Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Jiang Zhi stood barefooted in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in her nightgown. She searched for Jiang Xue’s phone number and dialed.
Jiang Xue, who was hungover, was lying on the sofa. The ear-piercing ringtone woke her up. She grabbed her hair in annoyance and glanced at the strange number on the screen before hanging up.
Jiang Zhi was shocked and angry. She frowned and continued to call back until Jiang Xue picked up.
The tug-of-war exhausted Jiang Zhi’s patience. She said with a warning tone, “Jiang Xue, Swallowtail has sold your agent contract to Star Glory.”
“From now on, I am your new agent. Your escort behavior last night has already caused a great impact and loss to the company. It must be stopped immediately! Please come to Star Glory to discuss your future development and the specific code of conduct. We need to talk…”
Jiang Xue felt her ears ringing and her stomach churning. She rushed to the bathroom and held the toilet bowl and vomited.
Her hair was stained with dirty vomit. Jiang Xue looked at the woman in the mirror and laughed mockingly.
“I’m a nobody in the entertainment industry. No director would come to me to film. My commercial value? Worth piss! How could Swallowtail sell me?
“How could Star Glory be so foolhardy as to spend money to buy my contract?
“You’re a liar who has looked into my situation! But I don’t have any money to give you…”
After Jiang Xue said that, she blocked Jiang Zhi’s number and knelt on the ground. She covered her face with both hands and started to cry silently.
Jiang Zhi heard the cold, soul-weary voice of a woman reminding her of the fact that she could not get through. She bit her lips and sighed deeply.
She sympathized with Jiang Xue’s suffering, but she also looked down on Jiang Xue’s cowardice and willingness to fall.
A gust of cold wind blew from outside the window. She curled up and wrapped her robe tightly. In the next second, Lu Mian pulled her into a warm embrace.
Lu Mian buried his head in her neck, and their faces were reflected on the glass window. It was an intimate scene.
Jiang Zhi felt somewhere in her heart being filled with warmth.
Lu Mian kissed her earlobe gently. Jiang Zhi giggled and dodged. “Don’t get angry over something that’s not worth it. I’ll make you something…”
Jiang Zhi nodded. She looked at Lu Mian, who was getting busy in the kitchen despite his sleepy eyes, and curled her lips.
Cheng Yi was sitting in his office reading about the entertainment industry whenever he had nothing to do. He happened to see the comments on Star Glory’s official blog and was so angry that he laughed.
A demand to change Lu Mian’s manager?
Even if Lu Mian were to somehow adopt a new family, he would never change that manager of his!
