But the diners in the restaurant didn't care and started gossiping, "Isn't that Li Rumeng, a well-known actress in the entertainment industry? I never thought she would be such a vicious person."
"But why would she do that? Why would she want to ruin someone's reputation for no reason? What's in it for?"
"Isn't it just jealousy that she's prettier and has a better figure than her? How malicious! Spreading rumors without any evidence. If this girl is introverted, she'll suffer in silence and be branded as promiscuous and shameless, a reputation she can never shake off."
"What pure and innocent girl? I think she's filthy."
"Maybe she's having an affair with this Duan Shao, otherwise why would Duan Shao stand up for her for no reason! This is the kind of person you call a 'white lotus bitch'."
"Take a picture of her and post it online so that everyone can see her true colors."
In an instant, all the mobile phone cameras were pointed at Li Rumeng!
Her face was deathly pale, and she looked terrified: "No...it has nothing to do with me, don't take pictures, don't take pictures—"
But no one paid any attention to her anymore.
Now that the culprit had been caught, Yi Tianran finally had a change of heart, released her high heels from Duan Hao's back, and kicked him over.
"Hiss—" Duan Hao's body trembled violently. With the help of Director Qian and others, he struggled to his feet, turned around and slapped Li Rumeng across the face, gritting his teeth and saying, "You slut, how dare you use you? I will never let you get away with this."
That slap was delivered with considerable force.
Li Rumeng's face immediately swelled up, and her eyes reddened with humiliation.
Duan Hao didn't even glance at her again. Instead, he turned and glared fiercely at Yi Tianran. "And you! How dare you treat me like this! You just wait, I'll definitely kill you!"
He felt no remorse for doing anything wrong. On the contrary, he felt that Yi Tianran was ungrateful for daring to hurt him like this, and that she should not be forgiven easily.
The next second, a chilling, piercing voice rang out, "Who do you want to kill?"
Fu Yunchen walked slowly to Yi Tianran's side with his long legs. Only after confirming that she was not injured at all did his furrowed brows relax.
"Have you finished dealing with your business?" Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow at him, speaking as if no one else was around.
"Um."
During this period of time, Fu Yunchen had been busy with official business because he had been accompanying Yi Tianran in Z City. He had just received a call about an emergency and had to leave for a while.
But this is what happened.
Everyone was stunned by the man's powerful aura, and Li Rumeng was pale as a ghost, trembling like a leaf.
She thought that Fu Yunchen had left before she dared to cause trouble, so why would she return?
She forced herself to calm down. It was okay; Brother Fu wouldn't take his anger out on her over such a small matter.
As it turned out, someone was truly fearless, saying, "Who do you think you are! You dare to challenge me, young master?"
Duan Hao was used to being arrogant and thought there was no one in the world he couldn't mess with, so he said arrogantly, "A pretty boy like you dares to play the hero and save the beauty here! Bah! If you know what's good for you, get lost."
Yi Tianran pursed her lips, forcing a smile.
Director Qian was so frightened that he was trembling and about to faint.
He quietly tugged at Duan Hao's sleeve, revealing an expression more painful than tears, "Young Master Duan, don't say anymore, he... he's President Fu!"
Unfortunately, idiots can't understand human language. "What President Fu or President Li? Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I wouldn't be afraid!"
Anyway, even if the sky falls, the Duan family will support him!
Then... the next second, the phone suddenly rang.
Duan Hao's right eyelid twitched. Seeing the caller ID as his elder brother, he immediately answered. Before he could even complain, his elder brother coldly said, "From today onwards, you are expelled from the Duan family's main branch. All your cards are suspended. You'd better watch yourself from now on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.
Duan Hao was dumbfounded, thinking it was some kind of prank, but then his phone started beeping with text message notifications—
Dear VIP customer, your card number ending in xx, xxx, or xxxx has been officially frozen.
Duan Hao's face turned pale, unable to withstand the enormous blow, and he fainted on the spot.
The scene was chaotic.
Yi Tianran glanced at Fu Yunchen with a playful expression and teased, "President Fu, you're furious for a beauty!"
This is so pretentious, I give it full marks.
“No one can bully you.” Fu Yunchen looked down at her, his expression focused and serious: “Not even me.”
Yi Tianran felt a slight tremor in her heart, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Li Rumeng saw this and was filled with jealousy. For a moment, she forgot her unease and took small steps over, softly calling out, "Brother Fu..."
In an instant, the deep affection in Fu Yunchen's eyes vanished, and his gaze towards her was as if coated with a layer of ice, chilling her to the bone.
"I gave you a chance, but you brought this on yourself." With these cold and ruthless words, he took Yi Tianran's hand and left the restaurant.
Li Rumeng was left standing there, stunned.
What does that mean?
A sudden, unprecedented panic gripped her. She practically fled back to her hotel. Just as she closed the door, she received a chilling text message: "Effective immediately, all of Ms. Li Rumeng's endorsements and scripts are revoked. Tianyu Media will be responsible for all breach of contract penalties."
Her pupils contracted sharply, and her phone fell to the ground with a "thud," its screen shattering into pieces.
"No, no way!" Li Rumeng couldn't believe that Fu Yunchen would be so cold and heartless towards her. She subconsciously ran to the next room to ask her agent for help.
Before they could even knock on the door, they saw Lu Xuanyi come out with her luggage, looking like she was about to leave.
"Sister Xuanyi?" Li Rumeng paused for two seconds, not bothering to question her actions, and asked helplessly, "Did you receive a notice from the company? What's with withdrawing my endorsement and script? Isn't this just putting me on hold?"
"Since you already know, why are you asking me?" Lu Xuanyi looked impatient, as if she found it annoying to spend even a second longer with her.
Li Rumeng finally realized something was wrong. "Why? Shouldn't you help me? You're my manager! After something like this happened, shouldn't you try to salvage the situation for me? Do you just want to leave like this?"
"So what if it is?" Since she had already achieved her goal, Lu Xuanyi didn't care about falling out with her. "If you weren't so useless, unable to act well, with box office flops and not even having a single representative work, why would the company have given up on you? In the end, I'm just being dragged down by you. I'm a top agent, and I used to manage actors and actresses of the highest caliber. None of them were as good as you, understand?"
Li Rumeng frowned, as if she didn't recognize her anymore.
Is this still the kind and gentle older sister she remembers, who helped her through difficult times, comforted her, and encouraged her to pursue Brother Fu?
etc!
