Yun Liu felt anxious when she saw that everyone was ignoring her. Now, no one was willing to offer her an out. She secretly regretted it and could only continue to act pitifully. She didnât eat or leave; she just sat there and cried.
A chicken wing landed on her plate. She looked up in shock and saw Shi Xiu smiling innocently at her. âDonât be sad, Yun Liu,â Shi Xiu told her. âDidnât you say youâve never eaten my sister-in-lawâs cooking? This is a rare opportunity to try some! I believe you when you say you donât Imow what your manager did! I think your fans will believe you, too!â
âAfter all, the masses have a clear idea of what happened! I went through something similar when our movie was first released. There were rumors about me everywhere; they said the movieâs female lead was a gangster, slept around, took drugs, had tattoos, and stayed out all night. All sorts of rumors were flying around, and some reporters even asked directly to my face if any of it was true. It really ticked me off! I was so mad!â Shi Xiu gritted her teeth as she finished speaking, and Mai Fen and the others were dumbfounded. âWhat?! You, a gangster?!â They all looked at Shi Nian and Yun Nan, silently demanding them to explain the matter.
Yun Nan smiled and informed them, âThe movie had some bumps along the way. The female lead quit when we just started filming due to personal reasons, so it was an impromptu decision to have Shi Xiu take the role. We kept it a secret, so the public didnât know who the lead actress was until the movieâs release.â
Yan Tang sneered, âSo they just made things up arbitrarily? These media outlets are really too unscrupulous. They really should be taught a lesson!â
Shi Xiu nodded in agreement. âYeah, you said it! I was so mad! My brother was there at the premiere, and he was furious. Oh, by the way, the reporter who spearheaded the whole mess there said he got the news from Yun Entertainment. Isnât that your company, Yun Liu?â
Yun Liu had just recovered a little color but turned pale again upon hearing this. âThe company wouldnât do something like that! Thatâs impossible!â She denied it, but her tone was no longer as loud and confident as before.
âWe also think Yun Entertainment would never do such a wicked thing!â Shi Xiu sighed. âYun Liu, this is a serious case of slander! I think you should sue those media outlets and put an end to this improper conduct! Teach them a lesson they wonât forget!â
Yun Liu bit her lip. âWhy donât you sue them?â
âMe? Who says I didnât sue? My brother had his men record down every piece of nonsense the media outlets were spreading. He had all of his corporationâs lawyers working on this; we sent demand letters to every unscrupulous media outlet and rumor-monger. We have zero tolerance for such misdemeanor!â
After she said this, Shi Xiu viciously bit down on a piece of bone and spat it out.
Yun Liu looked away from Shi Xiu when she heard this; she didnât want to talk about this anymore.
However, Shi Xiu suddenly remembered something and uttered, âOh, speaking of which, I remember a lavvyer telling me once that quite a few of those rumor-mongersâ IDs belong to the Yun Corporation! Iâm certain you had nothing to do with this, Yun Liuâyou probably didnât know anything about it! Your manager at the time wasâwas⊠Ding Pei! Thatâs right, her! Gosh, the police later found out Ding Pei was the one behind our original lead actressâ abduction. Imagine that!â Shi Xiu sighed and shook her head.
Yun Liu replied with a cold expression, âWell, in that case, you should thank Ding Pei. If it werenât for her, you wouldnât have been able to play the female lead!â
Shi Xiuâs smile froze, and she looked at Yun Liu. âHow can you say that, Yun Liu? What a malicious person you are to say such things!â
Alarmed, Yun Liu rushed to explain herself, âThatâThatâs not what I meant.
Shi Xiuâs smile disappeared. âThen, what do you mean? Gao Bei is a living human being. Did you not watch the press conference she held? Her entire life was ruined just like that, all because of Ding Peiâs selfishness. What was Ding Pei trying to achieve? Donât tell me she used such despicable methods and ruined peopleâs lives so she could stop Yun Nan from filming her movie?â
Yun Liu panicked. âI donât know. How should I know? Ding Pei was the one who did all that! What does it have to do with me? I donât know anything!â
Shi Xiu looked at her and detachedly remarked, âPeople say youâre modest and indifferent to the spotlight, but I didnât think you could be this cloistered! You didnât know your former manager was a human trafficker, just like you didnât Imow your current manager instructed your mother to cause trouble at my sister-in-lawâs studio! It must be nice being so sheltered!â
Yun Liu began to cry once more. âI know⊠you donât like me⊠you canât stand me⊠so youâre always targeting me⊠My family isnât as wealthy as yours⊠my resources arenât as good as yours⊠and Iâm not as pretty as you⊠Dear sweet Yun Nan, Iâm not as good as you in anything⊠Canât you just leave me be?â
She sniffled and continued, âWhy do you constantly come at me like this? What did I do wrong? Why do you hate me so much? And you, Yun Nan! You both hate me, but I feel hurt, too. I donât even know what I did wrong to make you two hate me so much..â
