[3] Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please, Restrain Yourself

Chapter 520: Her Man

After discussing among themselves, a certain group of people decided that someone was backing Li Beinian.

And it wouldn’t be just anyone, it had to be someone quite awesome.

Someone who had enough standing to fight against Dawn Entertainment, just to keep her happy.

Given that the person also had the capability to oppose Mu Donglin, he could very well be a big boss of equivalent standing.

Everyone had a different opinion, and the more they discussed this, the more engrossed they got. Finally, they came to a consensus—she was a kept woman.

“She got there through giving sexual favors, I’m quite certain.”

“See how it’s important to have a pretty face. Maybe she’s really good in bed too?”

“…”

Cheng Su and Bai Yuan were livid when they heard all these and almost started a brawl.

However, Li Beinian held them back.

She said calmly, “Don’t be too bothered by them. Envy reveals the ugly side of people.”

Furthermore, these people were right.

She did have someone backing her.

Not only did her man have a showdown with Mu Donglin, he had even beaten up the man!

Jiang Qian laughed when she heard Li Beinian’s words. She responded, “Indeed, we envy you. We’ve worked conscientiously for so many years, but still, we’ve lost out to those who are willing to put themselves out there.”

After she said this, an unknown actor added, “That’s right. It would’ve been perfect if only we could be a little more shameless—stripping and getting onto the bed, then watch the money rolling in. It beats working for five or six years and still getting nowhere—like us.”

“What are you saying!” Bai Yuan was livid. “You have such filthy mouths!”

“Exactly. You don’t have the capability and you don’t want to work hard. And now you’re blaming the gods and everyone else. Serves you right for not having made a name for yourselves!” Cheng Su retorted. “Our Sister Nian is pretty and talented, and she works hard. Why should it be surprising that she gets somewhere!”

“Stop it already,” someone said. “She’s pretty, but it’s also true that she offered herself.”

“Having lost Eldest Young Master Mu, she’s now very quickly found herself the boss of Sheng An. That was a quick switch!”

“I heard that the boss of Sheng An is the CEO of a listed company, and he’s old and ugly. I doubt he’s still able in bed. I don’t suppose he’d be as easy to please as Eldest Young Master Mu?”

“Enough already,” Li Xueqing spoke, as though trying to be kind. “We’re all here to audition. We wouldn’t want to cause her to do badly.”

“How could that be possible?” Jiang Qian burst out laughing. “She’s got herself backed by the boss of Sheng An. Coming for an audition is merely a formality, everyone knows it.”

Cheng Su raised his voice angrily, “What an unpleasant person you are. To think that I used to like watching your shows, ptui! I’m a hater from now on!”

Jiang Qian wasn’t bothered. “You’d only need to ask your master whether I’m speaking the truth.”

“How would you know?” Li Beinian said unhurriedly. “That the boss of Sheng An is old, ugly and he’s not able in bed? Unless you’ve tried him yourself?”

Jiang Qian’s expression darkened as she said, “If I had, do you think I’d be here today?”

“It sounds like you’re keen to try.” Li Beinian shot her a meaningful look. “Since you’re young, you should do it if you want to.”

Jiang Qian scowled. “Who wants to? You, on the other hand, have gone astray at the tender age of 20. By the time you get to my age, you’ll probably be rotting!”

“By the time I get to your age…” Li Beinian paused and studied her heavily made-up face, then said sincerely, “I don’t know if I’ll be rotting, but by the time I’m hitting my 40s, I definitely wouldn’t be smearing a young 20-year-old at an audition.”

“Ptui!”

“Hitting the 40s?”

“Jiang Qian has barely just celebrated her 25th birthday…”

…

Jiang Qian’s expression turned ugly, and she hollered angrily. “You’re too much!”
