the most extreme of tones. He replied, “Young people, young children, you have to focus on your own matters.

“Care more about your parents and family. Don’t always focus on the private lives of celebrities. Mind your own business…”

As an investor of Star Glory, Cheng Yi represented them. This move instantly ignited a bushfire!

The fan group led by “Lu Mian’s little wife” led an uproar. They even openly questioned whether Star Glory’s operations were proper.

They took the trope of “agents sleeping with celebrities” to the top five trending results. They even took a screenshot of Cheng Yi’s reply and misinterpreted it as “The company indulges in the unspoken rules of agents,” countless fans posted the words “filthy companies must get out of the entertainment industry!”…

Ji Hao palmed his forehead helplessly, thinking to himself, how could Jiang Zhi even attract anti-fans?

He had arranged for the public relations department to suppress it overnight, but there had been no effect.

Jiang Zhi and Lu Mian had been cozying up in the villa for half a day. They did not know that the online war of words had started again.

In the evening, she sent people to investigate Jiang Xue’s whereabouts and rushed to the clubhouse, wanting to talk to her.

Jiang Zhi frowned and stopped her when she saw Jiang Xue, who had cleaned up and was now dressed beautifully. Jiang Xue only glanced at her and pushed her away forcefully. “Get out of the way!”

Jiang Xue followed the boss into the private room. She picked up two glasses of wine and drank it straight away. She smiled apologetically and allowed the fat man to hug her shoulders..

The boss was drunk, and his actions became more and more impudent. He even cussed out some unpleasant words. He wanted to harass Jiang Xue in public, so he pulled her clothes and straps forcefully.

Jiang Zhi followed outside the private room and heard Jiang Xue’s cry for help.

She kicked the door open without hesitation. Under everyone’s shocked expressions, she picked up the beer bottle on the ground and smashed it on the boss’s head!

Dong!

The other party immediately saw blood.

Jiang Xue covered her exposed skin in shock, and she was a little scared.

The people present were nothing more than nouveau riche. They wanted to be like the plutocrats who kept their mistresses. They had evil intentions, but they did not have the guts to do so!

They wanted to stand up and argue with Jiang Zhi and force Jiang Xue to stay. Jiang Zhi looked at them fiercely and said, “Whoever dares to cause trouble for her, I’ll see you at the police station!”

The arrogant bosses were instantly silenced.

Jiang Zhi grabbed Jiang Xue’s wrist and said, “Let’s go.”
