Vengeance: Ex-Husband CEO, Please Love Me-Chapter 89 - A Trap

Chapter 89: A Trap

When Liu Shiying was recording the show, she felt vaguely uneasy the whole time.

Because of their brief interaction, she had already sensed that Song Wei was a particularly resourceful person and was willing to risk everything.

Although she firmly believed that Song Wei had stronger principles than Yan Zhixing, it was unclear how a person would retaliate when they were forced to the extreme.

She was in a daze throughout the entire game.

It wasn’t her style at all to be suppressed by a newly popular artiste—Luo Xinna.

Her manager had already become anxious, watching from outside the venue. Taking advantage of the intermission to touch up her makeup, she asked anxiously, “Yingying, what’s wrong with you?”

Liu Shiying suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and drank a mouthful of water. “I’m fine. I just feel a little dizzy. By the way, where’s that ugly woman with Jin Wenxi just now?”

The manager was stunned. “Why are you concerned about this? She seemed to have had a conflict with Yue Wanwan just now. I didn’t see her after that.”

“Did she get chased away by Yue Wanwan?”

“Well, no. Yue Wanwan was lectured by her until she cried, and now, the former’s still hiding in the bathroom.”

Liu Shiying’s gaze darkened. “Heh, she sure has a sharp tongue. Sister Qin, help me find someone to keep an eye on that ugly woman. Don’t let her play any tricks again.”

“What can the assistant of an eighteenth-tier celebrity like her do? Don’t worry, it’s fine. The second half is coming up soon. Do your best.” The manager patted Liu Shiying’s shoulder.

Liu Shiying composed herself and stopped overthinking before turning around to go on stage.

Luo Xinna, who had played a number of dirty tricks on her several times in the game just now, happened to walk onto the stage as well.

There was an inexplicable trace of pride in her smile.

“Sister Shiying, thank you for letting me win just now. You have to do your best in the game later! Otherwise, your fans will be heartbroken if you end up in such a sorry state even though you have so many chances to appear on-screen.”

Liu Shiying swept a cold glance at her. “It’s none of your business.”

“…” Luo Xinna only smiled lightly and walked to the opposite side of Liu Shiying.

The next segment was a lightning quiz game. One party would ask an extremely tricky question while the other party had to answer within a certain while. They would be punished if they exceeded the time limit.

Luo Xinna deliberately stood opposite Liu Shiying. It was obvious that she was aiming for the latter.

Under normal circumstances, the most common questions here would be these: Which actor do you hate the most? Which actor do you think is the ugliest among the actors acting with you?

However, Luo Xinna immediately said, “Sister Shiying, they all say that you acted especially realistically as a mother in ‘White Moon Imperial Concubine’. I wonder if you have relevant experience in your life.”

Liu Shiying’s expression changed slightly, but she was someone who had rolled out from great storms after all. She reacted calmly.

“I study every role I’ve taken on carefully, and I have indeed tried to look after the children of the production team’s staff. Perhaps, this is the relevant experience that you mentioned.

“I want to ask Nana; you acted as a courtesan in a brothel in ‘Beautiful Prostitute’. Everyone also praised you highly for your breathtaking acting skills. I wonder if you also have…”

At this point, Liu Shiying paused appropriately as if she wanted to turn this war into a harmless joke.

Luo Xinna paused. She was young after all and already looked a little unhappy. “A paparazzo took photos of you buying children’s toys in a scenic area previously. I wonder who they were for.”

“My older brother’s son who is three years old. Should I bring him along for you to meet some other day? You’re so passionate even about the stuff that the paparazzi shoot. Are you tired of acting and want to become a tabloid reporter?”

Luo Xinna was a little flustered and exasperated. “I’m from this industry. Of course, I care about some gossips. This is also something that the audience is curious about anyway. I still have one last question.”

After confirming that she had nothing to fear from Luo Xinna, Liu Shiying’s expression relaxed. “Go ahead.”

“I heard that you’re endorsing a new car series under the Juye Corporation. Juye Automobile rarely uses female celebrities as their spokespersons. Why did they suddenly change their style of doing things this time?”

Upon hearing ‘Juye Corporation’, Liu Shiying became a little discomfited.

Only then did the host appear to smooth things over. “Nana, this involves a business’ trade secret. Shiying is capable and good-looking. Juye really has a good taste.”

“Aiya, I’m sorry. It wasn’t easy for me to get a chance to ask Sister Shiying questions, so I just wanted to ask her all the questions that I’m curious about. In that case, I’m done with my three questions.” Luo Xinna finally stopped.

Liu Shiying’s complexion was terrible as she followed the flight of steps that the host had given her to leave the stage.

In a place where the cameras couldn’t reach, Luo Xinna walked over and stood beside Liu Shiying with a triumphant smile on her face.

“Just now, a woman told me that as long as I asked questions according to her flashcard, it would definitely put you in an awkward situation. I thought she was just joking with me, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
