Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Are You a Naïve and Gullible Girl?

Shi Yaoguang was just kindly giving a heads up. As for whether the third female lead appreciated it, she couldn’t care less.

Watching Shi Yaoguang walk away, the third female lead curled her lips and muttered, "Who is she trying to scare, hmph."

"Isn’t she just clinging to an old man? What’s there to be proud of..."

Ming Yan happened to pass by and overheard this comment. He immediately stopped in his tracks.

The third female lead’s eyes brightened when she saw him.

"Ming Yan, what a coincidence~"

Ming Yan gave a faint nod of his head, then scrutinized her with an assessing look, "What were you just saying?"

"Saying? What was I saying?" The third female lead was startled.

Ming Yan gently reminded her, "Clinging to a rich guy."

The third female lead hadn’t expected that her backbiting would be caught red-handed by Ming Yan.

Embarrassed, she said, "I wasn’t talking about anyone, I was just... reflecting a bit."

As she spoke, she guiltily shifted her gaze away.

Ming Yan glanced at her, cautioning, "I advise you better not mess around."

The third female lead blinked, looking genuinely puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Don’t provoke her." By her, Ming Yan of course meant Shi Yaoguang.

The third female lead bit her lip and put on a wronged expression, "I don’t want to provoke her, but... why does she deserve it? Just because she married a rich guy, Director Wang gave her the lead role..."

"Tsk." Ming Yan rolled his eyes in speechless exasperation and bluntly criticized, "Are you stupid or what?"

"Huh?" The third female lead clearly didn’t understand his meaning, "What do you mean ’stupid or what’?"

"No, you’re not ’stupid or what’." Ming Yan backtracked on his original remark, "You’re just plain dumb."

The third female lead was shocked.

She hadn’t expected him to judge her so harshly, "Ming Yan, how can you say that about me?"

"Have I said anything wrong?" Ming Yan rolled his eyes dramatically, "Calling you dumb is already a kindness. With your intellect, it’s a wonder Director Wang chose you as the third female lead – he must have been blind."

The third female lead’s eyes widened again, in disbelief, "Ming Yan! Is it... has Shi Yaoguang said something about me?"

With her pea-sized brain, she could only come up with this possibility after much thought.

Ming Yan gave her a ’you’re overthinking it’ look and straightforwardly said, "You’re not that important."

—— You’re not that important.

His words turned the third female lead green with mortification.

Ming Yan’s words were an utter snub.

Seeing her expression, Ming Yan knew exactly what she was thinking and said immediately, "Don’t feel wronged. With the way you’ve been happily used by others and your foolishness, even saying this is giving you face, understand?"

Feeling indignant, the third female lead retorted, "How am I being used by others? Even if you’re my senior, you can’t just say that about me."

"What did I say? Have I said anything wrong?"

Ming Yan wore a look of disdain, "Do you think Shi Yiqing is a good person?"

"Even if she’s not a good person, she was still picked by the director as the second female lead, and there’s nothing wrong with that, right?"

Hearing this, Ming Yan felt she was even more foolish.

"Yes, she is the director’s chosen second female lead, but have you ever considered that Shi Yaoguang is the one the director has in mind for the lead role?"

"Can’t you tell the difference between a lead and a supporting role in terms of importance?"

The third female lead turned pale, "How would I know if what you’re saying is true? Who knows how she got where she is, maybe she used some methods..."

"Ha." Ming Yan scoffed, "Let alone the fact that she doesn’t need to resort to any methods, even if she did, what does it have to do with you?"

"Director Wang is notoriously strict in casting. If you don’t meet his standards, he’d never accept you no matter what."

The third female lead fumbled with her fingers weakly and said, "Director Wang hasn’t compromised, that just means the capital was insufficient..."

"Didn’t Shi Yaoguang hook up with some rich guy? Maybe..."

Maybe she’s just relying on a man.

The second half of the sentence, under Ming Yan’s threatening gaze, she just couldn’t bring herself to say.

Ming Yan sneered coldly, "Let’s not talk about whether the phrase ’hooking up with a rich guy’ is correct or not, I need to correct the matter of you saying she hooked up with a rich guy."

"Huh?" Female No. 3 clearly didn’t catch on, "What’s there to correct? It’s a fact that she hooked up with a rich guy..."

"Heh." Ming Yan simply rolled his eyes, "You should be thankful that you didn’t say this in front of her face."

Female No. 3 pursed her lips, "If she dares to do it, why would she be afraid of people saying it to her face?"

This time, Ming Yan was truly rendered speechless by her.

"I’ve made it so obvious, can’t you understand?"

"What do you mean?"

Ming Yan held his forehead, "You’ve been used by Shi Yiqing, and those things she led you on with, they were just to trick you into offending someone."

"This... this can’t be, right?" Female No. 3 was still unwilling to believe, "How does it benefit her to trick me?"

"She tricked you into attacking Shi Yaoguang, a strategy that kills two birds with one stone, and you still ask me what benefit she gets?"

Ming Yan was tired of rolling his eyes.

"Sun Sitian, if you’re always not understanding what’s being said, I don’t have to talk to you, but you just need to know one thing."

Ming Yan emphasized his tone, "Don’t mess with Shi Yaoguang, got it?"

Female No. 3, that is, Sun Sitian, shook her head very honestly.

She understood Ming Yan’s advice.

But, she still didn’t quite get why she had to back down.

Ming Yan was truly at a loss for words.

Facing an idiot who doesn’t listen to anything, not getting angry is really rare.

If possible, he really couldn’t be bothered about the life and death of an idiot like Sun Sitian.

But reality wouldn’t allow it.

Sun Sitian was the granddaughter of his master, and knowing that she was courting disaster, he couldn’t help but warn her.

He had no choice but to break down the logic and explain it to her in simple terms.

After listening to him, Sun Sitian still felt...

"You’ve said so much, but isn’t Shi Yaoguang still relying on a man? Why is it that she can get by relying on a man, while I can’t if I go after it myself?"

Ming Yan: "..." Damn!

Seeing that he was silent, Sun Sitian took it as an agreement to her point, and snorted lightly, "That kind of woman, who would stoop low enough to please old men for the sake of her future, and even disregard her fiancé’s feelings, what right does she have to make me back down?"

"Not to mention that the opportunity is right in front of me, even if there wasn’t an opportunity, I’d create one."

Hearing her righteous rhetoric, Ming Yan really felt the urge to bang his head against the wall.

How on earth has this idiot, Sun Sitian, managed to live this long?

Being dumb is one thing, but not listening to reason is another.

If it weren’t for his master’s sake, Ming Yan really wouldn’t bother with her fate.

But there is no ’if’.

Ming Yan was doomed to care about Sun Sitian’s fate.

To dispel her thoughts, he had no choice but to reveal Quan Jinbei’s identity to her.

Of course, not the "little assistant" who follows around the film crew.

But Quan Third Master’s personal information.
