Chapter 499 - Unresigned Zhou Manning

It would have been fine if Yu Rong hadn’t mentioned this, but the moment she did, Zhou Manning’s face turned ugly again. “What kind of good person is that Chi woman?”

Yu Rong had never seen such a short-tempered “Manqing,” and felt very uncomfortable. Could it be that “Manqing’s” personality and temper had changed after entering this circle? She remembered that Manqing never liked to lose her temper in the past. No matter how angry she was, she would always speak softly.

Only when Zhou Manning saw her manager frown did she immediately calm down and return to her previous gentle and soft tone. “Sister Yu, I just didn’t expect Master Chi to do one thing and say another. I just paid her 50 million and wanted her to help me change my luck after that, but she refused. She even asked for another 100 million!”

Yu Rong’s face changed slightly. “How is that possible?” Her opinion of Celestial Master Chi was getting better and better. She really didn’t think that Master Chi was a person like that, especially when she thought of the explosive news on Weibo today.

After all, she was someone who was going to marry into the Qi family – what was 100 million?

Yu Rong said, “Manqing, this must be a misunderstanding!” As she spoke, Yu Rong specially recounted the explosive news about the Qi family on Weibo today, and said that Master Chi definitely wouldn’t care about 100 million.

That President Qi of Qi Corporation was so rich!

When Master Chi married into the Qi family in the future, she definitely wouldn’t lack money.

Zhou Manning had always fancied President Qi, but because of the malicious ghost, she could only grit her teeth and put her thoughts away for the time being.

Hearing Yu Rong’s words, Zhou Manning was so angry that she almost crushed her teeth. She snorted and blurted out, “Is she worthy of President Qi?”

Yu Rong’s face was a bit unsightly. After all, Master Chi had saved Zhou Manning before. No matter what sort of unsavoury methods she used in the entertainment industry, she wouldn’t instantly do something so ungrateful.

Yu Rong did her best to look patient as she said, “Manqing, it’s not up to us to decide if Master Chi is worthy of that President Qi, but President Qi himself. He himself acknowledged their relationship. Could it be that you’re still thinking about him? If it wasn’t for Master Chi, we might not even be alive!”

Zhou Manning couldn’t stand hearing praise for that Chi woman, and her face turned cold. “Sister Yu, are you on my or that Chi woman’s side? Do you really think that woman is good to us? I’m indeed quite grateful that she saved us before, but this woman used me to lure out that malicious ghost. Because of her, I lost half my life that night. Do you think this woman isn’t selfish enough to take personal revenge this way?”

Seeing that Yu Rong still wanted to say something, Zhou Manning said indifferently, “Forget it, Sister Yu, let’s not talk about this anymore. Since this Master Chi isn’t willing to change my luck, I can only beg someone else. By the way, Sister Yu, help me contact that Celestial Master Yang from Longhu Mountain again. No matter what the cost, I must find that Celestial Master Yang!”

Yu Rong could only nod in agreement.

“By the way, what did Director Li say?” Zhou Manning’s face turned very ugly at the thought that she might change roles.

Yu Rong didn’t know if she should say that it just wasn’t Manqing’s year. Nothing Manqing did went smoothly, and she had been injured four or five times in total. Although Director Li had given her half a month off, Manqing’s injuries would take at least a month to recover.

When Director Li found out about this, he was prepared to switch out Manqing. It was only after much persuasion that Yu Rong convinced Director Li to give Manqing the next best thing.

Manqing was now the third female lead with less screen time.

Zhou Manning, who was originally the main lead, became the third female lead in the blink of an eye. How could she reconcile herself to this?

Zhou Manning firmly believed that the problem was with her luck. No, she had to find a Celestial Master to borrow luck for her!
