From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 774: 391 Wronged_3

The dazzling Milky Way, paled in comparison to the charms of the young girl’s dress.

With ripples and waves like lotus flowers, she walked, as if she were a celestial being.

Everyone had forgotten how to spell the word breathtaking.

The actresses who were previously unwilling to admit defeat silently swallowed their bitterness and withdrew their hands to adjust their shoulder straps.

Competing with her in beauty was like asking for trouble.

Ming Jing walked onto the stage, and Wen Na immediately pulled her next to Qu Feitai. A group of people shifted their gazes between the two, including Wen Na herself, who harbored ulterior motives.

To their surprise, the two of them seemed rather distant and maintained a polite and friendly distance. The crowd exchanged questioning glances.

Could the rumors have been wrong?

The two of them didn’t seem like a couple at all; they were too calm and restrained.

“Everyone, look over here.” The photographer bent down and raised his arm, signaling for everyone’s attention.

Qu Feitai caught a faint whiff of a haunting scent at the tip of his pen, and in that moment, his entire body froze.

It was a fragrance that belonged solely to her, the scent that lingered in his mind during countless midnight dreams, refusing to fade away.

That scent was like a curse, shattering all of his self-control, leaving him utterly defeated.

No matter the tempest raged in his heart, he knew that she would always remain elegant and composed. Nothing and nobody in this world could ever make her lose her poise.

He loved her ruthless nature, and he hated it too.

With the photographer’s countdown of three, two, one, the moment was forever captured.

Zhao Ninghan was the first to leave with a sour expression, unable to stay any longer.

As soon as she left the stage, her manager glared at her fiercely, “You really messed things up tonight.”

Zhao Ninghan shrugged carelessly, “The company said they can handle any problem for me, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Her manager retorted impatiently, “Do you think the company can do everything for you? This is Jiangzhou, and you’re competing with the Rans’ miss for a seat, what were you thinking?”

The more her manager spoke, the angrier she got. After looking into the Rans, she was shocked by the astonishing background and now wanted to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.

Zhao Ninghan still had not realized the seriousness of the situation and said casually, “Who cares about Miss Ran? Jiangzhou is just a small place with a mere three acres of land. I don’t want to come back here ever again; it’s too humid and cloudy, it’s annoying.”

Her manager was speechless, taking out her phone and showed Zhao Ninghan a forum post about the Rans: “If you can still say that after reading this, I’ll salute you for being a tough woman.”

After the group photo was taken, everyone went their separate ways. Ming Xin approached Ming Jing, linking her arm, “Let’s go have some late-night snacks. I’m hungry.”

In order to fit into the little black dress, she hadn’t eaten carbs for half a month. Indulging once in a while wouldn’t hurt.

Ming Jing smiled and nodded, “What do you want to eat?”

The two chatted and walked towards the exit.

Qu Feitai stood in place, watching her retreating figure, and sighed deeply.

Zhou Zhengru patted him on the shoulder and laughed, “I heard you’re quite familiar with Jiangzhou, and I’m hungry too, so let’s go for a late-night snack.”

Qu Feitai glanced at the disappearing figures of Ming Jing and Ming Xin and nodded unconsciously, “Let’s go.”

At this moment, a large number of reporters were waiting outside the venue. The two left from the back door, changed into casual clothes in the car, informed Wen Na, and drove away.

Online, chaos had already erupted.

Former leading actress Zhao Ninghan had done a series of disgusting things tonight. She first stole Ming Jing’s seat, then clung to Qu Feitai with an unattractive demeanor, and finally openly sulked during the group photo. It was a shocking and disappointing spectacle, shattering the filters that had once protected her image.

Even before the event ended, her negative reputation soared on the trending search list, as fans and haters flooded the forums to criticize her. People started to question if she had really done something unforgivable.

In the entertainment industry, even the slightest imperfections can be greatly magnified. If an idol fails to meet their fans’ expectations, it leaves a crack in their unblemished jade image that can never be healed no matter how hard they try.

Zhao Ninghan had always been fearless with the company’s support in the past, but now that she realized she had crossed Miss Ran and understood the power of the Ran family, her feelings turned to fear.

She desperately tried to comfort herself, thinking that it was broad daylight and surely the Rans couldn’t openly retaliate against her, could they?

However, just before she left the venue, she received a call from the company’s higher-ups.

Either she terminated her contract voluntarily or she would be permanently frozen in the industry.

Zhao Ninghan could hardly believe it, “Mr. Li, I’m Zhao Ninghan, the A-list actress Zhao Ninghan! I’ve earned so much money for the company over the years, how can you treat me like this?”

“Do you know who the biggest shareholder of our company is? It’s Master Xiao of Jiangzhou. Just now, his subordinate called me. You’ve managed to upset his niece, a young lady with a kind heart who doesn’t wish to bicker with others. Yet, he can’t bear to see his niece suffer injustice. Zhao Ninghan, do you know who you’ve messed with?”
