Sure enough, when Vera left Director Mong’s house, Ling Fei’s company car was still parked nearby, as if they had been waiting for her.
As soon as they saw Vera walking out of Director Mong’s house, Ling Fei’s assistant made a strangling gesture at Vera before they drove off.
“Trash!”
When Vera heard that word, she turned around only to realise that the voice was coming from Xiao Chennan’s car and it was Xiao Chennan’s agent who had just spoken.
The other party saw the confused expression on Vera’s face and she quickly explained herself. “Sorry, I was not referring to you. I meant that Ling Fei’s team are all trash! They are all bullies. Horrible bullies!”
“It’s okay. It seems as though we have a common enemy now.”
“Are you Jiang Yuning’s agent? I watched her recent variety show and it’s really pretty good. Let’s catch up and talk when we have the chance to but for now, make sure to pay attention to both Yuning’s safety and your own. It looks like Ling Fei’s team has already set their eyes on you.”
“Thank you. Don’t worry, I will be careful.” Vera bade farewell to the other party before she drove to Guangying Media’s office immediately. It seemed that at this point, no matter how Director Mong’s attitude was, it was now imperative for them to open up the eyes of the young master Bai.
At this time, the study room that was full of calligraphy and painting by Director Mong was filled with the refreshing smell of the fragrant tea. Director Mong was instantly in a much better mood because of this.
“Try it.”
Xiao Chennan looked at the tea cup that Director Mong was handing over to him before he received it from him in a respectful manner. When Director Mong saw the way that Xiao Chennan was holding the tea cup in one hand while supporting the bottom of the tea cup with his other hand, he instantly knew that Xiao Chennan was also a tea expert.
“Good tea.”
“Yuning prepared and sent the tea leaves over earlier. Now that we are mentioning it, I find it really strange for Yuning not to be acting like other girls her age. She is not interested in chocolates or cakes but instead, she has the patience, skills, and talent to prepare her own tea leaves.”
Xiao Chennan smiled indifferently at Director Mong’s remark. Although the tea that he was holding in his hand was indeed of the highest grade, all that he had noticed and could think about now was the sly smile that Vera had on her face when she looked at Director Mong’s assistant earlier. Although Vera had very thick makeup on, Xiao Chennan felt that Vera looked more pleasant in comparison to Ling Fei and he felt much more comfortable when he was looking at her face.
Xiao Chennan spent about half an hour at Director Mong’s house. When he finally returned to the company car, his agent quickly asked him, “Brother Nan, is Ling Fei trying to get the role of the first female lead because of you? I just saw Ling Fei and her team threatening Jiang Yuning’s agent when she was leaving Director Mong’s house earlier. Alas, I hope that nothing is happening to them now.”
“Go back and prepare sixty million yuan for me. I want to invest in Nameless Orphan. Also, don’t ever mention Ling Fei’s name in front of me again. I am so sick of it!”
…
After being humiliated by Director Mong, Ling Fei went over to Bai Tingzhang’s private villa immediately.
This was the first time she had been humiliated so intensely after being an artiste in the entertainment industry for so long. It was already bad enough that she was unable to rob the role from Jiang Yuning, but she had never expected Director Mong to call her up to his doorsteps just so that he could point his finger at her and lecture her about her attitude. Moreover, Director Mong had even said that it was going to be absolutely impossible for Ling Fei to star in any big drama productions in future.
“Young master Bai, our Xiao Fei has really suffered injustice this time. The director has really wronged her and he even lectured her in front of everyone. He scolded us and told Xiao Fei that she has no skills in acting at all. Director Mong even threatened Xiao Fei that she would never be able to star in any big drama productions in future.”
Ling Fei’s agent intentionally magnified the matter in front of Bai Tingzhang. “You must really obtain justice for Xiao Fei on this matter. Moreover, the production team of Desert Island Rescue also used Ling Fei as a stepping stone in their previous recording just so they can portray Jiang Yuning as the intelligent and witty survivor in the race. Xiao Fei has suffered so much and she was trampled on throughout the recording. Our Xiao Fei has never felt any more humiliated than this.”
Bai Tingzhang was leaning back against his European-style leather couch and after listening to the complaints made by Ling Fei’s agent, he straightened his back before he asked, “Is this Jiang Yuning the same girl who was my junior high school classmate?”
“Yes, young master,” the butler standing behind Bai Tingzhang replied immediately.
“Didn’t the Jiang family go bankrupt many years ago? Why would she have the courage to bully you and stand against me?” Bai Tingzhang asked as he clasped his hands together before he gave out more instructions. “Butler, go and find out more information of my old classmates, especially those who are currently still residing in Luo City. Invite all of them to attend a reunion gathering for all our former classmates. I will meet up and deal with Jiang Yuning at the reunion.”
“Alright, young master.” The butler nodded his head respectfully.
“As for Director Mong, Xiao Fei…haven’t you given up yet?” Bai Tingzhang asked as he looked at Ling Fei.
Ling Fei was stunned and speechless because she knew exactly what Bai Tingzhang was referring to.
“Young master Bai, Xiao Fei was just wronged and humiliated by Director Mong…”
“I didn’t ask you the question,” Bai Tingzhang replied as he glanced at Ling Fei’s agent with a cold expression on his face.
“Ling Fei, it has already been so many years. I have already done everything that I can for you. If you are still coming to me just to seek comfort every time Xiao Chennan pushes you away, don’t you think that you are being too cruel and unfair to me?”
Ling Fei was sitting down on the sofa with a tensed expression on her face and she thought for a short while before she finally turned around to look at Bai Tingzhang and said, “I have really learnt my lesson this time. I will stop fantasizing about being together from him from this day onwards. Trust me. Moreover, Tingzhang, I promise to be your girlfriend.”
“Do you mean it?” Bai Tingzhang asked in disbelief.
“Yes, I mean it,” Ling Fei replied as she nodded her head.
After listening to her words, Bai Tingzhang pulled Ling Fei closer to him as he hugged her. “If that is the case, then I will definitely teach Jiang Yuning a lesson on behalf of my girlfriend. I will host a banquet at Dynasty Hotel at seven o’clock at night the day after tomorrow. Please make sure that Jiang Yuning is present then.”
…
Therefore, on the very next day, someone suddenly delivered an invitation card to the reception desk of Guangying Media. This was because the Bai Tingzhang did not know Jiang Yuning’s current address.
The receptionist then personally delivered the invitation card to Shen Yichen.
Shen Yichen was puzzled.
After thinking for a short while, Shen Yichen called Vera up to his office because he could not think of a reason the Bai family would invite Jiang Yuning to a banquet. “The Bai family sent this invitation card to Yuning. Have a look at it.”
Vera picked up the invitation card and smiled immediately. “It seems as though the gold sponsor cannot wait any longer to take revenge for his beloved goddess. Director Shen, do you know anything about the Bai family?”
“Yes, I do. Why?”
“The young master of the Bai family is always trying to humiliate Yuning nowadays.” Vera could not help but sneer after looking at the invitation card. “This sort of person is really asking to start a war. It seems as though he can’t stop himself at all.”
“That would be perfect.” He was the one who wanted to make a big deal out of it.
Vera took the invitation card away with her, and she was in an extremely happy and excited mood. This time, she could finally use this as an opportunity to create a good impression in front of the second young master Lu. She was giving the second young master Lu the perfect opportunity to protect his wife.
Therefore, later that evening, Vera was so excited that she headed over to the Royal Dragon Villa immediately.
Instead of rushing into the villa after arriving at the gate, Vera waited in her car until she saw the second young master Lu’s car entering the iron gates.
After Lu Jingzhi stepped out of the black car, Vera hurried over to greet him immediately. “Second young master Lu.”
“What’s the matter?” Lu Jingzhi asked as he looked at Vera.
“This…” Vera said as she passed the invitation card over to Lu Jingzhi as she briefly explained everything that had happened over the past few days to Lu Jingzhi. “In a nutshell, the young master of the Bai family intends to use this reunion dinner as a cover up to teach Yuning a lesson.”
Lu Jingzhi glanced briefly at the invitation card before he returned it to Vera. “I got it.”
Vera was speechless.
Was that all he was going to say?
After that, Secretary Ho came up and spoke to Vera.
“The principal has already said that he got it. That means that he is going to deal with it. You can go back and rest now.”
“But…I haven’t even told Yuning about this matter…” Vera replied. Initially, she had thought that as long as she delivered the news to Lu Jingzhi immediately, she would be able to gain some favor with him and that he would probably not look at her with such cold eyes in future. However, didn’t she do Yuning a favor by getting her into the variety program, Desert Island Rescue?
Moreover, she also felt very distressed every time Yuning injured herself.
