Chapter 1418: She had a nonchalant att.i.tude towards others
Su Manman’s question was like a string of bullets, not giving Meng Yuqiao a chance to reply. She then casually said, “Who was the one who saw me acting normally today and made many mistakes because she didn’t expect it? Hmm?”
All the staff looked in Meng Yuqiao’s direction. Seeing that someone had nodded slightly and seemed to believe Su Manman’s words, Meng Yuqiao panicked…
“I didn’t go to j.a.pan’s Fuji-Q Highland to record the variety show. Most of the posts were about you filming that show. I was filming another show at the time and didn’t know what you were doing there. What right do you have to say that I was the one who wrote the post!” Meng Yuqiao pretended to look in Yang Weiyi’s direction subconsciously, hinting to Su Manman that it was Yang Weiyi.
Yang Weiyi’s face turned as pale as a sheet, and she gripped the corner of her s.h.i.+rt tightly.
She really couldn’t lose this job right now. Her mother was still in the hospital.
Who would have thought that Su Manman would pay no mind to Meng Yuqiao’s words at all? She only smiled and said, “Didn’t you say you didn’t know what post it was just now? How are you so clear about what the post has written then? Senior Meng Yuqiao… aren’t you just slapping yourself in the face?”
“I… I…” Meng Yuqiao started to find excuses for herself. “I’m giving you face! Do you have the guts to admit that you imitated Jiang Mingzhu in public?”
“Jiang Mingzhu? Aren’t you Jiang Mingzhu’s best friend? Why are you calling her by her full name?” Su Manman smiled calmly and said, “Moreover, I’ve never believed that respect is given, but earned! So, I’ll have to trouble you too… If you want some respect, don’t just be bound to Jiang Mingzhu all day, trying to hype her up, while trying to use me as your scapegoat! Don’t create alternate accounts to incite Jiang Mingzhu’s fans to find trouble with others. If you do too much of it, you’ll get exposed, Mingzhu Girl! I’m not the pitiful girl you used to bully! Do you understand?”
Su Manman exposed Meng Yuqiao, who was part of Jiang Mingzhu’s fan club. Meng Yuqiao panicked and denied, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
“Nonsense? You want me to expose your IP address?” Su Manman sneered. “Mingzhu Girl, Mingzhu Cutie, Prosperity Mingzhu, which one of them isn’t you? The next time you accuse someone of doing something bad, wipe your b.u.t.t clean first!”
Su Manman blew up Meng Yujiao a few times, and Meng Yujiao finally pursed her lips and remained silent.
Su Manman then left the studio without looking back.
Du Lingyang was wearing a mask as he stood in a corner and watched. Ever since he found out that Su Manman was the daughter of the Fu family in Haicheng and had a strong background, he thought of getting close to her.
But Su Manman’s popularity had risen so much that she was always surrounded by bodyguards, making it more difficult for Du Lingyang to approach her. At the same time, her skyrocketed popularity tempted Du Lingyang to get close to her even more.
However, Su Manman was too arrogant. She was even more arrogant than Jiang Mingzhu back then. At the very least, Jiang Mingzhu would put on an act outside. However, Su Manman… Perhaps it was because of her powerful background, but Su Manman wasn’t willing to put up a front at all. She had a nonchalant att.i.tude towards others, unconcerned about what others think of her and would just do things as she pleased. Her indifferent att.i.tude made it impossible for Du Lingyang to find a breakthrough.
But today, Du Lingyang finally found a breakthrough.
…
In the dressing room, Yang Weiyi entered with a pale face to help Su Manman remove her makeup.
Su Manman didn’t say anything, and Yang Weiyi also pretended not to know anything.
Although she feigned ignorance, Yang Weiyi was extremely nervous…
She didn’t want to be looked down upon by s.h.i.+ Hanchu, nor did she want to be fired by Su Manman. But… she didn’t like Su Manman imitating Jiang Mingzhu either.
In the midst of her conflicted state, Meng Yuqiao had found her. Her coaxing had convinced Yang Weiyi to write the post, taking the risk of Su Manman not being able to recover from her setback.
Actually, although Yang Weiyi didn’t like Su Manman, she could tell that she was very smart. She didn’t believe that Su Manman wouldn’t suspect her after all this, especially after Meng Yuqiao had given Su Manman a hint of her involvement.
Did she think Su Manman wasn’t upset? False…
However, Su Manman knew how sincere Yang Weiyi was towards Jiang Mingzhu. She blamed it on Yang Weiyi’s loyalty to Jiang Mingzhu, so she felt that she shouldn’t get angry with Yang Weiyi.
“What do you think of the post?” Su Manman suddenly asked Yang Weiyi.
Yang Weiyi’s hand, which was holding onto the makeup remover, paused as she wiped Su Manman’s skin. “One with a clear conscience naturally…”
Look, what a vague reply.
“Do you also think that I’m imitating Jiang Mingzhu?” Su Manman grabbed Yang Weiyi’s wrist, scrutinizing Yang Weiyi.
Su Manman’s clear, pretty, and yet devilish gaze made Yang Weiyi panic. She pursed her lips and threw everything aside. Since Su Manman had already suspected her, she wasn’t afraid of being fired.
Yang Weiyi removed her wrist from Su Manman’s hold and nodded. “Yes…”
“Then did you know that other than working with Jiang Mingzhu in ‘The World’ when I was young, I never kept in touch with Jiang Mingzhu at all? n.o.body knows about those so-called habits written in your post other than those who were close to Jiang Mingzhu!” Su Manman stared at Yang Weiyi.
“You could have secretly investigated Sister Mingzhu!” Yang Weiyi’s att.i.tude turned cold. “Otherwise, why did you make me your personal makeup artist? Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that I’m Sister Mingzhu’s personal makeup artist!”
Why?
Su Manman stared fixedly at Yang Weiyi. “Let’s not talk about the fact that everyone in the entertainment industry knows about this. Everyone also knows that Jiang Mingzhu’s fans dislike Jiang Mingzhu’s imitators the most! I’ve got everything going for me, from looks, background, resources, and acting skills, so isn’t it only natural for me to become popular? Why would I want to imitate someone else unless my brain got squeezed by the door?”
Yang Weiyi’s lips quivered, and she remained silent for a long time.
“The so-called imitations you wrote in the post are just my personal habits. I believe many people have the same habits, more or less. It’s just that some of my habits are similar to Jiang Mingzhu’s!” Su Manman sat there with her legs crossed. Her aura was calm as she explained to Yang Weiyi, “I also have other habits that are different from Jiang Mingzhu’s. Have you paid attention to them?”
“And to answer your question about why I would use you as my personal makeup artist…”
Hearing Su Manman’s clear voice, Yang Weiyi looked up. This was also something she had always wanted to know.
“Yes, I hired you, and I’m paying you a salary that is three times higher than the market norm! Do you want to know why? It was because when I went to visit my doctor friend for a meal at the hospital she’s working at, I met a lady who had repeatedly asked my friend to allow her to leave the hospital. She said she couldn’t afford the expensive hospital fees… She didn’t want to take those expensive imported medications either! I thought it was because the lady had no children to care about her! But after chatting with her for a while, I found out she has a daughter. She told me her daughter is paying all the medical fees, and she didn’t want her daughter to suffer. Did you know she didn’t even have any money for a meal? She sat alone in a remote corner of the hospital to eat half a steamed bun while carefully placing the other half into a plastic bag so she could eat it again for dinner…”
