CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 77: CAUTION COMES FIRST

Zhou Lifen was taken aback, almost failing to catch her breath.

She wanted to say something to refute, but unfortunately, Wang Linjia didn’t give her the chance and walked past her.

She held back her anger, looked at Mu Yan, and asked in confusion, "I forgot to ask last time, has the contract expired? How come I didn’t know?"

Mu Yan suddenly felt a bit sorry for Zhou Lifen. Even in such anger, she had to continue acting.

There’s no denying it, Wang Linjia’s prowess was formidable.

She said calmly, "Sister Zhou has important things to do, how could she have the time to worry about such a small contract? However, when I left, my assistant told me they have found five new stand-ins for you, only then I felt at ease to leave."

Zhou Lifen’s face almost turned green upon hearing this, and she said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

How come she had no idea she had five stand-ins?!

Mu Yan’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "I’m sorry, Sister Zhou, I misspoke. It’s not five, it seems to be only three."

Zhou Lifen was furious, "You..."

This would only lead to more misunderstandings, wouldn’t it?

The people around, noticing the situation wasn’t right and having overheard things they shouldn’t have, quickly took their leave.

"Sister Zhou, we have a scene to shoot later, we’ll head off, you take your time."

"Yeah, you take your time, we’re leaving now."

The people scattered quickly, leaving only Mu Yan and Zhou Lifen standing there.

Zhou Lifen no longer needed to put on a facade, looking at Mu Yan with resentment, "You’ve surely developed some skills, learning to twist truths like that."

Mu Yan met her gaze and smiled, "Likewise."

Zhou Lifen gritted her teeth in anger, "I really didn’t expect you to become so ungrateful."

Mu Yan looked impatient, "Let’s not bring up the old matters, both you and I know them well."

Zhou Lifen said mockingly, "Alright, besides that, what’s with the ’Micro Era’ magazine cover? If it weren’t for you, how would I end up in the hospital with stomach bleeding, how would I tear up the contract with the magazine, and how would it benefit you!"

Mu Yan was taken aback, looked at Zhou Lifen a few times, and suddenly realized that the famous actress Chief Editor Hao mentioned was Zhou Lifen.

You have to admit, it really was quite a coincidence.

She sneered, "What do you mean you were hospitalized because of me? Why don’t you say Young Master Jiang couldn’t stand you?"

Zhou Lifen was outraged, she would never admit that.

"Do you have to go against me?" she said coldly.

Mu Yan looked at her and asked back, "Would you let me off?"

Zhou Lifen glanced at her, "Become my stand-in again and work for me."

"It’s broad daylight, can you stop dreaming?" Mu Yan sneered.

Zhou Lifen knew the conversation had collapsed, and warned, "I will make sure you never recover."

"Then I’ll be waiting," Mu Yan responded without backing down. She glanced at Chen Zhou not far away, "I have to shoot a scene, Sister Zhou, take your time."

Zhou Lifen watched Mu Yan’s retreating figure, gritting her teeth in anger, turned to say a word of farewell to Chen Zhou, and then left.

Mu Yan walked a few steps forward and saw Wang Linjia, immediately saying, "Sister Lin Jia, thank you."

Wang Linjia raised her eyebrows, "No need to thank me, I just can’t stand her."

With that, she turned and walked back.

She seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped, looked back at Mu Yan, and said, "You should still be careful. Based on my understanding of Zhou Lifen, she won’t let it go easily. These days, the hardest thing to guard against is a petty person."

"Thank you for the reminder, Sister Lin Jia, I know," Mu Yan nodded.

Regarding Zhou Lifen, she never dared to let her guard down.
