"What nonsense are you talking about! I, Xiao Ruoyu, am not that kind of person!"
"Being 'that kind of person' isn't something you prove with words. If you, Xiao Ruoyu, aren't that kind of person, then explain to me why you were engaging with another woman in our bed?"
Exposing someone's dirty laundry—who can't do that?
When a person is pushed to the point of no retreat, they often stop caring about gains and losses. Because there's nothing left to lose, and no benefits to gain.
"Lu! An! Nuan!"
Xiao Ruoyu was furious. He raised his hand, about to slap Annuan's face. From a distance, Di Ming saw something was wrong and rushed forward. But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Seeing a slap about to land on Annuan's face, Di Ming's heart cried out, "It's over!"
If that slap truly landed, he might as well resign and go home. Their Young Master Ye had just said that she couldn't be wronged.
Rushing forward at top speed, just when he thought it was hopeless, Lan Shuoshuo, who was beside them, suddenly pulled Annuan away and then swiftly backhanded Xiao Ruoyu.
*Smack!* And the dust settled.
The slap landed. Xiao Ruoyu stared blankly at Lan Shuoshuo, his hand still raised, frozen in mid-air. He hadn't yet registered how that slap had landed on his face.
"Xiao Ruoyu, I've wanted to hit you for a long time. If it weren't for Annuan's sake, I wouldn't have tolerated you until now. Do you think I don't know about your filthy schemes? I couldn't bear to see Annuan break down; that's why I didn't say anything. But since it's out in the open now, there's nothing that can't be said. You, Xiao Ruoyu, are scum, an absolute scumbag!"
Lan Shuoshuo burst into curses. Xiao Ruoyu, a grown man, already felt humiliated by being slapped, and now with these sordid affairs being aired in public, his face burned with even greater shame. It's one thing for people to gossip about such things behind your back, but once it's brought out into the open, it's a completely different matter.
Immediately, staring sinisterly at Lan Shuoshuo, Xiao Ruoyu said darkly, "Lan Shuoshuo, you're getting too carried away. You'll dig your own grave. It's not your place to talk about my affairs!"
"Not my place to talk, or are you afraid of what I'll say? Are you afraid I'll reveal that I caught you going to a hotel room with Jin Jingfan, or are you afraid I'll say that you and another person from the company—"
"Shut up!"
Lan Shuoshuo hadn't finished speaking when Xiao Ruoyu roared.
Ye Meiqi's face, standing to the side, also darkened. She had originally intended to come and bully someone, but now she was the one being told off. What if she was President Ye of Star Brilliance? She still couldn't escape being ridiculed.
"Jin Jingfan!"
Ye Meiqi snarled, loudly calling Jin Jingfan's name. Jin Jingfan, steeling herself, responded, "I'm here."
"Keep filming! Press her until she shuts up!"
"Alright!"
Annuan's lips curved into a smirk. "I'd like to see if she dares to make a move. Anyway, if she wants to quit the industry, then let's all go down together. How about I go expose some behind-the-scenes stories of Star Brilliance's leading actresses? Maybe I'll become tomorrow's Paparazzi King!"
Annuan felt like she had found a new career for herself. What she said on a whim didn't seem impossible after all. If they didn't want her to spill the beans, they could just pay her hush money. None of them were good people anyway, so why should she deceive herself by pretending to be a good person?
To remain pure despite the filth? She had always insisted on that before, but now, she hesitated.
"Lu! An! Nuan!"
Ye Meiqi snarled, glaring fiercely at Jin Jingfan. "What are you still standing there for?"
