Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Jiang Yumeng Faces Off Against Liang Mi, Two Big Stars Vying for Favor!

Jiang Yumeng suddenly realized she hadn’t put on any clothes yet. With a yelp, she quickly covered her chest, "Ah, President Lan, it’s not what you think. There’s nothing between Xu Qianli and me; we’re not involved at all."

"Standing there bare-skinned with Xu Qianli and covered in bruises, and you still have the face to say it’s nothing—who would believe that? Do you think I’m an idiot?"

"Alright, alright, you’re both consenting adults, it’s normal. I don’t want to meddle; as long as you’re having fun, that’s good."

"Look at you, you must have had quite the night with Xu Qianli, eh?"

"I used to think you didn’t like men at all. Turns out you’re into top-notch guys, and after all that choosing, you settled on Xu Qianli. You’ve got impressive taste, indeed."

"Spill it, when did the two of you start? Have you been seeing each other on the sly?"

Faced with Lan Mengni’s interrogation, Jiang Yumeng tried to smile, wanting to say something but the words just wouldn’t come out. After all, she was still a bit dazed.

Lan Mengni’s voice came through again, "Okay, okay, if you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. It’s good that you’re by Xu Qianli’s side. Take good care of him, keep him happy, and when I get back, I’ll invest in a big production for you. And Xu Qianli, you stinker, goodbye. Jiang Yumeng is a good catch, you have a good eye. Give her hell! I won’t bother you lovebirds any longer, goodbye..."

The video call ended just like that, and Jiang Yumeng stared, wide-eyed, at Xu Qianli like he was some kind of monster.

Xu Qianli scratched his cheek, "Hey superstar, why are you staring at me like that?"

"What else can I do but try to get a clear look at you!"

"You’ve really got some nerve, taking down my boss like that. Impressive."

Jiang Yumeng was exasperated. Her boss was not only a top boss of an entertainment company but also the young mistress of Beijing’s powerful Lan Family. With her extraordinary background and exquisite beauty, how on earth did this fellow from Zhongzhou City manage to win her over?

Could this Xu Qianli really be something special?

Before she could ask, Xu Qianli’s phone rang again. Jiang Yumeng picked it up and saw that the caller’s ID was a profile picture of Liang Mi.

Jiang Yumeng suddenly became very angry, shooting Xu Qianli a furious glance.

After all this time, it turned out he was a fan of Liang Mi. Absolutely detestable.

However, the person who sent the video call invitation had Liang Mi’s profile picture. Who could it actually be?

Without thinking too much, Jiang Yumeng pressed accept, and immediately, a familiar figure popped up on the screen.

Liang Mi!

There on the phone was none other than Liang Mi!

Jiang Yumeng and Liang Mi were the two hottest young A-list actresses domestically, both radiant stars considering each other as their biggest rival.

Jiang Yumeng utterly loathed Liang Mi. Even if she turned to ashes, she would not mistake her for someone else.

Unexpectedly, Liang Mi was sending a video call to Xu Qianli. Were the two of them also involved?

Jiang Yumeng hadn’t gotten the chance to inquire with Xu Qianli when she suddenly noticed something off about Liang Mi—she was in the bathroom, wearing nothing at all!

Liang Mi also saw Jiang Yumeng, and as their eyes met, both women stared at each other, dumbfounded. Then, with a cry of surprise, Liang Mi quickly ended the call.

Before long, Liang Mi called again, this time she’d already put on a nightgown, covering her sultry body as she once again locked gazes with Jiang Yumeng.

It was Liang Mi who broke the silence first, "Jiang Yumeng, how come you have Xu Qianli’s phone? I thought I’d contacted the wrong person just now! What’s wrong with you, stealing Xu Qianli’s phone? What are you scheming? What’s the purpose of doing this?"

Jiang Yumeng said, "What do you mean ’stolen Xu Qianli’s phone’? I am right by his side, see for yourself."

Jiang Yumeng adjusted the phone to show Xu Qianli’s face.

Liang Mi’s excited voice came through, "You, Xu Qianli, you really are something, sneaking around with Jiang Yumeng behind my back! How could you do this to me? After all, I’ve been constantly thinking of you, but here you are, getting involved with the woman I hate the most. I’m so angry! Humph, I won’t bother with you anymore! Hey, I’ve been talking this whole time, why aren’t you saying anything, try to coax me..."

Xu Qianli said, "Don’t be angry, it’s not what you think, she and I..."

But before Xu Qianli could finish, Jiang Yumeng suddenly covered his mouth, her delicate body leaning into his embrace, deliberately capturing their closeness on camera for Liang Mi to see, smiling cheekily, "You guessed it right, we are a couple. I’m sexier than you, Xu Qianli likes me more, and he’s even promised to marry me."

Liang Mi shouted angrily, "Xu Qianli, I hate you!"

Xu Qianli said, "Don’t be angry, I really have nothing to do with her, listen to me."

Jiang Yumeng didn’t wait for Xu Qianli to explain, and suddenly kissed him, actively pressing her red lips against his, deliberately showing off their affection in front of Liang Mi.

Xu Qianli, unable to speak and attempting to push Jiang Yumeng away, found her clinging tightly to his neck, refusing to let go.

From the phone, Liang Mi’s trembling voice came through, "Xu Qianli, I hate you!"

Jiang Yumeng felt even more triumphant, awkwardly French kissing Xu Qianli, intentionally provoking Liang Mi, and casually placing the phone on a table at the side of the bed to give Liang Mi a clear view of their intimacy.

The video call ended soon after, and Jiang Yumeng finally let go of Xu Qianli, her face full of smugness.

Xu Qianli, gasping for breath, said, "Do you realize you’re playing with fire? I told you nothing happened between us last night, but you wouldn’t believe me. Not only are you forcing me to take responsibility for you, but you also forced a kiss on me. Do you know the consequences of what you’re doing?"

Jiang Yumeng asserted, "What consequences could there be other than gaining you, this man? Whether you like it or not, I’m already your woman. You have to treat me well and forget about that stinking Liang Mi!"

As she spoke, Jiang Yumeng was sizing up Xu Qianli. She’d thought Xu Qianli was just an ordinary person, but who knew he could be so remarkable, having both the Lan Family’s Lan Mengni and the big star Liang Mi under his spell. He was not ordinary at all.

Such a man was now hers.

Thinking about how angry she’d made Liang Mi, she felt even more delighted.

Just as she was reveling in her triumph, suddenly the sound of footsteps approached from the staircase, followed by the opening of the door, and someone rushed in.

Jiang Yumeng glanced sideways to see who else but Liang Mi?

The surprise made her blurt out, "What are you, a fairy? Can you fly or what?"

"I’ve been shooting in Jiang City and staying at Yunding Villa, villa number six. As soon as I recognized the room in the video, I knew where to find you. It was easy!"

"Look at you, Jiang Yumeng, always against me in the entertainment circle, always competing with me, and now you’re trying to steal my man behind my back. You’ve really pissed me off, just wait and see how I deal with you!"

Dressed in a nightgown and slippers, Liang Mi was panting heavily. Just as she’d caught her breath, she lunged at Jiang Yumeng, ready to settle the score.

Jiang Yumeng tried to roll away to avoid her, but Xu Qianli held her slender waist tight, making it impossible to escape, and she quickly fell into Liang Mi’s grasp.

Liang Mi intended to deal with Jiang Yumeng and was unsuccessful, as soon after, they were both held down by Xu Qianli with their delicate bodies pressed onto the soft bed.
