When Qiao Yihan left, she was escorted out by security guards.
But the matter was far from over, for the Boss had officially declared war on Zhou Yi.
The minor actors in the crew didn’t dare to spread the video of Shi Lan onscreen, for they knew it was a major weapon in the Boss’s victory. However, for Shi Lan, whether they spread it or not didn’t matter much because she had more than just that one video in her hands. Thıs content belongs to novel-fire.ɴet
This was at best a tasty appetizer.
After dealing with Qiao Yihan, Shi Lan left the set with Tang Ze and Deng Lishan.
Xi Cheng had just finished removing his makeup and was coming out of the makeup room when he saw Deng Lishan, and subconsciously headed in their direction.
After exchanging a nod with Shi Lan, he was supposed to pass Deng Lishan by, but just as they were about to brush past each other, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "My alma mater back home is quite reputable, have you considered staying?"
Deng Lishan felt as though she had been struck by lightning, her body instantly freezing, but quickly, she recovered and shook off Xi Cheng’s grasp.
Because she didn’t want to demean herself just to please someone.
Xi Cheng didn’t insist, watching Deng Lishan leave, he slid his hands back into his pockets.
At that moment, other colleagues from the set witnessed this scene, but this was Xi Cheng, a future gem of the entertainment world, did they have the standing to make a statement?
Ah, I’m really not used to this!
Are mechanics all this fun nowadays? Even superstars love to play the role!
The moment Deng Lishan was pulled back, she wasn’t without a stirring in her heart, but to turn around and wag her tail like a servile dog at someone’s beck and call, would she still be herself? Although she knew that wasn’t what Xi Cheng meant.
But she didn’t want to be a fawning dog.
She had her own life and plans.
Normally, entanglements like the one with Xi Cheng could happen hundreds of times a day among ordinary people, but in the entertainment industry, every little thing could be blown out of proportion. Moreover, the cyberbullying incident had made her experience the pain her brother once endured. She felt that she needed to grow, to not let this bitter lesson go to waste.
As for Xi Cheng, their entanglement this time was too deep, like thorns grown into her bones; she wouldn’t forget the night in the hotel when she broke down in agony.
Xi Cheng watched Deng Lishan leave without saying a word.
He knew this young lady had taken a heavy blow, rolling with the adults of the Shi Family and emerging bruised all over.
He also knew that the young lady needed time to heal her injuries.
He didn’t arrogantly think that Deng Lishan still couldn’t let go of him. He just didn’t want her to have made the decision to go abroad on a whim. He hoped every one of her choices was well-considered.
Knowing now that Deng Lishan hadn’t acted rashly, he suddenly felt relieved and at peace.
The only thing left in Xi Cheng’s heart now was blessings for Deng Lishan.
Such a girl, full of courage, would shine no matter where she went.
On the other side, Shi Lan had already opened up a second battlefield.
By brazenly encircling Zhou Yi, it meant she was announcing to the world that a battle between her and Zhou Yi was imminent.
During the past few months of the Boss’s pregnancy, she had no intention of taking lives; after all, she should accumulate virtues for the baby, but some people were not afraid of death and seemed eager to deliver their heads on a platter.
However, Shi Lan’s sudden declaration of war against the highly esteemed Zhou Yi seemed uncertain in the eyes of the public.
After all, Zhou Yi’s years of prestige and reputation stood there, and even a war god might not necessarily be able to defeat Zhou Yi.
Others might stand no chance at all, for no one would believe it.
But this was Shi Lan; even if she sounded arrogant, the outside world wouldn’t dare to underestimate her, for what she excelled in was turning the tide in her favor.
