Chapter 110: 110 is not pretending, it’s really poor
But this time, even Gu Chengyu couldn’t hold back. After pacifying Chen Beini, he stormed towards Shi Lan and demanded, “Does it really have to be ? You took ‘Glory’, you got the Asia Pacific endorsement. Isn’t it time to stop? What good does this do for the cast or for yourself?”
“When you truly feel sorry for cyberbullying me, regret it deeply, and think about kneeling down to ask for my forgiveness, then come and talk to me about stopping!” Shi Lan looked up, her reply brief and forceful.
“Aren’t you sitting here just fine? I’ve apologized to you as well, what exactly do you want?”
“How about this, you go lie on the rescue platform for a bit, go through everything I’ve been through, then I’ll consider us even. How about that?” Shi Lan’s expression grew impatient, the influential woman had no tolerance for a fool like Gu Chengyu, who was barely on the same wavelength as her.
Gu Chengyu rubbed his forehead, apparently also losing patience, pressed down his anger and asked, “Is there no getting past this, An Lan? Beini has already lost a top-tier endorsement because of this. Isn’t that enough?”
“Really? That’s actually good news, and as for this matter, never think it’s over.”
This time Gu Chengyu didn’t persist and returned to Chen Beini with a face ashen.
“What did that bitch say?”
“She said unless we kneel and apologize, this matter isn’t over.”
Upon hearing Gu Chengyu’s words, Chen Beini went mad in her chair, but there was nothing she could do about Shi Lan. She cursed incessantly throughout the afternoon, spitting vile words: “Crazy, sick, she’s truly a fucking lunatic!”
All the staff members of the crew heard this, and thought after such a time, they had come to understand who the real white lotus and sly fox were, and it was definitely not the cool and aloof An Lan, but rather a certain indescribable National Couple; the woman being the white lotus and the man the sly fox, naturally a perfect match.
Logically, Chen Beini was the female lead, and her rank should have been enough to crush Shi Lan. Yet, Shi Lan’s acting just played her, once the cameras rolled, Chen Beini couldn’t even force tears, and with An Lan’s revenge persona in place, whatever she did to Chen Beini was “justified” after all, who had Beini exposed her privacy and incited fans to cyberbully her first?
On Weibo, due to Shi Lan’s provocation, the Alliance’s morale was high. Wherever Chen Beini’s fans showed up, there was their determination to stifle Beini’s supporters. The National Couple’s afternoon PR ultimately turned into a step for Shi Lan to regain popularity among the general populace. With one thing leading to another, the teams of both companies, despite their displeasure, had to hold it in, and to stabilize An Lan, they were already considering a private negotiation with Tianwang Entertainment.
In their eyes, An Lan had always been weak and easy to bully, so how had she suddenly become so assertive? Perhaps she had new backing?
No, that’s impossible. There hadn’t been any significant movements heard in the circle, and though everyone was puzzled why ‘Glory’ decided to make the relatively unknown An Lan the Asia Pacific spokesperson, if there was financial backing, they would have heard something.
So, this An Lan truly was puzzling.
Capital? Miss Shi herself was the greatest capital.
However, though Shi Lan had staged this drama with ‘Glory’, she had her own way of playing dumb and boasting poverty. Whoever asked her would just hear her say she was lucky, then she continued to boast and pretend to be poor—oh, not pretend, she was actually poor, given that not a penny of the seven-figure endorsement had gone into her pocket.
Thinking about it truly made one furious!
