Chapter 88: No One will Fall Twice in a Cesspit
Liu s.h.i.+ying was clearly avoiding direct confrontation with Song Wei subconsciously. She turned around and said impatiently to the executive director beside her, “Why hasn’t the recording started yet? Why am I still talking nonsense with an outsider?!”
“Immediately, it’s starting right away. A few guests have only just arrived,” the executive director quickly said apologetically.
Liu s.h.i.+ying gave Jin Wenxi a look. “What are you still waiting for? Get ready to go on stage.”
Only then did Jin Wenxi stand up hesitantly. However, he did not follow Liu s.h.i.+ying up the stage immediately. Instead, after she left, he tugged on Song Wei’s sleeve.
“Hey, if I go up like this now, will you think that I’m not a good friend?”
“You’d be a fool not to take advantage of it. Just accept whatever benefits Liu s.h.i.+ying gives you.”
“Xiaocao, you’re so nice.” Jin Wenxi’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning.
“No, what I mean is that we’re not considered friends in the first place.” Song Wei was rather heartless.
Initially, she had only treated Jin Wenxi as a springboard. Who knew that a certain someone would be so determined to make her his manager?
“You’re too heartless.” Jin Wenxi wiped his nonexistent tears. “I originally wanted you to make me famous, but now, I think I should forget it.”
“You’ve finally thought it through.” Song Wei truly heaved a sigh of relief after shaking off a clingy good-for-nothing.
“I’ll look for you to be my manager again when I become as popular as Liu s.h.i.+ying one day,” Jin Wenxi said with a face full of hope and certainty.
Song Wei kicked him away. “Cut the c.r.a.p. Don’t contact me.”
Only then did Jin Wenxi go on stage, screeching miserably as he cupped his b.u.t.t.
As soon as he walked away, Yue Wanwan walked towards Song Wei aggressively.
Without any explanation, she abruptly splashed a cup of boiling water on Song Wei.
Song Wei subconsciously reached out her hand to block it. In the end, her entire arm scalded red and swollen.
“What are you doing?!” Song Wei’s originally relaxed and pleased expression was instantly stained with boiling murderous intent.
“What am I doing? I’m the one who wants to ask what tricks you played to prevent me from appearing on the show?!”
Song Wei opened a bottle of mineral water and poured it on her arm to stop the pain. “…”
The person who could get the program to withdraw an actor at the last minute was probably Liu s.h.i.+ying… again.
She was really capable. She paid the kindness she received back to Jin Wenxi but repaid her true benefactor, Song Wei, with ingrat.i.tude.
Heh.
Yue Wanwan thought that Song Wei was scared now, so she kept quiet. Therefore, the former reached out and shoved her. “I know that Wenxi still loves me. Otherwise, why would he try all means to get into this program after finding out that I was on this show? In the end, he still resents me for breaking up with him back then. That’s why he’s playing such tricks to take revenge on me now.”
“…”
“If I had known that he was so difficult to deal with, I would have rejected him harshly back then. I shouldn’t have thought of playing around to make him have fantasies about me. He’s just a small-time actor who’s only slightly better than a calefare. What right does he have to think that he can win me back?”
“…” Song Wei was silent for a long time before she raised her head and said to Yue Wanwan, “Are you done talking?”
Yue Wanwan was stunned for a moment. While looking at Song Wei, she frowned, “What’s the meaning of that look? Did I say something wrong?”
Song Wei glanced at Yue Wanwan. Although her eyes had become smaller because of special effects makeup, that fierce aura was still present.
“I came here to settle scores with Liu s.h.i.+ying. It has nothing to do with Jin Wenxi. Jin Wenxi came here because he knew that I would come and hoped that I could become his manager. It has nothing to do with you either.”
Song Wei looked at Yue Wanwan with complete disdain. “No one will fall twice in a cesspit. Jin Wenxi has never mentioned you before, and judging by his expression, he doesn’t seem like he wants to bother with you either. Don’t add so much drama for yourself all day long. I feel embarra.s.sed for you.”
Yue Wanwan was stupefied, and her face was full of disbelief. “You’re lying! He’s especially in love with me. Back then, he was the one who cried and told me not to break up with him. He…”
“But he’s not a fool. He’s sober now. You’re nothing to him.”
“…”
“I checked your personal information just now. You’re very beautiful, but your acting is too awkward. Jin Wenxi might not have a strong background and isn’t the most handsome person either, but he’s much more talented in acting than you are.”
“…”
“In addition, what did you exchange to get these roles? I don’t think I need to elaborate.”
“…”
“There are too many people like you in this industry, who are willing to risk everything to climb up. Benefits are above all else, so I don’t think that’s a problem. But on one hand, you want to rake in benefits, and on the other, you want someone else’s pure affections. It can’t be helped that these actions make people feel that you’re extremely greedy, never satisfied, and nauseating.”
Song Wei finally finished berating her. When she saw Yue Wanwan’s face turning darker and darker, she finally felt much more comfortable.
She even felt like she was taking her disgust for Yan Zhixing and cursing him out as well.
