When Meng Xuimin got to know that the latest popular song "NEVER SAYS GOODBYE" was written by Li Xiaolu, she was extremely panicked. She knew that the war has begun. This was Li Xiaolu"s move against her. She didn"t know much about Ming Yu but she was sure of one thing now, that with Li Xiaolu"s s song and support this woman Ming Yu would become very famous just like her.
Meng Xuimin was worried about her career. Before she used to sing the song that was written by Li Xiaolu and she herself very well knew how good they were. She herself has reached to this level and fame by singing Li Xiaolu"s song.
All of these thoughts made Meng Xuimin so panicked and filled with fear of losing her spot and career in singing that she immediately rushed to the Li Mansion.
When she reached the Li Mansion she saw that an argument was going between Li Roulan and her father. Li Roulan was shouting and yelling at the top of her lungs while her dad was trying to calm her down.
"Dad, why is Li"s not called for the fas.h.i.+on show? Every businessman and the actress are going to be there, why are we not invited?" Li Roulan shouted angrily.
Li Youbin sighed. "Princess, how would I know? I tried contacting the organizers but they denied us an invitation."
"I don"t care how you do it, dad. I want to be on that show." Li Roulan huffed angrily, "Give them money, bribe them or do anything you can but I want to go to that show."
"I"ll see what I can do…" Li Youbin sighed and saw Meng Xuimin.
"h.e.l.lo, Uncle…" Meng Xuimin greeted politely but she was immediately pulled by Li Roulan and dragged towards her room.
On reaching Li Roulan"s room Meng Xuimin asked, "What happened? Why are you so angry?"
"I didn"t get an invitation to today"s fas.h.i.+on show." Li Xiaolu huffed angrily, "I want to meet this mysterious designer LX. I want him to make my wedding dress for me."
"Oh!"
"Have you seen even that Li Xiaolu? Even she gets to wears his amazing designs. Who did they think they are by not calling me?" Li Xiaolu scoffed angrily. "I am the top leading actress, my movies are making so much money, netizens love me and I am their "G.o.ddess Li" and my dad is a leading businessman. How can they not call me?"
Li Roulan narrowed her eyes and cursed, "It must be that Li Xiaolu who did something. It must be her. Otherwise, how can they not call me?"
"Umm… Roulan, umm… I don"t think it"s Li Xiaolu." Meng Xuimin said.
Li Roulan immediately turned her head and glared at Meng Xuimin, "What do you mean? Why are you taking that s.l.u.t"s side?"
"Well, because I got the invitation for that fas.h.i.+on show." Meng Xuimin said.
Li Roulan gasped in shock. "You did?"
Meng Xuimin nodded.
On the inside of her heart, Meng Xuimin was very happy and glad that she got an invitation to the show and Li Roulan didn"t. Meng Xuimin really didn"t like Li Roulan that much because whenever she was with Li Roulan, she didn"t think that Li Roulan valued her.
She always had a feeling of being looked down on or sometimes even treated as though a slave or minion by Li Roulan. So Meng Xuimin was being friends with Li Roulan only for the sole purpose of getting benefits from her.
Suddenly she was pulled out from her thoughts when Li Roulan pulled her hand tightly. "Ouch!! Roulan what are you doing? It"s paining, leave my hand."
"Oh! Sorry, Xuimin. I was just a little excited. You have the invitation to the fas.h.i.+on show right. Then I"ll go with you." Li Roulan declared excitedly.
Meng Xuimin wanted to make up an excuse and deny Li Roulan but then thinking about her problem, for which she came here in the first place, she paused. Scratching her neck she said, "But I am not going to the fas.h.i.+on show."
"Oh really!!! That"s great." Li Roulan exclaimed happily but when she looked at Meng Xuimin"s sullen face she immediately controlled herself and tried to explain, "I-I…. I mean if you are not going anyways then you could give me your invitation card. I can go instead of you."
Meng Xuimin shrugged, "The card has my name on it. You won"t be allowed inside even if I give you my card."
"Is that so," Li Roulan sighed and then asked instead, "Then why are you not going to the fas.h.i.+on show? Every d.a.m.n celebrity and famous people are going to be there. Are you unwell?"
"Have you not seen the latest news?" Meng Xuimin asked, "Have you not heard about that new singer Ming Yu? Because of her, my career is going to go in a downward spiral. Li Xiaolu is writing songs for her and taking her revenge from me, from us. What am I supposed to do when my career is on stake? Go and enjoy a d.a.m.n fas.h.i.+on show!"
Li Roulan laughed poking Meng Xuimin"s forehead, "You are worried about this. You are such a scaredy-cat Xuimin. Just relax and chill!"
Meng Xuimin rolled her eyes, "That"s easy for you to say that. I am scared, Roulan. I don"t want to lose my top position."
Li Roulan patted Meng Xuimin"s back and a.s.sured her, "Calm down. You are my only friend, Xuimin. Do you really think that I would let that Li Xiaolu walk all over us? Huh! In her dreams. Who does she think she is? You don"t have to worry about this. I have got it all planned."
"You do?" Meng Xuimin asked in surprise.
Li Roulan smirked nodding her head. "That woman, Ming Yu will not be in the industry for long. Do you know that Ming Yu was a bar singer and she is a single unmarried woman with a 3-year-old kid."
"WHAT?"
"Just think what would happen when this juicy secret would be exposed. Will the media leave her? Can the people accept a woman with such a character?" Li Roulan asked with an evil smile on her face.
Meng Xuimin shook her head. People can never accept this kind of woman to be their idol. Even though the entertainment industry has a bad side, there are people doing shady things and there are people who have shady and dirty secrets, it is a place where only the people who can keep their secret a secret can stay.
Though you might not have done something bad, a single bad rumor can leave a black mark on you and can destroy a person"s career.
Every person working in the entertainment industry knew of this fact and hence they were very careful in every move that they take.
"Wait a minute! Everybody still didn"t know about Ming Yu"s ident.i.ty. How did you know about all of this?"
Li Roulan winked, "I have my ways."
"Now you don"t have to worry about anything. So can we go to the fas.h.i.+on show now?" Li Roulan asked.
Meng Xuimin nodded with a smile, "Let"s go."
