"You can’t just blabber! Zexiao and I..." At this point, she was too embarrassed to say, "We’re not in that kind of relationship," but in front of others, she would absolutely not admit to having an affair with Yu Zexiao!
Xiaoliu stuck out her tongue: "Don’t worry, I won’t go around snitching. Actually, it’s not just me; everyone on the set knows you two are dating. It’s no surprise since you’re way nicer than Jiang Xuanqi. If Jiang Xuanqi were the one who had fallen that day, I fear she would have skinned me alive!"
"The incident that day was an accident." Clearly, the one who made the mistake wasn’t her, yet Jian Anning still had to fruitlessly explain: "I can explain, we..."
"Don’t you know that explaining is just concealing?" Xiaoliu laughed, "Actually, it’s alright, aside from me, basically everyone in the crew can see it—Yu Zexiao, he treats you differently!"
As she spoke, she even winked: "Actually, quite a few people in the crew have been spreading rumors about you, saying that because you are Yu Zexiao’s assistant, you were the first to benefit from your proximity to him. They also say that you must have used some really nasty tricks in private, making him devoted to you, and even Jason often speaks up for you. Not to mention, Mr. Situ from afar seems to have fallen for you at first sight!"
Jian Anning was a bit speechless; she actually knew that just by winning the favor of Yu Zexiao and Situ Xuan, even if she did nothing, others would still be envious.
After all, who wouldn’t be after outstanding men like Yu Zexiao and Situ Xuan? In the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, who doesn’t rush toward fame, power, and especially powerful men?
But she wasn’t the type of woman who, for fear of being criticized, would refrain from going after what she wanted. If she was to be with Yu Zexiao, what were the petty rumors of this small production crew? In the future, she would face even greater tempests and waves.
All Jian Anning said was, "Mouths belong to other people; let them talk."
Xiaoliu smiled, "That’s exactly your attitude, which really makes people feel vindicated! You have no idea, the first person to spread these unfavorable rumors about you was Jiang Xuanqi! That makes sense, though. She’s a star, but she got so miserably handled in front of you, showing none of the grace expected of a celebrity. It’s truly satisfying to watch!"
Jian Anning continued, "If no one offends me, I won’t offend anyone. I don’t care who it is, as long as I haven’t done anything wrong, then I will definitely not compromise!"
Jiang Xuanqi might seem unruly and overbearing, but that’s only relative!
Compared to her sister Cheng Tingting, Jiang Xuanqi was nothing! She was just a minor celebrity with a little bit of fame, and yet she acted like she was someone important!
"Exactly, exactly! You probably don’t realize it, but it’s your attitude that’s super cool!" Xiaoliu looked on with admiration, utterly idolizing her.
"Like us, we really dislike Jiang Xuanqi. She’s arrogant, fussy, and loves ordering people around. You don’t know, but I have worked with her on other sets before. Our whole group was tormented by her. And since she’s a big star and we’re just minor staff, nobody dared to argue with her. It’s only you who could avenge us. Although what Jiang Xuanqi and her group say is unpleasant, privately, we all think you’re pretty great!"
