The answer got him frowning in perplexity, while surprise and anger shone in his eyes.
âAccording to her... Yun Shishiâs a shameless sl*t who tried to seduce her boyfriend outside the bathroom while at the party that night. The entire production team, including Yun Shishi herself, knows about this. Even though sheâs denying it, she canât produce evidence to suggest her innocence. From what we see... thatâs as good as... an admission of guilt!â
âThatâs a load of bull!â He let out a string of expletives before saying, âThis is an outright lie! Shishi isnât that sort of woman!â
Standing next to him, the costume designer anxiously asked, âHua Jin, do you really like her? Donât be deceived by her appearance! Everyone is saying that the reason she managed to get her hands on so many golden resources is her resorting to the hidden rules. A loose woman like her isnât worthy of you! You deserve better!â
âWhat are you driving at?!â He turned his glowing red eyes on her. He was relatively calm despite his anger.
âThere are rumors about you liking Shishi, you two having intimate relations, and you both being in an underground relationship... Do you truly know her well? Ji Yan would never lie! Some people might appear pure and innocent on the surface, but who knows what really lies beneath?â
âJi Yan...â He muttered this name through gritted teeth, then he shot the two women a fierce look. âIâm warning you: Shishi is someone very important to me. Whoever dares talk behind her back and spread false rumors about her must be prepared to face my wrath!â
He then turned around and stormed away in a hurry.
...
Meanwhile, Ji Yan was in her waiting room, touching up her makeup, when she heard storming footsteps from outside. She turned her head to the door, only to see it burst open with a bang the next second. The idol broke the door with just one kick!
âJi Yan, youâd better come out here right now!â
Startled, she jumped off her seat and met his gaze with bewilderment.
âHua Jin?â
Upon noticing the anger written all over his face, she took a gander at the broken wooden door. It had crack lines all across its surface. It was unimaginable how his slender body could possess such great strength!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat are you doing?â
The woman looked at the idol warily. Somehow, she could sense the storm brewing in his bloodshot eyes.
âI heard that youâd been talking trash about Shishi to the production crew!â he spat expressionlessly. âDid you spread rumors about her being a third party?â
Surprise flashed across her face for a moment before she curled her lips into a smirk. âRumors? Arenât those pure facts?â
âMy *ss!â the man cursed. âGao Nan is a scumbag who doesnât deserve her! Even if she has poor taste in men, sheâll never fall for someone like that!â
âOh?â She kept the smile on her face as she threw out questions. âHow do you know for sure? You seem to be very concerned about her affairs and feelings. Do you perhaps like her?â
Feeling utterly speechless, he took several moments to recollect himself and then told her, âWeâre not in that sort of relationship you imagine us to be! Sheâs my kin.â
âKin?â She lifted a brow in amusement.
âSheâs the most important person to me, so I wonât allow anyone to insult her!â
âHah! Thatâs interesting.â
