Chapter 73 - Humiliation

“Xiao Meng, here’s a bottle of water. Sit over there and take a break before you continue again!”

“It doesn’t matter, Sister Chen. I’m not tired.”

Meng Xinyan wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve with a smile on her face.

“You’ve been working so long, where are you not tired? This kind of living, how will you be able to finish the work?”

“It’s alright, I’ll be able to get my salary today.”

The woman sat on the side of the road and sighed softly. What a good girl she was, but unfortunately she became a widow at a young age and had to work hard to support her two children.

As Ou Mengxue drove by, she glimpsed a familiar figure in the rearview mirror and immediately stepped on the brakes, slowly stopping by the side of the road.

“Ka – ka – ka —” The sound of high heeled shoes on the pavement was far and close.

“Clang–” Meng Xinyan saw a can thrown into the dustpan and was about to thank the person, but the moment she looked up, she was stunned. “Why is it you?”

Ou Mengxue laughed, a trace of contempt floating at the corners of her mouth. “It turned out to be Auntie Meng, ah! I just saw you, but I couldn’t believe it! What, now you’re actually sweeping the streets? Tut, what happened to the good job you used to have before! To do this job is really bending your talent!”

Meng Xinyan clenched the broom handle and stared her in the eye with hatred. “Why is my job gone? You know it clearly in your heart.”

“Yo, it seems you still haven’t learned your lesson. Talking back to me, you know it won’t end well.”

Meng Xinyan’s hand tightened, her face red with embarrassment, tears in her eyes. “Mengxue, I’m begging you, don’t tell this matter to Ling Xi, alright?”

She knew very well the kind of monster the person standing in front of her was, and going against her would only put Ling Xi in danger.

Ou Mengxue looked at her as if she was looking at an ant. “Okay ah, just kneel down and beg me.”

At this time, she was completely different from the Ou Mengxue that showcased herself in front of Ling Xi. Because in front of an ant, she didn’t have to hide her true face. Anyways, Ling Xi hated her and would never believe her again.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xinyan didn’t even hesitate at all. ‘Putong’, her knees hit the ground. “Ok, I beg you.”

Meaningless. Ou Mengxue at that moment had no interest in humiliating her anymore. She just took a picture and left with a lack of interest, “Just a low-life bi*ch.”

Meng Xinyan thought she had agreed and lost all her strength in an instant, falling backwards as flowers dotted her vision.

She vaguely heard a faint cry in her ear, “Xiao Meng, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!”

The day of the audition finally arrived.

Ou Mengxue seemed to be more nervous than Ling Xi. “Ling Xi, do you remember the lines of the female lead?”

“Don’t worry!”

“That’s good. If you succeed with the audition, I’ll show you something good.”

“Ok.”

Pei Shan who was sitting next to her was a little unhappy. Ling Xi’s assistant seemed a little noisy. She patted Ling Xi gently on the shoulder and said with a serious face that was still cold, “It doesn’t matter, don’t think about anything.”

Ling Xi joked: “Sister Pei, I was still very relaxed when you weren’t here, but now that you’re here, I’ve started trembling with nervousness.”

This was her second time seeing Pei Shan, and she inexplicably felt a lot of kindness.

Pei Shan looked at her spoiled expression and her heart was frightened. This girl was really different from the artists she had brought before, she didn’t seem to be afraid of her at all.

All the artists she had taken on before had been afraid of her serious face. Even though she had been with them for a long time, and had been gentle with them, whatever she said, they would do it to the letter without failing, but this Ling Xi… She was kind of interesting.
