At that moment, Ye Feifei knew that all her rage and outpouring would only backfire, just like yesterday, when her impulsive behavior had led to today's tragedy.
She laughed, her smile radiantly enchanting, "You're welcome!" She casually flicked her big wavy curls off her shoulder, tracing a perfect arc in the air, then, batting her charming eyes, she said nonchalantly, "Actually, there are too many people kept by me. Everyone knows Miss here is all about looks, and I simply can't stand juicy fresh meat like you! So, you are not the first, and certainly not the last. With my looks and financial level, what's opening a harem? It's just unfortunate that some, who don't make it in the art world, can't make a stand elsewhere either. People like that, who brag about themselves, only deserve to be concubines; I don't acknowledge them, and you don't dare to bring out the Water Army to smash your own foothold, so you can only slander consistently! Being famous, how does that help? You still can't wash off the stain with money!"
There's a well-known saying, "A man who can abandon his face is invincible under the heavens!"
So, the best tactic against a "shameless" person is to be even more "shameless" than him!
Indeed, upon hearing these words, Pretty Boy's innocent and harmless smile instantly vanished without a trace.
Ye Feifei was very pleased, her lips curling up in a perfect crimson smile, glowing charmingly in the light. She leisurely and unreservedly walked toward the silver-grey Benz in her seven-centimeter high heels. Pretending to be casual, she slid her hand along the car body, which had obviously gathered dust from driving on the road. Ye Feifei then disdainfully rubbed her fingers, commenting, "Tsk tsk... Look at all this dust on the car, Benz is considered a big brand in this country, how can it show its status when it's all dusty? Don't tell me you have money to buy, but not to maintain. That would be such a waste! You like looking sharp, don't you? This car represents your face too, right? Surely you do not want to be tarnished forever! If you can't afford to maintain it, remember to let me know, Miss here is always kind-hearted, consider it a charity!"
Could this insinuating curse be any more intense?!
But Ye Feifei no longer looked at Pretty Boy by the car; turning around, she drifted away like a breeze, gracefully disappearing into the bustling world.
Behind her, her proud and slender silhouette stretched very long, forming a distinctly enchanting illusion in the bright night, like a fleeting dreamscape of peach blossoms falling in a midnight reverie.
He thought, the feeling of first sight was perfectly concluded at this moment!
—Ye Feifei, did I ever tell you that meeting twice in one day is fate decreed by heaven, so, we are destined to be entwined together, tangled for a lifetime, until the end of time?
Ye Feifei returned to her apartment utterly exhausted, probably because her mind was too cluttered, making it really hard to fall asleep.
Lazily flopping onto her big bed, she didn't bother to turn on the computer, picked up her phone, and unsurprisingly saw the internet flooded with news about "Hua Yunliang being kept by a famous designer." However, after this morning's confrontation, there were no more new reports pointing the finger at her.
She couldn't help but marvel at the power behind Hongyu. She thought, it wasn't her and Xia Yichu's sharp words, nor the inability of the media paparazzi to produce solid evidence, but rather… this "war" between Hongyu and Sky Pillar. As usual, Hongyu won, and Sky Pillar predictably lost!
Of course, for someone like her, although talented, she was merely an accessory to Xia Yichu. She wasn't naive enough to think this was Hongyu serendipitously whitewashing her reputation; Hongyu was merely cutting off Sky Pillar's attempt to exploit her for hype.
Thus, the most critical part of the whole news wasn't about whom Hua Yunliang was kept by, but whether Hongyu had any possibility of collaborating with Sky Pillar.
Of course, for Hongyu to achieve this series of actions, the most fundamental thing was that she, Ye Feifei, had the ability to clarify the facts. If she couldn't even clear her own name, both she and Xia Yichu would be abandoned by Hongyu!
With her eyes closed, she involuntarily sighed a long breath, and Xia Yichu's helpless sigh emerged in her mind again.
The waters of the entertainment industry are really unfathomably deep, she thought, what she saw now was only the tip of the iceberg.
In the future, the road is long and winding, and I will always be ready! (Borrowing from "The Lament")
Just then, a private message notification popped up on Weibo. Ye Feifei lazily clicked on it, and it was actually from Shen Sirui, the message read:
Miss Ye, I don't know if you are online right now. I just saw that you followed me, so I tried sending this private message, hoping I didn't disturb you! I am not intending to pry into your privacy, and certainly, I do not believe those rumors that distort the truth online. However, since the rise of Shen Corporation, we too have occasionally been troubled by such malicious rumors. If there's anything at all that Shen can help with, as a friend of Yi Chu, you are naturally also my friend. We have met already, so please don't be shy, whatever help Shen can offer, whether it be financial or through connections, just say it!
Ye Feifei was simply incredulous when she saw this private message!
—Shen Sirui contacted me?! He really contacted me?! So, we haven't game over yet?!
At that moment, someone was so overjoyed that she just jumped straight out of bed: "Ah...Ah...Ah...Wow haha..."
Suddenly, the utterly disheartened Ye Feifei revived at the speed of light, and she excitedly sat in the swivel chair in front of her computer desk. Her hands trembled as she responded to the private message, just like her heart that was bouncing wildly inside her chest:
The internet is a virtual world after all, where truth and lies overwhelm and it's hard to distinguish right from wrong. Of course, there are not no people with clear vision like President Shen, but none are as considerate as you! [Cute][Cute][Cute] It's apparent, President Shen is a straightforward person, and your few words have truly warmed my heart [Shy][Shy][Shy]! However… only those who can withstand storms can stand firm in the city's torrents. I'm doing well, thanks for your concern!
But as soon as she hit send, Ye Feifei regretted it! She frantically clawed at her hair, feeling like she was going to explode on the spot!
—Ye Feifei, are you sick? When someone genuinely cares about you, can't you let go of your pride and arrogance and flirt properly?! Don't always be so real! Delete that last sentence, can you not sabotage yourself?! I sternly warn you, men like women who are soft and demure. Put away your Queen persona! You are going to end up friendless!
But it was too late to cancel it!
Who's to blame?!
Only herself for being too excited! Unlucky... unlucky... unlucky...
