n“Do you not know?” the manager inquired.

nQiao Lian shook her head, saying, “I don’t know, can you tell me the reason?”

nWhen she lacked money in the past, and had nowhere left to go, it was Shen Liangchuan’s manager who had taken the initiative to find her. That was how this marriage document had even been agreed to in the first place.

nHis manager said, “Impossible.”

nQiao Lian froze in surprise. She heard him continue, “Because I have no idea either! Initially, when Mr. Shen suddenly ordered me to prepare the agreement and find you, I thought that you knew each other.”

nHow could this be true?

nIf she had known Shen Liangchuan, she would have been a renowned figure in the reporter world already.

nEverybody knew that Shen Liangchuan’s every move, regardless of how minute it was, would be trending in an instant.

nAs he was thinking, the manager suddenly stopped dead in his tracks and said, “We’re here, Miss Qiao. Do you require me to arrange a car to send you home?”

nQiao Lian hurriedly waved her hands and said, “There’s no need, thank you.”

nBy the time Qiao Lian walked out of the set, the reporters that had been waiting outside had already left.

nHaving obtained the huge scoop about Shen Liangchuan and Yang Lingsi being in the same car together, these reporters had hurried back to prepare their articles about it.

nQiao Lian walked over to the side of the road and prepared to take a cab back to the news agency.

nSuddenly, a red Audi honked and stopped right in front of her.

nThe car door opened and Yang Lingsi stepped out of the car angrily.

nQiao Lian did not know what she wanted. She opened her mouth to speak…

n“Piak!”

nA whopping slap landed on Qiao Lian’s face!

n“I’m telling you right now, Best Actor Shen is mine! Don’t think you can seduce him just because you are somewhat good-looking!”

nThe slap was so quick and sudden that she had no time to react. Her head swung to the side as a foul taste appeared in her mouth. Her cheek burned with fiery pain, so much so that she couldn’t feel anything across half of her face.

nDang, this lady was strong!

nShe touched her cheek gingerly. Finding no problems with her teeth, she was relieved and then raised her head sharply.

nIn the entertainment industry, regardless of how much conflict there was between stars and reporters, no star dared to physically strike a reporter. As such, she hadn’t had her guard up just now.

nBut looking at it now… This lady, Yang Lingsi, was clearly out of her mind.

nShe looked at Yang Lingsi tauntingly, saying, “If I remember correctly, Best Actor Shen was just married yesterday, was it you he married? Are you actually Mrs. Shen?

nYang Lingsi yelled in exasperation, “It’s not important whether it was me or not. At any rate, it will never be you, you puny reporter!”

nQiao Lian smiled, and said, “I may indeed be a nobody, but Ms. Yang, you should be cautious as well. If not, you may become universally hated.”

nThere was nobody around. Yang Lingsi contorted her face hideously and replied yelling, “So what even if you were married to him? I am happy to be his mistress! I’ll warn you again, leave Best Actor Shen alone!”

nQiao Lian raised her eyebrows and said, “Mistress?”

nShe tilted her head as her pitch-black eyes betrayed a certain cunningness. She said, “But if I remember correctly, you just confessed your love to him, and yet… He seems to have rejected you. Even then, you want to be his mistress? Has Best Actor Shen agreed to this?”

nYang Lingsi was so provoked by her words that she almost started hopping out of anger. She said, “So what? I’m telling you, the person who will hit the headlines with Best Actor Shen is me! I’ll take advantage of the buzz surrounding his wedding.”

nYang Lingsi only realized what she had just said after finishing her tirade. She ferociously warned Qiao Lian, “I’m telling you to shut your mouth! This slap is my warning to you. It won’t end at just a single slap next time!”

nHaving said that, she turned her head, got into her car, and left.

nQiao Lian watched the car leave in a cloud of dust and then took out her phone. The voice-recording function had already been activated for some time.
