Chapter 218: Raging Fire
As the tasteless Jewel Looks flooded Li Jingran’s tastebuds, she stood in front of a dressing table, gazing at the reflection and curled her lips.
That was right!
She must get a hold of herself.
She was Li Jingran. How could she possibly lose her cool over a trivial matter?
Li Jingran was a graceful, prim, and beautiful film star, the ambassador of G&D. As the leading lady of the show, she had to present the best and enviable version of herself and shine on the red carpet.
Li He sighed to himself after her weird smile gave him the creeps. She had been behaving maniacally lately and at this rate, he feared that she would become a raging lunatic.
Li Jingran hit the red carpet as the ever-dignified and graceful goddess of youth, drawing the limelight to herself with her radiant looks.
With all the camera flashes and eyes on her, Li Jingran finally regained her pride and confidence.
However, her expression turned grim after catching a glimpse of Shen Xi sitting at the center stage among the VIP seats as she approached the main stage.
Shen Xi, the brat, sat beside Gong Zhi.
The pair appeared familiar as they sat close to each other while engaging in a conversation.
Temperature rising in her, Li Jingran was about to lose it.
The red carpet was however a live broadcast and no matter what, Li Jingran had got to keep it together. She had to.
That brat must be here to get a good laugh out of Li Jingran.
Well, the joke was on the brat!
Shen Xi had no intention of attending the event as it would only keep her from her studies but today was the launch of Jewel Looks and there was a fashion show to watch. With Li Jingran as the ambassador, this was not a show she would want to miss.
After gracing the red carpet in the most impeccable manner, Li Jingran penned her signature on the autograph wall, attended to the press, and got off the stage. Gong Zhi was seated in between her and Shen Xi. She politely greeted them before taking her seat.
Shen Xi and Gong Zhi were in discussion about where to eat once the red-carpet event was over.
Li Jingran tried to keep her cool and consoled herself that she should not have an outburst while the public’s eyes and cameras were watching.
Shen Xi, the vile brat, had nothing to do with Li Jingran no matter what the former did. Since there were no more ties, Li Jingran should not have had Shen Xi lead her by the nose.
“Oh, my. It slipped my mind that today’s the launch of Jewel Looks.” It seemed to just occur to Gong Zhi. “Look at my memory. I can’t believe I forgot an important day like this.”
“Ms. Gong, I just called to prebook two bottles. You should call now!” A female celebrity beside Gong Zhi said with a smile.
“I’ll call right away.” Gong Zhi looked at Yan Ying. “What’s the number again?”
Sneering to herself, Li Jingran waited for Gong Zhi to make a complete fool of herself.
Gong Zhi would not be able to reserve one even if she called. Li Jingran set the alarm and phoned in earlier on the dot yet did not manage to snag one. Now that half an hour had passed, it was impossible there was any left.
As Jewel Looks was a pharmaceutical health supplement, the buyer’s real name and identification number were required when booking.
Gong Zhi relayed her information and paused for a moment before replying with a smile, “It’s still available? I thought I called in late and missed out on the shipment. I’ll get eight sets then.”
Sitting near Gong Zhi, Li Jingran could clearly pick up on the conversation between her and the person on the other end. Everything became a blur as she was raging fire and was close to losing her cool.
