When Chen Yuan heard her tone, he couldn’t care less about his sadness. He suddenly raised his head and wanted to sit up. “Sister Nian, don’t worry about this.”
He was afraid of implicating Qiao Nian. He was really afraid of implicating her.
“I didn’t say I wanted to interfere.” Qiao Nian rotated her wrist. Her jawline was smooth and her half-narrowed eyes were dark and deep. They were extremely wild. “My hands are just itchy. I want to teach a few scumbags a lesson!”
Qiao Chen returned to the Shen Family villa in the wealthy district. When she entered, she obediently changed into her slippers at the entrance. When she saw the person in the living room, she quickly said softly, “I’m back.”
Wei Ling had just returned from the Wei family. For the past few days, she had been running from the piano association, the Wei family, and the family members. She had been running from these three in a row, making her feel irritable. Her thick makeup couldn’t hide her fatigue. When she saw Qiao Chen returning from outside, she pressed her hand against her temple and relaxed slightly. She leaned back on the sofa and asked, “I heard from the chauffeur that you went to eat with a friend?”
Qiao Chen stopped in front of her and said respectfully, “They know I finished my exam and asked me out for lunch.”
She paused and added, “Wen Ziyu was there, too.”
Wei Ling turned her head and raised her eyebrows as a smile appeared on her face. “It seems like you get along well with him!”
“We’re all friends… We were just having a meal together. We’re not that familiar with each other.” Qiao Chen lowered her head hypocritically and bashfully. She didn’t dare to tell Wei Ling that she felt that Wen Ziyu didn’t like her and had kept refuting her during the meal.
Wei Ling didn’t take her words to heart. She adjusted her shawl and said disapprovingly, “You’ll get familiar with him after a few more times. If you can build a relationship with him, it’ll be much easier for you to enter this circle in the future. The Wen family may not be outstanding in Beijing, but don’t think that they’re ordinary. Have you heard of Wen Ruxia?”
Qiao Chen had yet to react when she heard this name. She froze and quickly searched in her memories.
Wei Ling didn’t mention this name because she wanted her to guess. She also knew that since she was young, she had never encountered the top circle of the city, let alone the ones in Beijing.
She couldn’t help but look down on her. She whispered, “You must have heard of the boss of Huading Media, right?”
Qiao Chen had heard of this company before. Hearing the contempt and slight in Wei Ling’s tone, she pursed her lips and clenched her fists. Afraid that Wei Ling would see her, she immediately let go and nodded obediently. “I know. It’s one of the largest media companies in the country.”
She had previously been in the Internet celebrity circle and posted photos on Weibo, sharing her fair, rich, and beautiful life to attract fans.
Previously, she had wanted to be a celebrity. She wanted to use it to package herself and then use her fame to enter upper-class society.
However, after coming to Beijing for two months, she had already dispelled this thought.
After interacting with Wei Ling in the real circle, she realized that the people in this circle looked down on celebrities the most. No matter how famous a celebrity was, they were still inferior. The second-generation celebrities in the circle also chased after celebrities, but they were different from ordinary people. They only treated celebrities as toys and never took them seriously.
Even the A-listers could only carefully support these people in this circle.
Qiao Chen immediately understood. She had wanted to be a celebrity only to enter the upper circles. However, the upper circles did not take fame seriously and even looked down on celebrities.. Therefore, she had given up on this idea.
