“Push the line?” Li Beinian smirked as she continued, “In what ways am I pushing the line?”
Her smugness caused Jiang Qian to seethe in anger and humiliation. “You…”
She had barely started to speak when she suddenly felt her head being forced against the wall.
Tears were streaming down her face now, but even crying was agonizing.
Not only was Li Beinian exerting more force now, she even grabbed the back of the woman’s neck as she demanded, “Answer my question.”
The pain was too much to bear. Jiang Qian choked and said in a muffled voice, “It… it was me.”
Her voice was suppressed, and her words distorted and vague. She looked so tortured that one might actually feel sorry for her.
Li Beinian relaxed her hands slightly and asked, “Why? We’ve never even met before today. I don’t think we have any bad blood between us, do we?”
After these words were spoken, the people in the crowd exchanged looks.
“Perhaps not before, but for sure there is from now on.”
“Jiang Qian has been in the industry for a long time, and she’s rather well networked.”
“Li Beinian is pretty bold. Oh look, someone’s responded to the video I posted.”
The grip on her relaxed, much to Jiang Qian’s great relief.
She choked even more when she heard Li Beinian’s words and cried. “You… let me go!”
Ever since she launched her career in her teens, Jiang Qian had never been so ashamed!
“You haven’t apologized to me.” Although Li Beinian spoke unhurriedly, her tone was firm, not allowing any wriggle room.
Jiang Qian shut her eyes and said reluctantly as tears rolled down her face, “I’m sorry.”
Li Beinian finally released her.
The woman straightened up and immediately heard someone behind her saying, “Hahaha, look at the footprint on her butt.”
“That’s pathetic, how shameful…”
“Serves her right for her foul mouth, she’s looking for trouble!”
Li Beinian shook out her tensed muscles. Looking towards Xie Yiyi, she said, “Thanks.”
Xie Yiyi was stunned for a moment, but then immediately smiled and said, “Thank you, too. You’ve got cool moves there.”
Li Beinian smiled though she felt rather regretful. She said, “It looks like I’m not going to have much luck with ‘Stinging Vine’.”
Given that she had created such a situation.
If her guess was any good, she’d be receiving a call from Bo Chengcheng very soon.
Not only that, she’d probably be blacklisted by the “Stinging Vine” team.
To think that she had put so much effort into giving it a good shot, really…
She had made a big sacrifice over an impulsive act.
Jiang Qian, on the other hand, felt increasingly indignant as she massaged her aching neck and butt.
She looked around at the mobile devices trained on her. Turning cold, she no longer cared to restrain herself and shouted, “Don’t you know why I’m targeting you?!”
Preparing to leave, her words piqued the other’s interest, and they turned around again.
Even Li Beinian, who was about to walk away, now halted.
Jiang Qian hollered angrily. “I can’t stand you. You’re obviously a kept tramp, and yet you’ve become so popular. Why should you be better off than people like us, who depend on real skills and capability to make a living!”
Her words were full of resentment.
Li Beinian turned around and looked at her frostily.
Jiang Qian took a step back nervously, but still indignant, she continued, “You think you’re a big deal just because you can beat up a person? You exchange your own body for fame. Everyone in the circle knows that you got where you are with the backing of Eldest Young Master Mu. After he dumped you, you got into an old decrepit man. That’s how you ended up having all these resources. Otherwise, you’d have been long dead, given how you’ve offended Eldest Young Master Mu!”
Cheng Su fumed when he heard this and replied angrily, “Our Sister Nian comes home after completing her engagements every day, where would she find the time to mess around with unwritten rules!”
Jiang Qian retorted disdainfully, “Do you think I’m stupid? The boss of Sheng An has made her his kept woman. He puts on a show of providing a staff dormitory, which in fact is the venue where these sexual favors take place!”
