At half past seven, the car was parked in front of a private club. Ji Nuanyi guided the others upstairs. The club was decorated with marble and was as luxurious as a palace.

They walked into the VIP room at the end of the corridor and saw a few people sitting there. Zhong Yi was sitting in the middle of the group, holding a glass of wine and talking to a middle-aged man. Seeing them walk in, the look on her face changed slightly.

“Director Li, Mr. Sha, sorry I’m late.” Ji Nuanyi stepped forward, smiling.

“Nuanyi, this is the first time I’ve seen you with a man. Is this your boyfriend? He’s pretty handsome.” Director Li raised his head and laughed.

Ji Nuanyi was puzzled at first, then realized what Director Li was talking about. She grinned and responded, “No, this is Mr. Xiao, the major shareholder of Yu Xi, the Vice President of Shengting.”

Once Ji Nuanyi had introduced Xiao Si, the others in the room immediately stood up to shake hands with him. “Mr. Xiao, I’ve heard a lot about you,” someone said. Xiao Si gave a faint smile. Tonight wasn’t about him, so he just wanted to be a quiet, good-looking boy.

As someone introduced Zhong Yi to her, Ji Nuanyi raised her eyebrows and said, “I’m really familiar with Miss Zhong. Years ago, she was just an unknown voice actor. I even recommended her for a job. Well, later on, I was surprised to hear that she had stolen her friend’s boyfriend. With Yi Jingxi’s help, she advanced rapidly in her career. Since then, she’s in more important positions than I am in all kinds of activities.”

The conversation had started in a quite unfriendly way. Zhong Yi was a little embarrassed, yet it was inappropriate for her to show any discontent. With no other choice, she said to Director Li who sat beside her, “I think Miss Ji has misunderstood me. I clearly remember how she helped me. You can’t blame me for the activities. The organizers put me in important positions on purpose, to fawn on the Yi Group.”

Director Li smiled and took a sip of wine. He said, “Zhong Yi, do you know why I invited you here today? It’s not about the casting of my new movie. Instead, it’s because Nuanyi wants to see you. I’ve been friends with her for years. Years ago, when I was in a slump in my career, I wanted to make a movie, but people didn’t even want to talk to me. Only Nuanyi helped me. She worked with me on that movie for free. Don’t think that everyone is as heartless as you.”

Zhong Yi’s expression changed. She stood up, grabbed her purse, and prepared to leave. Ji Nuanyi rushed over, picked up a glass of wine, and threw it in Zhong Yi’s face.

“Ji Nuanyi, you’re insane!” As the group of men around her merely watched this happen, Zhong Yi couldn’t help but burst out screaming, “I am Yi Jingxi’s girlfriend! How dare you treat me like this!? Yi Jingxi won’t let you get away with this!”

“Yi Jingxi is just using you.” Luo Sang walked over, looked at her coldly, and said, “He has been using you to antagonize me, and that’s all.”

“What are you talking about?” Zhong Yi sneered and said, “Xu Luo Sang, you’re still jealous of me. It’s so ridiculous. Jingxi has given me all the things that you don’t have.”

Luo Sang pressed her lips together without saying anything else, as she saw that Zhong Yi was slowly reaching a hand toward her pocket. She grabbed Zhong Yi’s hand and took her phone out of her pocket. As she had thought, Zhong Yi was recording.

“Give me my phone back!” Zhong Yi screeched and tried to take back her phone.

Ji Nuanyi immediately pushed her onto the couch, picked up a wine bottle, and pointed it at Zhong Yi while saying, “Do you think that I don’t know what you’ve done these past few years? Your fans never stopped insulting me and even my family online, because you have been telling them to! I’ve seen countless evil women, and you’re the worst of them all!” Ji Nuanyi’s fierceness frightened Zhong Yi and made her curl up on the couch. Even the men around her were stunned.

Xiao Si’s mouth was agape as he grabbed Luo Sang’s sleeve and whispered, “This girl seems to weigh less than 100 pounds, but she’s scarily strong!”
