Chapter 53 - Unrepentant

“Shen Yan!” Fu Xiaoxiao walked up to Shen Yan with a fake smile plastered on her face. She was here to deliver food to her good friend, Lin Lan, today. Lin Lan was an A-list celebrity, and she also played an important role in the drama this time. “Why isn’t the man you kept here?”

Fu Xiaoxiao’s words instantly drew the attention of everyone in the dressing room. The crowd looked at Shen Yan curiously. All of them were curious about who Shen Yan kept.

Lin Lan, who was sitting not far away, stopped eating. She lifted her eyes and looked at Shen Yan. Back then, her manager wanted to help her get the position of the female lead, but she could only play other roles because Old Master Jin had already reserved the role for the female lead.

Lin Lan looked at Shen Yan’s back with a hint of hatred in her eyes. If it was not for Shen Yan, Old Master Jin would have made her the female lead. It was all Shen Yan’s fault!

Lin Lan did not believe that Shen Yan did not have a sponsor backing her up. She just could not understand how Shen Yan’s sponsor could allow her to keep another man.

“Fu Xiaoxiao, what else can you do apart from being full of nonsense?” Shen Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and put a piece of meat in her mouth. After swallowing it, she continued, “Stop trying to appear in front of me for no reason. My stomach turns when I look at you, as you’re so ugly!”

“You…” Fu Xiaoxiao wanted to splash Shen Yan with a glass of water but was worried that the water would splash on her, so she said disdainfully, “Shen Yan, the reason you’re able to get so many resources is because of the sponsor backing you up. Does your sponsor know that you have another lover?”

There were other people in the dressing room. Everyone looked at Shen Yan with interest when they heard what Fu Xiaoxiao said.

It was normal for a celebrity to be kept. However, the celebrity must definitely not get involved with other people when being kept, as the sponsor would be angry after finding out.

Fu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and inquired, “Tell me, what do you think your sponsor would do after he finds out?”

Shen Yan looked at the food in her lunch box. She had completely lost her appetite. Then, she placed the lunchbox on the table and stood up calmly. Her gaze fell on Fu Xiaoxiao and wondered somewhat helplessly, “Fu Xiaoxiao, what kind of person do you think can be my financial backer?”

The topic of Shen Yan being kept was a popular subject on the internet. The enthusiastic netizens were all curious about who was keeping Shen Yan, but they still could not find any clues after investigating for a long time.

With a smile on her lips, Shen Yan looked at Fu Xiaoxiao without turning her eyes. She continued, “You should find out who my sponsor is first before you even have the chance to tattle!”

Fu Xiaoxiao was rendered speechless. No matter how hard the Fu family investigated, they could not find Shen Yan’s sponsor. With a cold face, she muttered, “Just you wait. I will definitely find out!”

Lin Lan was on good terms with Fu Xiaoxiao. Although her sponsor took good care of her, she managed to obtain a lot of resources because of her relationship with Fu Xiaoxiao. Thus, she naturally had to stand up for Fu Xiaoxiao at this time.

“Don’t be angry, Teacher Shen. There are no secrets in the entertainment industry. We will be able to find out the identity of your sponsor sooner or later,” Lin Lan said as she walked up to Fu Xiaoxiao and gave her a reassuring look, “Teacher Shen’s acting is so skilled. It seems that you have put in a lot of hard work in front of your sponsor!”

Lin Lan was implying that Shen Yan had always subdued to her sponsor’s wishes, which was the reason for her good acting skills.

Fu Xiaoxiao burst out laughing and applauded impudently. She added, “Shen Yan, are you wagging your tail and begging like a dog in front of your sponsor? Hah! You’re worse than an animal!”

“Slap!”

“Slap!”

Shen Yan sharply slapped Lin Lan and Fu Xiaoxiao. At this moment, the dressing room was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping on the floor could be heard.

No one dared to continue watching the show anymore. All of them lowered their heads and did their own things, while some got so scared that they ran out secretly.

“If you guys ever say those words in front of me again in the future, I don’t mind teaching you how to speak.” Shen Yan looked at her slightly reddened palm. She clicked her tongue and continued, “Next time, I’ll just use the sole of my shoe to hit you! My hand hurts now.”

“Y-You dare to hit me?!” Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Yan in disbelief. Her voice trembled, and she looked as if she wanted to tear Shen Yan apart directly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“So what if I hit you? Why wouldn’t I dare?” Shen Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, “It’s not like I haven’t hit you before. It would be a miracle if someone like you can get married in the future.”

“How dare you curse me?!” Fu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, and she panted heavily. “I’ll let my second brother…”

Before Fu Xiaoxiao could finish her words, she felt a tug on her arm. She turned her head to look and saw that half of Lin Lan’s face was swollen.

“Lin Lan, are you okay?” Fu Xiaoxiao glared at Shen Yan viciously before turning to look at Lin Lan with a concerned face.
