âWhat happened to you?â White Lemon waved her hand in front of Ming Shu. âYou seem distracted.â
âIâm fine.â
White Lemon said, âI wanted to ask you about what happened yesterday. Did you beat Lin Yuxin?â
Ming Shu smiled. âThe police cleared it up. You still donât believe me?â
White Lemon: â...â
She just felt that something was amiss.
âWei Ran... long time no see. Youâve gotten prettier.â
âIâm just slightly prettier than you.
â...â
People started greeting Ming Shu so Ming Shu had no choice but to smile and greet them too. She would say sarcastic remarks when they were least expecting it and managed to scare off quite a few people. After that, no one came to greet her anymore.
âAre you in a bad mood or what?â White Lemon looked worried.
She watched as Ming Shu offended all the authors at the scene.
âIâm very happy.â Ming Shu smiled.
Her little demon confessed to her and she managed to gain some Hatred Points. What could be better?
âItâs Lin Yuxin.â White Lemon suddenly lowered her voice.
Ming Shu looked over.
Lin Yuxin and a man walked out of the elevator together. Lin Yuxin seemed to be in a bad mood. She got beaten up by Ming Shu yesterday and was framed for making a fake report. Anyone would be in a bad mood.
The man was Ri Mu Chang Jiang.
He looked...
Quite handsome.
It was hard to find handsome or pretty people among authors.
However, if it was someone besides the protagonist, he or she must be good-looking.
Even a villain has to be good-lookingâlike me!
[Guest, please focus on gaining Hatred Points. Stop being narcissistic.]
Ming Shu rolled her eyes secretly.
Ri Mu Chang Jiang was talking to Lin Yuxin in a low voice. He must be consoling her.
Ri Mu Chang Jiang saw Ming Shu first. âWei Ran.â
Lin Yuxin looked up in shock. The next moment, she grabbed Ri Mu Chang Jiang who made to walk toward Ming Shu. Her face turned pale. She didnât want him to go over.
Ri Mu Chang Jiang patted her hand. âItâs fine. Wait for me here.â
Ri Mu Chang Jiang walked toward Ming Shu after he finished speaking to Lin Yuxin. âWei Ran, how did Yuxin provoke you? Why must you target her?â
Ming Shu smiled before replying, âYou mean she doesnât know how she offended me?â
The lights from the chandelier fell into her eyes. Her eyes seemed to be shining like stars.
âDo you have to speak so unpleasantly?â
Ming Shu was speechless. âWhat did I say? Big brother, are you hallucinating? I suggest that you visit the specialist at the city hospital.â
Ri Mu Chang Jiang frowned. âWei Ran, donât think that just because you are popular, you can do what you like. You are not the most famous person in this industry.â
Ming Shu humbly replied, âYes. So what?â
I donât need to be the most popular.
I just need to be invincible.
Ri Mu Chang Jiang: â...â
âDonât provoke people that you shouldnât.â
Ming Shu smiled. âWhy donât you tell me who I shouldnât provoke?â
Ri Mu Chang Jiang felt uncomfortable as he looked at the smile on Ming Shuâs face. What is she smiling at? What is so funny?
Ming Shu continued seriously, âI will definitely provoke them properly.â
Puâ
Ri Mu Chang Jiang almost spat blood. Is she crazy?
âWei Ran, you will regret it!â
Ming Shu placed her hand on her chin. âIâm anticipating it.â
â...â What are you anticipating?
Someone said that she was crazy. Was she really crazy?
Ri Mu Chang Jiang thought about this and didnât want to continue talking to Ming Shu anymore. What if she was really a lunatic?
âWei Ran.â A calm voice sounded.
Ahâ
Gasps of surprise came from all over the room.
Chu Han was dressed formally. He was in a suit and his hair was properly combed. He looked even more handsome than the last time she saw him.
This person looked so different from Chu Hui...
Chu Hui looked like an obedient little boy.
Of course, he just looked obedient. He was not obedient at all.
âIce Lake Snow...â
âItâs really Ice Lake Snow.â
âHe actually came. Oh my god.â
Ri Mu Chang Jiang saw Chu Han coming over and took a step back.
âWei Ran, I have something to ask you.â
âSure.â You are the little demonâs brother. I will show you some face and not tease you.
Chu Han looked at Ri Mu Chang Jiang.
Ri Mu Chang Jiang wanted to greet him but Chu Han wanted him to leave.
Hence, Ri Mu Chang Jiang retreated to Lin Yuxinâs side. He looked at Ming Shu threateningly and left with Lin Yuxin.
Lin Yuxin turned back to look at Ming Shu and Chu Han.
How did the man know her?
...
Chu Han looked at White Lemon. White Lemon turned around to show that she was not listening. Do what you want.
Chu Han continued, âIs Little Hui at your place?â
âYes.â
Ming Shu acknowledged it directly.
Chu Hanâs expression changed. He seemed relieved and nervous at the same time. âDid he cause any trouble for you?â
âStill okay.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chu Hui probed, âLittle Hui and you...â
âHe said that he likes me.â Ming Shu smiled.
Chu Han was shocked. âLittle Hui said that?â
âYes.â
Chu Han frowned. He said slowly, âWei Ran, if you can, I hope that you will reject Little Hui.â
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. âWhy?â
Chu Han kept silent for a while before replying. âWe have the same father but different mothers so our relationship is a little complicated. He always likes to steal things that I like... Wei Ran, I like you. I donât know how he found out about this but he doesnât like you. He just wants to take you away from me.â
Ming Shu: â...â
The Hostâs idol suddenly confessed to her. This was frightening.
Where are my snacks!
Chu Han didnât appear uncomfortable after he finished his statement. He must have meant a different kind of like.
Chu Han said to her seriously, âHence, I hope that you can reject Little Hui. I donât want either of you to get hurt.â
Ming Shu thought for a moment. âI will protect him.â
Chu Han froze on the spot.
Ming Shu smiled.
After a while, Chu Han sighed. âSince you said this, it meant that I thought too much. Little Hui is not as obedient as he looks. He causes a lot of trouble... please bear with him.â
Chu Han wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. He left.
After Chu Han left, White Lemon immediately started gossiping with Ming Shu. âWei Ran, what is your relationship with Ice Lake Snow?â
âNothing.â
âNothing?â
White Lemon didnât believe her.
âWhat did he say to you?â
âNothing.â
â...â
White Lemon couldnât get anything out of Ming Shu so she changed the topic. âI heard that Ri Mu Chang Jiang has some connections. Why did you offend him...â
âHe came to find me.â
I canât reject Hatred Points that came to find me themselves.
Ming Shu took out a sweet and consoled her editor as she peeled the wrapper off the sweet. âDonât worry, I will offend more people in the future. This is nothing.â
White Lemon: â...â
She was not comforted at all. She was even more frightened now.
...
At night, it was the awards ceremony. There was a red carpet too so everyone arrived early at the venue and went to the dressing room to do their makeup.
Ming Shu was dragged into the room by White Lemon.
Ming Shu didnât bring a gown along so White Lemon gritted her teeth and gave her gown to Ming Shu. Their body shapes were similar.
The gown had strings on it so Ming Shu could put it on.
âYou are going on stage later. Even if you donât walk the red carpet, you canât go up on stage wrapped up like a ball, right?â White Lemon passed her gown to her and coaxed her. âI did it all for you!â
Ming Shu: â...â
Ming Shu sat at one side and waited for her makeup artist.
The other authors were all a distance away from her. No one wanted to get teased by her.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Ming Shu took out her cellphone and looked at the messaging app. She stood up quietly and walked to a corner.
