Chapter 917 Natural
Ye Meng encouraged Liyi Danfeng to make a big fuss, so she was secretly overjoyed. Right when she was about to sleep, she heard a commotion.
A huge group of people had barged into the house, and apart from the director and the staff, she didn't know who the rest of the burly men were.
At that moment, Ning Ran was helplessly watching the burly men carrying her luggage out. "What's going on? It's late, and we need to sleep!” Ye Meng complained.
“Shut the f*ck up, b*tch! Otherwise, I'm going to beat you up!” Qiao Zhan pointed his finger at Ye Meng.
Ye Meng saw red. I'm a superstar! How dare that man talk to me that way?
"Who are you? Why did you barge into my house? I'm calling the police!” Ye Meng roared.
Hearing that, Ning Ran urged, “Calm down, Meng. Nan Chen sent them here to fetch me. We're leaving soon, so please excuse us.”
Ye Meng was stunned. She's leaving? How about our show tomorrow?
“You're leaving? Are you serious? It was a small matter,” Ye Meng uttered.
"How could you say it was a small matter when Madam was hit? Do you want me to slap you so that you'll know how it feels?” Qiao Zhan fumed.
Ye Meng backed down the moment she found out those strangers were sent by the Nan family. Hence, she uttered in a polite tone, “I didn't mean it that way. It's just that since we've already settled the issue, I think we should just let it slide. After all, fate brought us together to film the show.”
“What's with the noise? Are you guys done?” Liyi Danfeng showed up. She had already gone to bed prior to that after she assaulted someone and vented her anger.
“Are you the one who hit Madam?” Qiao Zhan pointed at Liyi Danfeng.
“So what if I did? Because of her, the netizens are against me!” Liyi Danfeng argued in a spoiled manner.
“Go on! Beat that b*tch up!” Qiao Zhan ordered his subordinates.
Seeing that, Ning Ran immediately stopped the men. “Let's just forget about it. I don't want to watch men beating a girl up.”
“Madam, why are you defending her after she bullied you?"
Liyi Danfeng heard how the subordinate addressed Ning Ran, so she mocked, “Madam? What the f*ck? Why are you guys addressing her so? The only thing she knows how to do is cook! So what if I hit her? If any one of you dares to lay a finger on me, I'm calling the police!”
Liyi Danfeng then walked up to Ning Ran and said, “Don't stop your men! Let them hit me! I have millions of fans. Let's see if these men dare to hit me.”
“Liyi Danfeng, I'm giving you a chance to back away, so you'd better take it. What makes you think these men wouldn't dare to hit you? You're merely a trending celebrity. If you were a member of the royal family, they still wouldn't think twice before beating you up!” Ning Ran uttered coldly.
“Ha! Are you trying to scare me? Fine! I'll just give you a slap and see what they can do about it! I can't stand the look on your face!”
At that moment, Liyi Danfeng was acting like a totally different person. When she first arrived, she was a sweet girl, but within a day of filming, she started to show her true colors.
As soon as she finished talking, she immediately raised her palm into the air.
Slap!
This time around, Ning Ran gave Liyi Danfeng a tight slap across the face before Liyi Danfeng could strike.
"How dare you slap me? I...” Liyi Danfeng was livid, and she was getting ready to strike back. However, she lost her balance after Ning Ran shoved her. Consequently, Ning Ran slapped her two more times.
“I've been letting you have your way because I thought you were a young celebrity, and I didn't want to affect your growth in the industry. Yet, you're taking advantage of my kindness! Do you really think I was a pushover? I let you off the hook the last time around, and you thought you could keep pushing me around!” With an icy expression on her face, Ning Ran slapped Liyi Danfeng once again.
Liyi Danfeng was baffled because she didn't expect Ning Ran to be so ferocious.
After slapping Liyi Danfeng, Ning Ran pointed at her and scolded, “How dare you take advantage of me? You need to be taught a lesson!”
Qiao Zhan and Wang Xiaoou were dumbfounded. Wow! Madam is a fierce woman! Did she become like this because she had spent too much time with Sir Chen?
Initially, Ning Ran didn't want to go on the offensive because she thought she could just bear with it.
However, Nan Chen sent Qiao Zhan there, and Nan Chen wanted the perpetrator to get beaten up. If Ning Ran were to stand idly by, Qiao Zhan and the rest would still be furious, and that wouldn't solve the problem.
Besides, Qiao Zhan had always had a terrible temper. He was instructed by Nan Chen to protect Ning Ran, but she was assaulted.
In other words, Qiao Zhan was embarrassed because he failed at his job.
If Qiao Zhan didn't return Liyi Danfeng the favor that night, he would have trouble reporting back to Nan Chen.
In that case, Qiao Zhan was bound to have a go at Liyi Danfeng.
If that were to happen, one could only imagine how severe the aftermath would be.
With that knowledge in mind, Ning Ran decided to take matters into her own hands. After all, the show is done for, and the relationships have soured. I don't have anything to lose. Nan Chen had never been one to take half-measures. If he's already furious, I'll only make him feel worse if I keep playing nice. In addition, Liyi Danfeng has crossed the line, and she thinks she can do whatever she wants now that she's famous. If I don't teach her a lesson, it's just a matter of time before she lands in hot water. There are a lot of bad people in the entertainment industry. If she ends up offending the ones who play dirty, she'll face far worse consequences.
After those few slaps, Ning Ran kept her belongings and left.
Under everyone's gaze, Ning Ran left Ye Meng's house in the middle of the night.
No one dared to stop her because they knew they would most certainly fail.
Upon exiting the elevator, Ning Ran smiled bitterly and said, “Well, that was fun. Who would've thought that the show would end this way?”
"Once the movie becomes a hit, you have plenty of similar shows waiting for you! In fact, you'll get invited to even better reality shows!” Wang Xiaoou comforted Ning Ran
In response, Ning Ran heaved a sigh and said, “Considering how big of a mess this is, I don't even know what the netizens are going to say about me tomorrow. The reception of the movie will definitely get affected!”
“Don't worry. The public relations team at Star Entertainment knows what to do. In fact, they're already working on it now,” Wang Xiaoou replied.
“Calm down, Madam. Sir Chen said it doesn't matter what happens to the movie. The cost of hundreds of millions means nothing to him. Worse comes to worst, let's just quit the entertainment industry!” Qiao Zhan remarked. I don't get why Madam wants to go through the trouble. She can live a comfortable life without having to work. Sir Chen can afford to give her whatever she wants in life anyway!
“I'm not quitting. If I quit because of this, I'm nothing but a coward. Besides, I did nothing wrong!” Ning Ran uttered.
Wang Xiaoou and Cheng Xiangyun chimed in, “That's right! Why should we quit? Liyi Danfeng is at fault, so she should quit!”
Wang Xiaoou and Cheng Xiangyun didn't think it was wise for Ning Ran to quit the entertainment industry.
Ning Ran was obviously talented in filming, and her career was only picking up.
As her agents, Wang Xiaoou and Cheng Xiangyun were looking forward to making Ning Ran the best actress in the country.
If Ning Ran were to quit and become a housewife, Wang Xiaoou and Cheng Xiangyun would also need to look out for new opportunities.
Wang Xiaoou wouldn't have a problem doing that because she was one of the best talent agents in the market. She wouldn't have a problem finding a new talent to work with.
Cheng Xiangyun, on the other hand, was relying on Ning Ran to make a comeback.
Hence, it was only natural that she wouldn't support the idea of letting Ning Ran quit the entertainment industry.
