Chapter 224: Grudges

“That’s why they’re having an affair!” The person curled her lips in disdain. “Since she’s so popular, she must have slept with more than one person.”

Sun Dong sneered. “I was wondering why she turned around and accepted Wang Yiming’s drama instead of staying in the movie industry. So that’s what happened.”

Everyone chuckled and observed He Jiayi’s expression.

No one was spreading rumors about Yun Buyao and Wang Yiming. They just said that deliberately just now to make He Jiayi feel better.

Everyone knew that He Jiayi debuted as a child star and was a senior in terms of hierarchy. However, she had never been extremely famous. Due to her appearance, she only acted as the second female lead for most of the dramas. It was very rare for her to land the female lead role.

A few years ago, she finally took on a female lead role. The male lead was also an A-list male celebrity at that time. The entire team understood that this might be the best opportunity for He Jiayi to advance to the A-list rankings. However, while they initially thought that she would become famous soon, her drama coincidentally bumped into Yun Buyao’s first drama.

Logically speaking, Yun Buyao was a newcomer at that time, so it shouldn’t affect He Jiayi’s new drama in any way.

However… no one could say anything for sure. The moment Yun Buyao’s drama was aired, the ratings exploded, and it became famous across the country overnight.

He Jiayi’s drama crashed. The premiere broadcasting station and investors suffered heavy losses. For a moment, no one dared to ask He Jiayi to be the female lead.

Coincidentally, both the female lead and second female lead in that popular drama didn’t become famous. Instead, only the third female lead, Yun Buyao, was famous!

As a result, although Yun Buyao had never even seen He Jiayi before, she was inexplicably hated by He Jiayi and her team.

As long as she saw news of Yun Buyao, He Jiayi’s expression would turn very bad. However, she was helpless. In the past few years, Yun Buyao’s momentum has been strong. She received awards repeatedly and became an A-list celebrity in just two to three years.

He Jiayi hated her, but she had no choice but to lower her head. To gain popularity from Yun Buyao, she fought for the second female lead role.

However, before entering the production team, He Jiayi had already mentally prepared herself that for a long time to come, she would have to face the face that she extremely hated. No matter how annoyed she was, she could not show it.

And though He Jiayi’s expression was calm, she was already burning with anger when everyone rushed out.

Seeing this, Sun Dong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he did not forget to remind her, “No matter what, when you see Yun Buyao in the future, you have to maintain your composure.”

“I know. Don’t worry,” He Jiayi said lightly.

After all, she had been in the entertainment circle for so many years. How could she make such a low-level mistake?

…

In another private lounge, a girl with long, light green hair was half-leaning in front of the window, fiddling with the phone.

The girl had an excellent figure and an outstanding appearance. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her pair of slightly raised fox eyes were filled with indolence. Her nose bridge was slightly high, and she pursed her light pink lips. A faint smile hung on the corner of her lips.

She looked just like someone who had walked out of a comic.

The call was connected, and Yun Buyao’s lips curled up. She bloomed with a magnificent and charming smile. “Bai Zhou, I’m filming in Baiyun City. After work, tonight, treat me to a meal!”

On the other end of the phone, Bai Zhou smiled and sighed helplessly. “Little fox, how unfortunate. I’m leaving for Macau tonight.”

Yun Buyao immediately stopped smiling and her sharp fox-like eyes narrowed. “With who?”
