"I didn't cause trouble," Ming Shu corrected, "my foot did."
"..." Where's my knife?
Aileen was so angry that her breathing became heavy and rapid. She dragged over a chair to sit in, slamming her hand fiercely on the desk in front of Ming Shu. Tian Yuan, who was standing in a corner of the room, was startled by the loud sound and shuddered. She didn't dare make any noise and draw attention to herself.
So scary!
Aileen forced a gruesome smile onto her face. "Tell me, Jiang Nian, what on earth are you planning?"
"To bully Ning Keqing." Isn't that exactly why I'm here? What else can I do?
The smile suddenly disappeared from Aileen's face and she stared at Ming Shu blankly for a long time. Then, with a haggard voice, she said, "Are you kidding me? What's the deal between you and Ning Keqing? How did she offend you?"
Aileen had asked Tian Yuan about this, but it turned out there was no relation between her and Ning Keqing. Jiang Nian started to bully her for no apparent reason. Was something wrong with her?
"Well, she pissed me off in every way," Ming Shu answered.
It's not my fault. I'm just taking the heat for the Harmony System.
"..." I'll take her to see a doctor , Aileen thought.
...
The next day, Ming Shu received a call from the director telling her she was expelled. No reason was given, but apparently, only the golden thigh Li Shaonan could wield such power in the industry.
"What a weak snub," Ming Shu commented after hanging up the phone, shoving a red bean cake into her mouth.
Tian Yuan was silent. What? Weak? You offended that Boss Li first, so isn't it common sense that he'd take revenge on you? Next you'll probably be completely cut off from acting...
Of course, Tian Yuan dared not say that now since Aileen hadn't received such information. If she did get bad news later, there would be another storm. She had to save her energy in order to survive.
Ming Shu leisurely finished the red bean cake, then searched in her phone's contacts list. Finally she found a number lying at the bottom and dialed.
Ring... ring...
Several rings later, a surprisingly cheerful voice answered, "Young Miss, you're calling back?"
The Host had a sound family background. However, her parents didn't approve of her entering the entertainment industry. They thought it was humiliating to the family when she had to frequently appear in public.
As a result, Jiang Nian started her career in secret. Later, when she became famous, her family found out and began to hinder her in every possible way.
Because of this, the Host had a tense relationship with her family. In the end, the Jiang family left Jiang Nian alone, while Jiang Nian seldom returned home. Even when they met with each other, it always ended up in arguments related to her career choice.
It had been nearly two years since the Host last saw her parents. It had been around then that she began to gain more attention and spent more time flying from place to place.
Speaking of which, it was when the Host was rumored to be having affairs with male stars that her relationship with her family worsened—perhaps it was her manner of protesting?
In the end, it was because of this issue that the Host didn't ask her family for any favors even when she was fiercely suppressed by Ning Keqing in the story.
