CHAPTER 88: DISDAIN

Cai Xiaojing said, "This film might as well be renamed ’Fragrant Princess.’ She played a supporting female role, but Director Zhang edited it to make her the female lead. Fortunately, Bingbing is magnanimous; otherwise, those two would have had quite a show on set."

Everyone just smiled.

It was getting late, and Wen Nuan was a bit tired and wanted to go back to rest early. Cheng Anya and Xu Nuo watched them go downstairs. Before leaving, Cheng Anya asked with a smile, "Nuan Nuan, Xu Nuo isn’t in City A most of the time. When you have time, I’ll ask you out for tea."

"Okay!" Wen Nuan agreed readily, and only then did Cai Xiaojing leave with her.

Xu Nuo watched their departing figures and said with a smile, "Mommy, she’s very good."

Xu Nuo didn’t know how to praise people and rarely did so. Her words of praise were always very direct, like "very beautiful" and "very good." Cheng Anya smiled. "Yes, she’s a good kid, a bit cunning, but her nature is very kind and pure. However, she’s increasingly wanting to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger."

"I think so too. Feimo still has a good eye."

"Alright, don’t mention it. When you say that, I think of Han Bi again." Cheng Anya was a bit displeased. "She must be certain that I won’t tell Feimo about things, that’s why she dares to be so fearless."

"Forget it, it’s all in the past anyway. It’s better if Feimo doesn’t know."

Cheng Anya nodded. Just then, Ye Kelan called again. Xu Nuo answered and hung up the phone, unable to help but say, "That girl Kelan can’t sit still for a moment. She’s been caught by the police again."

"What happened?"

"She went to a bar with Huo Rehuan, and it happened to be a bar involved in prostitution. They didn’t escape the police inspection and were arrested as underage prostitutes. She’s calling me to bail her out. Shit, that dead girl Kelan. And those police are really stupid. Can a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl be a prostitute?" Xu Nuo covered her face. "Coming back for one trip and ending up in the police station twice. Where am I supposed to put my face? Shitou is going to tease me again."

"That dead girl, let’s go bail her out. Our princess really knows how to cause trouble."

"Causing trouble is one thing, but not knowing how to escape, that dead girl." Xu Nuo frowned. "She’s probably drunk. Xiaohuan too. Those two together are bound to cause chaos."

Cai Xiaojing and Wen Nuan walked downstairs. Just as they reached the parking lot, they suddenly heard someone calling her from behind. Wen Nuan turned around and saw Han Bi and Linda. The two of them walked over.

Han Bi, contrary to her well-behaved demeanor in front of Cheng Anya, became very arrogant, looking down at Wen Nuan condescendingly.

Wen Nuan seemed not to notice, smiling sweetly, not caring at all, and even greeted her kindly.

Han Bi glanced at her coldly. "Miss Wen, I didn’t expect you to be quite scheming, integrating into the Ye family so quickly. Don’t think you can fool me with a little act. Feimo doesn’t like you at all. The title of fiancée is just Madam Ye’s wishful thinking for you. Don’t get carried away."

Cai Xiaojing wanted to speak, but Wen Nuan held her back. Her principle was, if others don’t bully me, I won’t bully others, but if others want to bully her, she wouldn’t remain indifferent. "Miss Han, I’m not getting carried away, nor am I being presumptuous. It’s you, what are you nervous about? What are you afraid of? A dignified international superstar like you, putting on airs and challenging a rookie like me here, don’t you think it’s beneath your dignity?"

Han Bi’s expression changed. She had always thought that Wen Nuan was the kind of little white rabbit who would let others manipulate her, with no power to fight back. Just now, in front of Cheng Anya and Xu Nuo, she had been smiling good-naturedly, eating her meal, saying nothing, and even speaking well of her. Han Bi thought she was just a newbie who didn’t understand anything, having just entered society. Newbies were newbies; a few casual words would intimidate them.

She hadn’t expected Wen Nuan to be able to counter her. Han Bi hadn’t anticipated this.

Which newbie dared to contradict an international superstar unless they didn’t want to make it in this industry? Wen Nuan’s boldness wasn’t due to her personality; it was probably because she was certain someone was backing her.

Han Bi smiled coldly, approached Wen Nuan, and looked at her disdainfully. "I understand now. So that’s how it is, Miss Wen. You are truly skilled, deliberately acting innocent in front of Madam Ye and Xu Nuo. So, you are not as simple and kind as you appear on the surface. It seems you are very clever and know how to please them. Wanting both fame and someone powerful to rely on."

Wen Nuan glanced at Han Bi indifferently. "Actually, Miss Han, I’m not your fan. I’ve only watched a few of your dramas. What I said that day was just polite talk. Once, I considered you a goal, but goals and idols are different. I’m not your fan. Today, I suddenly realized that considering you my goal was also a very superficial choice. It seems there’s nothing on you worth learning from."

"Wen Nuan, you..."

Han Bi was mocked and ridiculed by her, her face changing with anger. By what right could a little girl yell at her? Did she really think she was the mistress of Anning International?

"Don’t get angry out of embarrassment. I’m telling the truth," Wen Nuan smiled sweetly. "As for whether I’m trying to please Madam Ye, that’s none of your business. Someone like her doesn’t lack people to please her. If I can make her happy, it’s also a skill, better than some people who want to please her but she doesn’t appreciate it."

Han Bi was furious. Linda was also indignant and raised her hand to slap Wen Nuan’s face, but Cai Xiaojing stopped her halfway. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Wen Nuan smiled sweetly on the side, as if it had nothing to do with her. Cai Xiaojing and Linda were facing off.

Han Bi suddenly felt that this girl Wen Nuan was not simple at all.

She was indeed simple when she was being simple, but when she counterattacked, she was also very formidable, just like that day in Casablanca. Ordinary girls would have been terrified in that situation. Who would have thought of attacking Brother Xiong and getting revenge for themselves?

Perhaps, she had always misjudged her.

"Linda, you should think carefully about the consequences of hitting her," Cai Xiaojing said with a cold smile. Linda gritted her teeth and broke free from her grip.

Wen Nuan didn’t want to have a conflict with Han Bi, but her tone was too humiliating.

She had no intention of getting further entangled with Han Bi. "Xiaojing-jie, let’s go."

As soon as she turned around, Han Bi called out to her, "Wen Nuan, do you know my relationship with Ye Feimo?"

Wen Nuan slowly turned around, looking at Han Bi with a smile in her eyes.

What did she want to say?
