C19 Not Afraid of Me Complaining!

The more Shuyi thought about it, the more justified she felt, and her anger grew. She shoved Manrong out the door, saying, "Get out! Until the company issue is resolved, don't even think about stepping foot in this house!"

Jingming had already learned the truth online. Watching his mother kick Manrong out, he wanted to say something, but the image of her at the press conference, laughing and whispering with Feibai, flashed in his mind. His lips pressed into a tight line.

Before the heavy door of the house slammed shut, Manrong managed to catch a glimpse of Jingming's face. His expression was clear: disgust, indifference, and apathy.

A cold laugh bubbled up inside her, and she suddenly lost the desire to explain. She turned and walked away.

As she considered booking a room at a nearby hotel for the night, a voice called out from the street, "Get in."

Manrong looked over to see a familiar Maybach. Inside, a strikingly handsome man with a mischievous smile was looking at her, his gaze warm like sunshine.

Feibai had insisted she stay at his place, claiming an early morning shoot would make hotel accommodations inconvenient for fulfilling her duties as per their agreement.

Thinking about how she had just tidied up the guest room that day, Manrong raised an eyebrow but said nothing, silently agreeing.

To her surprise, the next day, Feibai took her to the film set, handing her clothes, a thermos, and other items, treating her like a personal assistant.

Feibai's original assistant, Xiao Huang, looked on in horror and despair, fearing for his job.

"Manrong, what are you doing here?" A woman in a period costume blocked Manrong's path, her aggressive demeanor ruining her otherwise graceful appearance.

Qin Manrong raised an eyebrow, realizing it was Lyi Jing.

Before she could speak, Yan Feibai chimed in with a smile, "I invited Miss Qin to visit the set. She recommended someone for a role a few days ago, but I was concerned about their acting skills potentially affecting the production's reputation. So, I asked her to come and take a look."

His smile was as warm as a spring breeze, one that could captivate any woman, but Lyi Jing felt a chill down her spine.

She never understood why Yan Feibai suddenly started being nice to her, offering her a role. She was secretly thrilled, considering whether to seize the opportunity to get closer to him. Little did she know, it was all for Qin Manrong!

Qin Manrong noticed the drastic change in Lyi Jing's expression and smirked inwardly, while maintaining a pleasant demeanor. "Yes, since I recommended the person, I have to see it through. If it doesn't work out, we can always replace them. There are plenty of young, eager actors waiting in line."

Feeling both ashamed and embarrassed, Lyi Jing trembled with anger. Taking advantage of Yan Feibai stepping away to get his makeup done, she glared at Qin Manrong with a threatening tone, "Qin Manrong, aren't you afraid I'll tell Jingming about your ambiguous relationship with Yan Feibai?"

Qin Manrong couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Lyi, your relationship with Gu Jingming isn't just ambiguous, is it? You're not afraid of me knowing, even making it to the trending topics, right? As for whether I'm afraid, I honestly don't know. Why don't you give it a try?"

She shrugged nonchalantly, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Just be careful you can handle the consequences. Like coming back to find your role suddenly recast or something..."
