Chapter 55-Entertainment Circle (17)
“Anran, Qingli, it’s so great that you two are alright!” Cui Qianqian smiled her white lotus smile but her eyes were sparkling brightly like she was so happy that she was about to cry. It seems the woman had rehearsed her expression earlier…
With Gu Anran’s eyes, she can see two red dots on Cui Qianqian’s shoulder and then another one on her waist. These were no ordinary dots but ultra-small cameras.
As for why only Gu Anran could see them, it was because of the mechanical scanner that she bought from the system. She guessed that Cui Qianqian might do something like this and that Cui Qianqian’s phone was probably also recording them.
And so….how should we irritate her? But first, let’s get rid of these annoying things.
Gu Anran winked at Hong Qingyi whose eyes swept across Cui Qianqian’s body and then nodded. Cui Qianqian didn’t seem to mind their silence and continued,
“QIngli, I’m really happy that you’re fine now! Let’s continue to work hard together!” Cui Qianqian grabbed Mu Qingli’s hands and smiled.
“Ah…en.” Mu Qingli felt uncomfortable and nodded, not facing Cui Qianqian directly. Knowing that this person had hurt Anran, she couldn’t suppress her anger but had to restrain it temporarily for Anran’s sake. At the very least, she wouldn’t reveal her feelings in front of Cui Qianqian.
“Miss Cui, why don’t you come and sit here! Come, come!” Hong Qingyi walked over with a smile and then put her hands on Cui Qianqian’s shoulders and pressed down deliberately (but it seemed unintentional to everyone else. She pushed Cui Qianqian to sit on the sofa and then backed off.
Hmmm….the red dots on both shoulders have disappeared. Gu Anran nodded at Hong Qingyi at an angle that Cui Qianqian could not see.
“Alright, let me get some tea for you guys.” Hong Qingyi smiled and dragged the Chi Mengyan who was gritting her teeth at Cui Qianqian with her.
“Calm down.”
“But I can’t help but want to punch her when I see that hypocritical expression on her face!” Chi Mengyan said angrily.
“Rust me, you will be able to scold her in a bold and open manner later.” Hong Qingyi patted Chi Mengyan on the shoulder and walked back with the tea under Chi Mengyan’s doubting gaze.
“This…Qingli, Sister Gu, do you mind giving me your private contacts? It’s so difficult to contact you without your private numbers! And everyone wants to celebrate with you after you get discharged!” Cui Qianqian said and then took out her phone.
“Shouldn’t Director Li be in charge of something like this.” Gu Anran asked, but nodded happily at Cui Qianqian mobile phone. With the perpetrator taking out the phone, they had fewer steps to do.
“That’s because it’s supposed to be a small and private party. And Director Li is very busy so I was chosen to inform Sister Gu instead.” If I tell you to give it to me, then give it to me! Why are you acting all high and might for? If I give your personal number to Mr. Gao, my position will be greatly improved in his heart! Just wait until your reputation falls, then your position will belong to me! Thinking like this, Cui Qianqian’s unnatural smile became sweeter as she could already see her bright future.
But will her plans work? The answer is: of course not!
Hot tea spilled above her and fell directly on her phone and her waist also received some damage as Hong Qingyi bumped into her.
“Ah–!” Cui Qianqian shouted miserably.
“What are you doing!” Turning her head to look at the culprit, she let out a furious roar.
“Miss Cui what do you mean by this? I just stumbled accidentally.” Hong Qingyi shrugged, looking not in the least apologetic. Her posture was straight and still, only a fool would believe that she tripped!
“You…you….” Cui Qianqian pointed at Hong Qingyi speechlessly. Her three cameras were ruined so effortlessly! Those cameras were specially made as they were so small and light. They cost upwards of tens of thousands! Just thinking about it made her distressed! And her phone was the latest model! She must be reimbursed! She must get revenge!
“Miss Cui…” Gu Anran began.
Cui Qianqian had lost almost all ability to think logically at having her precious things ruined and yet was unaware that her false front had been seen through already. She heard Gu Anran’s words and immediately remembered that this person was Gu Anran’s manager and so Gu Anran would not idly sit by and do nothing. Thinking like this, she turned around, her face all weeping and pitiful.
“Sister Gu, your agent actually treats me so harshly! You have to give me justice!” Cui Qianqian said while wiping her tears.
Wo Cao! She changed her face so fast! Gu Anran felt speechless.
“Really? But my manager didn’t do anything wrong….” Gu Anran propped her head against her hand and played with her hair, a lazy voice spilling out of her mouth. Even with an expressionless face, she still made people’s hearts race.
“Sister Gu, what do you mean by this?” Cui Qianqian said in a disbelieving tone. This was not how she thought this would play out. Shouldn’t Gu Anran be teaching this stupid and vulgar manager a lesson?
“Shouldn’t we be asking you this? Miss Cui?” Hong Qingyi walked in front of Cui Qianqian.
“You! You hurt me maliciously! I ask that you please apologize immediately! Otherwise, I will see you in court!” Cui Qianqian said angrily.
“Aiya~ How serious~” Hong Qingyi’s eyes widened in mock fear, her mouth quivering. Her expression was basically saying ‘Aiya~ I’m sooo afraid~’ but in a sarcastic manner.
“You! What are you doing! I will report you!” Cui Qianqian roared furiously. Never had anyone treated her like this before! Even if it was fake, everyone still treated her with some respect!
“Oh? And what evidence does Miss Cui have?” Hong Qingyi shrugged.
“Evidence? Just look at the back of my hand…” Cui Qianqian’s eyes widened at the sight of her hands. There were no red marks on her hand and in fact, it didn’t look like she was injured at all. If it weren’t for the stinging sensation she felt, she would think everything had been an illusion!
“Where are you hurt? Do you hurt the back of your hand?” Hong Qingyi asked doubtfully.
“You….my waist!” Cui Qianqian said and lifted her jacket. However, just like her arm, there were no red marks and only pain! What was going on?
“Miss Cui, what exactly do you mean? I didn’t do anything! What are you trying to defame me again and again?” Hong Qingyi frowned with arms folded while Cui Qianqian said nothing.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, how shameless! Under normal circumstances, human skin should burn bright red but with no blisters at 60 degrees. However, Hong Qingyi had specifically maintained the temperature at 50 degrees and although the skin would turn red, it would quickly disappear and would leave no evidence only a few seconds later. As for the waist, Hong Qingyi had hit it with a technique that left no trace but left the victim suffering for a few days.
“Qingyi, leave that for later, let’s talk some business first.” Gu Anran waved.
“Sister Gu….” Cui Qianqian thought that Gu Anran was helping her and felt touched but was interrupted by Gu Anran shortly.
“What is your purpose in bringing in those cameras?” Gu Anran went straight to the point.
“S-Sister Gu, what are you talking about? W-What camera?” Cui Qianiqan couldn’t believe she was found out so quickly but forced herself to stay calm. As long as she acted dumb, Gu Anran could not do anything to her.
“Oh? Then forgive me in advance for being rude.” Gu Anran raised an eyebrow and glanced at Hong Qingyi.
Hong Qingyi immediately stepped forward and picked at Cui Qianqian’s clothes before taking out the wreckage of the cameras.
“Ah-!” Cui Qianqian madly wanted to take the camera back from Hong Qingyi, but of course, it was impossible. When Hong Qingyi pushed her, she instead fell to the ground.
“Miss Cui, do you have anything else to say?” Gu Anran asked.
“I didn’t know anything about this. I didn’t even know this was on my body.” Cui Qianqian shook her head.
“But your movements and the weird way you were moving prove that your words are false.” Gu Anran raised both eyebrows.
“I really didn’t know.”
“Forge it, this doesn’t matter anyway. Instead, I want to ask Miss Cui if you feel the results of your meticulous plans, your staged accident, are unsatisfactory?” Twirling her hair, Gu Anran asked casually as if the person who was injured was not her but someone else entirely.
However, to Cui Qianqian these words were like a thunderbolt under a clear blue sky, leaving her to guess how did Gu Anran know?
“You…you don’t have any evidence.” Cui Qianqian stammered.
“Evidence…I have lots of it~ Including evidence of your relationship with Gao Studios. Do you want me to tell you everything you’ve done to your victims during your time as an actress? Or do you not want me to tell you and you want me to show you the video or audio file instead? Which one do you want?”
This was the first time Gu Anran had said so much to her and instead of feeling proud and self-satisfied, the content of this paragraph made her feel unhappy and bitter. It can be said she was feeling like she was in a hell of despair.
“You…what do you want to do?!” Cui Qianqian stopped with the false pretenses and growled with a twisted expression.
“Nothing, however, if these things are exposed to the public…. I don’t know what will happen.” Gu Anran shrugged.
“No, no, I beg you, I’ll do anything!” Cui Qianqian pleaded.
“You’ll do anything?” Gu Anran raised her eyebrows, and her action also caused Cui Qianqian’s hopes to rise but her next sentence made her truly desperate. Forcing her to walk out of the ward without her soul as Gu Anran’s voice echoed in her head,
“You are not qualified to do anything for me. Wait a little longer, I will let you taste the same pain as the people you hurt went through.”
