Chapter 332 – Many romances ended when a woman was disappointed too many tis and gained clarity (1)
As the saying goes, whenever three won get together, there will be drama.
Ye Zhen had no interest in that arrogant woman. Any other ti, she wouldn’t even care about chatting with her.
Ning Ke was very unhappy from Ye Zhen’s mocking words.
She was able to stand there and mock ng Jie because ng Jie had laid low for five years. And, when ng Jie finally returned to the big screen, she joined the cast of a movie that obviously would not do well. Her future was grim to say the least, and she would never see the light of day again. That was the reason that Ning Ke felt confident in mocking her.
Ye Zhen, on the other hand, was not soone she would want to go up against. Or, one could say that Ye Zhen wasn’t soone that she could afford to offend.
Her status of being Lu Beichuan’s wife was enough to deter many from acting erratically in front of her.
The salesperson in the sa room as the other three won felt very awkward.
Ye Zhen turned and gave Ning Ke a look. “Ning Ke, right? Pardon . Perhaps what I have said was a little overboard. It was, after all, my first ti encountering the entertainnt circle and I don’t know it very well. What kind of awards had Miss Ning earned in the past?”
“I...” Ning Ke stuttered so and said, “I have received the best female support...”
“Best Female Supporting Character?” Ye Zhen was surprised, as though her interest had been revived. “Was that in the Golden Eagle Award, the Academy Award, or the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival?”
The smile froze on Ning Ke. All of her arrogance was gone under Ye Zhen’s aggressive questioning.
“Or, perhaps it was the Oscar?”
Ning Ke stiffened.
“Judging from Miss Ning’s look, it was none of those? What a waste of your standard female supporting character look.”
Her words were both aggravating and hurtful. She was clearly saying that she would be a female supporting character for life.
Even ng Jie, who was very good at controlling her expression, couldn’t help but chuckle a little.
Ning Ke felt even more hateful when she saw the smile on ng Jie. She might have only been a female supporting character so far, but all these years of playing those roles had still earned her a lot of fans and her status within the entertainnt circle could rival so first-tier actresses. All she was missing was an opportunity.
What was so funny to ng Jie? And who was she to be laughing at her?
“Mrs. Lu, truth was, I have a lot of respect for you. After all, you had the courage to beco a producer in the entertainnt circle. As you have said so earlier, you have not been in the field for very long and don’t know all the ins and outs in this circle.” She suppressed her anger and embarrassnt from earlier and put on a different expression altogether. Smiling, she said, “This lead actress of yours has a lot of history. It’s just that not many know about it now after she had been put on the back burner for the past five years. Do you know what Miss ng was known for five years ago?”
Ning Ke looked at Ye Zhen excitedly. “That she was a kept woman for several years. When she had offended her employer for whatever reason, her employer had blocked all of her avenues. Mrs. Lu, it wasn’t that I question your judgent of characters; I just feel that you need to know the truth when it cos to soone like ng Jie, who is good at making others feel pitiful for her.”
“A kept woman?” Ye Zhen pulled out her cellphone. “Can Miss Ning repeat that into my phone?”
“Whatever do you an, Mrs. Lu?”
“Didn’t you just tell in no uncertain terms that five years ago Miss ng Jie had the history of being a kept woman for several years.”
The smile disappeared from Ning Ke, “I... I have only heard of it in passing.”
She knew that Ye Zhen only pulled her phone out to record her. Being in the entertainnt circle for so many years, she had an idea how this worked. Saying sothing without proof would constitute slandering and she could be sued for that.
Not to ntion that the Lu’s Corporation was known in the entertainnt industry for sending out lawyers’ letters.
Lu Beichuan fully utilized the team of lawyers that he kept on his payroll.
