Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Yutong’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the violent reaction from Yun Shishi. Her hunch was right, after all!
She mumbled in shock and disbelief, “Is it all true?” With atypical enthusiasm and excitement lighting her eyes, she tugged at her sleeve and asked, “Shishi… I hear others saying that you enjoy so many benefits before you start your acting career because you have an influential sugar daddy; is that really true?”
“No,” Yun Shishi frostily replied.
“Oh, really. What’s your relationship with that man, then?! You refused to answer when I asked you. Do you really take me as your friend?” She frowned and criticized her impatiently once she realized that she would not get much information from her.
Sniggering, Yun Shishi turned to ask in return, “Good riddance; when have we become friends? Why am I not aware of that?”
Jiang Yutong was dumbfounded by her sarcastic questions.
“What—”
She seemed to be badly affected by her remark as her eyes sank and she sighed in sadness.
“I thought… I thought we are friends!” she hesitantly said. With her face somewhat aggrieved and mournful, she bitterly continued, “You are so kind to me, so I thought you take me as your friend!”
She jested angrily, “That’s your reckoning? This so-called friendship is not reciprocal!”
Jiang Yutong was annoyed by her terse words. “Shishi, what do you mean? Are you fearful that I will covet your resources? Everything is good right now, so why are you being tactless in your words? You’re hurting my feelings!”
Wearing a jesting smile on her lips, she asked, “Jiang Yutong, what do you really want from me?”
The latter stared at her with a stunned look.
She was not used to her being oppressive and blunt.
“Why? It’s my turn to ask you a question and you keep quiet, instead?”
She smiled all of a sudden. “How about letting me ask your questions on your behalf? You want to know why I can clinch a role in Director Lin’s film as a newcomer, right?”
The woman’s eyes shone upon hearing that and reflexively nodded before catching herself and quickly shaking her head in denial. “That’s not what I want to ask!”
She still wore a frosty smile as she inched closer to Jiang Yutong. “What do you want to know, then? Is your question about how I was able to attend Huanyu’s annual gala? Or is it on how I managed to be the partner of Gu Xingze, the superstar, at that event? Maybe it’s about how I got to sign a contract directly at Huanyu’s headquarters when I have yet to appear in any show? All these questions you want to ask, you just want to know if they have anything to do with that man you saw earlier, right?”
She stood at 1.7 meters, whereas Jiang Yutong was only 1.6-meter tall. The difference in height between the two gave the former an advantage as she bore down on the latter.
The latter could only look up at her speechlessly. With her fists tightly clenched, she wanted to open her mouth but resisted several times.
These were what she wanted to know. She had masked her intentions well, thinking that she should be naïve based on her looks. She really did not expect her to be so perceptive and see through her aims.
“Jiang Yutong, you are already 23. You should be spending your time and energy on yourself; stop minding my business!” She told her off and, giving her one last look, sidled past her.
