Chapter 254: You’re In Love With A Joke

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Zhiyuan was not in the country. For the past few days, he had not been in sight. Occasionally, they spoke but not too deeply. Regarding Lin Xiaojuan’s matters, Shen Qianshu had never considered looking for Li Zhiyuan for help. She believed that Lin Xiaojuan knew how to handle things. Lin Xiaojuan was having a meeting with the managing team in the office. Yan Jianming’s bond with them had ended, and he had been passed on to another manager in the company. Today, they attacked Gu Xie crazily for bullying others because of his status and for taking away good resources.

When Xiaojuan went for the meeting, Xiaomei went to complain to Shen Qianshu. The moment Lin Xiaojuan entered the company, Yan Jianming had already gone over in an arrogant manner and ordered Lin Xiaojuan to give him his acting role from Direction Leng. He threatened that if she did not do so, she would not be able to survive in her profession.

“What a shameless f*ckboy…” Shen Qianshu laughed from all the anger. “How did he have the dignity to say all of that crap?”

“Having this matter exposed indeed does Sister Xiaojuan no good,” Xiaomei said. “The industry is just this big. Given that Sister Xiaojuan has been working with him for so many years, if he were to say some things to the outside world, it’d be easy for Xiaojuan’s reputation to be ruined.”

“Well, he’s counting his chickens before they hatch, and I’m afraid his efforts will go in vain,” Shen Qianshu said. “Xiaojuan is not someone to be trifled with.”

Neither am I.

Master, even more so.

No big deal, if I can’t beat you, I’ll just cozy up to someone powerful.

After Lin Xiaojuan had finished her meeting, Shen Qianshu brought her around to look for food. Unfortunately, they bumped into Yan Jianming and Lu Mengyun. They were really ‘clever.’ People on the net were flaming Gu Xie while these two people were acting vulnerable, pretending to look professional. They earned themselves some new fans because of this. Recently, it was as if there was a contest on who could be more popular than one another, and people were also flaunting their relationship statuses to others. On social media, people showed off their lovey-dovey behavior with their heart-shaped necklaces and rings. The fans loved seeing them flaunt their love.

Lu Mengyun was holding onto Yan Jianming, having long curly hair with her pear-shaped head and wearing a white woolen cap. She looked very feminine and beautiful, and the pair looked like a perfect match.

“Isn’t this the old hag who got abandoned?” Lu Mengyun laughed and looked at Lin Xiaojuan while her hand was still around Yan Jianming. She was clearly flaunting it like a champion. Lin Xiaojuan stared at them expressionlessly.

She had just returned the day before, and she did not have a good night’s rest as she had been scrolling through the news on Gu Xie. She looked very fragile. On the other hand, pride could be seen in Yan Jianming’s eyes. After all, this poor little lady looked so fragile over him. He felt great as if he had gotten revenge.

He knew how much Lin Xiaojuan loved him.

She loved him so much that she put herself down.

Shen Qianshu said, “Oh? Isn’t this the little twenty-year-old nun [14. In many religions, nuns have their hair shaved and are bald.]? What brand did you get your hair from? It’s pretty nice, but it’s a pity that it does not look good on you, little nun.”

Lu Mengyun flushed. When it came to b*tching about people, no one could beat Shen Qianshu. Especially when the target was someone she dislikes, she could insult them until they questioned their own existence. She was so good at it she did not even need to use vulgarities. Lu Mengyun’s cheeks looked red then white then red then white. She was furious. “Who gave you permission to speak about my hair?”

In these days, her hair was her greatest pain.

“I’m just envious of your fake hair. I’m just asking. Don’t be agitated, little nun.” Shen Qianshu laughed as she looked at her.

“Y-You… Shut up!” Lu Mengyun clenched her teeth and stared at Shen Qianshu hatefully. “I won’t let you off, Lin Xiaojuan, Shen Qianshu. Just you wait for my Lu Family to get revenge. I will ensure both of you perish forever.”

Shen Qianshu and Lin Xiaojuan looked at each other, and Lin Xiaojuan said, “Ignore them, let’s go.”

“Stand right there!” Yan Jianming yelled at her. He stared arrogantly as if he was lowering his status to speak to her. “If you get me the role from Director Leng, I’d consider speaking up for you.”

Lin Xiaojuan stared at his face and suddenly felt disgusted.

Fool. What kind of joke had I fallen in love with all these years?

Chapter 255: Does ‘Soft Rice [<em>15. Soft rice is used to refer to men who live off women instead of working for a living.</em>]<em>'</em> Taste Nice?

Yan Jianming behaved all high and mighty, waiting for Lin Xiaojuan to beg. He was feeling really great, and he was sure that Lin Xiaojuan loved him. He believed that she would not change and would definitely do as he said. It was just that she was angry now.

Even if he were with other men, this silly woman would still do anything for him.

He always thought so.

“Yan Jianming, if you’re so good, why would you need me to help you get any role? Speak to Director Leng yourself.” Lin Xiaojuan rejected his offer instantly. She had long been numb from the pain, and her heart had turned cold. She no longer seemed to care.

She was too foolish for putting herself through all the self-torture in the past eight months. She could not see clearly.

Yan Jianming got angry from the shame. “Lin Xiaojuan, Gu Xie was also going to be on that show. We had nothing against each other. Yet, why is he now attacking me? Taking away my resources and ruining my future. You must have gotten Tong Hua to mess around and speak untruthfully around Gu Xie. Otherwise, why would he attack me? Since you are the one who caused the problem, it is only right that you are held fully responsible.”

“I have nothing with Gu Xie. Do you think Gu Xie would be against you over what Tong Hua says?” Lin Xiaojuan sneered and stared at him. “Don’t make me the scapegoat just because you can’t remember when you offended him.”

“Lin Xiaojuan, stop quibbling. You did it. If you don’t get the role from Director Leng back, the Lu Family will ensure that you won’t be able to survive in Brilliant Entertainment. Oh, no. I mean in the entire entertainment industry. Your baby godson Tong Hua will also lose his reputation. Just you wait.”

Lin Xiaojuan shook in anger. Yan Jianming’s words could no longer hurt her, but she was angry that Yan Jianming had used Tong Hua against her. Qianshu, Tong Hua, and she had no connections nor resources, and they had started from the bottom together. They worked hard to live an interesting life, yet their lives could be overturned the moment this person said a sentence. No one would be willing to go through all of that indignity and rage.

“Yan Jianming, does ‘soft rice’ taste nice?” Shen Qianshu’s voice sounded pleasant as usual, but it was as if there was chilly snow hidden in there. It was chilling.

Yan Jianming looked clearly displeased as if someone had hit him on his soft spot. “Shen Qianshu, shut up. You are the one who stirred all of this trouble up. If you had not done so, we would not even be in such a state.”

He really hated Shen Qianshu. The problem between him and Lin Xiaojuan had been maintained for almost a year. Lin Xiaojuan could not leave him, and she had been bearing with him. He needed Lin Xiaojuan to be his backup plan, so he occasionally gave her some benefits, such as saying some sugary words to her for his survival.

He never thought that Shen Qianshu would step into their matters and even beat him up. Since then, the relationship between Lin Xiaojuan and Yan Jianming was thoroughly ruined.

He had seen through all of this long ago. In Lin Xiaojuan’s heart, he was behind Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua. If people held the three of them at gunpoint, she would definitely save either Tong Hua or Shen Qianshu.

If it were not for Shen Qianshu, he would not have to lay his cards on the table, and Gu Xie would not have insulted him or made him lose his face.

Who knew what nonsense they had said in front of Gu Xie.

Yan Jianming felt that Shen Qianshu was to blame for all of that.

“Yes, I’m driving a wedge between all of you. So what?” Shen Qianshu stared at him coldly. He was really despicable. Both she and Xiaojuan had not seen his true colors all these past years. Were they blind? Or were they just too busy.?

“Shen Qianshu, you…”

“Brother Ming, don’t be angry. Daddy won’t let her off,” Lu Mengyun said confidently. She disliked Shen Qianshu too. She disliked ladies who were prettier than her, such as Lin Xiaojuan and Shen Qianshu.
