Chapter 2009: Think About How to Deal With Me Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios She was embarrassed and angry. “Ye Qingqiu!” “Do you feel embarrassed?” Ye Qingqiu shook her numb hand. “Since you’re so shameless, why do you always do shameless things?” “You’re a lunatic!” Liang Xuer gritted her teeth. Ye Qingqiu’s phone rang again. It was Li Tingshen. She hung up again. When she looked up again, the smile on her face slowly faded. “There are still many scores to settle between us, yet you’re finding trouble with me again. If you have the ability, look for me directly. Doing some tricks isn’t smart, but cowardly. Do you understand?” Seeing that something had happened, the director hurriedly walked over. “Miss Ye, this is the film set. There are too many people and it won’t be good if word gets out.” “The impact won’t be bad for me. I didn’t do anything wrong. Your drama and the trashy actors you found can only be bad for you.” She glanced sideways at the director and said, “I have an old score to settle with her, but I won’t cause trouble in your territory. This time, she was the one who provoked me. It was indeed unkind of you to recruit her, so I don’t intend to give you face.” The director had never been criticized so bluntly by a little girl before. He felt a little embarrassed. However, he couldn’t afford to offend the little princess of the Ye family and Li Tingshen’s girlfriend. She must have come here out of jealousy. “It’s a private matter. Can you come down first…” “It’s not a private matter.” Ye Qingqiu said calmly, “She’s not qualified to play this role. I want to remove her.” The director paused. “But this…” But this was someone that CEO Li had personally shoved in. Liang Xuer’s sharp voice suddenly sounded, “Ye Qingqiu, what right do you have?!” “Because you don’t know how to act? Because you used this role to deliberately disgust me? Because I’m Ye Qingqiu? What right do you think I have?” Liang Xuer was trembling with anger. “When will you be done?! How can you completely disappear from my sight?!” Ye Qingqiu’s exquisite eyes suddenly darkened. “Have you not suffered enough slaps today? Your ability to reverse right and wrong seems extremely shameless, Liang Xuer. Don’t think about pretending to be innocent in front of others and making me look vicious. The entire Ping Cheng City has labeled me as Ye Qingqiu. Do you think I’m afraid of this word?” The director was confused. “Miss Ye, it’s not good with so many people around. Can we talk in the lounge…” “I have nothing to say. Just one thing. Dismiss her.” The director held his forehead and said, “Miss Ye, don’t make things difficult for me…” Ye Qingqiu thought for a while and nodded. “Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you. I saw that the other side of her face was swollen and asymmetrical. I’ve fixed it for you. Will she be unable to film today?” The director was speechless. Liang Xuer’s eyes widened. Ye Qingqiu looked at Liang Xuer again and rubbed her wrist. “Do you want to withdraw yourself or do you want me to help you?” “Ye Qingqiu… are you crazy? I didn’t provoke you!” Ye Qingqiu smiled and turned to look at the director who had mixed feelings. “She said that she didn’t provoke me?” The director felt a little innocent. Before he could react, Liang Xuer was slapped again. There was a sudden gasp. This slap was brilliant. She was caught off guard. There was no smile on Ye Qingqiu’s face. Her cold expression seemed to be covered with a layer of visible ice. “It’s my first time acting and I’ve just received this role. Is it new?” This was what Liang Xuer had just said. Ye Qingqiu repeated it to her word for word before continuing, “You received a role without understanding the character. Don’t you think it should be novel? If you don’t understand, why do you like this role when there are so many roles in this drama?” Since she wanted to use Li Tingshen to climb up the ranks, wouldn’t it be better for her to have a female lead? Liang Xuer, before you play tricks on me, can you check if your brain is on your neck? Or do you think I’m too stupid? No way, right? Aren’t you doing this to let me know? Since you’re sincere in wanting to disgust me, why did I hit you today? The people around them blinked as if they understood. The director frowned and guessed, “Miss Ye, you… know Luo Luo?” Ye Qingqiu sneered. “Did you see that? Those who don’t know can guess correctly.” Liang Xuer’s face paled. The onlookers began to whisper. “Ye Qingqiu, don’t go overboard.” Ye Qingqiu looked at her stubborn and arrogant expression and laughed in anger. “I’ve wronged you.” Ye Qingqiu’s tone was as casual as hers. “I have a bad reputation in Ping Cheng City. At least eight out of ten people have discussed me…” Her gaze lazily swept across the people around her. “Did I bully you?” Embarrassment flashed across someone’s face. They pursed their lips and remained silent. She didn’t know if Ye Qingqiu was right, but they had indeed mentioned her in private. “Everyone knows that I’m not a good person, but I don’t have to make things difficult for anyone. Why do I have to bully you? Do you think that after all these years of living in the Ye family, my heart aches for that bit of food? Or are you affecting my status in the Ye family?” Ye Qingqiu smiled sarcastically and said, “The Ye family doesn’t lack money. I won’t say a word about taking care of you for the rest of my life. I can’t be bothered to take a single cent of the Ye Corporation’s shares. I won’t bicker with you about money and profits. Why do you think I don’t like you? Don’t pretend to be innocent in front of me. You’re scheming and disgusting behind my back. You want a good reputation and want to defame me? Do you think I’m short of you?” The people present were all people who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time. They had seen many battles and schemes. Who couldn’t understand Ye Qingqiu’s words? However, Liang Xuer had kicked an iron plate. He had nothing to lose. Ye Qingqiu was born at the top. No matter how bad her reputation was, no one could affect her life. Such a person should not be offended. It wasn’t just Liang Xuer. No one should be thinking about her. Liang Xuer couldn’t say a word. From the day she met Ye Qingqiu, she had never held an advantage over her. “Do you want me to continue? Tell me why you want to disgust me?” They thought that they had watched enough of this and should leave. However, Ye Qingqiu’s words piqued the curiosity of others. Liang Xuer clenched her fists so tightly that her face turned pale. “If I really say the reason, what do you think you’ll face next?” Seeing Liang Xuer’s pale face, the sneer on Ye Qingqiu’s face gradually darkened. “Either you give up this role or I’ll tell everyone the reason. I’ll give you a choice.” What kind of choice was this? Even if she gave up her role, wouldn’t that mean that she had tacitly agreed? Ye Qingqiu had something on her. How sharp were the paparazzi’s noses? She wasn’t famous now, but once she became famous in the future, she would suffer even more if her ‘black history’ was dug out. “You’re not letting me?” Ye Qingqiu looked at her coldly. “Alright, you might be a mistress. Breaking up someone’s marriage is nothing to you.” With a bang, the surroundings instantly became noisy. Liang Xuer panicked instantly. “What nonsense are you spouting?!” Ye Qingqiu smiled and raised her left hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. The ordinary-looking platinum ring on her ring finger instantly attracted Liang Xuer’s attention. The director, who was closest to them, also saw it. Surprise flashed across his eyes. However, she disappeared soon after. Miss Ye had just turned 18 this year and had yet to reach the legal age to get married. She only had a couple ring. However, he also understood that Liang Xuer had designs on CEO Li. After living in the Ye family for so many years, Liang Xuer, who was well-versed in money and power, said with trembling lips, “You guys…” “Ye Qingqiu.” Before Liang Xuer could finish speaking, a low and cold voice sounded. Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the man beside her. Her lips curled into a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “Aren’t you busy?” The director looked at the onlookers and walked to the side with a cold expression. “Are you done with your work?” She was obviously chasing them away. Upon hearing that, everyone left the studio. Li Tingshen looked at her calmly. “What are you doing here?” Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “Let’s see how outstanding an actor with good acting skills is.” Li Tingshen looked at her coldly. “Just looking?” “Are you blind? Can’t you see her swollen face?” The director was stunned. As expected of the little princess of the Ye family, she was really… impressive. Liang Xuer bit her lips tightly and felt a burning pain on her cheeks. Li Tingshen didn’t react to Ye Qingqiu’s words. “Are you done?” “I’m done watching.” She tilted her head slightly to look at him. “She’s someone who can NG five to six times even when she has facial paralysis. You’re saying that her acting skills are good?” She laughed lightly and said, “Do you want to consider changing your investment direction? With your judgment, no amount of money is enough for you to compensate.” Li Tingshen’s calm face finally moved slightly as he glanced at the director. “Ye Qingqiu.” Li Tingshen fixed his gaze on her face. “You shouldn’t be thinking about these things now. Even if the money doesn’t return, it has nothing to do with you.” Half of Ye Qingqiu’s face was hidden under the scarf, and she kept smiling at him. “Yan Ze, would you rather spend all this money on her?” Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “If you have to take things to the extreme, I have nothing to say.” “Oh,” Ye Qingqiu replied softly. “It sounds like I’m being unreasonable. Then give me an explanation. Didn’t you say that this drama is very important? Why did you use her? If she had some acting skills, she could have stopped me. But in reality, she didn’t.” “Are you sure that if she really has acting skills, you won’t make a fuss?” “Not really.” Ye Qingqiu replied without any hesitation, “So you clearly know that even if she has acting skills, I can’t accept it. Why do you insist on using her acting skills?” “Li Tingshen, I can make a fuss, but you have to give me a chance to make a fuss with you. I asked you to give me an explanation last night. If your acting is good, don’t mention it. It’s quite funny. I’m not blind.” Seeing that the situation was not good, the director deliberated and said, “Miss Ye, I insisted on using Miss Liang.” “Are you asking me to question your professionalism?” Ye Qingqiu’s words made the director’s face darken. Professional questioning was the bottom line of an international director’s pride. The last thing Liang Xuer wanted to see was Ye Qingqiu being aggressive in front of Li Tingshen. “Ye Qingqiu, I asked him for help…” “Then he agreed? Since he’s so easy to talk to, why don’t you beg him to marry you?” Li Tingshen was still expressionless, but his cold features exuded extreme anger. He was silent as he watched her, waiting for her to kick up a fuss. The most embarrassing secret had been exposed by Ye Qingqiu time and time again. Liang Xuer felt her head buzzing. The thought of making Ye Qingqiu disappear was growing crazily. “Do you really want me to marry her?” After a long while, Li Tingshen suddenly spoke. Ye Qingqiu frowned deeply. Li Tingshen turned his head and looked at Liang Xuer coldly. “Maybe you can try.” Liang Xuer’s heart skipped a beat and she almost suffocated. The few people present even felt that if Liang Xuer asked, Li Tingshen might really agree. Liang Xuer’s heart raced and her breathing quickened. However, she knew that if Li Tingshen really agreed, it was only because Ye Qingqiu had affected his emotions. Ye Qingqiu clenched her fists tightly. Liang Xuer didn’t speak for a long time. Li Tingshen said calmly, “She’s your cousin. My mother raised her for two years and doted on her for two years. She lived with me for two years and called me brother. These are enough to become a lifelong bond. I won’t pretend not to know her, and I won’t sit back and do nothing if she needs my help.” There’s nothing between us now, and I’m certain that there won’t be anything in the future. However, if you keep thinking that there will be something between us, it’s hard to say. I’ll really have something with her in the future.” Her words did not make the two women feel better. Liang Xuer’s face was ashen. Ye Qingqiu looked at him and fell silent for a while before smiling. “Don’t care? What should I do? I just slapped her twice. Are you going to help her? You’ll be busy in the future. I still have a lot of scores to settle with her. Just because she abandoned me and almost got raped by Qin Jianjia, I won’t let her have a good life in this lifetime. You have to think of how to deal with me for her.”
