Chapter 438: Ask Her to Back Off!
He, like Jiang Xinyue, had been in a high and powerful position at KT Entertainment for a long time, and yet this was the first time he had ever been in such a sorry state.
Facing this man, however, they dared not overstep.
“Mr. Li, Mr. Li…” Jiang Xinyue saw her boyfriend scolded until he was drenched in shame, looking so miserable that his face turned pale, and she opened her mouth to apologize.
But the man at the head of the table didn’t give her any chance, as he stood up. His stern and profound gaze landed on her, the chill of it seemingly enough to make one’s bones feel the draft.
“Remember from now on, never to appear in front of Rong Yan again. If you accidentally run into her, make sure to retreat quickly! Otherwise, you won’t need to stay in the entertainment industry any longer.”
Remember from now on, never to appear in front of Rong Yan again. If you accidentally run into her, make sure to retreat quickly!
Everyone doubted if they had heard wrong.
Jiang Xinyue was a top celebrity!
In terms of seniority, status, fan base, and popularity, she was absolutely not someone Rong Yan could currently match.
Yet this man demanded Jiang Xinyue to stay away, this protective and domineering attitude left everyone speechless.
It also made those who originally thought Rong Yan was just clinging to a powerful figure, becoming Li Shengxiao’s kept mistress, take the matter even more seriously, their hearts chilling with the realization.
Even if Rong Yan was merely a mistress, if she was someone this esteemed figure cared for, she was not someone they could afford to offend!
Jiang Xinyue’s face turned ashen, as if slathered with a layer of flour, the paleness stiff. Yet facing the man’s condescending gaze, she couldn’t utter a single word of refusal. With a defeated face, she meekly said, “Yes, I understand, Mr. Li.”
She was regretful, truly regretful.
She regretted believing the absurd rumors spreading through the company without clarifying with her boyfriend and presumptuously using them to scheme against someone. She had thought she was only dealing with a minor eighteen-line celebrity, only to kick a steel plate.
The backing behind that Rong Yan turned out to be so frightening!
She could already feel that she wasn’t taken away by the police like Kim Yien had been, thanks to the face she had built up over the years at KT Entertainment and for Levin’s sake. Otherwise, her end would have been as miserable as Kim Yien’s or worse.
Thankfully, it was only her resources that were stripped away. Being put on ice for a while, along with a few days’ detention at the police station. Compared to disappearing completely from Capital City, this might be the best possible outcome…
Even as Jiang Xinyue kept convincing herself in her mind that she had got off lightly, the thought of Li Chunyu replacing her as the female lead in Director Stephen’s film, and being deprived of all resources, endorsements, and gigs, and put on ice, her heart couldn’t stop bleeding, wishing the stone yesterday had hit her own head instead of facing this outcome.
After all, competition in the entertainment industry is fierce.
Even if she was a top star, it did not guarantee that she wouldn’t fall from grace.
If she disappeared from the public eye for a while and then returned, whether there was still a place for her in the circle was uncertain. But what’s done was done, even if she had shattered her teeth, she had to swallow the blood with them, having stepped on a landmine herself…
Unlike everyone at KT Entertainment, who were still in shock and couldn’t recover, Rong Yan had no idea that Li Shengxiao had gone to KT to stand up for her.
She went back to Dihor Garden to bathe, changed her clothes, made some porridge, and then took a taxi to the hospital.
