The assistant led Ji Wei forward.
"Miss Ji, thank you." The assistant sincerely expressed her gratitude. Although it wasn’t Xia Duoduo she brought, at least she had a way to explain herself.
Ji Wei just smiled faintly and said nothing.
Lin Qian’s room was upstairs, twice the size of Xia Duoduo’s. Lin Qian’s agent, Sister Mu, opened the door. When she saw that the assistant had brought soone who wasn’t Xia Duoduo, she imdiately frowned and scolded, "Xiao Yue, what are you doing? I told you to bring that Xia woman here, and you brought...who exactly?"
Lin Qian, already changed into an outfit, had wrapped herself in a thick down jacket, looking like a cocoon. Hearing the commotion, she walked over at once.
When she saw Ji Wei, Lin Qian’s expression froze slightly.
Back on set, she had already noticed this woman who seed distinctive from the others.
As expected, when she got back, a casual search online revealed that Ji Wei was actually the wife of Mr. Gu from Rongcheng!
Xia Duoduo not only had Ye Cheng, a top agent, but also such a powerful friend in her corner. Lin Qian was seething with envy and jealousy!
"Sister Mu, this is no ordinary person. This is Miss Ji from Rongcheng, the elite circle. Show so respect," Lin Qian said as she crossed her arms, her narrowed eyes sweeping over Ji Wei.
Sister Mu’s expression softened slightly as she stepped aside to make way.
Ji Wei stood motionless at the door, her gaze calm as she looked directly at Lin Qian and said, "You recognize , so let’s skip the pretense. Duoduo is my closest friend. If you go against her, you go against . Do you understand?"
Lin Qian secretly clenched her hands and forced a stiff smile. "Miss Ji, you’re joking. Miss Xia and I are in the sa cast, and we get along just fine. Why would I go against her?"
A cold and detached smirk tugged at the corner of Ji Wei’s lips. "Good. I’d prefer it stayed that way. Think of this as giving you an early heads-up. Oh, by the way, I wonder, have you ever heard of an actress nad Jin Xuan’er?"
Lin Qian’s face looked puzzled, unsure why Ji Wei would bring up soone who had long since disappeared from the entertainnt world.
Once a top-tier celebrity, Jin Xuan’er’s reputation had crumbled after a scandal where she was caught partying and taking drugs with a rich playboy on a yacht until dawn. She was thoroughly disgraced in the industry. Rumor had it that after being shelved by her original company for six months, she was sent abroad and left to fend for herself.
"I’ve heard bits and pieces about her," Lin Qian replied.
"Good." Ji Wei nodded, her sharp gaze making Lin Qian feel an uneasy chill. "If you don’t want to end up like Jin Xuan’er, I suggest you stop scheming."
Ji Wei’s words, delivered with a calm yet cutting tone, sent a massive jolt through Lin Qian’s heart.
What did she an?
Could it be that Jin Xuan’er had fallen because she offended Ji Wei?
As soon as Ji Wei left, Sister Mu dismissed Xiao Yue. Turning to the now visibly unsettled Lin Qian, she asked, "Is this Ji person really all that powerful?"
Lin Qian showed Sister Mu what she’d found on her phone. After reading it, Sister Mu fell silent.
"So does this an we can’t touch that Xia Jienren anymore?" Sister Mu sat down beside Lin Qian, her tone brimming with resentnt.
It was infuriating for a re third female lead to outshine the second lead in acting while constantly overshadowing her agency’s talent.
Lin Qian sat in a brooding silence for a mont before turning to Sister Mu with a sly look. "Sister, what do you think about a plan to turn best friends into enemies?" A trace of malice flickered in her eyes.
"You an—" Sister Mu looked at her in shock.
"That Ji Wei is pregnant," Lin Qian said coolly. "If we find a way to make Xia Duoduo inadvertently cause her best friend’s miscarriage, do you think their friendship could survive that?"
Sister Mu didn’t respond, but her eyes clearly lit up with intrigue.
"That’s Mr. Gu’s child. Even if Ji Wei were magnanimous enough to forgive Xia, I doubt Mr. Gu would let her off easily. When that happens, Xia Jienren will lose her strongest backing."
"And there’s still Ye Cheng..." Sister Mu hesitated.
"Ye Cheng? What of him? An agent is just there to support their artist; I don’t put him in my sights!" Lin Qian said disdainfully. "Last ti, when the suspension wire malfunctioned, didn’t he fail to get to the bottom of it? In my opinion, the outside world has overhyped this agent. Even Director Zhu, that coward, is afraid of Ye Cheng. Utterly pathetic!"
