“Yeah. You want to pour some on me?” Ming Shu admitted without any hesitation.

“…”

Having seen all kinds of unreasonably troublesome people who always tried to quibble, Li Shaonan had never yet met someone so unashamed. She even asked him with a smile if he wanted to pour juice on her.

If he did that, he’d only be degrading himself.

“I’m leaving, then.” I’m quite a busy man.

Ming Shu walked past the two and toward a staff member who was staring straight at them. “Did you take this picture?” Ming Shu asked, holding her cell phone up.

The staff member was torn away from the handsome face of that golden thigh and looked at the photo on Ming Shu’s screen. Her facial expression suddenly changed. “I… I didn’t…”

Ming Shu lightly swiped the screen; another blurred picture appeared before the staff member’s eyes. It was a recording of the set.

“It can be inferred from this recording that only two people were able to take a photo at this angle at that time, and clearly the other one did not have a cell phone, so it must have been you.”

The staff member’s face turned pale and she tried to explain. “I… I just sent it to a friend, I didn’t do anything. Sister Jiang Nian, I know it was wrong. Please don’t tell the director, I can’t lose this job.”

On a film set, taking photos without permission generally isn’t allowed. Even if it weren’t a mandatory rule, if Ming Shu decided to hold this woman accountable for the leak, she would be unable to defend herself.

Putting away her phone, Ming Shu smiled and said sweetly, “You’re thinking too much. I’m just here to tell you to get a good shot of me next time. My pretty face was distorted. It’s annoying.”

“…” What? the surrounding people thought.

You spent so much time getting the surveillance video for a thorough analysis, just to tell the responsible for the leak to make you look better next time?

WTF?

Is she crazy?

Ming Shu turned around; it only took her a minute or so to talk to the staff. Li Shaonan and Ning Keqing were still standing there. It was hard to tell whether they were shocked by Ming Shu’s unique style or were waiting to give her trouble.

Ming Shu fearlessly walked over. Ning Keqing acted like she was terrified, her body trembling.

Ming Shu genuinely had to praise her: This is what we call a true drama queen.

She could play the part anytime and anywhere.

Ming Shu stopped, facing the slightly gloomy gaze of Li Shaonan. She turned her eyes to Ning Keqing and said, “Miss Ning, why are you shaking? If you’re sick, you have to see a doctor. Don’t delay or it’ll lead to big problems.”

Ming Shu was so happy to gain Hatred Points.

Aileen heard this just as she arrived.

After recognizing the man standing opposite Ming Shu, she felt her blood surging and almost couldn’t suppress a fervent desire to beat Jiang Nian as violently as possible.

Li Shaonan’s arm tightened around Ning Keqing’s shoulders. Ning Keqing seemed to want to say something, but Li Shaonan’s squeeze made her shut up. She bowed her head and dutifully played the role of a newbie being bullied by the big shot in the circle.

“Miss Jiang.” Li Shaonan’s voice gave Aileen a shock. People nearby also shuddered and looked to Ming Shu worriedly, one after another. “You are a little different from the rumors.”

“You’ll find that I’m going to be even more so.” I’ll bully your little girl in all kinds of different ways and make you angry enough to explode. Scared?

Ming Shu had a sweet smile on her face, her gaze as soft as flowing water. She didn’t seem to be afraid of him at all.

Li Shaonan squinted his eyes a little and pasted on an extremely cruel sneer. He then walked away with his arm still wrapped around Ning Keqing.

Pressured by his powerful aura, nobody dared to take a breath until his figure disappeared completely.

“Everyone said there’s someone behind Ning Keqing, but I never thought it would be him.”

“OMG, with him supporting Ning Keqing, who’d dare to provoke her now?”

“Luckily I didn’t offend her before this.”

Surrounded by whispering, Aileen stalked over to Ming Shu like she was walking on the edge of a knife. She had to painfully endure her strong, violent urges so as to not slap her.

“Sister Aileen.” Ming Shu greeted her breezily.

She dared to smile!

She was still laughing aloud!

Did she know who she’d just offended?

Ugh, I’m going to explode!

No words could describe Aileen’s feelings right now.

Watched by various pairs of eyes, she pulled Ming Shu back to the lounge.

Once the door was closed, Aileen burst out completely.

“Jiang Nian, do you know who that man is?” Do you know? Do you know? Do you know?

Aileen was howling on the inside.

With just one word, he could expel her from the entertainment industry.

No matter how many connections one had, it meant nothing to him.

“Li Shaonan.” Ming Shu sat down carelessly.

“Since you know he’s Li Shaonan, why were you provoking him?!” Are you crazy? Aileen shouted at Ming Shu, eager to pull her ear and make her realize the seriousness of the situation right now. “Do you know that you might be ostracized because of today’s behavior? From now on, there might be no place for you in showbiz.”

Li Shaonan, the famous tycoon of the entertainment circle, possessed an unpredictable temper and was a golden bachelor who had innumerable women chasing him, desperate to sleep with him.

“Then I’ll do something else. I don’t think Li Shaonan controls the whole world, does he?”

“…”

Do something else, that’s easy to say!

Jiang Nian really was crazy.

Aileen reached out to touch Ming Shu’s forehead as if to check her temperature. Ming Shu stared at her in confusion.

Aileen was in her mid-thirties. Because of her many years of working experience, she’d always appeared to be a capable, intelligent woman.

“It’s not a fever,” said Aileen, placing her hands on Ming Shu’s shoulders. “Tell me, my little ancestor, what on earth happened to you these last two days?”

What happened to make you this free?

So free as to offend the biggest big shot in this industry.

Why don’t you fly straight to the heaven!

Ming Shu pushed Aileen’s hands aside, helplessly spreading her own. She thought, Who the hell knows what I’ve been going through.

Isn’t this a place where I can do whatever I want?

[Attention, Guest. I recommend you not violate the character setting. Avoiding unnecessary trouble will be helpful to completing your task.]

Ming Shu was able to communicate with the Harmony System within her mind, so she grunted. Before coming here, you promised that I could do anything.

[I’m just offering a suggestion.]

Shut up.

[…]

Aileen really couldn’t imagine how a person could change so quickly. The familiar face looking at her was definitely Jiang Nian’s, even the mole on her neck was there, but everything else seemed different.

But what’s done is done and being angry is of no use. What’s most important now is to cover up this matter, or Jiang Nian will ruin her star career.

Those who displeased Li Shaonan all ended up miserable.

Aileen calmed down a little and asked again, “Did you know the one behind Ning Keqing was Li Shaonan?”

It had never been spoken of. No one imagined that Ning Keqing, a vase in the world of acting, could have anything to do with Li Shaonan.

“Yeah, I knew.” Even if she suffered the wrath of gods, she had to obtain those Hatred Points.

She couldn’t do anything about it.

[…] Such exciting helplessness.

Aileen had a ferocious look on her face like she was about to kill Ming Shu at any moment. Just let her break out!
