1945: Just An Actress

Just An Actress

"How can you say such nonsense? How can you say Hailan lost the ring and not mention it on purpose? We can sue you! We can also terminate your company's contract!" That manager immediately jumped up. He exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.2

Jiang Yao noticed that Zhou Hailan did not say a word and acted as if it had nothing to do with her, allowing her manager to stand in front of her and help her lead the charge. She immediately sneered in her heart.

"So this is what the gentle and beautiful Zhou Hailan is like in front of people." Jiang Yao's tone was also very impolite. "Someone did say she was wearing the ring. So this matter has nothing to do with Lu Xiaoxiao. Zhou Hailan is the suspect; she wore it to the washroom. She knows that it's an expensive ring. Maybe she hid it? The ring is so costly. She will have to do a lot of shows to earn it, right?"

Jiang Yao did not care about Zhou Hailan's dignity when she spoke. Why should someone else take the blame for the star? Zhou Hailan wanted to continue the pretense that she was a gentle maiden.

Was there even such a thing in the world?

Jiang Yao wanted to let those bullies know what it meant to not do unto others what they did not want to be done unto themselves.

The people there did not expect to see someone who would speak so boldly toward Zhou Hailan. The woman was so angry that her breathing was labored.

Just as Jiang Yao was waiting for Zhou Hailan to explain herself, Zhou Hailan suddenly stood up and walked toward Jiang Yao.

Lu Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Jiang Yao behind her and shouted, "Sister-in-law, be careful, she's going to—"

Before Lu Xiaoxiao could say anything, Zhou Hailan's slap had already landed on her face.

"How dare a newbie talk to me like that? I am Zhou Hailan, and I can make you lose your job with just a flick of my finger!"

Zhou Hailan's voice sounded so arrogant.

Jiang Yao did not expect Zhou Hailan to be so arrogant as to make a move just like that. She looked at the palm print on Lu Xiaoxiao's face, strode forward, raised her hand, and slapped Zhou Hailan's beautiful face even louder than Zhou Hailan's attack!

"You're just an actress, yet you're so arrogant that you think you're really the fairy you're playing." Jiang Yao was so angry that she was about to explode. Lu Xiaoxiao had taken the hit for her.

Zhou Hailan covered her face and looked at her in disbelief, but Jiang Yao did not feel relieved at all.

"Alright, let's stop the shoot. Who found this person? Why are we filming such a lousy star? Our company wants a gentle and pretty girl who truly matches our company's image and products, not this kind of pretense!" Jiang Yao raged at her employees.

Jiang Yao pulled Lu Xiaoxiao to the side and then called Lu Yuqing in front of everyone. With just a few words, she told everyone what had happened. Lu Yuqing immediately exploded when she heard that Zhou Hailan had attacked Lu Xiaoxiao.

"Does that Zhou Hailan not want to live anymore? She dares to touch Xiaoxiao?" Lu Yuqing was flustered and exasperated. The company belonged to Jiang Yao, and Lu Xiaoxiao was their sister. One could say that Lu Xiaoxiao was the company's young miss. Zhou Hailan was too bold. She was earning money from their company while bullying their employee!

Did she think that the Lu family would let that go so easily?
