Because Tong Xi is Director Weng’s relative, Ji Wei has been tolerating her inexplicable provocations for the past few days. After all, the consequences of offending a director, for an actress, are obvious. She had to endure it before she could reunite with Leng Yan. Besides, now is not the time to stir up bad gossip that could ruin her image in front of Leng Yan.
"Did I say something specific?" Watching Ji Wei’s unhappy retreating figure, Tong Xi intentionally raised her voice, speaking with a sarcastic laugh: "I’m just talking about some people in real life. Some people just like doing that sort of thing. I’m curious, how can someone be so shameless as to enjoy destroying others’ families and willingly become the woman of a married man? Everybody, don’t you think such people are really shameless?"
Laughter from some people immediately echoed around the set, not loud, but clear enough to reach Ji Wei’s ears, causing her to stop abruptly.
Don’t take it personally, don’t take it personally!
She bit her lips, persuading herself twice, and then lifted her foot to continue walking forward.
Everyone had seen that entertainment tabloid clearly, and many people had secretly cursed her. What Tong Xi was saying now clearly pinned her down as the target of their accusations. However, she couldn’t show she was too angry, or wouldn’t that just confirm their suspicions?
Ji Wei’s forced calmness didn’t escape Tong Xi’s eyes, and she smiled smugly, nudging the actress standing next to her, also the second female lead in the show, and deliberately stirred the pot: "Mei Xing, what do you think of such a person?"
Mei Xing used to be the lead actress at Qingcheng Entertainment, and Ji Wei’s arrival stole her spotlight, making her already quite resentful. Now that she found an opportunity, how could she let it go? Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly as she glanced at Ji Wei, laughing lightly: "Some people really are shameless, snatching money, status, men, everything. But I wonder what tricks they use to make men surrender so easily. Could it be..."
Mei Xing deliberately drew out her words, saying playfully: "Could she be acting like a certain woman in a drama, crying, making trouble, and threatening to hang herself?"
Mei Xing was mocking her for the suicide scene in the drama she was starring in, and it naturally reminded her of her real-life suicide attempt.
Ji Wei clenched her teeth, walking even faster. She didn’t dare stop, afraid she might lose control and slap both Tong Xi and Mei Xing.
Although she really wanted to do so, now was not the time!
Sitting in the nanny van, her chest heaved violently with anger, and her little assistant quickly handed her a glass of water, angrily cursing both Ji Wei and Mei Xing, then gently comforting her: "Sister Ji, don’t be angry with those two. Once you’re really together with Young Master Leng, you’ll be the boss lady of Qingcheng Entertainment, and those two women will naturally have to keep their mouths shut. Hmph, not only that, but they’ll also be scrambling to suck up to you every day."
Yes, there will be a time to deal with them! Stay calm for now, stay calm!
After sipping the cold tea and hearing the assistant’s words, Ji Wei’s heart lightened considerably. Looking at her phone, she hesitated whether to call Leng Yan or not.
When it comes to Leng Yan, she desperately wishes she could win his heart back within a day. But she doesn’t dare to pursue him too eagerly, fearing it might annoy him. Yet she really wishes he were by her side, letting her lean on his shoulder like three years ago, where she could rest whenever she was tired.
But what excuse should she use to call him?
Rolling up her sleeves slightly, she stared at the ugly bandage wrapped by her assistant, her lips slightly curved upward as she picked up her phone.
