Yan Qingsi was standing outside the powder room. After hearing what Ye Shaoguang had to say, Yan Qingsi’s mind was a mess — she felt that whatever she thought was true before this might not be it after all.
Yan Qingsi had a headache and wanted to rest. Just as she was about to enter the powder room, she heard actresses who were resting in the room talking about her.
“Sigh, what kind of horrible thing Yan Qingsi must have done to be hunted down by people.”
“Who knows? After sleeping with so many men, I think there must be a line of people who want her dead.”
“That’s right. I feel bad for the one who blocked the knife for her. Tsk, so stupid, and I heard that it was her boyfriend’s mother too. Who knows how many times her son had been cheated on…”
“That aunty is dumb. She might actually treat Yan Qingsi as a precious baby too, so dumb…”
“Dang!” The door was opened, and the actresses stopped talking the moment they saw Yan Qingsi. Their faces changed as they said, “Sister Qingsi, we… we’re not…”
Yan Qingsi’s expression was cold. “Keep talking.”
“I… we… sorry, we’re dumb, please be the bigger person and not stoop to our level– we… are not as good as you. We’re just… trying to make a living…” The actress’s face turned white, and she did not even dare to look Yan Qingsi in the eye.
Yan Qingsi approached her, raised her hand, and swept her lunchbox off the table — food was spilled all over the floor.
Yan Qingsi pointed at the dusty food and said, “Eat, eat it, and I’ll pretend like I didn’t hear you.”
“I’m… sorry, I was in the moment, can’t I just apologize to you?”
Yan Qingsi had no expression. “No, I don’t accept it.”
The other time when they were talking about her in the toilet, Yan Qingsi did not bother — she just ignored whatever people were talking about her.
However, this time, they should not have dragged Mrs. Yue into it. They should not have used Mrs. Yue as a joke.
Yan Qingsi stared at that woman. “Eat it… words that have already been said, water that has already been poured away, and rice that has already been thrown out, if you can eat it, I’ll pretend like you didn’t say it.”
“You, it’s already dirty, how can I eat it?”
“Your words were already dirty since you don’t bother that you have a potty mouth. What’s wrong with food that’s a little dirty?”
Yan Qingsi had a sinister smile on her face. “Today, it’s either you eat it, or… I’ll hold you down to eat it.”
The other actress said through gritted teeth, “Yan Qingsi, don’t go overboard in bullying. We were only said a few things. If you were really innocent, what are you afraid of?”
“That’s right, it was just a few things. Why do you have to force people into a corner?”
“Even if you were bullying someone, no one does it to this extent…”
Yan Qingsi laughed — this was yet another person telling her that she was going too far and she was a bully. It seemed like, that was all she heard of herself lately.
But who was truly the one going overboard?
Did she want to be like this? She grew up with a real, cruel, and shameless truth — she was alone against the malicious world.
Now, she just wanted the people who had hurt her to experience her pain, and people are voicing out against it.
Everyone was forcing her to forgive people who had hurt her. Everyone was saying that she was too inhumane, too cruel, too vicious.
Everyone was pointing at her saying ‘you shouldn’t be like this, you should let go, you should be the bigger person. If you stop forcing people into a corner, they won’t do anything to you.’
It was just like how everyone called her a vile woman, a mistress but she had only ever slept with Yue Tingfeng.
