"Love has rules, and every man knows them, but he broke them. That can only mean one reason, that is, he actually doesn’t like you that much."
Ling Momo stared at the three consecutive messages sent by Enson. Her blood suddenly froze, and her breathing halted in an instant.
At that moment, she didn’t know how to reply to Enson.
His words were sharp, but they held truth.
Deep down, she had thought the same, but having someone point it out so bluntly left her feeling anxious and chaotic, at a loss for what to do.
The silent deep of the night, at Lu Niange’s villa.
In the quiet master bedroom, Lu Niange stared at Jian Chenxi and asked every word distinctly, "Why did you do that?"
"What deep hatred do you have with that girl? She came to my villa once, but just that one time. Why did you leak those messages online?"
"Now the vice president of ES has called, saying there will be a press conference tomorrow, and you’re going with me to clarify the matter, saying it’s a misunderstanding." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel-fire.net
"I’m not going!" Jian Chenxi rejected the idea without even thinking. She had plotted for so long, how could she let it be ruined just like that? This was her one and only chance to destroy Ling Momo, and she would not quit so easily!
"Why won’t you go?" Lu Niange frowned, obviously annoyed. "Xiaoxi, you’re already famous, what are you afraid of? That girl is just a newcomer, even if she took your commercial and became popular, it’s not certain she can surpass you in the future!"
"But I need to prevent future problems, Niange, you must help me. At tomorrow’s press conference, you must help me! I can’t let her become popular!" Jian Chenxi shook her head stubbornly, adamant in her stance.
"No way!" Lu Niange immediately shook his head in refusal, "I can agree to anything else, but not this, it’s a matter of principle."
"Principle?" Jian Chenxi let out a cold laugh. "Is there principle in this circle? If you’re not ruthless, you’ll be trampled by others. The entertainment circle is inherently deceptive; the ruthless ones stand firm. Now you’re talking to me about principles?"
"No matter what, I won’t indulge you this time! That girl has posed no threat to you, what you’re doing is just wrong!" Lu Niange frowned, stood up, and walked towards the bedroom door.
Jian Chenxi stood up and grabbed hold of Lu Niange. "Are you sure you won’t help me? Niange, think about my future prospects, will you? Ling Momo’s teacher is Myth. If she really rises to the top this time, then the position of the leading lady in ES will sooner or later be hers!"
"I know you have principles, but think about me, was it easy for me to climb to this point?"
"I can’t just watch when I know I’ll be suppressed by her and do nothing!"
"I know I’ve resorted to schemes, and I know you don’t like it, but Niange, you might not like it, you can scold me, you can discipline me, but you’re my boyfriend, not hers!"
Lu Niange’s body trembled slightly, and he stilled.
Jian Chenxi knew Lu Niange all too well. She pinched her thigh hard, causing her eyes to fill with tears from the pain.
