Chapter 5 - Gossip Queen (5) (2/2)

Ugh, I’m going to explode!

No words could describe Aileen’s feelings right now.

Watched by various pairs of eyes, she pulled Ming Shu back to the lounge.

Once the door was closed, Aileen burst out completely.

“Jiang Nian, do you know who that man is?” Do you know? Do you know? Do you know?

Aileen was howling on the inside.

With just one word, he could expel her from the entertainment industry.

No matter how many connections one had, it meant nothing to him.

“Li Shaonan.” Ming Shu sat down carelessly.

“Since you know he’s Li Shaonan, why were you provoking him?!” Are you crazy? Aileen shouted at Ming Shu, eager to pull her ear and make her realize the seriousness of the situation right now. “Do you know that you might be ostracized because of today’s behavior? From now on, there might be no place for you in showbiz.”

Li Shaonan, the famous tycoon of the entertainment circle, possessed an unpredictable temper and was a golden bachelor who had innumerable women chasing him, desperate to sleep with him.

“Then I’ll do something else. I don’t think Li Shaonan controls the whole world, does he?”

“…”

Do something else, that’s easy to say!

Jiang Nian really was crazy.

Aileen reached out to touch Ming Shu’s forehead as if to check her temperature. Ming Shu stared at her in confusion.

Aileen was in her mid-thirties. Because of her many years of working experience, she’d always appeared to be a capable, intelligent woman.

“It’s not a fever,” said Aileen, placing her hands on Ming Shu’s shoulders. “Tell me, my little ancestor, what on earth happened to you these last two days?”

What happened to make you this free?

So free as to offend the biggest big shot in this industry.

Why don’t you fly straight to the heaven!

Ming Shu pushed Aileen’s hands aside, helplessly spreading her own. She thought, Who the hell knows what I’ve been going through.

Isn’t this a place where I can do whatever I want?

[Attention, Guest. I recommend you not violate the character setting. Avoiding unnecessary trouble will be helpful to completing your task.]

Ming Shu was able to communicate with the Harmony System within her mind, so she grunted. Before coming here, you promised that I could do anything.

[I’m just offering a suggestion.]

Shut up.

[…]

Aileen really couldn’t imagine how a person could change so quickly. The familiar face looking at her was definitely Jiang Nian’s, even the mole on her neck was there, but everything else seemed different.

But what’s done is done and being angry is of no use. What’s most important now is to cover up this matter, or Jiang Nian will ruin her star career.

Those who displeased Li Shaonan all ended up miserable.

Aileen calmed down a little and asked again, “Did you know the one behind Ning Keqing was Li Shaonan?”

It had never been spoken of. No one imagined that Ning Keqing, a vase in the world of acting, could have anything to do with Li Shaonan.

“Yeah, I knew.” Even if she suffered the wrath of gods, she had to obtain those Hatred Points.

She couldn’t do anything about it.

[…] Such exciting helplessness.

Aileen had a ferocious look on her face like she was about to kill Ming Shu at any moment. Just let her break out!
