Luo Luo’s manager continued, “I apologize. I’m really sorry for adding trouble.” He looked at Xia Ling, then at Xia Yu’s group. It was obvious that he did not want to offend both sides.

This made Xia Ling very uncomfortable. It was fine if it were someone else, but as a manager, how could he not take care of his artiste and side with others instead?

However, it was really strange...

She took a few steps back and whispered to Chu Chen. “I thought Xia Yu lost authority.” From a long time ago, after Xia Yu was exposed for insulting her sister, Pei Ziheng’s attitude towards her was not as good as in the past. The most obvious part was that her manager, Chu Chen, would not accompany her anymore and even passed on his daily work to his subordinates.

Xia Ling always thought that Xia Yu was now an artiste with only a little more privilege than others, but she did not think that there would be so many people fawning on her.

Chu Chen smiled. “Boss has always treated her well.” If someone else besides Xia Yu caused so much trouble, he would have already been dead, but Pei Ziheng only reduced a few of her privileges. Everyone could see that in Pei Ziheng’s heart, Xia Yu was still special.

Chu Chen continued, “Recently, Boss has been more kind to her.”

“Recently?”

“Ever since you came to Boss’ side.”

Xia Ling was slightly startled and suddenly realized something. Pei Ziheng already knew that she was Xia Ling, but he was unsure about her conflict with Xia Yu. He only thought that she still doted on her sister, so he treated Xia Yu more kindly. However, Xia Yu loved to take advantage of times like this to throw her weight around. No wonder many people started to cater to her since she was truly not ordinary.

Unfortunately, she was hindered by Xia Ling.

“Xia Yu.” She walked up and squinted her eyes slightly. “Is it fun to bully others?”

Xia Yu looked at her and then looked at Chu Chen who was following behind her. There was an ominous premonition rising in her heart. “Ye Xingling, why are you here?” She asked quietly. “Didn’t you have a falling out with Dongyue?”

“Which is why I’m an artiste of Imperial Entertainment now.” Xia Ling really did not want to join Imperial Entertainment, but now, her status was useful to help her stand up for Luo Luo. There was a cold smile on her face. “What a coincidence that my manager is also Chu Chen.”

Everyone drew a cold breath and looked at the highly regarded manager behind her.

People who were assigned to the powerful Chu Chen were usually favored and protected by Imperial Entertainment’s Big Boss, Pei Ziheng. To be exact, only the sisters, deceased Diva Xia Ling and Xia Yu.

Now, this female celebrity called Ye Xingling was also receiving this honor?

They started to look at her with a new perspective.

Suddenly, someone said, “In the early afternoon, it is said that Boss Chu accompanied a mysterious girl as she got out from Director Pei’s Rolls Royce. Could it be Ye Xingling?”

A commotion started in the crowd. Oh god, was this girl in front of them really Pei Ziheng’s new favorite?

All kinds of gazes started to fall on her and Xia Yu. No wonder she dared to provoke Xia Yu. It turned out that she really had some authority. Unknowingly, the crowd automatically retreated a few steps to give both of them some space. They were all working for the company and needed their jobs to survive. The conflict between the Boss’ imperial harem was not theirs to interfere with. In this sort of situation, it was not ideal for ordinary workers like them to get involved. Instead, they had to observe the situation first.

Everyone immediately became spectators.

Xia Yu was boiling with anger. These snobs! Just now, all of them were rushing and competing to pledge their loyalty to her, but it turned out that they only dared to do so when faced with a soft persimmon like Luo Luo! When it came to a hard nut like Ye Xingling, all of them ran away like scared rabbits! Furthermore... Ye Xingling came here by Brother Ziheng’s Rolls Royce?!

In a flash, jealousy and danger were injected into Xia Yu’s heart like venom from a poisonous snake.

This sl*t was also worthy of that?!

However, despite the grievances in her heart, she appeared pitiful on the surface.

She ignored the unsightly Ye Xingling, turned around, and meekly said to Chu Chen, “Brother Chu, we are all your artistes. Are you going to just watch her go against me?”

She was performing her trick well and directly made Chu Chen settle Ye Xingling.

Xia Yu believed that Chu Chen would definitely settle this matter. It had been more than two years, and there were countless women that Pei Ziheng took care of. It was also not like there were no other women who got on that Rolls Royce. Every time she had conflicts with those women, Pei Ziheng and Chu Chen would always stand on her side. It was just too bad for them that she was Xia Ling’s sister. Xia Yu confidently let out a victorious smile and waited for Chu Chen to teach her a lesson to let her understand her status.

Unexpectedly, this time, Chu Chen said, “This is something between you two. It would be better if you solved it yourselves.”

He was too clever to interfere. There were a few women who were able to sit in the Rolls Royce, but besides the deceased Diva Xia Ling, only Ye Xingling was able to live in Pei Ziheng’s house. Even Xia Yu did not have that privilege.

Chu Chen understood clearly that he could not treat Ye Xingling the way he treated those women in the past.

Xia Yu did not expect that he would respond like that and was stunned for a moment. However, as she was skilled at acting, she suddenly put on a wronged smile that was perfect for the situation. “Well then, Ye Xingling, since bullying others is not fun, why do you keep bullying me?”

People who offended others were usually the first to complain.

Xia Ling sneered. “How have I bullied you?”

“I was discussing a problem regarding the use of the recording studio with Luo Luo. It’s nothing related to you.” Xia Yu said. “Why are you being biased towards Luo Luo?” She looked at Xia Ling with innocent eyes as if she were wronged, easily gaining the sympathy of others.

Xia Ling continued to sneer. “Luo Luo is my friend. There’s nothing wrong with standing up for my friend. Xia Yu, if you have friends, you can also tell them to come over. Call all of them over. I will wait here for you.” She was always unafraid of everything and became excited whenever she encountered a fight. No quarrel was too big for her.

At the side, Chu Chen wanted to rub his forehead. Why did his Boss like quarrelsome women?

Xia Yu bit her lip. Friends? Of course, she had no friends. Those so-called “sisters,” “good friends,” or “partners” were the result of either her fawning on others or others fawning on her. They all were together for their own agendas. Who could she call at this time? Her face slightly turned pale. “Ye Xingling, don’t bully others to the extreme!”

Was this bullying to the extreme? She was really trying to intimidate her by pinning more and more labels on her.

Xia Ling took things easy and looked at her calmly. “I can’t afford to accept such an accusation. Xia Yu, I hope that you will be the one not bullying others to the extreme. Luo Luo already said that she only needed some time to finish recording her songs and won’t delay you. Are you sure that you want to clear the area and chase her away like that?”
