Chapter 864: I Will Make Sure Anyone Who Crosses Me Dies

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

How could Gu Jingze of all people possibly tolerate being used by others?

Due to her guilty conscience, she could only glare at Lin Che and look at her lofty demeanor as she stood there, but could not do anything.

Lin Che proceeded to sit down comfortably. It was as if she was telling Peng Yu directly, “I like it when you can’t stand me but can’t defeat me either.”

Peng Yu was really about to go mad with anger. She covered her cheek as was at a loss as to what to do.

She could only stomp her foot hard and rush backstage to touch up her make-up to cover the red swelling on her face.

Lin Che sat there quietly. In a short time, the area that had earlier been empty was now completely filled up with people. The celebrities who were supposed to attend were all here.

Over the past two years, the National Acting Ceremony had done quite well for itself. All of the popular celebrities usually attended it.

Xue Yang looked at Lin Che and introduced them to her, “That one is from the same company as Qin Wanwan. His drama has been quite popular recently. His name is Cheng Wei. As for that girl sitting on this side, she’s typecast as a silly and sweet girl. Her name is Zhou Junjun and she has been taking up several roles of the damsel in distress recently.”

Lin Che nodded while listening to him. Then, she said to Xue Yang, “It seems like you will probably win one of the categories today.”

Xue Yang scratched his head. “I hope so.”

Lin Che asked, “Why didn’t Abby come with you today?”

“Her father asked her to go back. She went to America and hasn’t returned yet.”

Just when Lin Che had understood him clearly, she saw Peng Yu walk up the stage to receive her award.

Although her face no longer looked swollen, her make-up looked extremely thick. The reporters smiled and asked her if she had anything to say about receiving this award.

She chuckled and said, “I’m grateful for everyone’s recognition of my acting skills. I think that acting skills can be improved with practice. Mine have especially improved recently. I hope that everyone can pay more attention to my latest role.”

Hearing this, the host quickly said, “You’re right. Everyone has been thinking recently that although your character does not look like the female lead, it turned out to be a character with many highlights and was very memorable. Why did you choose this role?”

“Because I really like challenging myself. To be honest, whether it is the lead role or not is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I can improve my acting skills through the process.”

She was mocking Lin Che directly. It seemed very improper that she pulled out of the production just because of a dispute over whether she was the lead or not.

The host did not avoid this topic of conversation but actually continued to ask about her acting skills. It was plainly obvious that the host had already liaised with Peng Yu beforehand to deliberately bring up this matter.

“Isn’t she simply provoking Lin Che?”

“But her acting skills are indeed quite good.”

The celebrities off stage started discussing the matter immediately.

“Even though Peng Yu’s personality is so-so, she is indeed a good actress.”

“I guess. If she even managed to push Lin Che out of the production, I can imagine how impressive she is too.”

It was not as if Lin Che did not know that everyone was talking about her. She looked at the stage calmly. It was not long before the host made a grand introduction, “Next, let us welcome on stage the guest who will present the awards to everyone. I believe everyone should be extremely familiar with her. Let’s welcome Lin Che.”

Lin Che smiled and stood up. She lifted her dress and went up on stage step by step.

Everyone glanced askance at Lin Che. Because of Peng Yu’s words earlier, everyone was really looking forward to how Lin Che would perform now.

However, Lin Che walked to the front stylishly.

The host asked, “In the past, you always attended ceremonies to receive awards. It’s your first time attending a ceremony to present the awards. How do you feel?”

Lin Che said, “Nothing much.”

“...” The host continued, “Alright then. You make sense too. Indeed, you don’t have to think anything about it. Then, is there anything you want to say to the actors and actresses of the new generation?”

“I don’t really have anything to say either...” Everyone immediately broke out in laughter at the expression of confusion on Lin Che’s face.

This host had obviously liaised with Peng Yu beforehand. The host really could not continue because Lin Che was deliberately making this difficult for her now.

Sensing the situation, the host’s expression turned very sour as well. She was quite a famous host as well, but she had never been played like this before.

Who did Lin Che think she was? She was just someone who was past her prime.

Nothing was ever heard about many of the people who made their comebacks even after they got some attention when they initially made their comebacks.

Did she actually think that she would continue to be famous just because she had some popularity when she returned?

The host felt that she had tolerated numerous big shots too. How could Lin Che even dare oppose her, seriously...

Thus, the host immediately mentioned, “Peng Yu is probably the best actress of the new generation after an old veteran like you left the industry. As her senior, do you have any comments on her acting?”

Calling Lin Che an old veteran...

The people offstage looked towards Lin Che as if they were waiting for something sensational.

Lin Che broke into a smile. “I’m old. But can’t I defy age? I just returned from abroad. I didn’t really watch domestic entertainment news while I was overseas. It’s actually my first time knowing about this young girl, Peng Yu. She’s actually quite good. She’s younger than me by only two years and has very good acting skills. It’s quite nice that she became popular.”

Calling Lin Che old?

As if Peng Yu was very young.

The host smiled awkwardly. “Haha. Then, do you have any plans for now?”

“I’m still planning to act but I’m trying to get back into the groove.”

The host snickered and intentionally put her in a spot by saying, “Then, why don’t we test you here and see if you’ve gotten back into the groove? There are so many people in the same industry here. Everyone can have some mutual interaction too, right? We have so many screenwriters here. You can look for a script here...”

“There are so many screenwriters... Oh, the screenwriter of the previous drama I was filming is here too. In that case, there’s no need to look for another script. To be honest, I’m very familiar with the script of my recent drama. Although I forgot a part of it, I definitely didn’t forget everything.”

The host had no choice but to play along and said, “Really? That’s great. We’re so lucky.”

Lin Che looked offstage with a harsh gaze.

Peng Yu was still sitting there. She touched her face and snorted while thinking to herself, I’ll see what you can do.

However, Lin Che’s gaze suddenly changed completely. She was looking offstage as if she was looking at her enemy.

The malice in her gaze instantly differentiated her greatly from her past roles.

Not to mention the tempestuous storm that was evident in her eyes. However, all of this was flashing only in her bright eyes. Her clear and fair face remained as calm as ever and her expression was as per usual, except that the corners of her lips were gently lifted and she was smiling coldly. People seemed to sense a slight chill spreading from the edges of her lips.

Everyone was momentarily stunned. They watched Lin Che walk forward step by step while saying, “It’s fine. I have never squarely confronted the people who offend me but I have plenty of ways to make her life a living hell. In the end, she will come back crawling to me to grovel and beg for me to let her off.”

Her gaze changed completely and the smile on her lips immediately turned youthful and bright. She seemed as innocent as a teenage girl. Her words followed suit as well. “Besides, she’s not just anyone. She’s my sister. On that day, I must be even more considerate towards her and treat her especially well. It would be a disservice to our blood relations if I didn’t kill her in an unforgettable way, right?”

A sinister atmosphere spread across the stage. Everyone was instantly shaken to the core. They felt that the way she had changed her emotions and facial expressions at whim was truly not of a level that ordinary people could attain.
