Shu Bai had always been timid. Now that she saw Chi Ying dressed in branded clothes, standing there with a cold and arrogant expression, and looking at her with a mocking gaze, she suddenly became agitated.
She habitually pushed the blame and mistakes to the outside world, feeling like she was a puppet being played. These rich and powerful people could always easily control her fate.
Having lost Qi Hongcheng, her last life-saving straw, Shu Bai's face alternated between red and white, and her voice trembled. "Why did you call me?"
Chi Ying could hear the anger in Shu Bai's voice and couldn't help but frown. She couldn't understand why Shu Bai, who had done so many things to harm others for her own benefit, acted like a victim instead. She usually didn't dare to say a word to others, but now she was glaring at her with resentment.
Chi Ying was both angry and amused. She raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Do you think that I, the Prime Minister, can hold a boat in my stomach? Do you think that I can swallow my anger and remain indifferent after all the things you've done behind my back? I called you to settle the score with you. What's your attitude now? Who gave you face? "
Chi Ying's tone was obviously cold. No matter how pleasant her voice was, it also carried a bit of momentum. Shu Bai suddenly felt a little scared, but since she had already done it, of course she had to do it to the end. She braced herself and raised her voice. "You gave it to me? Where did Qi Hongcheng go? Why did he break up with me? Do you dare say that you didn't interfere?"
"Qi Hongcheng? The director who recommended you to play Jiang Wanwan? I don't like to destroy other people's relationships as much as you do, nor do I like to judge others by my own standards. "
Chi Ying's sarcastic tone made Shu Bai extremely uncomfortable. She was used to hiding in a safe corner and hated being mocked and ridiculed the most. Moreover, she thought that Chi Ying was slandering her. Shu Bai's face instantly flushed red. "Who destroyed your relationship —"
She posted the video of Gu Yuanchen's confession online just to slander Chi Ying for relying on men to get to the top. She wanted to ruin her reputation and earn a sum of money at the same time. Her original intention had nothing to do with destroying relationships. Chi Ying must not take revenge on her by destroying her relationship …
Chi Ying's face was as cold as the frosty moon, "Have you forgotten? Five years ago, she broke into the guest room and stole my contact information. Five years later, she pretended to be me and sent a message to Lu Jingyan. Then, she secretly took a video of Director Gu and sold it to Geng Shitong. If I remember correctly, in the past, I only treated you with kindness and not hatred. Shu Bai, God is watching. You have to pay the price for biting the hand that feeds you. "
Shu Bai subconsciously took a step back and pressed her back against the concrete wall.
She knew what Chi Ying meant by kindness and enmity. When she was in college, Chi Ying had sponsored her and solved her urgent needs.
But during this period of time in the detention center, Shu Bai repeatedly complained and understood one thing. If Chi Ying had never appeared in her line of sight in the past, she would not have had the time to admire her. Even more so, she would not have taken the unnecessary step of barging into Chi Ying's room. In the end, she would have angered a big shot like Lu Jingyan and landed herself in a situation where she could not eat or sleep in peace.
Moreover, from the bottom of her heart, she felt that what Chi Ying said was nothing compared to her unfortunate fate of being homeless. It was completely an excuse for rich people to bully her.
Shu Bai's eyes flickered and she refuted incoherently, "I didn't want to break you up! I took away your contact information because I was afraid that you would break the unspoken rules, destroy the fairness, and steal other people's opportunities … And even if I took it away, CEO Lu would still remember you … Aren't you two a couple now? You also got what you wanted and married into a rich family. It doesn't affect you at all … I had no choice but to text CEO Lu. If I couldn't pay off the debt, they would have directly cut me with a knife … Also, CEO Lu was chasing you at that time. Didn't you not want to be with him? How did my text get in your way? Did CEO Lu help me even a little? He didn't give me a single cent … I'm still in debt and homeless … Also, about the video, you stole my second female lead role and caused Qi Hongcheng to lose his job. Of course, we wanted to vent our anger … It was my fault to sell it to Geng Shitong and post it on the Internet … But in the end, you weren't defamed, right? But I stayed in this broken place for two whole weeks. You are the CEO's wife, so of course you don't know how bad the food in the detention center is … "
Before Shu Bai could finish speaking, she saw Chi Ying's white and dazzling hand draw an arc in the air and slap her face.
A palm-shaped red mark gradually appeared on Shu Bai's thin and pale cheeks. Burning pain came from her nerve endings, magnifying the shame and humiliation in her sensitive heart.
Shu Bai covered her cheek and looked up in shock. In her dazzling vision, she saw Chi Ying's cold and beautiful eyes seem to be burning with anger. She was stunned for a moment. Her lips trembled and her voice trembled. "Chi Ying, you actually hit me —"
Chi Ying's chest rose and fell slightly as she looked at her coldly. Why did people always like to have this kind of thinking? Just because she was living well and seemed to be "lucky", it wasn't enough to hurt her, but was it enough to erase their mistakes?
The happiness she had in this life was because she had transmigrated back from another world. Her mentality had changed, and she was able to successfully get out of her depressed state. Even so, she still missed out on a full five years with Lu Jingyan. How many five years did a person have in their life? It wasn't so extravagant that they could waste it casually!
Not to mention in her previous life, if Shu Bai hadn't taken away the note, Lu Jingyan might have contacted her. They wouldn't have had to go through so many twists and turns. If Shu Bai hadn't sent that message to Lu Jingyan, Lu Jingyan wouldn't have thought that she was Shu Bai, and he wouldn't have taken Lin Yousheng, who looked similar to her and whose original name was Shu Bai, as her. She wouldn't have been replaced by others, let alone be crushed under a car by a substitute. Lu Jingyan wouldn't have had to work hard to find a way to restart this world.
She didn't deny that there was a flaw in her character in that life. In the love of a moth flying into the flame, she put herself too low. Even if Lu Jingyan came to her, she might push him further away because of her inappropriate view of love.
But there would also be opportunities to change, and there was still hope, right?
Of course, she couldn't tell Shu Bai what had happened in this world. But Shu Bai's despicable character of shirking responsibility, hoping for a fluke, and taking things for herself was deeply ingrained in her even if the world was restarted several times. It made her angry and she hated her even more.
Chi Ying's eyes flashed coldly, and she seized the opportunity to grab Shu Bai's wrist. Her strength might be vulnerable compared with tall men like Cheng Huan and Karl, but it was still more than enough to deal with Shu Bai, who was thinner and shorter than her.
Shu Bai's hand was twisted behind her back, and she immediately felt a sharp pain as if her bones were broken.
At first, she dared to be stubborn because Chi Ying's indifferent expression couldn't hide her natural gentle temperament. If Chi Ying was as domineering as Lu Jingyan, she definitely wouldn't dare to say a word. She would be lucky if she didn't bite off her tongue.
Shu Bai didn't expect Chi Ying to hit her. Chi Ying's wrist looked delicate and boneless, but her strength was not light at all, as if she was angry. If Chi Ying used a little more force, her wrist would probably be broken. And she had starved for so many days in the detention center, so she didn't have the strength to resist.
Shu Bai's eyes were red from the pain, and little drops of tears oozed out. She struggled like a fish floating on the shore and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Let go of me!"
Of course, Chi Ying wouldn't let go of her. Her fingers were so tight that her knuckles turned white. Her heart was cold and angry. "Try saying what you just said again. Since you don't know what you did wrong, then listen carefully. I'll tell you. "
"I didn't check out, but you barged in and took the note without permission. Where is your basic professionalism? You said that I slept with you, but what evidence do you have? Who gave you the confidence? Did you know that I got the role a long time ago? "
"Speaking of professionalism, when you were a waiter, you couldn't even hold a wine bottle steadily. Did I ask you to pay for my dress?"
"I considered that it wasn't easy for you to work, so I didn't hold you responsible. But you pretended to be me and sent Lu Jingyan a message. Yes, at that time, I didn't want to be with Lu Jingyan. But what I didn't want, did it belong to you? Taking something that belongs to someone else for yourself is called stealing. What right do you have to feel at ease? "
"Later, you went to Qi Hongcheng and stopped working. You lived like a rice worm. You didn't forget to slander and sow discord. The money came quickly and easily, didn't it? "
"You said that you wanted to vent your anger because I 'stole' your second female lead role. Shu Bai, do you think you have the ability to compete with me? Qi Hongcheng lost his job because of the unspoken rules. Is it unreasonable or not? Tell me. "
