Wang Qian slapped his forehead and shook his head in disappointment.
“As the daughter of the Liu family, and someone I was once classmates with, I thought you would at least have basic manners. I only dared to invite you here knowing that your sister Rou had a grudge against you.”
"I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of basic hospitality. You came to Sister Rou's house like a shrew, making a scene and saying such uncultured things."
"Liu Yanran, now that things have come to this, I have to admit that I was wrong!"
"In college, I was not only blind, but I also overestimated your upbringing!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yanran was so angry she felt like she was about to burst into flames.
"Wang Qian, you..."
Just as she was about to explode, Wang Qian suddenly pointed towards the door, "The main gate is over there. Goodbye!"
His voice was somewhat loud, and coupled with Wang Qian's serious and cold expression, he instantly suppressed Liu Yanran's anger that was about to erupt.
After all, she was in someone else's home, and she felt a little guilty.
So no matter how strong her anger was, she didn't dare to vent it recklessly.
Especially after Wang Qian also gave the order to leave, for some reason, her anger, which had reached its peak, deflated like a punctured balloon, instantly turning into endless grievances and sorrow.
After her initial outburst of anger subsided, she realized that she had made a fatal mistake.
I shouldn't have lost my composure like that in front of Wang Qian!
She could use all sorts of despicable means to suppress Wang Qian and make him hate her to the core, but she had to appear noble and sophisticated.
She could also give everything for Wang Qian, move him, and make him unable to extricate himself from her, but she must appear aloof.
The one thing I must not let Wang Qian despise me!
Once Wang Qian starts to despise her, she will appear cheap, naive, ignorant, and tasteless.
Once a woman falls into mediocrity, she loses her only remaining attraction.
No matter how wealthy her family is, how highly educated she is, or what she has done in the past, in Wang Qian's mind, she will all become unbearably vulgar.
[Slap slap slap]
Suddenly, a round of applause broke out.
Amidst the astonished gazes of Wang Qian and the others, Wan Qianmo suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Miss Liu's acting skills are becoming more and more exquisite. Even just improvisational performances are so masterful. If you were to enter the entertainment industry in the future, the Best Actress award would definitely be yours."
Liu Yanran was initially confused, but then the shame and indignation on her face disappeared, and she smiled and said, "Please forgive me. I'm preparing to enter the entertainment industry recently, and I often do impromptu performances. I got a little carried away just now. If I said anything that offended you or was abrupt, please forgive me."
For the first time, she was completely impressed by the newly hired secretary, Wan Qianmo.
Even though things have escalated to this point, they still managed to salvage the situation with a single sentence.
It has to be said, this secretary is really quick-witted.
Otherwise, given the situation just now, she and Wang Qian would probably have to say goodbye for good.
Seeing that Wang Qian, Gao Churou, and Qiu Minxia still looked gloomy, she tidied her disheveled long hair, walked up to Qiu Minxia whose face was ashen, and repeatedly apologized.
"Ms. Qiu, that was just a performance. Please forgive me if I made any mistakes."
"Actually, I had already anticipated this scene before coming here, but I didn't tell you in advance in order to make the performance more realistic."
“I swear, I meant no offense whatsoever.”
“If Ms. Qiu still refuses to forgive me, my face is right here, you can slap me anytime, and I will not utter a single complaint, nor will I retaliate.”
As she spoke, she brought her face close to Qiu Minxia's, as if she were ready to be slapped.
She went to such lengths to undo the negative impact of her impulsive actions.
If she could salvage her image in Wang Qian's films, she would accept it even if she were slapped several times by that old woman Qiu Minxia.
Qiu Minxia, standing in front of her, remained deathly pale.
Judging from his expression, he probably doesn't believe what she and Wan Qianmo said.
Under her uneasy gaze, Qiu Minxia actually stretched out a chubby, short hand, ready to hit her face.
Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles!
Liu Yanran did not avoid it, but closed her eyes, preparing to accept this unprecedented humiliation.
"Sister Xia!"
As she closed her eyes, Wang Qian's voice came from beside her, "Please show mercy."
"What? You want to plead for Liu Yanran?" Qiu Minxia's tone was full of indignation.
"Sister Xia may have really misunderstood!"
Wang Qian explained with a smile: "Miss Liu recently took on the lead role in a drama called 'The Legend of the Seventh Prince,' which has many scenes like this. She has been working hard to improve her acting skills in order to play this role well in this period drama."
"But you can't use me as a target of ridicule, can you?"
Qiu Minxia was still indignant. "What she said just now was simply too much."
"Sister Xia, you may not know this..."
Wang Qian lied and said, "I've read the script for 'The Seventh Prince'. There's a scene in it that's similar to what we're doing now. Miss Liu probably wants to try it out in real life and see how far she can go."
He paused, then added, "Miss Liu and I were classmates in college. I know her character. No matter how ill-mannered she is, she wouldn't say such vicious things."
At this point, Wang Qian subtly winked at Liu Yanran.
Liu Yanran quickly chimed in, "Ms. Qiu, I sincerely apologize for my offense just now. Whatever compensation you want, as long as it's within my power, I will definitely not say 'no'."
Seeing that Qiu Minxia still had a gloomy expression, she hurriedly moved forward, suppressing the urge to vomit, and sat down next to Qiu Minxia. She leaned on Qiu Minxia's shoulder affectionately and said in a coquettish tone, "Sister Xia, I really know I was wrong. If you are really angry, you can hit me however you want. I just hope you can calm down, okay?"
Seeing Liu Yanran's sincere attitude, Qiu Minxia's gloomy expression finally eased a bit.
With Gao Churou constantly casting suggestive glances, she finally suppressed her anger and said, "Fine, since you're just putting on an impromptu performance, I'll play along, but this is a one-time exception."
"Definitely, definitely!"
Liu Yanran dared not say "no" again and shook her head repeatedly to indicate that she would not.
To make up for her mistake, she even took the initiative to suggest, "Sister Xia, actually, when I first saw you, I felt very close to you, just like my own sister. If you don't mind, let's become sisters."
Upon hearing this, Wan Qianmo's lips twitched.
Impulsiveness is the devil!
Is it necessary to lower myself to this extent just to make up for my impulsiveness?
