“Zhuang Heng, I…”


  “You’re still trying to argue, huh? The audience is not blind. Everyone saw you stretching your leg out and you still have the cheek to blame it on Little Pepper. Are you that poor? If Little Pepper hadn’t shown you mercy, you’d probably have become crippled.”


  Li Li bit her lower lip tightly and looked at Lin Chenggong with tears in her eyes.

  He was the one who told her to create trouble for Yan Jinyi!

  Lin Chenggong winked at Li Li.

  Yan Jinyi saw all their interaction. “I’m not a petty person. You just have to apologize to me and I’ll let it go.”


  ‘Apologize?’


  ‘How dare Yan Jinyi ask me to apologize?’


  ‘Is she kidding!?’


  Liu Ran, who had created a saintly and kindhearted image for herself in the entertainment industry, stood up abruptly when she heard those words. Staring at Yan Jinyi with contempt, she said, “We’re both actresses and I feel ashamed to have a colleague like you. Everyone saw you stepping on Li Li’s feet for no reason. We all know how much it hurts to be stepped on by high heels.”


  “She wanted to put her foot out herself, what’s it got to do with me?”


  Liu Ran had a good reputation among the actresses, and most of the newbies had great respect for her. Therefore, she thought that Yan Jinyi would more or less give her some respect, but she never thought that Yan Jinyi would be so arrogant.

  Her expression changed and she looked heartbroken and dismayed. “How can you be so rude? I was sympathetic towards you at first because of the matter between you and Cheng Ruoxue, but now it seems that you are to blame.”


  ‘Why are there more lunatics in this era than the ancient times?’


  ‘If she really pisses me off again, I’ll kill off all of them. At most, I’ll return to the underworld and line up for another 500 years.’


  “On the account of Director Lin and I, you just have to apologize and we can solve this issue. I believe it won’t reflect well on any of us if this becomes viral.”


  ‘Hah, I’m so hot-tempered.’


  Unable to tolerate it any longer, Yan Jinyi lost her temper. “On your account? You don’t carry any weight at all. I didn’t want to get physical with you, but you’re just asking for it. Let me tell you, you ought to be thankful that we’re living in a civilized society now. If this is in the past, I’d definitely strip you naked and hang you at the entrance of the fortress so that everyone can see you.”


  Liu Ran was so infuriated that she was shivering uncontrollably from head to toe. ‘What does Zhuang Heng see in this woman?’


  “Yan Jinyi, don’t you go too far. We won’t let this go just like that. Just you wait!”


  Lin Chenggong shook his cellphone and said, “Once this video is posted online, your reputation will be completely ruined.”


  Tao Wei felt that it was time for him to step in.

  He walked over and stood in front of Yan Jinyi. Glaring at Lin Chenggong menacingly, he retorted, “Do you think you’re the only one who has a cellphone? I do too, and I’ve recorded all of your lowly and unscrupulous tricks! Let’s see who’s reputation gets ruined!”


  Stunned, Lin Chenggong thought to himself, ‘What does Tao Wei mean by that?’


  Tao Wei clicked on the video and played it. It happened to be the scene of Li Li extending her foot.

  “Ah, so the evildoer is accusing someone else of the misdeed they’ve done! You’ve got such a terrible team and you still want to cooperate with me. Dream on,” Zhuang Heng remarked sarcastically.

  Everyone fell silent.

  Lin Chenggong did not expect Tao Wei to be so despicable.

  Seeing the defeated expressions of Lin Chenggong and others, Tao Wei was secretly rejoiced and felt thankful that he had fortunately decided to be careful and started recording everything before they did, knowing that Lin Chenggong would create trouble.

  Liu Ran also froze and looked at Li Li who was hanging her head low. She clenched her fists.

  She looked up with a feeble smile. “I’m sorry for being too agitated just now. I just couldn’t stand seeing newcomers being bullied. After all, I’ve been in their shoes before.”
