Next to her was a rising starlet. She was young, wearing a backless dress that nearly revealed half her chest, and a tiny skirt that was only a tad longer than a mini, exposing two fair legs. She was standing in a pair of seventeen-centimeter tall, rivet-adorned high heels that made her presence formidable.
But most importantly, right there with them was Jiang Xuanqi! And at that moment, wearing a pristine white evening gown, she certainly looked the part of a pure white lotus. Pulled over by two girlfriends, her usually arrogant and overbearing demeanor appeared utterly haggard, with faint tear stains at the corners of her eyes, clearly not in a good mood.
The three of them quickly approached Jian Anning. The leader, with a "clack clack" of her high heels, walked haughtily up in front of Jian Anning, raised her chin, and arrogantly asked, "You’re Jian Anning?"
Jian Anning narrowed her eyes slightly, nodding with a hint of suspicion.
Then, the next second, the lead girl suddenly jumped forward and viciously slapped her!
Fortunately, Jian Anning, sensing ill intent from these three, had already stepped back to dodge. The slap did not hit her. Seeing her strike missed, the woman was indeed furious, "How dare you, vixen, try to steal our Qiqi’s man! You have no shame!"
Another one by her side immediately jumped in, "Look at you, you mistress! Stealing someone else’s man, you’re so low!"
Jian Anning was speechless. Where did they come up with this? Setting aside the fact that Yu Zexiao and Jiang Xuanqi were not a couple to begin with, even if they were, what if she did want him? So what?
They weren’t married; there was no binding commitment between them. She could take him if she wanted, and what could they do about it?
Moreover, Yu Zexiao didn’t even fancy Jiang Xuanqi in the slightest! The only reason there were "rumors" about the two of them was because Starlight Entertainment concocted the story to hype up a TV show. Others might not know the truth, but Jiang Xuanqi definitely did!
She was the one indulging in wishful thinking, really believing she could turn fiction into fact, not only getting cozy with Yu Zexiao on set but also spreading their "romance" rumors within her circle of friends!
Luckily for her, Yu Zexiao truly had no interest in Jiang Xuanqi. If he had shown Jiang Xuanqi even the slightest bit of affection... who knows what kind of story she would have spun!
Some people are just strange. They go out and steal other people’s boyfriends without hesitation, yet when the same happens to them, they immediately throw a white lotus-like tantrum!
Moreover, the place these three had chosen was very clever—the corner of the lobby. Whatever they said or did wouldn’t be seen by too many people. And even if someone did see, on one side were three major celebrities, and on the other, a mere assistant. It was obvious who would be favored in the matter!
Her slap indeed attracted the attention of a few men who had been loafing in the area. When she realized that one of them was the Crown Prince of Xingmao High Tech, Jiang Xuanqi’s demeanor became even more pitiable.
She slightly lowered her eyelids in sadness, "Please don’t be . What’s the use of saying these things, of blaming others now that it’s come to this? In the end, it’s my fault... otherwise, he wouldn’t have..."
As she spoke, her exquisitely made-up face drooped, along with an expression of exhaustion.
