Chapter 30 Why did she steal my brand ambassadorship?
Xia Mian sat on the dressing stool, looking calmly at the woman in front of her.
The woman had a shapely figure and wore a bodycon dress that accentuated her curves. Her two long, slender legs were straight and fair, and she wore eight-inch high heels.
She wore a trendy, innocent-looking makeup style, which, despite her glamorous temperament, made her face and figure look mismatched and somewhat contradictory when paired with the youthful makeup.
Although Xia Mian doesn't pay much attention to celebrity gossip, she recognized her at a glance as Lu Wanyue, a third- or fourth-tier actress who recently became popular in a web series.
Furthermore, Xia Mian knew that Lu Wanyue was not because of the drama, but because Lu Wanyue was Lu Lian'er's cousin.
In her past life, Lu Lian'er replaced her as the Xia family's daughter and often colluded with her cousin to bully Xia Mian.
Lu Wanyue was ruthless and used the dirty tricks of the entertainment industry to get Lu Lian'er to deal with Xia Mian. Xia Mian was no match for the two sisters at all.
However, Xia Mian is no longer the pitiful, helpless girl she was in her previous life.
She raised an eyebrow, subtly signaling the makeup artist to continue.
"What? You wanted to see me?"
"You actually stole my position as LX brand ambassador! I was about to succeed!" Lu Wanyue was furious.
She's worked so hard, and every time she's seen in a Reuters photo or attending an event, she's wearing clothes from LX.
They worked tirelessly to promote LX's business, but in the end, Xia Mian snatched the opportunity away.
How could she not be angry?
Lu Wanyue ordered Xia Mian, "You must leave LX immediately! I'm filming this special report today!"
Xia Mian glanced at Lu Wanyue and said, "Are you a three-year-old? You think you can just quit like that? Or do you own LX?"
"You think you can make decisions for LX directly? If you could... you wouldn't be going crazy at me."
Xia Mian closed her eyes and began applying eyeliner, cooperating with the makeup artist.
After she finished drawing, she opened her eyes again, her expression indifferent.
Instead of venting your anger on me here, you should improve yourself, look for the reasons within yourself, and see if you are not working hard enough.
"You! You bitch!" Lu Wanyue angrily grabbed the eyeshadow box from the dressing table and threw it at Xia Mian's face.
Xia Mian instinctively tilted her head to avoid it.
The eyeshadow palette landed on the mirror with a thud, and the vanity mirror shattered into several cracks, with more cracks spreading out like a spider web from the center of the cracks.
The makeup artist was startled and stopped what she was doing. She looked at Lu Wanyue with displeasure and said, "Ms. Lu, what's wrong with you? You're affecting our work."
"You're just a nobody makeup artist, how dare you talk to me like that!"
Lu Wanyue rushed to the dressing table like a madwoman, and with a forceful sweep, the cosmetics, brushes, bottles and jars on the dressing table crashed to the ground.
"I'll teach you to steal my ambassadorship!"
"I'll let you put on makeup!"
Xia Mian pulled the makeup artist aside and coldly watched Lu Wanyue go crazy here.
"Cousin?" Lu Lian'er exclaimed, walking over in her high heels to pull Lu Wanyue away. "Don't be sad! Getting angry won't help! She has powerful connections; we ordinary people can't compare to her at all!"
Xia Mian's icy gaze fell on Lu Lian'er, and she instantly understood everything.
It seems that Lu Lian'er played a significant role in Lu Wanyue's outburst at her and disruption of her filming.
Lu Lian'er pretended to pull Lu Wanyue, but actually didn't use much force.
Her words only added fuel to the fire, causing Lu Wanyue, who was already furious, to almost lose her temper.
"Lian'er, you are too kind and weak, that's why you were bullied by this bitch."
Lu Wanyue pushed Lu Lian'er's hand away, "I'm going to teach her a lesson today. She's so arrogant just because she thinks she has some sugar daddy backing her!"
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and started recording Xia Mian, saying, "I'm going to record this little bitch's face and post it online!"
"Let everyone see how slutty this little bitch is. You used that innocent face to seduce your sugar daddy and get him to protect you, didn't you?"
"Otherwise, how could you, an ordinary person, have managed to steal my magazine cover?"
"Everyone come and see! This woman is called Xia Mian. She's just an ordinary person, yet she's on LX's cover! What makes her so special? She has absolutely no fame."
"Last night she stole the spotlight from the supermodels, and today she's stealing my brand ambassadorship and my magazine cover."
"Wow, that's incredible! How powerful must this backer be? They practically control everything!"
"Terissa is an international supermodel! Nobody can compete with her!"
Xia Mian stood there calmly, making no attempt to stop Lu Wanyue from taking pictures.
“The innocent are innocent, but Lu Wanyue, you need to bear legal responsibility for your actions of filming and the words you said.”
"This is defamation and spreading rumors! You'll be waiting for my lawyer's letter."
Lu Wanyue shoved the phone almost into Xia Mian's face, but Xia Mian remained completely calm.
It was as if the furious Lu Wanyue was invisible.
Lu Lian'er looked Xia Mian up and down. She felt that Xia Mian had changed a lot since leaving the Xia family.
She seemed to be a completely different person from the Xia Mian she knew before.
She then went to persuade Lu Wanyue, "Cousin, let's go. Xia Mian must have her reasons. She was kicked out of her home penniless, but now that she can eat and sleep well, I'm not so worried about her anymore."
The message conveyed between the lines: Xia Mian is penniless yet lives a good life, why is that? Isn't it because she has a sugar daddy?
"Lian'er, don't worry about me. I'm going to record this woman who's stealing my resources and let everyone see her face!"
Lu Wanyue continued to berate, still not satisfied, "If I ever run into someone like you again, I'll record it every time I see you!"
"Lu Wanyue! What are you doing?" Ji Jialin was busy, but when she heard the commotion, she immediately led several staff members into the dressing room.
Then I saw Lu Wanyue acting crazy here, with Lu Lian'er pulling and tugging at her from the side.
His face was gloomy, and his narrow eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses gleamed with coldness. His aura as the publicity director made the staff present lower their heads.
"Who allowed you to come in?"
"Director Ji, you've come at the right time!" Lu Wanyue was already familiar with Ji Jialin. She angrily put away her phone and saved the video of Xia Mian that she had just recorded.
"Why did she steal my brand ambassadorship? Why does she get a cover shoot? Did I do something wrong? I'm more famous than her, I have more fans, so why was she able to beat me to become the brand ambassador?"
