A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 379 Jealousy

After the program recording ended, some bloopers needed to be filmed.Li Xinyue suddenly ran over to ask Mu Yan for a photo together, and started chatting about the backstage happenings of the "Voice of Dreams" show.

She even mentioned that Mu Yan was quite composed, and didn’t expect her to be so versatile on screen, and so on.

Under the camera, even though Mu Yan didn’t like the feeling of being led by the nose, she couldn’t explode.

When it finally ended, Li Xinyue extended an invitation to Mu Yan, "Mu Yan, long time no see, let me treat you to a late-night snack."

Mu Yan replied, "No need, it’s late, I want to go back and rest."

"Oh, next time then." Li Xinyue waved her hand with a smile, "See you next time."

"Hmm." Mu Yan nodded, watching her walk away.

"Who was that?" Wang Linjia came over to ask.

"An opponent from when I participated in a singer talent show."

"You two don’t get along?"

Mu Yan looked at her in surprise, "Am I being that obvious?"

"Yeah!" Wang Linjia nodded.

Mu Yan, "..."

Has her ability to control her expression worsened?

Seeing Mu Yan a bit tense, Wang Linjia burst out laughing.

"Alright, I’m just teasing you, it’s not that bad, but knowing you for so long, it’s hard for you to hide from me."

Mu Yan relaxed, responding, "My relationship with her isn’t even average."

"Seems like she wants to ride on your fame."

Mu Yan recalled Song Cheng’an’s advice last time to stay away from Li Xinyue.

She kept her distance, but couldn’t prevent someone from sticking close.

Wang Linjia, afraid Mu Yan would be upset, comforted, "Don’t mind it, it’s a common thing in the entertainment industry."

"Hmm." Mu Yan nodded.

"I’m a bit hungry now, let’s grab a late-night snack and check out Sha City’s night view," Wang Linjia said.

"Alright."

A few days later, the program aired.

Many of Mu Yan’s fans thought she had a good relationship with Li Xinyue.

After all, Li Xinyue appeared as Mu Yan’s good friend, and the two participated in the same talent show. Plus, Li Xinyue vividly described their backstage stories, making it hard to doubt.

For a time, many media outlets began hyping up their friendship.

For Mu Yan, this level of hype wouldn’t bring her any benefits.

After all, she’s no longer a newbie; she has some fame and works under her belt.

However, Li Xinyue, despite being the talent show champion and releasing an album, had average sales.

Thanks to the "friend" relationship with Mu Yan, more people would get to know her.

Her Weibo followers surged, and she even got more gigs.

Song Cheng’an, knowing about this, was helpless; you can guard against a thief for a thousand days but not every day.

This hype game is typically hard to seek justice for.

Even if you distance yourself from the one riding your fame, the public needs to believe it. If they don’t, they might think you’re arrogant after becoming famous, not even recognizing friends.

In situations like this, the best solution is silence: neither admit nor deny, letting others speculate.

After all, one hand can’t clap alone. Over time, people will naturally see the clues.

As for Li Xinyue’s team, they were thrilled; within just a few days, Li Xinyue’s popularity multiplied several times over.

While delighted, Li Xinyue couldn’t help but feel jealous, "Just a few months ago, Mu Yan was an obscure little actress. How did she suddenly become so popular?"
