“Xingze—”
“Don’t call me Xingze. Are we close?” He coldly glared at her.
Yan Liangxiong thought of his pride as he quickly signaled Han Jingyi to apologize with a look. She hurriedly lifted her wine glass to Gu Xingze and said, “I’m sorry, Xing—Mr. Gu! Please accept my apologies for any offense I have committed! Please don’t hold any grudges…”
Her pitiful apology only served to infuriate him further.
“Oh, please. I don’t want your disgusting wine.”
His words shattered her into pieces. She was told of this man’s proud temperament and tendency to look down on others. His venomous lips would tear apart those he did not like, and she just got a taste of that now!
“Director Yan, does your aesthetic have a problem? This woman is tacky and crass; how is she suitable for the female lead role? She doesn’t even fit the pure and clean image of ‘Yin Xiachun’. I am nauseated at the thought of her acting next to me.”
Han Jingyi could not bear it any longer.
What is it with this Gu Xingze? His mouth is full of poisonous darts! Does he really need to put me down so badly? How many actresses really make it big with their talents alone? They are also doing what I’m doing to rise among their peers and reach their current positions!
She was angered to the point of almost crying.
Gu Xingze merely snorted at her pathetic appearance.
She wants to be my female lead and ride on my coattails to stardom? Dream on!
“Why? Are you feeling sorry for yourself?” he asked in an apathetic voice, adding, “It is better if you keep away from this production. My mood gets worse at the mere sight of you.”
He paused and turned his attention to Yun Shishi, who was sitting in a daze in the corner. He asked, “What’s your name?”
Despite her hazy mind, she was aware that this superstar was asking for her name. Pulling herself up on her seat, she nervously replied, “How – How are you doing? I’m Yun Shishi, Miss Han Jingyi’s assistant.”
“You are her assistant?” He was rather surprised. He had assumed that this pretty and pure-looking girl was a newly signed on actress. She fitted the role of the female lead in his mind.
The ‘Yin Xiachun’ in his heart was exactly like her!
He shook his head and his eyes beamed into a crescent shape.
“You are such a pretty and clean-looking girl. Why are you a mere assistant to a mediocre model? You can do so much better for a job!”
“I found this job today…”
He darted a look at Han Jingyi, who was fuming, and sarcastically said, “She’ll never be famous! You won’t have a future if you continue following her. You are prettier than her. Why don’t you enter the show business, instead? You’ll surely make it big!”
Han Jingyi’s eyes widened in disbelief!
This Gu Xingze, how can he…? His pretty lips managed to send her to the bottom of a pit, yet they were able to send her unknown assistant soaring in the sky at the same time.
This was absolutely demeaning to her!
Hearing his words, Yun Shishi quickly objected in her tipsy state, “I can’t…”
“Why can’t you?” He smiled and deliberated, “You fit the image of the female lead I have in my mind.”
Bang! Han Jingyi could not restrain her anger any longer. She slapped the table hard, stood up, and shot the man a dirty look. She then asked frostily, “Gu Xingze, are you done?”
Han Jingyi had drunk a little earlier and was slightly inebriated. He was her idol and when he put her down so mercilessly, she was thoroughly upset. Under the influence of alcohol, she decided to lash out.
