Wang Jingjing’s name was in the hot search now, so naturally many people flocked around her. Whenever she appeared, she was bound to be the center of attention. However, as soon as Xue Hang appeared, Wang Jingjing became unnoticeable and no one looked at her. She was not the only one ignored, as many big-name movie actors were also forgotten in an instant.

Everyone gathered around Xue Hang, as he walked in front of everyone in a black suit, with a strong aura and an almost arrogant carelessness, as if he was accustomed to such attention. He was constantly surrounded, as if he was the real master of the place.

Jiang Nian naturally saw Xue Hang. She looked at him, and the man’s eyes seemed to sweep inadvertently towards her. His eyes were dark, his eyebrows were deep, and his eyes narrowed slightly, becoming more and more unfathomable.

In but a moment of inadvertent stare, her heart which was desperate, empty and quiet seemed to regain his vitality, as he could hear her inner voice: “Hmm…”

Xue Hang:…’Hmm ‘? What does that mean? ? ?

Xue Hang frowned slightly, waiting to hear her inner voice again, but without avail. In the meanwhile, the organizer of the charity dinner, Su sister, had already walked over, smiling,”Ah Hang, thank you for coming to this dinner.”

Xue Hang retracted his gaze and called with a faint and appropriate smile, Sister Su. As expected, he was as elegant and refined as the rumors made him to be.

When Wang Jingjing looked at Xue Hang, her heart was on fire. She held Sun Xu’s arm loosely. She was not a little girl who has yet to see the world. She used to think that fresh meats like Sun Xu were very powerful. He had good looks and countless fans pursuing him wherever he goes. Being his girlfriend should really make her proud and have the capital to boast.

But when she came into contact with this industry, she realized that fresh meats held little to no real power. Outside they may seem powerful, but inside the circle, they should flatter the powerful and depend on whether the other person is willing or not to smoothen their path. Otherwise, said fresh meats would face many difficulties to climb up, or even a bottleneck.

Just like Sun Xu was all humble and polite in front of Xue Hang.

Wang Jingjing didn’t want to miss such a good opportunity, she wanted to find Sister Chen to help her climb Xue Hang’s bed. Not to mention anything else, it would be good to brag about it and throw around her weight. However, Sister Chen was busy today, truly a pity. Wang Jingjing turned her eyes and saw New Star Entertainment Zhou Hao, another gold-medal agent of the company, so she said, “Sun Xu, you are busy, so I’ll go and talk to Brother Wang first.”

Sun Xu acquiesced with a smile, very gracious.

After hearing Wang Jingjing’s intentions, Zhou Hao laughed mockingly: “Jingjing, do you really think you’re popular because you have been on the top search a few times and are surrounded by reporters everywhere recently? That you want to get to know Shao Xue, I understand, but look over there. Who is not fawning in front of Xue Shao, even director Liu Cai Ying is praising him to the heavens. Look at who is standing behind them again? Which one is not better and more famous than you? Don’t talk about you, even if I want to, it’s hard for me to show my face in front of Shao Xue. Don’t be foolish. Just keep your heat up, and I’ll send you a draft tomorrow to make more money.”

Wang Jingjing looked at Xue Hang. There were many big-shots around him, making the corner he stood in the most lively and crowded out of the entire banquet hall. She even saw the most hated and feared person in her previous life, Mr. Meng. At this moment, he was squeezed out and couldn’t even touch a corner of Xue Hang’s clothes. His face was respectful, but his eyes were sullen. He then turned around and took the assistant away from the banquet hall while cursing inwardly.

Wang Jingjing didn’t want to stop at her current popularity. Not only did she want to become a big star, she must also avenge those who hurt her in her previous life: “Brother Zhou, as long as you give me a chance, and I will always remember you.”

Zhou Hao actually looked down on Wang Jingjing’s way of doing things, but he also admired her for her boldness: “I really dare not join the excitement.”

Xue Hang rarely attended public occasions, so when he did, people would want to show their faces in front of him. If he talked to Xue Hang publicly, he would certainly grab the limelight, wouldn’t that be akin to accumulating hatred and bringing calamity over his head? What’s more, this Wang Jingjing was hardworking, cruel to others and more cruel to herself. She looks smart, when she’s a fool. Plus, she was not an artist under him. Why should he bear this responsibility? Besides, who in the circle doesn’t know that Xue Hang doesn’t like being close to the females in general?

“I have things to do, be honest, don’t cause trouble to the company.”

Wang Jingjing was so angry that she secretly gritted her teeth, didn’t she know that Xue Hang was so unpredictable that it was hard to meet him? When she was with Mr. Meng at the beginning, she heard him say that there was a project lacking funds, and that he hoped Xue Hang could invest. But even after making many appointments, going to many clubs and banquets, and asking many connections of his, she never got a glimpse of Xue Hang even once.

So how could she be willing to miss such a rare opportunity?

Just when she was so helpless, she suddenly saw Jiang Nian standing in the corner of the banquet. She was surprised. Shouldn’t Jiang Nian be with Sister Chen at this time? Shouldn’t she lie on President Meng’s bed? How come she was here at the banquet?

…No, Jiang Nian is here, this is a good opportunity given by God!

Suddenly Wang Jingjing thought about it, if others did not introduce her to Xue Hang, she could only take the initiative to get Xue Hang’s attention by herself.



Jiang Nian was eating a snack, and when she saw Wang Jingjing walking in a gorgeous goose yellow gown, she felt an uncontrollable pain in her heart when she thought of the big gold of the same color. She couldn’t bear to look more and turned away.

In Wang Jingjing’s view, it was because of Jiang Nian’s guilty conscience that she didn’t dare to see her.

“Sister Jiang Nian, it’s been a long time. How are you doing? I blame Chen Sister for protecting me too well. She dare not let me see you for fear that I will be hurt again.”

Jiang Nian smiled: “Actually, neither do I dare to see you.”

“…Why?”

” I ‘m afraid to follow you too close, learn too much, and surpass you. After all, your acting skills are perfect, your face is thicker than the city wall, and there are few opponents for you in the world. Master, feel what it means to be cold from a high place, I won’t join in the fun.”

“…” Wang Jingjing’s mind turned a few times before she realized that Jiang Nian was mocking her, she clenched her fists and smiled embarrassedly. “Sister Jiang Nian, why should you ridicule me like this? If you didn’t push me, how could we have been like this? After all, I really thought of you as a friend.”

Jiang Nian chuckled, “You took me as a friend? ”

“Of course. ”

“Does taking me as a friend means to show me a few fake bed photos to lie to me that you are having an affair with my boyfriend? And then pretend to fall down the stairs when I was angry? ”

Because Wang Jingjing came to Jiang Nian, and the grievances between these two people made the headlines recently, their confrontation attracted a lot of attention. The two of them have been in front of Xue Hang, can’t they watch some of the action?

Many people watched the excitement with their ears erected. At this moment, when they heard Jiang Nian’s words, they all looked at Wang Jingjing in surprise, was that what really happened? It turns out that Jiang Nian and Wang Jingjing had a dispute because Wang Jingjing had deliberately set it off?

Wang Jingjing also seemed a little flustered at the moment. Didn’t Sun Xu say that Jiang Nian has calmed down? How could she dare to tell about having a boyfriend? Is this going to drag Sun Xu into muddy water?

She immediately approached Jiang Nian and said, “Sister Jiang Nian, what are you talking about? You can’t just slander me just because you beat me up. Besides, do you have a boyfriend? I don’t even know you have a boyfriend. Who can testify?”

Jiang Nian and Sun Xu have kept their relationship a secret, and only a few people close to them knew about it. Now that Sister Chen had been bought by Wang Jingjing, of course no one could testify. Of course, there was no need to testify at all. It is not that Jiang Nian and Sun Xu did not have a close photo. The reason why Sun Xu was able to protect himself was because Sun Xu was so powerful that he deceived the original owner to go round and round. Only at the last moment did the original Jian Nan know  about Sun Xuhe and Wang Jingjing, and then she died in a car accident not long after. The truth was completely buried with the death of the original owner.

Jiang Nian smiled and looked at Wang Jingjing who had walked in front of her and replied, “You have a photo, don’t I have one?”

Wang Jingjing panicked for a moment, and whispered: “Sister Jiang Nian, you love Sun Xu so much, and Sun Xu loves you too.It’s not enough for you to harm yourself, do you still harm Sun Xu too?”

At this time, no one knew where Sun Xu went, and even his shadow was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Nian whispered in return: “If a person goes crazy, who would care so much?”

Wang Jingjing took a step back, stared at Jiang Nian incredulously, then looking hurt and scared, she turned around, panicked and walked forward, but only took two steps, then everyone saw Wang Jingjing cry out in shock and fall to the ground!

The glass she was holding also fell and broke.

The mellow wine splashed all over her goose-yellow evening dress. The splashed glass cut through her smooth skin, revealing star-spotted bloodstains. It was obviously embarrassing, but it seemed to be beautiful at the same time. The beauty was extremely pitiful. What’s more, Wang Jingjing was already very pretty, with delicate facial features and a small face, her big grape-like eyes red, which made her look even more pitiful.

“Sister Jiang Nian, why did you deliberately made me trip to make me look foolish? Do you still hate me?”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Nian, who stood tall on the side, became the object of everyone’s criticism and condemning.

“Jiang Nan, Jingjing let go the initiative to come looking for you speak, how can you deliberately harm her?”

“Yes ah, I heard that falling down the stairs caused Jingjing great harm, and now old wounds add to  the new injuries, poor Jingjing…”

“Jiang Nian, don’t you want to apologize to Jingjing? Otherwise, don’t even think about getting involved in the circle.”

Everyone in this circle is a competitor. When one is popular friends come one by one, but when they fall down, you can be considered a good person if you don’t take the opportunity to step on them.

Such as today’s time, location, and people are all on Wang Jingjing’s side.

And all this noise really caught the attention of Xue Hang. Of course, Jiang Nian and Wang Jingjing, who were the initiators, made Sister Su very unhappy. She didn’t need to know who was right and who was wrong, as long as anyone disturbed her charity dinner, they would be on her blacklist!

She looked solemn, winked and asked the people below to drive both of them out, but Xue Hang to standed up first, and walked towards Jiang Nian and Wang Jingjing unexpectedly.

When Sister Su and the others saw this, they naturally followed along.

Wang Jingjing over there was always paying attention to Xue Hang. When Xue Hang came, she became excited while showing a pitiful appearance, but she didn’t want Xue Hang and others to approach yet. Sun Xu smoked a cigarette and came back. As soon as he came back, he saw Wang Jingjing falling to the ground, while Jiang Nian stood domineeringly on the side. He hurried over to help Wang Jingjing up, and looked at Jiang Nian disapprovingly, and said to Wang Jingjing, “Jingjing, are you okay?”

Wang Jingjing shook her head weakly, secretly annoyed that Sun Xu came here, and pushed him away to avoid suspicion: “I’m fine.”

Sun Xu said, “You’re bleeding and you say you’re fine? Jiang Nian, how can you push Jingjing?”

Jiang Nian sighed and said helplessly: “Ah Xu, well, let’s not act, I don’t want to condemn you to plead with Wang Jingjing for me. You have seen it, Wang Jingjing could slander me for pushing her down the stairs before, and now she slanders me for deliberately tripping her, people like her are too scary, I can’t leave you in the wolf’s den. What should I do if you fall into her path again? I will die of heartache!”

Sun Xu: “…?”

Wang Jingjing: “…………!!!”

Xue Hang, who just walked in: “…………?”

The onlookers: “…………?!”

Wow!

Sun Xu’s heart tightened and said sharply, “Jiang Nian what are you talking about? What can I have with you? Jing Jing and I are friends, I take care of her as I should, it has nothing to do with you. Jiang Nian, why do you want to hurt me so much?”

Jiang Nian frowned and looked at him suspiciously, “Ah Xu, you clearly told me that it was because of my accident that you deliberately approached Wang Jingjing, in order to ask for her forgiveness for me, didn’t you? Why are you now saying that you have nothing to do with me, and that you and Wang Jingjing have become friends? A Xu, what do you mean? Did you fall in love with her?”

Wang Jingjing also panicked in her heart. Neither she nor Sun Xu expected that Jiang Nian would dare to break her relationship with him in the crowd, making everything known, and she didn’t think whether anyone would believe her nonsense! Does this Jiang Nian have no brains?

Sun Xu said righteously and helplessly: “Jiang Nian, I don’t know what brought you to say this, but you and I are really just ordinary friends, if you do this again, I think we can’t even be friends in the future!” He took a look at Sister Su and Xue Hang walked in and immediately said respectfully, “Sister Su, Mr. Xue, I’m really sorry for causing you trouble, I also didn’t expect Jiang Nian to ……”

How could Sun Xu admit that he was Jiang Nian’s boyfriend at this time? Jiang Nian was entangled in scandals, and it was even more difficult to want to make a comeback. Wasn’t having a relationship with her akin to hurting himself?

Wang Jingjing also looked embarrassed and pitiful: “I’m sorry, I should stay away from Sister Jiang Nian, so that I won’t make her angry…”

She peeked at Xue Hang with a timid look.

Even the people around felt that this matter was caused by Jiang Nian, and the look in their eyes was extremely disappointed and puzzled, more like looking at a fool.

Sister Su gave a chuckle, not angering herself: “I don’t care what kind of grudges you have between you, but this is my charity dinner, and I hope it can give me a face, so don’t ruin my place. Whatever the matter, go and solve it outside.”

Sun Xu’s face was dull and Wang Jingjing was naturally embarrassed. She took a peek at Xue Hang, but saw him expressionless and didn’t even look at her, as if she didn’t exist at all.  For a while, she felt really disappointed, but she wanted to get his favor even more.

Xue Hang didn’t even look at Wang Jingjing. The more he approached Jiang Nian, the more he was shocked by her despair.

Even if she was framed at the moment, even if everyone didn’t believe her, and everyone was accusing her, but there was no messy desires and distracting thoughts in her heart, only the purest despair.

She stood quietly, expressionless.

She was hurt to the extreme.

After Sister Su talked to several juniors, she turned to Xue Hang and said, “Ah Hang, let’s go, others will handle such trivial matters.”

Xue Hang looked at Jiang Nian, and Jiang Nian’s eyes looked at Sun Xu and Wang Jingjing and finally turned, and glanced at Xue Hang.

Xue Hang: “…”

He was taken aback for a while. He heard a word suddenly drifting in her quiet heart: “Huh?”

It was terribly concise. He thought she would ask for help, be scared, and feel helpless…

He was about to speak, when Jiang Nian suddenly smiled, “Wang Jingjing, do you really think I am a big fool? Or think that all of us here are the same? Your stepping stone to success? I know that public opinion is against you and still bully you in the public. With the testimony of Sister Su, Shao Xue and everyone present, I will be the same as the others when the news comes out tomorrow. Then I will never want to be in the entertainment industry. Do you really think Jiang Nian is so stupid?”

In front of everyone’s surprised eyes, Jiang Nian walked up to Wang Jingjing, placing her palm on her shoulder, and with force, slammed back Wang Jingjing. The latter obviously had the time to guard, but she couldn’t do anything. She fell like a dog, her hair was messed up, her skirt fluttered up, her high heels turned up—a laughing stock!

This was the real embarrassment!

Everyone: “…”

They all looked at Jiang Nian in surprise. Sister Su stared for a while, while Xue Hang raised his eyebrows.

Sun Xu loudly: “Jiang Nan what are you doing?”

” I’m telling Wang Jingjing, I Jiang Nian never show mercy when I bully people, I won’t give her the chance to act all nice and pitiful!”

After speaking those words, she immediately put a loud slap on Sun Xu’s face!

Pa!

Everyone held their breath!

Sun Xu was stunned, while Jiang Nian sneered: ” Sun Xu, we have been dating for so long, I thought I had met a good man, until today when I realized that I was blind and saw the wrong person. Whether you and Wang Jingjing have any unseemly hookups or not, the fact that you treated me like this today is enough for me to see that you are just a lowlife scum.”

Wang Jingjing’s a̲s̲s̲ was about to break, her elbows oozing blood, her wrist seemed to be twisted, her painful face was distorted, tears came down, and she couldn’t get up for a while.

After Sister Su was shocked, she was upset by this reversal. They’re still going on?

Xue Hang came out. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, glanced at Wang Jingjing on the ground, and said: “I saw it. The lady on the ground fell down on purpose the first time.”

People’s eyes fell on Xue Hang, surprised, and Wang Jingjing’s eyes immediately changed. Not because of what Xue Hang said, but because Xue Hang had always disliked to interfere with private matters, and now he actually took the initiative to speak for Jiang Nian. It was not Wang Jingjing that caused Xue Hang’s unhappiness, but what was so extraordinary about Jiang Nian. …

“No, Wang Jingjing deliberately framed Jiang Nian? Jiang Nian was wronged?”

“Why did she do this? To be popular?”

“This Wang Jingjing is really ruthless.”

“What happened to Sun Xu? What’s the relationship between him and Wang Jingjing? ”

……

……

Even Jiang Nian looked at Xue Hang, in despair, and seeing Xue Hang’s golden thighs, she secretly shook her head, very aggrieved.

After experiencing extreme wealth, she really didn’t like a small golden thigh. When she thought of her big gold, she wanted to cry. QAQ

Xue Hang obviously helped Jiang Nian, because he had heard Wang Jingjing’s voice when he was near Jiang Nian and Wang Jingjing, and heard the sordid relationship between Wang Jingjing and Sun Xu. He was shocked by the despair in Jiang Nian’s heart. Although he don’t like to be nosy, he still spoke for her.

He helped her, shouldn’t Jiang Nian be happy? Why is she more desperate?

… Is it because no one believed what she said, and what he casually said everyone believed, and thus she felt the darkness of human nature more deeply?

It seems… it’s really his fault.
