Xu Jia Li wore an amuse look on her face upon seeing Tang Xie"s reaction. She really didn"t expect her to react that way. She ignited the woman"s fury even more when she said in a vague manner, "How should I treat you then, Miss Tang? After all, I just wanted to repay you.""Repay me? F-for what?!"
"For earlier…"
Tang Xie"s pale face suddenly turned red as she gazed with disbelief at Xu Jia Li. The other crews who were pa.s.sing began to stop as they gazed at the two. Their curiosity led them to watch the scene unfolding before them.
Some of them were even whispering and bad-mouthing Xu Jia Li as they looked at the pitiful sight of Tang Xie against the cool and relax expression of Xu Jia Li.
"How can you be so despicable Miss Xu?" Tang Xie suddenly changed her tone into innocence, clearly emerging as the one being bullied. She even started to cry as the tears gushed out as soon as she spoke, "I d-don"t know how long you plan on suppressing me. B-but please spare Miss Meng. You can treat me the way you want but not Miss Meng."
The onlookers took their phones as they began to record the scene, they couldn"t wait to expose Xu Jia Li"s evil and wicked nature. They were so sure that Xu Jia Li was a manipulative, promiscuous and black bellied woman. Wasn"t the saying went like this, "The flies are always buzzing about cracked eggs."?
They believed about the news circulating in the social media platforms.
Time and time again, their impression of Xu Jia Li changed. Weren"t they fickle? Xu Jia Li raised her brows while her lips curled into a mocking smile when she saw what the onlookers were doing. Shen Linqin immediately arrived as she shouted for them to stop recording.
"Stop it! Stop taking videos!"
However, Shen Linqin"s words reached the onlookers deaf ears. They even pushed her as they continued to do their bidding.
"Stop doing this to me, Miss Xu," Tang Xie"s eyes glint deviously even though her tears flowed on her cheeks.
"How shameful!" Xu Jia Li thought as she gazed at Tang Xie. She resorted to more provocation as she stared blankly at the woman, who was wailing in front of her,
"Aren"t I only asking how you feel about what happened earlier?"
The shameless Tang Xie, feeling empowered with the presence of the onlookers recording everything, flashed a vicious glint on her eyes before she cried, "How would I feel? Why are you asking me? And you"re clearly saying that you"ll repay me? For what? What have I done?
Why do you have to blame me, Miss Xu? I have nothing to do with the dead cat. I merely pa.s.sed by your dressing room earlier."
Everyone was shocked when they heard what Tang Xie just said. They all looked at Xu Jia Li with disdain, clearly accusing her of pa.s.sing the blame to the poor Tang Xie.
"A dead cat? Who would do such thing to the poor cat?"
"Who knows? b.i.t.c.hes always have schemes under their sleeves."
The loud buzz from their whispering amused Xu Jia Li even more. Her eyes showed how she was enjoying the moment. Tang Xie"s carelessness led her to blurt out words without even thinking about it. She pretended to be clueless about the dead cat when she said, "What dead cat, Miss Tang? I don"t remember mentioning that at all?"
Tang Xie"s face turned pale. There were no words that escaped her mouth as she realized her mistakes.
The onlookers began to question the scene as they looked at one another. Clearly, they never heard Xu Jia Li mentioning something about a dead cat. What was Tang Xie saying?
Xu Jia Li smiled before she said, "I guess Miss Tang misunderstood me, I was only asking about the shoot. I mean, if you enjoyed watching it earlier? And to repay your kindness… for giving me a gift…"
The crews frown when they realized that there wasn"t anything juicy about the encounter. They began to disperse after hearing Xu Jia Li. Their sharp gazes landed on the two, even more on Xu Jia Li. They still believed that she was capable of doing evil things since they believed in the news.
Once the spectators had left, Tang Xie"s expression turned shadier. She felt an undeniable hatred towards Xu Jia Li. The corner of her mouth twitched and her whole body trembled. Her eyes turned red as she glared at Xu Jia Li.
Xu Jia Li chuckled before she spoke in a sweet and gentle voice, "I"m a very vengeful person. I treat people the way they treat me."
She left the fuming Tang Xie and walked towards her dressing room. When she was two meters away from the stunned Tang Xie, she turned around and said, "Fishes are caught through their mouths."

Si Weimin looked at the new place and nodded as he ordered Ru Tengfei to make sure that the security was even better than before.
He dashed inside his Maybach Exelero and tapped his phone on the dashboard. He put his earpods on. After a few minutes, he heard Xu Jia Li"s melodious voice.
His whole being relaxed hearing her talk about her day. He couldn"t be with her and it was killing him. But he had to control himself to avoid further rumors.
After talking to Xu Jia Li, he dialed w.a.n.g Guo"s number, "How"s the thing I ask you to do?"
"It"s all good, boss."

In a remote place in D City, Snow busied herself as she ordered her men to burn down the body of a man.
"Make sure that the body wouldn"t be recognized. I won"t accept mistakes."
The men hurriedly carried the man on the edge of the mountain before pouring gas on its body.
On the man"s right index finger was a silver ring which had the emblem of the Special Forces on it.
