CHAPTER 84: MORE GOSSIP

"Stop." Cheng Anya looked at Han Bi, who seemed slightly agitated, and made a gesture indicating she didn’t want to discuss it further. "Talking about you and Feimo in front of Wen Nuan, I think it would make her unhappy, so let’s drop this topic and get back to the main point. What did you want to see me about?"

Wen Nuan innocently blinked her eyes. Her beautiful and pure peach blossom eyes showed a hint of excitement. Madam Ye, I don’t mind, I’m very happy. You can continue talking, I’m perfectly fine, continue talking. People want to hear gossip, gossip is the most important thing.

Cheng Anya glared at her with a hint of exasperation. Wen Nuan pouted and silently drank her coffee again. Wuwu, she wanted to hear gossip.

Han Bi fell silent, feeling extremely unwilling, but she dared not defy Cheng Anya. No matter how many years had passed, no matter how high her current achievements, she didn’t dare to go against Cheng Anya.

Xu Nuo smiled, looking at Han Bi with a slight hint of sarcasm. "Han Bi, I think Wen Nuan really wants to hear gossip, so let me tell her another piece of gossip. When you were dating Feimo back then, you had no idea about Feimo’s family background. Feimo was quite rebellious in his youth and happened to say he wanted to live independently for two years. My daddy and mommy agreed. So when you were dating Feimo, he was indeed capable on his own, buying a house and a car for himself in a short period of time. But he was never as famous as ’Second Young Master Ye,’ just a strikingly handsome face and a dull, boring personality, with good martial arts skills at most. You were young then, probably had a bit of a hero-worshipping complex, and weren’t famous yet, so you got together with Feimo. Later, when you were in the entertainment industry, you realized that being with a poor boyfriend wasn’t as satisfying as having dinner, singing, or even sleeping with directors, because that way, your career would gradually improve, something that Feimo couldn’t give you back then."

"I didn’t!" Han Bi retorted loudly, her eyes a little red. "I never thought that way."

Cheng Anya covered her mouth and laughed. "Whether you thought that way or not, you know it clearly in your own heart. If you had known Feimo’s identity back then, would you have been willing to abandon this big tree? Besides, Han Bi, didn’t anyone tell you not to lie in front of me? After living for so many years, can’t I tell what’s sincere and what’s not?"

"I..." Han Bi was speechless.

Wen Nuan thought to herself that these two, Cheng Anya and Xu Nuo, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were too powerful. Han Bi had no power to resist at all.

So, when they were dating, Ye Feimo had pretended to be a poor boy? Oh dear, wasn’t that asking for trouble? If he had revealed his identity from the beginning, maybe Han Bi wouldn’t have abandoned him.

Maybe they would have fallen in love and lived happily ever after, and he wouldn’t have suffered so much.

So, Second Young Master Ye, you weren’t honest, you deserved to suffer.

It was said that a certain survey website once released two different surveys: One, if your boyfriend is a poor boy pretending to be a rich second generation to hook you, what would you do when the truth is revealed?

99% of women would choose to break up, honesty is the most important.

Two, if your boyfriend is a rich second generation but pretends to be a poor boy to date you, what would you do when the truth is revealed?

99% of women would choose to continue dating, integrity doesn’t matter, true love is the most important.

This was a thought-provoking life question. Second Young Master Ye didn’t quite fit the second premise but got the first result.

So, he was really tragic.

Wen Nuan’s mind wandered to other things, while Han Bi was in extreme pain, feeling utterly ashamed by what Xu Nuo and Cheng Anya had said.

Seeing her in pain, Cheng Anya felt very satisfied, always feeling that she could never repay Feimo for the pain he had suffered over the years. The more heartbroken and humiliated Han Bi was, the happier Cheng Anya was. Han Bi deserved it.

"Alright, let’s not talk about these boring things. It’s been so many years. Dwelling on it is also tiring. What did you want to see me about?" Cheng Anya asked.

In this situation, Han Bi only felt embarrassed and didn’t want to mention "Lady Liang Hongyu." But if she couldn’t get past Cheng Anya, she wouldn’t be able to get past Ye Feimo either. She really didn’t understand why Ye Feimo listened to his mother so much.

Han Bi felt annoyed in her heart.

"Madam Ye, I came to see you today about ’Lady Liang Hongyu,’" Han Bi said. "Anning is preparing to film Teacher Wang’s drama, directed by Lin Ning. Have you heard about this?"

"I haven’t been involved in Anning’s affairs for a long time. What? You want to star in ’Lady Liang Hongyu’?"

"Yes," Han Bi said. No matter how prejudiced Cheng Anya was against her, her status in the film industry was irreplaceable by any other star. She was the most influential figure in the country.

It was true that she had been developing in Hollywood these past few years, but she hadn’t stopped her promotions in the country. A TV series she starred in in the United States had also been introduced domestically and was very popular. Her fame hadn’t come out of nowhere.

No matter how prejudiced Cheng Anya was against her, she was the best candidate to star in "Lady Liang Hongyu."

Cheng Anya and Xu Nuo exchanged a look. Xu Nuo glanced at Wen Nuan, and Cheng Anya said, "Have you come to the wrong person? If you want to star in ’Lady Liang Hongyu,’ you should look for Feimo or Lin Ning. Since Lin Ning is directing, you know the rules. He chooses the cast himself. It’s useless for you to come to me. Director Lin might not listen to me. Otherwise, if I just found a sow to go up there, wouldn’t that ruin someone else’s movie?"

Wen Nuan almost spat out her coffee again. A sow?

Madam Ye’s sarcasm was truly top-notch, actually calling Han Bi a sow. Heavens, Han Bi, so beautiful, noble, and full of charm, had also become a sow. Then what was she?

Her sister sow?

She finally understood where Ye Feimo’s sharp tongue came from.

But she wasn’t very concerned about this point at the moment. Han Bi’s face alternated between green and white. She clenched her fist and used all her strength to hold back her anger. Cheng Anya saw Wen Nuan wanting to say something but stopping herself and thought, this girl is quite perceptive. She wouldn’t be saying she wants to act too, would she? That would be a good show to watch.

So, Cheng Anya looked at Wen Nuan with expectant eyes. "Nuan Nuan, what did you want to say?"

Cai Xiaojing looked at Wen Nuan nervously, hoping she wouldn’t foolishly say she wanted to act too. Madam Ye disliked women like that the most. Of course, she didn’t know that if Wen Nuan said that at this moment, Cheng Anya would like her even more.

She liked any trick that could torment Han Bi.

Han Bi looked at Wen Nuan unhappily. In her opinion, when she was talking to Cheng Anya, Wen Nuan had no right to interrupt.
