Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession-Chapter 28: Retribution from Heaven
Chapter 28: Retribution from Heaven
Jiang Xinxin was furious. Since her debut, apart from getting slapped during filming when she wasn’t famous yet, no one had ever dared to treat her this way over the years.
The woman who slapped her back then had long since been trampled under her feet and was now working as a hostess in a nightclub.
This Gu Tiantian sure has some nerve.
"Am I the one who’s crazy, or are you, Sister Jiang?"
Staring at Jiang Xinxin, Gu Tiantian’s voice was cold.
"Since I started working, I have prided myself on being diligent and have earned my paycheck fairly. But Sister Jiang, I don’t know what I’ve done wrong to make you pick on me, either with disdain or scolding."
"I admit, it was wrong of me not to come to work yesterday, and I’ve had Brother Zhang explain to you that something happened at home, my phone died, and I couldn’t call in. But you shouldn’t go this far."
Seeing Gu Tiantian’s cute and innocent face, Jiang Xinxin wanted to tear it apart. If they had been in the office, she would have done it.
But now they were at the Imperial Dynasty Hotel, with many people outside. As a public figure, she absolutely couldn’t make a scene now.
Jiang Xinxin squinted her eyes, staring at Gu Tiantian’s swollen lips.
Suddenly, a look of disbelief passed through her eyes, and she spoke with undisguised contempt.
"Gu Tiantian, are you sure you didn’t come to work yesterday because of something at home, and not because you were out fooling around with a man?"
The atmosphere in the room dropped below freezing again.
Everyone’s gaze followed Jiang Xinxin’s eyes and landed on Gu Tiantian’s swollen and bleeding lips.
Most of them had a good relationship with Gu Tiantian and believed she was innocent.
But there were also die-hard fans of Jiang Xinxin, like Cao Li.
"Sister Jiang, do we even need to ask? We’re all adults here. With her lips swollen like that, need we say more?"
As she said this, she looked at Gu Tiantian, her smile full of disdain.
"Honestly, I used to think Tian Tian was the only innocent little flower among us. Sister Jiang praised you like that in private too. Who would’ve thought... your private life is so wild and passionate!"
Gu Tiantian trembled with anger, her eyes red.
"Sister Jiang, you’ve been in this industry for fifteen years. It’s not easy to achieve your status today. Some things... what people do, the heavens are watching."
Seeing Gu Tiantian staring coldly at her, Jiang Xinxin became even more enraged.
The night before last, she had everything planned out, but unexpectedly, it benefited Cheng Xiaoyu, that bitch.
She had arranged for Gu Tiantian to meet the investors, but somewhere along the line, something went wrong. The next day, she was told that the previously wrapped shoot had unexpectedly been cut for inexplicable reasons.
Being cut was bad enough, but why on earth did they let the second female lead rise to the first female lead and require reshooting?
She only learned about this three minutes ago.
She was trembling with anger. Only after sorting things out did she realize that the person who slept with the investors the night before was not Gu Tiantian but Cheng Xiaoyu.
Cheng Xiaoyu was merely a second-tier star and had always been beneath her.
Shooting this wrapped-up show took her two whole years, running all over the place, enduring countless hardships and sorrows. Most importantly, she believed that the lead role in it was one she really wanted.
She knew the investors loved beauty, especially young and pretty girls, and privately, they’d hinted at being very pleased with Gu Tiantian.
But in the blink of an eye, her role was cut, and Cheng Xiaoyu, the second female lead, rose up—how did that happen?
