Chapter 257: Refuse to Admit Death

Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Refuse to Admit Death

Facing Ye Zhenzhen’s on-the-spot confrontation, Han Jiangxue’s inner defense had already crumbled; she looked towards Lin Qianqian with a pale face, her expression the epitome of grievance, "Qianqian, I told you not to say anything, do you even know what you’re talking about? We’re still recording the show right now.

There’s no issue of stealing or not stealing between Zhenzhen and me. Aren’t you aware of our relationship, when others aren’t?"

Lin Qianqian: "I... Xiao Xue, I’m just trying to help you, aren’t I?"

To be honest, Lin Qianqian was a bit confused at this moment, seeing Han Jiangxue’s demeanor and hearing the tone of her voice. Before participating in the variety show, she remembered clearly the words Han Jiangxue had spoken to her in the Lemon Channel’s makeup room. Was this tone now implying blame?

At that moment, Xu Wanjia, holding Xiao Yiyi and An Xi, also came over. They saw the three people standing in the snow talking, their expressions not looking too good, so they slowly approached.

Ye Zhenzhen sneered with a trace of sharpness in her eyes, looking at Lin Qianqian, "Let me guess what Han Jiangxue said to you back then..."

Lin Qianqian wanted to say something but was pulled back by Xu Wanjia.

Han Jiangxue’s face looked even more aggrieved, giving off a very sincere illusion, "Zhenzhen, no need to say more, this is all my fault. There might have been some misunderstandings, I apologize to you, none of this has anything to do with you..."

Right now, she just hoped that Ye Zhenzhen and Lin Qianqian would stop talking about this matter!

And there was An Xi, who claimed to be her friend, but now didn’t say a single word.

An Xi thought to herself, this had nothing to do with her; she was still unclear about what was going on, so naturally, she wasn’t going to speak.

Ye Zhenzhen’s expression grew colder as she stared at the slight changes on Han Jiangxue’s face, interrupting immediately, "Stop! Why are you apologizing to me? Just now Qianqian said you were helping me. According to that logic, it shouldn’t be you apologizing to me; I should be thanking you.

Also, don’t try that with me and don’t act. Some things still need to be made clear between us, face-to-face. We are live right now; this is perfect, the audience here and the netizens watching the live stream can all bear witness!"

Previously, Ye Zhenzhen felt that after arriving in this world, she was a newcomer in the entertainment industry. Han Jiangxue had stolen her role, and naturally, she was very angry and incredibly displeased.

And she soon signed on to a new script by Xia Zhi, with collaborators being Director Da Yang and Xiao Yi.

In the spirit of making a good impression on her newly-signed partners and maintaining a low profile as a newcomer to the industry, she did not rush to hold Han Jiangxue accountable—after all, such incidents of roles being snatched away were common in the industry.

But unexpectedly, without her having settled accounts with Han Jiangxue yet, the latter had already scripted and directed this drama. Now, with her ruse about to be exposed, she began to play the victim and act magnanimous in front of her.

Her ghostly demeanor seemed to suggest that Han Jiangxue had helped Ye Zhenzhen, yet the latter was ungrateful, and moreover, constantly targeting her.

It was downright ridiculous!

[Bravo! Truly worthy of being our Sister Zhenzhen, Ms. Ye Jianjian (this is meant in a positive way), come on, your true fans will always support you!]

[Hahaha, I can tell that the one above really wants to survive!]

[What’s happening, is Ye Jianjian bullying our little Xiao Xue again?]

[At times like this, I suggest that some idiotic fans should stay as far away from me as possible!]

[Zhenzhen, speak up, let us all judge, hahaha!]

After hearing Ye Zhenzhen’s words, Han Jiangxue felt a sudden wrench in her heart, her toes curled up tightly with nervousness, and she clenched them invisibly, her voice turning into a sob, "Zhenzhen, I don’t know why, but you’ve always been so hostile toward me... We... We are all in the same circle, and the children get along so well, I really like you..."

At this moment, inside Han Jiangxue deeply resented Lin Qianqian, Why bring this up out of the blue!

Right now, she just hoped that Ye Zhenzhen and Lin Qianqian, these two fools, would quickly shut up and let the matter pass, and when there were no cameras around, she’d be ready to deal with whatever came at her.

The filming crew, witnessing such a scene, quickly adjusted their cameras. After all, in a variety show, the greatest fear is the lack of topics, and this program never stirred up trouble— it was always the guests themselves.

With such great material at hand, as members of the production team, they naturally wouldn’t miss this excellent opportunity.

Xu Wanjia couldn’t stand it anymore, she stood up for Ye Zhenzhen, "Xiao Xue, since you say you really like Zhenzhen, then what about you bringing Sixty Million to the production team to snatch the role of the second female lead from Zhenzhen?

[Whoa, whoa! There were rumors on Weibo that Han Jiangxue funded her way into the cast to steal Ye Zhenzhen’s role, and I didn’t believe it, but it turns out to be true!]

[As everyone knows, Best Actress Xu has seldom appeared overseas in recent years, but her reputation and character in the industry are still trustworthy; she wouldn’t speak without basis.]

[Previously, there were online statements saying Ye Zhenzhen was acting like a prima donna, citing a scheduling conflict, turns out she was directly ousted by Han Jiangxue’s money!]

[One uses money to snatch roles, the other uses money to repair schools, think carefully, who deserves our affection more?]

[I’ve said it before, our Zhenzhen is worthy!]

Han Jiangxue’s tears flowed even harder, she defended herself, "Sister Jiajia, I didn’t..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian’s expression froze; she looked at Xu Wanjia, "Jiajia, is that true?"

Ye Zhenzhen sneered at Han Jiangxue, then asked Lin Qianqian, "According to what you just said, I’m guessing Han Jiangxue told you that Little Director Yang initially approached her for the role of the second female in ’Ren Pingsheng.’"

"And then, she meets me in the production team, and tells Director Yang to let me play it? But on the day of the costume trial, I suddenly back out, refusing to act anymore, and immediately after I turn around to sign a movie script?"

"I did not!" Han Jiangxue continued to defend herself, her voice rising.

Seeing Han Jiangxue still playing the victim and denying she ever said those things, Lin Qianqian felt irritated. Han Jiangxue says she didn’t speak of it, meaning what, that all this was Lin Qianqian’s doing?

She was inciting trouble between Ye Zhenzhen and her, Han Jiangxue, was that it?

Is she joking, this woman!

Lin Qianqian nodded earnestly, then said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Yes, Zhenzhen, that’s exactly what Han Jiangxue said to me in the makeup room that day. She also said that after your live broadcast was attacked by trolls, it was actually her who contacted Qing Qing to help you clear things up with a Weibo post."

Just now, she was calling Han Jiangxue "Xiao Xue," but she’s quickly changed her address; this shows that she no longer believes Han Jiangxue.

From what Xu Wanjia and Ye Zhenzhen had said, Lin Qianqian could conclude that she had been played by Han Jiangxue.

"Qianqian! What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever say those things to you? We’re all friends, why do you lash out with accusations?" At a time like this, the only thing Han Jiangxue could do was to vehemently deny everything.
