Finishing The Mission
Xi Wan inspected the makeup on her face. She didn’t know what the original owner’s style was, but the makeup had actually concealed her natural beauty.
She decided to wipe it off. She was beautiful to begin with, and even without makeup, she was already pretty enough to move people. After removing her makeup, she looked a few years younger— as fresh as a college student.
When she opened the door, the reporters outside were all excited. Their microphones were held out so closely to her face that they might as well be hitting her with them.
“Xi Wan, why did you push Jiang Ran? Are you jealous of her?”
“Xi Wan, why have you been hiding? Do you feel guilty?”
The person involved, Jiang Ran, walked over slowly at this time. With a gentle and magnanimous look on her face, she said to Xi Wan, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have mentioned that. I know you love him deeply, but now that he has a girlfriend, it’s time for you to let go.
When the reporters heard Jiang Ran’s words, they started drawing various conclusions in their heads. Could it be that Xi Wan had fallen in love with a married man? So was Xi Wan a third party who had interfered in someone else’s feelings?
The reporters ‘eyes were wide open, and their ears perked up, wanting to hear more.
Xi Wan sneered inwardly. Previously, Jiang Ran had used the matter of the male lead, Ling Feng, to provoke the host, which was why the host lost control. After all, the host had really loved Ling Feng.
But now that she was here, she had no feelings for Ling Feng.
And so, she looked at Jiang Ran innocently. “What are you talking about? Why wouldn’t I understand a single word? I love him deeply? Who is this ‘he’? If he has a girlfriend, who is it?”
“Jiang Ran, I know that everyone says that you’re just a supporting role and that you’re there to set me off; every time I attend an event, everyone says that I’m more beautiful than you, but I myself have never said that. It’s the netizens’ comments. I don’t have the energy to buy people over to say this on my behalf.”
Jiang Ran’s expression changed when she heard Xi Wan’s words. Anger slowly creeped into her expression—she hated it the most when people said that she was a supporting role to Xi Wan! She was clearly not worse than Xi Wan, so why did all those people say that she was no match for her?! Some people even said that she was a low-end version of Xi Wan. Why? The only thing Xi Wan had was a pretty face. How could she compare to her in terms of intelligence?
At that moment, Jiang Ran was so angry that she had completely forgotten that she’d said those words to provoke Xi Wan. Instead, she was the one who was provoked by Xi Wan’s words.
“Xi Wan, don’t be such a bully.” Jiang Ran gritted her teeth.
Xi Wan’s eyes softened even more, giving her an innocent aura. “I’m not bullying anyone. I’m just telling the truth.” Then, she looked at the reporters with a mocking look. “Speaking of which, you guys came here so quickly. You seem to be insistent that I was bullying Jiang Ran. Have you seen the evidence?”
The reporters were dumbfounded. This incident had only happened less than half an hour ago, and they had already rushed to the scene. They said that they had seen the evidence before coming over, but the time did not seem to match up.
Wait a minute, they’d almost fallen into Xi Wan’s trap! What did she mean by ‘have they seen the evidence’? didn’t that mean that someone had deliberately sent them the video of Xi Wan pushing Jiang Ran?
If they went along with Xi Wan’s words, wouldn’t that make them look like they had colluded with Jiang Ran to slander Xi Wan?
At this moment, the reporters looked at Xi Wan differently. They had thought that she was a silly girl from the entertainment industry, but they did not expect her to be so cunning!
“Xi Wan, please face our question. Are you trying to change the topic on purpose? Do you not want to admit that you are bullying Jiang Ran?”
Xi Wan simply smiled. “I didn’t bully her. Many things are not what you see. However, since everyone is so hostile towards me, I’ll announce that I’m leaving the industry.”
Then, she looked at Jiang Ran and asked, “Are you satisfied now?”
After that, she turned around and left. The reporters were stunned for a few seconds before finally reacting
Their first reaction was to check the equipment in their hands to see if Xi Wan’s words had been recorded.
Fortunately, everything had been recorded..
Jiang Ran was also flabbergasted. She only wanted to make Xi Wan’s reputation worse. Why did Xi Wan suddenly leave the industry?
However, when she thought about how Xi Wan must’ve been scared, then surrendered and ran away, thus indirectly admitting that she was no longer as good as her, Jiang Ran felt very happy. She felt like a general who had just won a battle, and it took her almost a minute to suppress her proud expression.
What she didn’t know was that her expression was also recorded by the reporters.
Although the reporters had been paid by Jiang Ran to come over, Jiang Ran had only asked them to expose Xi Wan’s bullying. She didn’t say anything about not recording the follow-up.
Now that Xi Wan had left the industry, everyone had initially thought that Xi Wan had bullied Jiang Ran. However, with Xi Wan’s last sentence, “Are you satisfied?”, it could also lead to new disputes.
Netizens nowadays were very free, and they could come up with a lot of plots in one sentence.
At this moment, Xi Wan was sitting in the resting room not far away. She calmly took out the cosmetics in her bag and applied makeup on herself.
The system exploded at her.
[Xi Wan! Why didn’t you discuss with me before you decided to leave the industry! Do you know that many of your plots are linked to the entertainment industry? Now that you’re out of the industry, you can’t participate in the important plots. How are you going to fix things?! If this novel collapses, you’ll die immediately as well!]
If it had a physical body, the system would definitely be pointing its finger at Xi Wan’s head and cursing. It had never seen such a willful host. It had asked her to complete a mission, but she just ended it all!
