Chapter 1031: Threat
Mu Yan paused his action of opening the car door, turned around to look at her, and said with surprise, "Acting under someone’s orders?"Zhou Lifen’s gaze landed on Song Cheng’an. Mu Yan got the hint and said, "Brother Song, can I have a word with her alone?"
Song Cheng’an glanced at Zhou Lifen. Seeing she was wearing a thin, intricate red dress and had no weapon, he nodded and went directly to wait in the car.
Seeing that the car’s doors and windows were all locked, Zhou Lifen felt slightly reassured and said to Mu Yan, "Yeah, otherwise, I have no grievances with you, why would I target a newcomer like you?"
"Is that so?" Mu Yan responded nonchalantly, "Wasn’t it said that you were afraid I’d rise to the top and crush you?"
"How could that be!" Zhou Lifen immediately retorted, "In the entertainment industry, newcomers keep emerging, many more powerful, with backgrounds, and are prettier than you. Why would I be wary of you?"
Mu Yan looked at her with interest, "But the fact proves that you’ve done the right thing. Look, haven’t I really stepped over you now? So, this could be considered as destined by fate."
Zhou Lifen’s face was a bit unsightly, but thinking of her purpose for coming, she could only suppress her anger. She was really fed up with being out of vogue and having everyone show her a bad face.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Don’t you want to take revenge on the person behind it? I can help you."
"You? Help me?" Mu Yan scrutinized her, "Would you be so kind-hearted?"
"Back then, I targeted you because I had no choice. If not me, it would’ve been someone else. Now I truly want to make amends." Zhou Lifen was glib with nice words, and she sneakily glanced at Mu Yan’s expression, "Of course, I also hope we can let bygones be bygones."
"How do we let bygones be bygones?" Mu Yan asked with great patience.
Zhou Lifen immediately said, "Let’s make peace in front of the media. By then, with my support, you’ll definitely be able to rise higher in the entertainment industry. After all, I have more experience and understand the workings of this circle."
"Your support for me?" Mu Yan looked at Zhou Lifen in surprise, "Are you not awake yet?"
Zhou Lifen’s face stiffened. She said this to increase her bargaining chips, but she knew very well that the current Mu Yan was at the peak of her career. Even Xiang Lanqiu was not her match, let alone herself.
She gritted her teeth, "Not just that. I can teach you how to win over men’s hearts."
Mu Yan gave her a surprised look. It seemed she had indeed had a rough time lately.
She giggled, "I’ve heard that you got dumped again, caught in bed by the legal wife, and your sugar daddy ignored you since then."
Being hit where it hurts, Zhou Lifen was furious, and she said, "Even the best horses stumble sometimes."
"That’s true. Sister Zhou has seen countless people. Even if you’ve failed, you’ve surely gathered much experience," Mu Yan nodded understandingly, "But unfortunately, I don’t need it."
Looking at her lofty demeanor, Zhou Lifen found it amusing, "Don’t tell me you managed to escape from Director Zhu’s clutches in the hotel by yourself."
Mu Yan’s face turned somber, "What do you know?"
"Although I don’t have evidence, you had such deep hatred for me back then, which shows you escaped the first calamity but not the second. I’ve carefully recalled your experiences over the past year or two, first having Song Cheng’an as your manager, then being shielded by rich heirs like Ning Ze, and getting flooded with big productions, and finally realized it."
Zhou Lifen’s eyes shimmered with light, full of confidence, "You’re quite something, encountering him!"
