Chapter 259: Who Exactly Is High Above

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Who Exactly Is High Above

Shi Yaoguang was not accustomed to pampering An Siqi, no matter how An Siqi glared at her, she didn’t take her seriously.

Seeing this, An Siqi grew even more dissatisfied.

"What kind of attitude is that? Here, we are all artists, none of us is nobler than the others, you should drop that lofty act!"

Looking at the righteous indignation on An Siqi’s face, Shi Yaoguang smiled, "Lofty? You think this is me being lofty?"

"Hmph!" An Siqi crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Don’t believe me? Ask them!"

With that, she turned and pointed towards the entrance.

At the doorway, three gentlemen looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had arrived just before or after An Siqi and had also heard what Shi Yaoguang had said to Director Xu Qian inside the director’s booth.

However...

They were more composed and hadn’t rushed in like An Siqi did.

And it seemed that An Siqi might have some old grudge with Shi Yaoguang.

Now suddenly put on the spot, the three of them looked at the sky, the ground, each other—anywhere but at An Siqi.

After a long wait with no response, An Siqi felt incredibly awkward.

She felt that she had been greatly insulted.

It was as if the whole world was laughing at her.

"Why isn’t anyone talking?"

She called out a few times, but still no one answered.

This made the awkward atmosphere even thicker.

Angry, An Siqi directly called out one of their names.

"Wen Helun!" she said with her hands on her hips, her tone carrying a bit of threat, "I’m asking you something, why don’t you answer?"

Cued, Wen Helun’s face didn’t look too good, "Say what?"

An Siqi snorted coldly, her words biting, "What else could it be?"

"I’m asking you, we are all artists, shouldn’t we be more humble in our attitude?"

"...Yeah." Wen Helun looked at her with a strange expression before nodding after a long moment.

An Siqi was very unsatisfied with his attitude, "If it’s yes, then say yes, if it’s no, then say no, what’s with the dawdling?"

Wen Helun pursed his lips but didn’t speak.

An Siqi frowned and was about to scold him.

At that moment, a youth with cherry blossom pink-dyed short hair lightly clicked his tongue and spoke up, "Big sister, what exactly do you want him to say?"

"Lofty?" He sneered lightly, "Have you even considered who is the one being lofty here?"

An Siqi’s expression grew even more dissatisfied, "What do you mean?"

"Isn’t what I’m saying clear enough? Or maybe..." He scanned An Siqi up and down with his gaze, his tone slightly questioning, "Big sister, do you have some hearing problems? Can’t you hear what I’m saying?"

"My ears are the problem?" An Siqi retorted without thinking.

The youth nodded thoughtfully, "So it turns out your ears are fine? Since there’s no problem with your ears, then it must be your brain that has an issue."

With this, he sighed with pity, "They say when God closes a door, He opens a window."

"But looking at you, big sister, it seems you’re the one that God forgot... truly pitiable..."

Hearing his voice filled with pity for her, An Siqi didn’t feel comforted at all.

Her eyes looking at him were about to burst into flames, "You’re the one forgotten by God!"

"Me?" The youth pointed at himself and then exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Ah~ My beauty, I can’t even deny it myself, I think... I must be a perfect work of art meticulously crafted by God, right?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Shi Yaoguang walking out from the director’s tent.

Today, she was wearing a cheongsam that Director Xu Qian had prepared in advance.

Because the shooting required it, Director Xu Qian prepared clothes for the male actors such as different kinds of robes and suits, as well as cheongsams.

Of course, there were ancient costumes as well.

The bright red cheongsam Shi Yaoguang was wearing was the most challenging one among the costumes she had prepared.

There’s that old saying.

When one wears red, they are either made more beautiful by it or dragged down into vulgarity.

And Shi Yaoguang, she was never the latter.

Wearing such a bright color as red, it would only complement her.

"Oh my God, Wen Helun, help me out, I think I’m seeing Sister Fairy descending to the mortal world!"

The boy with pink hair leaned exaggeratedly on Wen Helun, his eyes full of amazement.

His attitude was completely different from how he had just mocked An Siqi for being a "forgotten" creation of God, ugly and brainless.

Seeing her like this only infuriated An Siqi even more.

"Tch! What is there to show off? Disgusting!"

"Show off?" The pink-haired boy was immediately dissatisfied, "Who are you saying is showing off?"

"You’re not only ugly but also lack self-awareness. Obviously, you have the lowest status here, yet you still act so arrogantly. Who really thinks they are above everyone else, without a clue?"

"Huh, no, praising you for thinking you’re above others would be a compliment to you."

"I think you’re just plain stupid."

As he spoke, he turned to Wen Helun with a look of disappointment, "Wen Helun, you too. You should know better; you’re the cash cow of our company, get it?"

Wen Helun was somewhat embarrassed, "Ming Yan, keep it down."

"I haven’t said anything wrong. Why should I keep it down?" the boy named Ming Yan huffed, "Being the cash cow, you should have the self-awareness of one."

"With your current popularity, you could even consider leaving the company to go solo, no need to waste your youth here. And you certainly don’t need to grovel to women who try to climb up the ranks by selling their charm."

"It’s only because you’re too easy-going. If it were me, if she dared to raise her voice to me, I’d kick her to death!"

An Siqi didn’t expect Ming Yan to humiliate her like this.

It was bad enough that he didn’t give her face, but he was even trying to drive a wedge between her and Wen Helun.

Is this even human behavior?

"Ming Yan!" An Siqi called out his name directly, "Don’t think that just because you’re a top influencer that you’re so incredible. I’m telling you, if you dare target me on purpose, be careful, I’ll go tell your fans!"

"Once I expose your true colors, let’s see who still wants to work with you! When that happens, you won’t even be worthy to carry my shoes!"

"Not worthy to carry your shoes? Miss An sure has a big mouth,"

Ming Yan said with a mocking smile, confident and undaunted, "I’m just wondering, where did you get such confidence?"

"Is it from the boss of Qingchuan Entertainment, or Mr. Zhao from Bohong Real Estate? Or maybe someone else?"

Hearing him accurately name her own benefactors, An Siqi’s complexion changed dramatically.

"You... how do you know that?"

Ming Yan shrugged, "Don’t worry about how I know. You just need to understand... the people involved still don’t know about this."

"What do you think... if they knew you were playing them all along, stepping on N boats, would they forgive you?"

"No, you can’t..."

Hearing his words, An Siqi’s face had turned ashen, and the look in her eyes towards him was tinged with fear...
