Crazy, crazy
Zhang Jingyao was wearing high heels, and her legs and feet were numb after squatting for so long, but she was too embarrassed to stand up. She looked up at Jiang Xiao's face and asked tentatively, "Xiao Xiao, what did I do wrong? Why did you suddenly ask for my phone that day?"
Jiang Xiao straightened the hair around her ears in front of the mirror and said vaguely, "Don't you know?"
"That's why I asked because I don't know."
"Your phone password is ******, right?"
"How do you know?" Zhang Jingyao was surprised, and then she remembered that once when she was drunk, Jiang Xiao used her mobile phone to help her call a designated driver.
Jiang Xiao stared at her and said, "Now do you know why I want your phone?"
Zhang Jingyao recalled all the shameful things in her phone. She had the habit of deleting chat history, and apart from the video taken that night, there didn't seem to be any other evidence.
While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he pursed his lips and pretended to be calm: "I took that video to threaten Lin Qianyu. I wanted to help you, Xiaoxiao. What's wrong with that? Besides, Xiaoxiao, how can you just look through other people's phones?"
Hearing this put-the-blame-on-his-own argument, Jiang Xiao sneered.
She did not have the habit of prying into other people's privacy. Even if she knew the password, she did not open Zhang Jingyao's mobile phone. The reason she said that was just to keep in mind the relationship and force Zhang Jingyao to confess, but the other party was even more stubborn than she thought.
She would not look through the phone, nor did she plan to return it to Zhang Jingyao. No matter how much content was in it that was unfavorable to her, she did not plan to pursue it, because from today on, her relationship with Zhang Jingyao had come to an end.
"Okay, I'll assume that you filmed the video for my own good." Jiang Xiao's eyes were gloomy, and she seemed to be smiling: "Then when you pushed me from behind, was that also for my own good?"
"What?" Zhang Jingyao was shocked.
"Don't you understand? Then after watching this video, will you remember something?"
Jiang Xiao opened her mobile phone and found the surveillance video Liang Cheng sent her in the folder. After clicking play, she presented the evidence to Zhang Jingyao.
The picture was taken at a remote staircase at the banquet that day. Although the picture quality was slightly blurry after post-processing and enlargement, the protagonists could still be clearly identified as Jiang Xiao, Lin Qianyu and Zhang Jingyao based on their dresses.
"No, it's not me. I didn't." Zhang Jingyao hurriedly denied it before the video was over.
"The evidence is all here, why don't you admit it?" It was because of Zhang Jingyao's palm from behind that Jiang Xiao lost his balance and almost pushed Lin Qianyu down the stairs, causing a big mistake and repeating the story line in the book.
"It really wasn't me, Xiaoxiao, how could I push you?"
"Really? That's so strange. You were the only one standing behind me at that time. Who could it be?"
Jiang Xiao raised her eyebrows and hissed softly. Her hesitant expression seemed like she had trusted Zhang Jingyao's words. However, the next second, she blurted out words that seemed to be well-intentioned but were actually threatening: "Do you want me to help call the police? I can't wrongly accuse you."
When Zhang Jingyao heard that Jiang Xiao was going to call the police, she couldn't pretend anymore. She lost her balance and accidentally knelt on the ground. But she didn't bother to stand up. She just knelt there and explained incoherently: "Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean to do that. I... I wanted to push that bitch Lin Qianyu."
As if she had found a suitable excuse, Zhang Jingyao continued to defend herself: "Xiaoxiao, I know you hate her. That bitch doesn't even know what kind of person she is. She actually dared to seduce your boyfriend. I did this to vent your anger."
"Enough! Shut up!" Jiang Xiao's face suddenly turned dark.
Zhang Jingyao was so frightened that she stood still.
The sound of "pa--" echoed in the dressing room, stunning Zhang Jingyao and also hurting Jiang Xiao's hand.
"Zhou Wenting is cheap, Lin Qianyu is cheap, and you are cheap too."
After saying that, Jiang Xiao rubbed her red palms, and couldn't help feeling sorry for herself who was being played around.
"Jiang Xiao!" Zhang Jingyao tilted her head, feeling the dull pain on her left cheek, and widened her eyes in disbelief: "How could you hit me?"
Jiang Xiao smiled calmly and asked, "Why can't I hit you?"
Zhang Jingyao couldn't help but raise her voice: "I know you best. What good is there in a falling out between us?"
"It's not good, but it's not bad either." Jiang Xiao didn't care and even found it funny: "Why? You want to take revenge on me?"
Hearing her disdainful tone, Zhang Jingyao's eyes revealed a bit of hatred, and she was very angry: "Jiang Xiao! Don't really think that I don't have any dirt on you!"
Jiang Xiao smiled and replied lightly: "Then tell me, what black material do I have?"
“…” Zhang Jingyao was speechless for a moment.
Although Jiang Xiao has a bad personality, she really doesn't have any black material. Dating and acting like a big shot are just child's play, which are at most gossip and scandal in the circle, and are far from the level of black material.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "Speaking of black material? The fact that you slept with sponsors everywhere counts as black material."
Hearing this, Zhang Jingyao clenched her palms nervously and said in an inaudible voice: "How did you know?"
Jiang Xiao's lips curled up into an interesting smile: "How should I know? What do you think?"
In the entertainment industry, there are no absolute secrets. If Zhang Jingyao dares to do it, she shouldn't be afraid of others knowing.
Jiang Xiao recalled that when she heard this explosive news at a party, she didn't believe it until the other party showed her a number of photos. Then she frowned and asked someone to keep the news secret. The reason why she didn't make it clear in front of Zhang Jingyao was, firstly, for Zhang Jingyao's face, and secondly, as a mere friend, she thought she had no right to interfere in other people's private lives.
But now, they are no longer friends, and can even be considered enemies, so there is no need to hide it. If Zhang Jingyao has the courage to stab her in the back, then she must be prepared to break off relations with her.
When it comes to quarreling, the more you poke at the other person's pain point, the more pleasure you feel.
Zhang Jingyao's eyes flashed with worry. She thought of all the people who had a grudge against her, but what was the use? If Jiang Xiao knew about it, it meant that most people in this circle must have known about it. What would they think of her? What would people say about her?
It's only a matter of time before this gets out. The only one who can help her is...
Zhang Jingyao immediately looked at her only life-saving straw. Only Jiang Xiao could help her. However, how could Jiang Xiao still help her?
Jiang Xiao said slowly, "Speaking of your sponsors, they are all fat and big-eared. How can you eat them? I think you are really hungry."
Zhang Jingyao was irritated by the disgust in her words. She was so ashamed and angry that she shouted out of control: "Jiang Xiao, shut up! Do you think I am willing? Do you think I want to sleep with those old men?"
Jiang Xiao: "You can sleep with whoever you want, it has nothing to do with me. I give you money and resources for free, and I even bring you to the show to get attention. What else are you not satisfied with?"
"I hate your tone of giving alms the most!" Zhang Jingyao thought of the grievances she had suffered over the years, and her eyes were filled with resentment and anger: "You rely on a few stinky dollars to ignore others."
Three years ago, when someone tried his best to curry favor with her for a few bucks, he didn't have this expression on his face. Now that things have come to this, a beneficiary who has received so many benefits is talking about dignity with her?
Haha, what an ungrateful person you are.
A trace of irritation crept up her brows. Jiang Xiao didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, so she raised her lips and said lazily, "Since you hate my charity so much, I will take it all back."
"That's just right. With the money I save, I can buy two more bags of dog food for my Wangcai."
Jiang Xiao said this purely to disgust people, and the effect was as expected and very significant. Zhang Jingyao was completely defeated and was about to pounce on her with her claws waving.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao had anticipated this and dodged it easily.
"Stop! Are you crazy?" Liang Cheng, who had rushed over after hearing the news, pushed open the door and saw this scene. He hurried forward to pull Zhang Jingyao away, and glanced at Jiang Xiao with concern: "Xiaoxiao, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Jiang Xiao shook her head: "I'm fine."
"Am I crazy? She was the first to start!" Liang Cheng was incredibly strong, and Zhang Jingyao couldn't break free at all. She could only stare at Jiang Xiao and roar in a low voice to vent her dissatisfaction.
Liang Cheng glanced at the palm print on Zhang Jingyao's face, and remembered the surveillance video that Jiang Xiao asked her for. She roughly guessed what was going on. "You have to bear the consequences of the trouble you caused. If you don't keep quiet, do you want the entire crew to know about your scandal?"
I don’t know if Liang Cheng’s warning worked, but Zhang Jingyao actually didn’t go crazy. She was quite cooperative when she was taken away by the security guards.
After this episode, it was soon time to shoot Jiang Xiao's scenes.
The assistant director came over specially to walk her through the scene.
Because of Jiang Xiao's previous high-profile behavior, the assistant director vaguely guessed that she and Zhou Wenting were in a relationship, so he specially called Zhou Wenting along.
The three of them sat facing each other on chairs. The assistant director talked while stealing glances at the two of them. Jiang Xiao listened carefully, and changed her usual nonchalant attitude and small movements. Not only did she not lean towards Zhou Wenting, she also sat in the farthest position from him.
On the other hand, Zhou Wenting, who usually ignored Jiang Xiaoai, was absent-minded at this moment, and his eyes kept glancing at the other party.
Could it be that the two of them had a quarrel? Or did they agree to keep their distance to avoid suspicion? The assistant director was confused, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. After explaining the play, he smiled and said, "That's it for now. I believe that with your abilities, there will be no problem."
"Thank you, Director." Jiang Xiao and Zhou Wenting stood up at the same time to see him off.
Filming was about to start, and Jiang Xiao planned to familiarize herself with the script. She was about to leave when someone next to her suddenly stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, Jiang Xiao. I have something to tell you."
Jiang Xiao subconsciously turned her head and saw Zhou Wenting standing there with his hands in his pockets.
He was wearing a basic white shirt and black trousers, which was obviously the simplest outfit, but because of his tall and straight figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist, he easily pulled it off very well, looking noble and youthful.
Jiang Xiao remembers that after the show was broadcast, the response was very enthusiastic. The leading actor played by Zhou Wenting became extremely popular, gaining tens of millions of fans. His popularity directly topped the charts. The same items and peripheral products in the show were sold out instantly, and investors and advertisers all made a lot of money.
As a temporary investor, Jiang Xiao naturally made a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao collected his thoughts. Putting aside other things, his perfect skin is indeed easy to make countless people fall for him. For the sake of money, his tone softened a lot: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
