At this moment, Ye Xin who was sitting below the stage had clenched her hands so tightly that she had already drawn blood on her palms. She could barely conceal her livid expression. She did not even have the strength to stand up and leave.

She had spent a million on her dress, but the glory it brought her on the red carpet lasted only a brief moment.

Previously, she was confident she would be the star of the film festival; the limelight would be hers. Both her family and her management company had built her up; her status as an A-list celebrity was unshakeable. Moreover, her ambitions did not only stop here. She wanted to be the number one actress even after ten years or even longer. To achieve her dream, she would spare no effort. Alas, she met with a huge obstacle today.

Ye Xin was famous because she was known as Little Ning Xia. However, she had been trying to get out of the shadow of Ning Xia and was intent on shedding the title of Little Ning Xia. Perhaps, it was not a big problem in the beginning. However, with the real Ning Xia’s appearance, her status as a fake was even more glaring. She had lost. She had lost everything because of the title Little Ning Xia.

At this moment, she was shaken. She wondered if she would ever feel the glory she felt earlier when walking the red carpet again in the future.

She understood now. Perhaps, if there were no Yi Yao the movie or Song Ning’s flawless portrayal of the titular character, she might have been praised for her role in the TV series based on the movie. However, after seeing everyone’s reactions today, she suddenly felt uncertain. Even if her performance was good, it would be difficult to compare people’s memories of Yi Yao the movie. Put aside the fact that Yi Yao was an amazing movie, people’s nostalgia would add a rose-tinted filter in the way they viewed the movie. With this, how was her TV series going to fare well?

In her entire life, the person Ye Xin hated the most was that woman standing on the stage. Ever since she debuted, she had to live under Ning Xia’s shadow. Everyone would relate her successes and failures to Ning Xia. If she performed well, it was because of Ning Xia. If she failed, they would say she was not as good as Ning Xia. Ning Xia was like her natural enemy!

Ye Xin did not understand how Song Ning could appear here. She had thought about the possibility of this happening and had even planned to take precautions. However, before she made a move, she learned that someone else had already made a move and failed.

Her brother even looked for her to ask her if she was the culprit. Since she had the idea of acting against Ning Xia, even if she did not make a move in time, it was unconvincing when she tried to defend herself. In the end, she did not dare to act rashly. She held onto the hope that Song Ning would not appear. She even probed Yang Li, and Yang Li had said with much conviction that Song Ning would not be making an appearance. Was she played by Yang Li? She did not doubt Yang Li’s words at that time. After all, she had seen how determined Song Ning was to stay out of the entertainment industry.

Apart from that, there was also the matter with Mu Chen.

Although Mu Chen had said on various occasions that he was married and released a public statement about his marriage, there were many people who did not believe it.

The scandal with Mu Chen she had asked her people to stir up did not completely die down as well, and she did not bother putting a stop to it. After all, she was not willing to concede the position of the Young Madam of the Mu family to Song Ning. She firmly believed that she would be able to win Mu Chen over.

However, all her hopes were dashed today. She knew without a doubt that she had no chance whatsoever with Mu Chen.

From now on, if she tried to create scandals with Mu Chen again, she would be labeled as the third party and would only incur the public’s wrath.

Song Ning was really too ruthless. When Ye Xin thought about these things, she could hardly breathe. Every breath she took hurt her heart. She felt even worse when she saw the people around her being moved to tears as they clapped for the woman she hated.

At this time, she did not even have the strength to hide her emotions. She did not even react when the people on stage left.

It was only when Yang Li came to her to remind her to change her dress did she manage to break free from the sea of despair that almost drowned her.

Without any warning, Ye Xin raised her hand and slapped Yang Li.

Yang Li was stunned.

Even the people in the surroundings were stunned.

Yang Li was a famous manager. Even before she became Ye Xin’s manager, she was already somewhat famous. Earlier, when it was revealed she was also part of Yi Yao’s production team, her status was elevated slightly as well. Who knew as soon as she left the stage she would be slapped by Ye Xin?

The crowd exchanged a look before they tactfully and quietly left.

Under the bright lights, Ye Xin confronted Yang Li. She said through gritted teeth, “You traitor!”

Yang Li smiled bitterly. “I have a clear conscience. I’ve never done anything to harm you. This is all a product of your paranoia.”

Ye Xin said furiously, “Don’t forget who’s paying for your paralyzed mother’s treatment. You’re worse than a dog. At least a dog knows how to be loyal…”

Yang Li lowered her head as tears fell and said quietly, “Right, I’m worse than a dog.”

At this moment, Director Pan strode over to Yang Li’s side and grabbed her. When he saw her swollen face, he asked, “What happened?”

Yang Li hurriedly wiped her tears away and forced a smile on her face. “It’s nothing.”

Director Pan’s gaze fell on Ye Xin.

Ye Xin lifted her chin proudly and fearlessly. Her anger had reached its peak, and she no longer cared what anyone thought. Moreover, she had failed epically this time.. Why should she care about what others thought of her?
