2596: Do you think I am that easy to bully?!

Do you think I am that easy to bully?!

The actress, who had not gotten over her anger, wanted to say something more, but her assistant pulled her back, warning cautiously, "Shishi, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. It'll only be detrimental to you if you say anything now! Besides, the director is asking you to speed up. With you running late, you'd better hurry up and get your makeup done fast."1

She was really furious at this time, but she knew not to delay the production, so she turned around and moved to leave when a discordant voice sounded behind her.

"Hey, are you leaving? Didn't you just confront us with indignance? Now that we're ready to talk about it face to face, you want to leave now! Are you thinking of slipping away because you're feeling guilty?"

"That's right! You were so confrontational earlier, yet you're running away now like a fugitive."

She could not hold back anymore. Shaking off her assistant's hands, she turned around and spoke in a frigid, stern voice, "Who made the sarcastic remarks?! Own up now!"

Her thunderous voice startled the rest into silence.

Since entering the team, she had always been gentle to anyone and hardly raised her voice. Hence, when she showed her inviolably angry self, she immediately shocked everyone.

Nobody had ever seen such a harsh side of her before!

Her angry eyes swept across the crowd. Because of her sullen anger, her expression became especially severe as her usually gentle face took on a bitter frostiness.

Seeing that no one dared to speak or stand forward, her voice turned colder. "Is it because I've been gentle and kind all along that you think I'm a weakling without a temper?"

Standing dumbly at one side, her young assistant was also stunned into non-reaction by her unexpected fearsome outburst.

"Why are you keeping quiet now? Didn't you want me to confront you?!" The actress snorted.

"I don't know who's fanning the flames exactly, but I'm warning you: I'm not that easy to bully! My dressing room is right next door; if any of you have a problem with me, you can go directly to the dressing room and confront me! If it's my fault, then I'll admit it and apologize, and I'll even inform the whole crew of my criticism, but if it's you guys who are making things up and spreading gossip without asking for the truth, I'll not back down, either!"

Mu Xi looked at her watch and immediately tugged at her charge's sleeve carefully. It seemed that, because of the actress's annoyance, the former could not help being scrupulous for a while.

She had never seen her artist flying into such a fit of rage before!

"Shishi, don't argue with them. I'll bring you to do your makeup now; we're very late already."

It was only then that the actress reined in her anger, turned around, and walked away with her assistant. As she left the room, she was still very upset and slammed the door shut behind her.

The door closed with a loud, thunderous PONG!

The rest were startled by the loud noise and then looked at one another after calming down.

Someone mumbled guardedly, "What the hell?! It's obviously her fault and she's the unreasonable one here, yet she still sounds so indignant."

Somebody stopped her. "Hey, that's enough! Didn't you see how stuck-up she acted? She can bully a newbie like Ji Yan here because she's the senior."

With her eyes rimming red, Ji Yan pouted petulantly. "Stop it; I'm already upset enough."
