Fu turned her head and asked Zhang Mo, "Did you see me plotting against this lady? I haven't spoken a word to her from beginning to end, have I?"
Although Zhang Mo had initially remained impartial, he had also grown disapproving of Lin Meimei by now. Therefore, he slightly favored Fu Xiaoya in his words and said, "That's correct. There has been no communication between you and this young lady, so the notion of plotting simply doesn't exist."
"You! All of you!" Lin Meimei trembled with anger.
"Alright, Meimei, stop causing trouble," Shi Yuan stopped Lin Meimei. They also had their own faults in this situation, and they couldn't prove that Fu Xiaoya and Manager Zhang Mo had conspired against them. So, they had to accept defeat.
Lin Meimei pushed away Shi Yuan's hand and shouted loudly at Fu Xiaoya, "Everyone, come and see! There's a shameless woman here! She slept with many men just to participate in a show, and in the end, she was abandoned. She deserves it!"
More and more people gathered around, and Fu Xiaoya calmly looked at Lin Meimei. "Did you see that?"
Lin Meimei's legs went weak, intimidated by Fu Xiaoya's gaze, but she still mustered the courage to say, "A beautiful woman like you, who wants to enter the entertainment industry. One doesn't need much intelligence to know that you would sell your body!"
Shi Yuan was about to go crazy with anger. There were too many people here, and some might recognize her. Suppressing her impatience, she walked up to Fu Xiaoya and said, "I apologize on behalf of Lin Meimei. Please don't mind."
"I do mind," Fu Xiaoya looked at Lin Meimei with a penetrating gaze. "Go on, continue saying what I've done."
"You..." Lin Meimei stuttered, unable to come up with a coherent response.
Fu Xiaoya's gaze turned cold. "You said I slept with many men? Well, then tell me who these men are." She felt that her temper had possibly improved. In the past, Lin Meimei's head would have ended up hanging from a tree.
Such a gaze made Shi Yuan recall Fu Xiaoya's expression when dealing with Zhang Li. She urged Lin Meimei, "Apologize quickly!"
Intimidated by Shi Yuan's genuine anger and overwhelmed by Fu Xiaoya's presence, Lin Meimei bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry."
Of course, her apology didn't mean she truly believed she was wrong.
Fu Xiaoya smiled. "You apologize, and I'm supposed to forgive you?"
Shi Yuan's face turned sour. In Hai City, no one dared to disrespect her. "Then what do you want?"
Without looking at Shi Yuan, Fu Xiaoya suddenly slapped Lin Meimei. Before Lin Meimei could even react, Fu Xiaoya said, "Your mouth is filthy. I'm cleaning it up for you. From now on, think before you speak."
Lin Meimei's desire to get angry and seek revenge was thwarted by Shi Yuan, who intervened at the right moment. It was evident that Shi Yuan remained composed and level-headed during critical moments.
Fu Xiaoya flexed her wrist, easing her displeasure. She turned and walked towards the exit. When she reached the doorway, she suddenly turned back to Shi Yuan and said, "Miss Shi, I believe you will definitely defeat that girl who was just watching. Keep up the good work, I have faith in you."
Fu Xiaoya was more than willing to sow discord among these fake friends.
Upon hearing Fu Xiaoya's words, Shi Yuan's face visibly worsened, and Wang Xinran, who was beside her, also had a displeased expression. As for Lin Meimei, who was covering her face... "Fu Xiaoya, how should I punish her?"
After Fu Xiaoya left, the crowd began to discuss what had just happened.
"That person just now, was she the actress Shi Yuan?"
"No way, Shi Yuan comes from a good family background. How could she have such a fierce argument with someone over a microphone?"
"The instigator was probably that girl in the short skirt. She was aggressive from the start and even bullied the manager." The girl in the short skirt was indeed Lin Meimei.
"Why is nobody acknowledging the girl with the enchanting fishtail braid, radiating ethereal beauty? She was simply remarkable! While others threw mud at her, she fearlessly fought back! It was immensely gratifying to witness!" This individual was specifically referring to Fu Xiaoya. In a world where many girls, wrongly accused of using their bodies for personal gain, could only timidly deny such claims and silently endure, Fu Xiaoya's refusal to back down was truly admirable and earned her the admiration of many.
"Oh no, I was so engrossed in the drama that I forgot to take photos!" Someone regretted not taking pictures for memories.
At that moment, an unkempt man wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and a mask approached the scene. He entered the microphone store.
