Yu Wanwan spotted Xia Chuyue watching the scene unfold in the crowd and gave her a lukewarm glance.
Being able to be Xia Chuyue's rival, Yu Wanwan's looks must be stunning enough.
She was a typical beauty from the water towns of Jiangnan, and like her name, she had a graceful and beautiful appearance.
Her eyebrows were like willow leaves and her lips like vermilion; a myriad of charms and a graceful, dignified beauty were blended together, creating a unique allure.
When she debuted, she played the supporting role to the male lead in a period drama, and she is still the white moonlight in the memories of countless netizens.
Yu Wanwan's current status in the industry can be considered that of a near-top-tier celebrity.
Xia Chuyue had just managed to clear her name a while ago and could barely be considered a fourth or fifth-tier celebrity. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be considered a rival to Yu Wanwan.
But who can blame them when there are only a handful of female celebrities in the industry with peak beauty?
Whenever Yu Wanwan is mentioned, Xia Chuyue is inevitably brought up as well.
Although Xia Chuyue's status isn't quite high, she still ranks among the top in all posts about her looks.
Whether they are fans or not, it seems that everyone has already decided that the two of them will definitely be fierce competitors in the ranking of female celebrities in terms of appearance!
In addition, their teams had previously engaged in mutual sabotage over a certain role, so calling them rivals wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Seeing that the other side had some melons, Xia Chuyue smiled slightly and started eating them without any hesitation.
What's the latest gossip about Yu Wanwan? I heard she comes from a wealthy family; is she some kind of rich young woman from Jiangnan?
Yu Wanwan hadn't had much contact with Xia Chuyue before, but she still recognized her voice immediately.
Slightly startled, Yu Wanwan frowned and subtly pressed down on her assistant.
“We have plenty of time, let them take their photos first, there’s no need to linger.”
If she were photographed by paparazzi, given her high status, a lot of rumors would circulate about her abusing her power.
With her engagement imminent, there's no need to create further trouble.
When the assistant heard Yu Wanwan say that, she could only swallow her anger and let another female celebrity take the picture first.
The female celebrity gave a triumphant snort, like a victorious rooster, and swayed her slender waist as she walked to the front of the curtain.
Although the argument between the two had ended, the celebrities who had just heard Xia Chuyue's thoughts all pretended to look around and refused to leave.
Why are we leaving?!
Didn't you hear the big melon coming from behind?
The next second, Xia Chuyue's inner voice continued to ring out.
[So it was just a persona! Yu Wanwan is from an ordinary family. When she debuted, her company deliberately created a rich woman persona for her because of her good looks.]
[It seems like there are a lot of people in the entertainment industry lately portraying themselves as rich kids?]
Yu Wanwan was pulled into a mysterious group chat by a friend in the industry with whom she had a good relationship. She glanced at the group announcements, frowned slightly, and then smiled indifferently.
She wasn't worried at all about Xia Chuyue digging up any gossip about her.
Although the wealthy woman persona she created is unrealistic, there are many fake personas in the industry, so this is not a major stain.
Yu Wanwan believes that she has always acted with a clear conscience!
Xia Chuyue flipped through the pages, her expression clearly showing some disinterest.
[I saw a gossip story before that revealed several female celebrities had sugar daddies and were even willing to sacrifice their looks to become mistresses of powerful men in order to climb the social ladder. A certain marketing account even claimed to have seen Yu Wanwan among them. Of course, none of that is believable!]
Although they are rivals, Yu Wanwan is actually a decent person.
A certain third-rate actress, who had just been vying with Yu Wanwan for a filming location, felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this gossip.
That's right, the gossip and rumors that smeared Yu Wanwan were spread by someone she hired!
Just as she was feeling flustered, Xia Chuyue called her name.
[So it was Xiaoqi who leaked the information! She really does try to outdo Yu Wanwan in everything!]
Yu Wanwan had previously hired online trolls to pull strings to clear her name after a lot of effort because of this scandal.
Unexpectedly, it was this person in front of me who did it!
Now, as they looked at each other, invisible sparks flew between them.
Xia Chuyue was still watching the commotion from the sidelines, exclaiming "Wow!" several times.
[They even said Yu Wanwan and I are rivals! Those shady marketing accounts should see this! This is what rivals really look like! The way they look at each other is filled with murderous intent!]
If this gets photographed, those marketing accounts will be writing tens of thousands of words of scheming and backstabbing!
Upon hearing each other's thoughts, the two reluctantly averted their gazes and fell silent, fearing further entanglement with each other.
Yu Wanwan and Xiao Qi used to be quite close. When Yu Wanwan first entered the entertainment industry, it was Xiao Qi who mentored her and told her many inside stories that Yu Wanwan didn't know.
Yu Wanwan was very grateful to Xiao Qi. Later, the period drama that Yu Wanwan filmed became a huge hit, and she benefited from the role, instantly rising to become a popular young actress.
[Xiao Qi, who entered the industry earlier than her, clearly played more significant roles, but was overlooked by the audience because of her unremarkable appearance.]
People are most afraid of comparing themselves to others.
Jealousy gradually drove Xiaoqi to lose her rationality, and she came to hate Yu Wanwan!
[Xiaoqi is really ruthless! Knowing that Yu Wanwan is new to the industry and not yet familiar with many of the shady dealings, and that she relies heavily on her as a senior, she deliberately took her to a banquet.]
Before coming, she told Yu Wanwan that the banquet was very clean, but in reality, Xiaoqi had secretly contacted a wealthy patron who was known for his philandering and drugged Yu Wanwan!
[Yu Wanwan was still very naive at the time, and she believed Xiaoqi's words without thinking. By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.]
She maintained her remaining sanity and held out in the bathroom until her agent arrived, preventing the sugar daddy from succeeding.
