Chapter 207: It's All Men's Fault

Jih Mingyue’s participation in the variety show caused a sensation as soon as it aired.

As a rising star amongst seasoned predecessors, she appeared alongside a male actor with whom she had acted in a TV drama.

Together, they fabricated quite the artificial sweetener on camera, driving both fan bases crazy, with rarely a negative word to be said.

Her popularity had climbed another step recently, and with Bo Yanching allowing her to stir up publicity, though she didn’t dare to go overboard, the fringe benefits were enough to make her float on air.

Therefore, at the cocktail party, she met Jhiang’s Miss and brought her to this gathering of high society ladies.

She felt exceedingly anxious and nervous, but when several of the ladies smiled and walked over to her, she promptly stood up, her face twisting into an awkward smile, not expecting them to start talking to her with such warmth.

After a few drinks, it was too late when Jih Mingyue realized something was amiss.

Lu Zhenzhen glanced over nonchalantly, her voice deepening, “Did Bo Yanching really take her under his wing?”

Nan Jiaojiao took a sip of her fruit wine, “Who knows.”

Lu Zhenzhen sneered and signaled her girlfriends; the champagne in front of Jih Mingyue was swapped for Remy Martin.

“I won’t stop until I see her dead drunk.”

Nan Jiaojiao felt helpless, “It’s none of her business; it’s all the man’s fault.”

Lu Zhenzhen looked at her sharply, “Thinking so clearly, aren’t we?”

“What else can I do?” Nan Jiaojiao’s tone was indifferent, her voice unsharp.

Lu Zhenzhen thought for a moment and sat back down, “Fine, I’ll just make her uncomfortable and let her go.

I would have let it slide if I hadn’t known, but since she came here to show off, I won’t make it easy for her to leave unscathed.”

Nan Jiaojiao playfully tugged at her earlobe, “You’re so fierce, you’ve scared me.”

Lu Zhenzhen smiled and reached around her waist, “Don’t be afraid, big sister will take care of you.”

After a few glasses of fruit wine, Nan Jiaojiao leaned back on the sofa, her eyes half-closed.

Someone was singing softly, lulling her to sleep.

Suddenly, with a loud “bang,” the door was kicked open with force.

Several figures appeared in the doorway, Han Qi standing at the forefront.

His first glance was at the triptych of egrets on the wall, then he saw Nan Jiaojiao on the sofa, and his malevolent expression changed instantly to a forced smile as he walked in.

A group followed him, fiercely asking, “Who is Jih Mingyue?”

The girls stepped aside and pointed, “Over here.”

The sound of high heels clicking fast approached.

A woman in her early thirties, wearing a long dress and a grey mink stole on her shoulders, hastened forward, grabbed Jih Mingyue’s hair, and delivered two slaps to her face.

“You little slut!

You dare to sleep with any man’s bed, even trying to seduce my husband!”

Li Yu recognized the woman as the wife of a prominent director, and her family was no small force.

She immediately stood up and asked, “Mrs.

Ma, what’s going on?”

“She seduced my husband.

The roles she got in those few dramas were all because she slept with my husband.

I was away on a business trip for two days, and he brought her home.

Can’t even eat on the sly without cleaning up after themselves; this wench left her underwear in the bathroom.”

“Oh, that’s too much.

For a mistress to be so shameless, she does need a lesson.”

Li Yu clapped her hands, “Ladies, make room, don’t block Mrs.

Ma.”

The few girls who had been talking to Jih Mingyue around her had already grown tired of dealing with her, each standing aside as if watching a drama unfold.

Li Yu picked up a drink and sat next to Lu Zhenzhen, smilingly asking, “That little celebrity must have offended you, right?”

Lu Zhenzhen’s eyes flashed with a cunning light as she looked up from her phone, “Big sister, you’re so mean, not letting people maintain their white lotus facade.”

Indeed, it was her who had revealed Jih Mingyue’s whereabouts to Mrs.

Ma.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have arrived so quickly.
