Chapter 919: Chapter 919: Rong Yan Has Arrived
Li Shengxiao = Dazzling!
Li Shengxiao + Rong Yan = Instantly breaking through the films!
As the two individuals of equal attractiveness appeared, they immediately caught everyone’s attention. Li Shengxiao himself felt nothing about the stares, leading Rong Yan to find the person he wanted to see.
Rong Yan, due to professional reasons, was accustomed to attention and thus did not particularly mind the gazes around her, faithfully following by Li Shengxiao’s side, playing the supportive role well.
“It’s Mr. Li.”
“Who’s the woman with Mr. Li?”
“Don’t know.”
“Isn’t that the actress from one of Li Group’s entertainment companies? She’s quite popular recently.”
“Is she his date?”
“I don’t understand, but someone of her status is unlikely to be Mr. Li’s girlfriend, probably just his date. But don’t you find it strange? Isn’t Shen Siyuan usually close to Mr. Li and their small circle? If Mr. Li wanted a date, why didn’t he ask her? Moreover, there’s no rule today that requires bringing a date. In the past, Mr. Li never brought a date even to events that required it. Especially today when there’s no such requirement, it’s puzzling.”
“I don’t get it either.”
Shen Siyuan, who had stepped outside for air, walked in just in time to overhear the whispered discussions inside. She sensitively caught her own name, and glancing into the center of the crowd, she indeed saw the person she despised the most—Rong Yan!
In comparison to her meticulously prepared attire, Rong Yan’s outfit wasn’t particularly lavish. Yet it was precisely her appropriate dress that made her simple elegance outshine Shen Siyuan’s expensive gown.
Next to her, Rong Yan looked more like the socialite expected at such a banquet, whereas she seemed like a star eager to perform, desperate to break into this circle.
Shen Siyuan clenched her fists in anger, her nails digging into her flesh without her noticing. Her face turned ashen as she thought about turning back.
At that moment, a long leg blocked her path, “Where do you think you’re going?”
Shen Siyuan redirected her gaze and met Cui Jiangjing’s eyes. For a moment, she choked up, unable to speak, “I…”
Cui Jiangjing knew she wouldn’t keep to herself; his expression darkened as he said, “You wouldn’t be thinking of causing trouble with Rong Yan just because you saw her, would you?”
“…I didn’t think that!” Shen Siyuan turned away, her face sullen as she spoke.
Cui Jiangjing didn’t believe her for a second!
“If you weren’t thinking that way, what did you mean by the things you said when you ran into Chu Xi? Wasn’t it to complain to Chu Xi, to inform her of Rong Yan’s presence?” He saw right through Shen Siyuan’s intentions and called her out, “Or is it that you still think you can sit on the sidelines and watch them fight, waiting for them to both suffer losses and then take advantage of the situation?”
Shen Siyuan’s face flushed with rage as she countered, “I didn’t think that! Everything you’re saying is all your own speculation. You find me unpleasant now, of course you feel everything I do is wrong. In your eyes, everything I do has an ulterior motive. I don’t understand, what have I done to make you have such a big problem with me. Just now in front of all those people, you had to make it so I couldn’t step down gracefully. Are you happy now?”
Cui Jiangjing averted his gaze and spoke indifferently, “You know very well what you’ve done. I don’t wish to embarrass you by saying it out loud, but you should really restrain yourself. Do you truly believe you’re that impressive, capable of outplaying Chu Xi and the others? Not to mention whether Shengxiao is someone you can take advantage of. Focusing on Chu Xi alone, having met her once, what do you think she’s like?”
