Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Seeking Trouble_1

But seeing Xia Qingtian’s distressed face and realizing that she must be even more anxious than herself, Cheng Bingbing suppressed her own disappointment.

"It’s okay. The crew won’t be shooting my scenes until several days later anyway. Waiting a few more days won’t make a difference," she comforted Xia Qingtian.

"Don’t worry. I will solve this issue. Before you start shooting for the drama, I will make sure the scar on your face is removed," Xia Qingtian grabbed her hand and reassured her.

"Okay, I trust you!!!" Cheng Bingbing showed her a dependant smile.

After parting ways with Cheng Bingbing, Xia Qingtian decided to search for Shen Zhiyi.

The root of the matter lies with Shen Zhiyi. Without convincing her, Cheng Bingbing would never get a surgery slot and would even be blacklisted.

If that really happens, her life would be ruined.

Xia Qingtian had asked around and quickly found out the whereabouts of Shen Zhiyi.

She rushed over immediately but still arrived late. When she got there, Shen Zhiyi had finished hugging a friend and was getting into a car to leave.

Xia Qingtian didn’t want her to leave just like this, so she chased after her.

Just when she was about to catch up, she tripped over something and lost her balance, falling heavily to the ground.

Then she could only watch on helplessly as the car Shen Zhiyi was in started its engine and slowly disappeared from her line of sight.

Before Xia Qingtian could even feel disappointed, at that moment...

"Tsk tsk. How pathetic." A pair of feet stopped in front of her and said with a somewhat indulgent tone.

Xia Qingtian recognized the voice - it sounded somewhat familiar, could it be...

Shi Qian?

She immediately got up and looked up to confirm that it was indeed Shi Qian.

Even more shocking was the realization that based on Shi Qian’s attire, she was the friend that Shen Zhiyi was with just now!

Thinking back to how Shen Zhiyi had changed her mind so suddenly within a few days...

Previously, she had shown signs of considering them as friends. When they parted, they not only exchanged contact information but also arranged to have dinner together next time.

But now, Shen Zhiyi’s attitude towards her had suddenly turned so hostile.

Xia Qingtian suddenly realized that it must be the doing of Shi Qian.

She didn’t need to ask if Shi Qian did something. Instead, she directly interrogated, "What have you done exactly?"

Shi Qian tucked her hair behind her ear and leisurely said, "I didn’t do much. All I did was tell Zhiyi some things that she didn’t know."

"For example, how Shen Yaxuan has an unattainable love for you in his heart. She misunderstood that the reason Shen Yaxuan ran away from his wedding was you."

"Now she sees you as the reason why she ended up as a laughingstock in high society. If it weren’t for her kindness, she would have sought revenge viciously. She is already quite merciful by merely refusing to help Cheng Bingbing remove the scar."

Xia Qingtian’s fist clenched tightly, "Why are you putting so much effort into sabotaging us? What is it that you are aiming for?"

Shi Qian knew that Xia Qingtian had already seen through her, and that they had completely fallen out. No amount of pretending on her part would fool Xia Qingtian anymore.

So, she didn’t have to pretend in front of Xia Qingtian anymore and revealed her true colors.

She said scornfully, "Of course, it’s because it benefits me."

"Didn’t you already know that my target is Mr. Bo? I want to become Mrs. Bo. You are a stumbling block in my way. So as long as it hurts you, I am willing to do it."

"If you are a stumbling block in my love life, then Cheng Bingbing is a stumbling block in my career. Entertainment resources are limited. For every additional Cheng Bingbing, there will be one less resource. Of course, I’d rather have her out of the game so that I can have better resources."

"Recalling how her endorsement of Lanyue cost me so much, her disfigurement has finally tipped the scales my way. I certainly won’t let her recover."

"Such a perfect two birds with one stone opportunity, wouldn’t I be a fool not to seize it?"

Saying this, Shi Qian revealed a smug expression obviously extremely satisfied with her elegant play.

Seeing her triumphant expression, Xia Qingtian gradually calmed her anger.

At this moment, what was most important was not to be angry, but to resolve the trouble at hand.

"You think you can really put me down and let Bingbing disappear from the entertainment industry?" Her gaze towards Shi Qian was filled with contempt, "Only people with no real ability will resort to sneaky tactics behind others’ backs."

"But what can your cunning do before real strength? It’s worth nothing. I will surely heal Cheng Bingbing’s face. We will crush you hard in everything from our personal lives to our careers, making your life no more than that of a cockroach in the sewers, and leaving you destitute and jealous, looking up at our success."

Shi Qian’s face darkened when she heard this.

Xia Qingtian’s words had hit her where it hurt.

She had lost to Xia Qingtian in love, and was inferior to Cheng Bingbing in terms of career. That’s why she had to take these measures.

If she could crush the two of them, she wouldn’t need to do anything, let alone even consider them as threats.

Shi Qian was somewhat frantically said, "Xia Qingtian, what are you so arrogant about?"

Xia Qingtian didn’t even bother to respond to her at this moment. She got up with some pain and turned to leave.

The fact that Xia Qingtian didn’t pay her any attention infuriated Shi Qian even more.

"So what if I resort to cunning tactics? Shen Zhiyi hates you now, she would never perform the scar removal surgery on Cheng Bingbing..."

She quickly chased after her, and to force Xia Qingtian to listen to her, she even grabbed hold of her arm tightly.

"Cheng Bingbing is currently the only artist under you who can earn money for you. Now that Cheng Bingbing’s face can’t be healed, you can’t turn the tide and make your entertainment company profitable in three months, you..."

Slap—

Xia Qingtian didn’t wait for Shi Qian to finish speaking. She suddenly turned around, freed her hand that was being grabbed painfully, and slapped Shi Qian.

Staggering back a few steps, Shi Qian barely managed to keep herself standing.

Xia Qingtian shook her hand that hurt from the slap, and asserted dominantly, "You plot against me behind my back, and I couldn’t care less. But you just wouldn’t let it go."

"Bo Jingyan is my husband. To think that you want to be a home-wrecker is one thing, but to be so bold and jump around in front of me, the official wife. Are you looking for a beating?"
