When Yan Wen came back home, she caught her fiancé on the bed with Jiang Lingyun, the very woman to whom Yan Wen relinquished the role of the leading actress for the sake of her fiancé, Bai Zhexuan. Instead of exposing their treachery right there and then, Yan Wen chose to walk away and waited by the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau the next day as scheduled. Yet, as expected, Bai Zhexuan used a lame excuse and stood her up. It was at that moment she bumped into another man, Jiang Sui-an, a rich CEO who was under family pressure to find a wife.

Chapter 52 Foil

The host was passed a questíon card that just came in. He cleared his throat. "The next question might be a little intense. Would you be able to describe each other as an animal?"

In interviews, the relationship between female stars was like the fuse of a bomb...

Yan Wen paused to think, and then said seriously and without hesitation, "In my eyes, Jiang Lingyun is like a peacock."

"Are you referring to Miss Lingyun's beauty?" The host tried to probe further.

Yan Wen only smiled at the camera as the scene ended. Her expression was friendly, but her words had a deeper meaning. A peacock's feathers were definitely beautiful but did not have any other practical use. It was only suitable to be a creature to be admired by others. In her eyes, Jiang Lingyun was just a peacock by Bai Zhexuan's side.

"I think that Yan Wen is like a fox. She's very cunning..."

In a show like this, her provocations seemed stuck at a kindergarten-level.

Jiang Lingyun did not notice the change in the mood of the director and the crew, and she lifted a brow and spoke haughtily, "My comparison rings true. She's stayed in Grand Entertainment for so long. I know her well."

Bai Zhexuan felt his mind come to a stop, what was Jiang Lingyun saying!

Her condescension was shocking to observe and hinted at how many people she had offended in the entertainment industry with this attitude.

Thinking about Yan Wen's answer, she was actually really accurate. How was what Jiang Lingyun just did any different from what people in a park would observe in a peacock? Strutting around arrogantly...

Yan Wen noticed the host's discomfort and gave a gentle smile. "It's probably only close friends who really know me."

The meaning was clear. Their relationship was not as good as the company had made out to be, and all the scandalous news that had been covered up would once again come to light.

As the director yelled 'Cut', she saw Bai Zhexuan hastily leave, his phone in hand.

He must be in a hurry to get a PR message out. While the production was not going to be broadcast yet, some clips were going to be uploaded to the Internet. Yan Wen's answer put Jiang Lingyun in a bad light, and Jiang Lingyun stupidly thought she had the advantage.

Jiang Lingyun glared at Yan Wen while touching up her make-up. "At least you're tactful and didn't say anything stupid. You'd better not make trouble during this afternoon's filming. Otherwise. I'll tell Zhexuan."

"Oh really?" Yan Wen shot a glance at her, shrugging on her jacket and walking to the lounge next door. She was not going to waste her time arguing with Jiang Lingyun.

It had not been five minutes before Bai Zhexuan called Jiang Lingyun over.

"How could you provoke Yan Wen just now? You're supposed to show that you can work very well together with her. Even if you have to pretend, at least pretend!" Bai Zhexian was incensed that Jiang Lingyun would do something so immature.

"But what's wrong with what I said? Don't tell me you want me to fawn over her?" Jiang Lingyun made an unhappy noise.

"Whatever. You must remember that the filming will be over soon. You'd better listen to the director. I can only pave your road if you perform well."

"I know." Jiang Lingyun pouted. Her bitter heart was jealous as she thought about the expression on Bai Zhexuan's face when he spoke of Yan Wen.

At this time, Yan Wen was scanning through the filming schedule.

"Yan Wen, President Jiang sent lunch over." Chen Yu giggled as she passed Yan Wen the lunch that Jiang Sui-an had sent over. Jiang Sui-an might have been busy with work, but his concern for Yan Wen, even when not at her side, was admirable.

"President Jiang also said that once the activities are over, he would give you a surprise that he prepared."

On hearing this, Yan Wen's heart grew warm and her beautiful eyes lit up. "Alright, you take a break too. There's still work in the afternoon."

The husband and wife were always thinking of each other.

Yan Wen casually pulled out her phone and checked the top search headlines. Surprisingly, some entertainment reporters had dug up old photos of Bai Zhexuan and Jiang Lingyun, and their love triangle was being brought up again.

She did not mind it, but Bai Zhexuan and Bai Shanshan were probably frantic with worry.

This was supposed to be a good opportunity for Jiang Lingyun to debut on the international stage, but she had become an embarrassment due to her own actions.

Yan Wen was about to put away her phone when she received a message from Dahua's communications office.

"Madam, under President Jiang's orders, the PR department is on call twenty-four hours. If any situation arises during filming, please contact us immediately."

If Bai Zhexuan jumped the gun, Dahua Entertainment would immediately start a public debate. Jiang Lingyun would not be able to escape unscathed.

The man with the power to control the fate of the entertainment industry stood behind her and protected her at all times.

Yan Wen gave a quick call to Jiang Sui-an. "Did you use your special privilege for me again?"

"If you're willing, the whole Dahua is at your service." He wanted to spoil Yan Wen and who would dare stop him?

This man with the power to control the entertainment industry really wanted to spoil her.

"Don't worry, I won't be bullied." She was clearly the one who had pushed Jiang Lingyun into a sticky spot. But to Jiang Sui-an, no one would even have the chance to hurt her.

"Alright... I await your return." Jiang Sui-an laughed. He supported her decisions unconditionally.

Yan Wen had no defense against his domineering yet tender arrangements.

The filming assignment was not too tough and she had already memorized the filming schedule, but she would not relax until the end. After Yan Wen had taken a short nap, she heard from Xia that Jiang Lingyun had picked a fight with the make-up artist.

"She thought the outfit prepared by the make-up artist wasn't nice enough and insisted on wearing her own. It's very tacky. Really bright and covered in crystals... I think the make-up artists are speechless."

"Bai Shanshan isn't doing anything?" Yan Wen asked.

"No, Jiang Lingyun and Bai Zhexuan's photos jumped up in the top search list so Bai Shanshan must be busy with that. Jiang Lingyun doesn't know anything about it yet. Her self-satisfied face is just pitiful," Xia was replying when there was a knock on the door.

A crew member pushed a rack of clothes in. "Miss Yan, please choose an outfit from the rack. "

He did not meet their eyes, and Xia jumped on it immediately. "Has Jiang Lingyun chosen yet?"

"Well..."

"You can't tell us?" Xia lowered her tone on purpose, and Chen Yu frowned from the side.

"Miss Jiang has already chosen. She chose these outfits for Miss Yan." The crew member's voice grew softer as he spoke. Something like this was bound to happen in this industry. Jiang Lingyun was Grand Entertainment's chosen one, after all.
