Chapter 305: I Want to Skin Them Alive!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Even someone as gutsy as Jiang Luoli was taken aback.

Qiao Anxin usually looked sweet and nice.

She didn’t seem the least bit aggressive.

This was the first time she witnessed Qiao Anxin’s other side.

And this first time was rather terrifying.

“Anxin, let’s go. Aren’t you going to the audition? It’s your turn soon, don’t be late for it. Director Bai doesn’t tolerate people who aren’t punctual.” Linda didn’t want Qiao Anxin to act on impulse and regret her actions later.

She had put in much effort to get funds and resources to groom Qiao Anxin.

As much as she was unhappy with her now, she didn’t want her own artiste to end up badly.

There was nothing to gain on her end if that happened.

Qiao Anxin took a deep breath and clenched her fist. “Qiao Mianmian, we’ll see who has the last laugh.”

Qiao Mianmian didn’t give a hoot about her and simply smiled. “Alright, I’m waiting for you.”

“You’ll regret this.”

Having spat her last words, Qiao Anxin walked past them and headed off.

Qiao Mianmian stood there for a few seconds before leaving with Jiang Luoli.

In the elevator.

Qiao Anxin’s expression darkened the moment the elevator doors closed.

She started yelling. “Slut! Who is she to be so arrogant in front of me. And that other slut Jiang Luoli. I’m going to skin them alive!”

Linda couldn’t help but wince when she saw Qiao Anxin’s menacing expression and tried to coax her. “Why stoop to their level? They’re doing all this to make you angry, so you’d do something ugly in public.

“If you really did it, you’d have fallen into their trap. She’s a nobody now while you’re a celebrity. If anything, you’re the one at a disadvantage if word gets out.

“You should know this very well.”

Qiao Anxin still had her fists clenched. “Of course, I know this. Why else do you think I’ve been swallowing my anger? Qiao Mianmian is a nobody. She’s in no position to be so arrogant in front of me!”

Was it all because of that mysterious man?

Was that why she’d become so arrogant?

Who exactly was that man?

Why was it that she was unable to find out his identity even after exhausting her resources and connections?

Was he really such an important and powerful person that he was under the radar?

She’d spent money to hire the best of private investigators, but there wasn’t even a clue or trace after days of investigation.

But if he really was that sort of person, how would Qiao Mianmian get to know him?

Wait, how did they even know each other?

There were so many questions in her head, and she was getting increasingly curious about this man’s identity and background.

“What’s there to be angry about.” Linda tried to appease her again and deliberately chose the right words. “She’s inferior to you in every aspect; she can’t even compare to you. If I were you, I wouldn’t waste my time and energy on someone as irrelevant as her.”

Chapter 306: I’ll Audition for the Third Female Role Then

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Anxin’s expression softened slightly after hearing what Linda said.

There was even some smugness in her eyes.

That’s right. She was the winner in both love life and career. So many people were envious of her.

Her good friends were even more envious when they found out that she was going to marry into the Su family. They talked about how she would be able to live a good life as Young Madam Su even if she were to stop working.

This career wasn’t an easy one.

Most female celebrities dreamt of earning enough money for their dowry so that they could marry into a rich family and be a stay-home wife.

Qiao Anxin was very content with what she had in life.

But…

The thought of that mysterious man made her feel indignant.

If that man was richer and more powerful than Su Ze, she surely wouldn’t take it lying down.

She actually didn’t want to marry Su Ze until she figured out who that man really was.

Thankfully, Madam Su hadn’t agreed to her being together with Su Ze. She still had the time.

“I wonder which character that slut auditioned for. Do you think she made it?” Qiao Anxin furrowed her brows, slightly worried.

That slut’s face was too eye-catching.

She used to be a calefare in the background and never had the chance to properly show her face. That wasn’t so worrying for Qiao Anxin.

But if she really managed to get a good role, that’d be bad news for her.

Linda said, “I checked it out. The female lead has already been decided. The audition today is to pick out the second and third female roles. The second female role has a huge part in the show, given her presence in the field now; she wouldn’t be able to get it. I think she must’ve tried out for the third female role.”

“Is that so?” Qiao Anxin smiled, but her eyes were cold. “I’ll audition for the third female role then.”

Linda was shocked. “The third female lead? Given your current level of popularity, taking the third female role is below you.”

Qiao Anxin sneered. “I’d rather be disadvantaged slightly than give Qiao Mianmian a chance to showcase herself.”

“But…”

“Don’t say anymore. It’s set.”

On the other side, Bai Yusheng took his leave not too long after Qiao Mianmian had had her turn.

He entered the elevator.

The assistant who followed Bai Yusheng asked, “Director Bai, you didn’t have to come down personally today. Why did you…”

Come anyway?

Bai Yusheng smiled but did not answer the question. “What do you think of Qiao Mianmian?”

“Ah?” The assistant was a little shocked to be asked this question but answered politely anyway, “Beautiful. Stunning. The third female character was supposed to be a stunning beauty anyway, so her appearance really suits it.”

Bai Yusheng nodded. “I think so too. When I saw her for the first time, it felt as if I saw Shen Yinian walk out of the book and stand before me.

“I came today as a favor for someone. I didn’t expect it to be a pleasant surprise for myself.” Bai Yusheng smiled as he said that.

The assistant was a little confused. “Director Bai, you mean you picked Qiao Mianmian because you owed someone a favor?”

“That was the case initially.”

Bai Yusheng rubbed his chin as his eyes glistened. “But now, I think I have more to gain from this. Hahaha…”
