Chapter 139 - Being Spiteful
Where did this newcomer come from? Why doesn’t she know the rules?
She was an unknown newcomer who had violated the unspoken rules when she snatched the limelight from the seniors with her extravagant appearance.
This is not her show. Is she doing this on purpose?
Yang Mi did not like the look of Yun Na. She looked like a bimbo, the kind who would act without thinking, and indeed she was right. By stealing the limelight, she had offended many stars who were more experienced than her.
“Which director did you come with?” she asked as she haughtily walked up to her.
Yun Na was somewhat dumbstruck by her presence. This woman had a domineering demeanor and haughty eyes.
“I’m… I’m with Director He. I’m his partner.”
Yang Mi was being spiteful to her. After all, Yun Na had unreservedly seized all the attention that was meant for her, so she naturally would not make it easy for this newbie.
“There are so many directors with ‘He’ as their last name. Not everyone is qualified to enter this venue. Tell me his name and I’ll determine his qualifications.”
Yun Na gritted her teeth in frustration. This woman was making things difficult for her. Who her partner was had got nothing to do with her!
Still, she knew that Yang Mi had a tough backing behind her. Those actresses who managed to make it big in the entertainment industry would have strong supporters backing them up. Thus, she did not dare offend her. Otherwise, as a newcomer, she would be banned from this industry before she could make an appearance.
As such, she respectfully replied, “It’s… It’s He Lingxiang; Director He.”
“You stammer when you speak. It seems to me that you are not used to such splendor. Do you think you are fit to attend this gala in the first place?!”
“Sister Yang, as she has just said, she is He Lingxiang’s partner! That Director He is… Hehe!” Another effulgently dressed female star that was standing next to Yang Mi whispered this to her.
This actress was Tang Yu. She was the supporting character in a TV drama, which Yang Mi was the female lead. She gained quite the fame due to the show’s popularity and subsequently received several acting offers. She became rather close to Yang Mi lately.
Though she was whispering, in fact, she was making Yun Na hear it. Her words were full of humiliation. “The newcomers nowadays will do anything to get ahead, won’t they? He Lingxiang has such a notorious reputation and she can stand to be with him. She must be a sadist!”
Yang Mi gave a sarcastic laugh. “True! There are some newcomers who don’t know any better. They think they own the world once they grab a thigh. Who do they think they are?! The show business is not meant for every Tom, Dick, and Harry to crawl into.”
“Hmph, that’s right.”
Yun Na was full of grievances as she could not rebut despite their continuous humiliation of her. She could only pout while tears welled up in her eyes, clenching the edge of her dress in silent anger.
Tang Yu rubbed it in further. “Oh, no. Look at her, acting so pitiful. Sister Yang, she seems to be the calculative type. With how she is dressed for the occasion, she’s obviously trying to undermine you!”
“Is she fit?!” the other asked, “I think what she’s wearing is all fake!”
Yun Na immediately cut in, “No—”
“No? How about that jewel on your neck? Where did you get it?” Yang Mi did not believe her and forced her into giving an affirmative reply. “This necklace is worth a few millions. Can you afford it?”
“That’s impossible! It must be fake! She looks like a country bumpkin!”
A few invited actresses at their side had crowded around them and started to voice their vicious and sarcastic remarks one after another.
Yun Na was shaking with fury. These women were out to humiliate her just because they were jealous and unhappy of her stealing the limelight from them!
