Chapter 81 - Retaliation (1)

The next day.

“Ling Xi, do you still remember? I said before that as long as you succeed in the audition, I’ll show you a good thing?”

She had originally thought of secretly targeting Yao Ru, but hadn’t expected Ling Xi to be able to get the director of ‘Haihu bay’ to sign a contract with her, saving her a lot of trouble.

Hearing the voice of Ou Mengxue, Ling Xi smiled gently. This time everything was smooth in her heart, but with regards to the good thing she was talking about she didn’t put it in her heart. “What?”

Ou Mengxue mysteriously pulled her into an unmanned hallway. “Guess who I saw the other day.”

It was rare for her to be in a good mood today, so she asked conversationally, “Who was it?”

“I saw that woman. I didn’t expect that after not seeing her for a year, she has actually become that kind of person.”

Knowing that ‘that woman’ she was referring to was her stepmother, Ling Xi’s pupils shrunk unconsciously, then she heard her continue to say: “You don’t know, when I saw her that day, I almost didn’t recognize her. I never dreamed that someone who had once been a magazine editor would now sweep the streets.”

The hand that Ling Xi was using to hold the drink gradually tightened, the joints of her fingertips becoming more and more distinct.

“And even more ridiculous, I threw her a can and she thanked me. Look, there’s even a picture.”

Ou Mengxue showed her the picture on her cell phone.

What leaped to her eyes was a picture of a sanitation worker kneeling down.

Ling Xi’s heart was pierced with anguish. Although she couldn’t see the face clearly, she also knew that Ou Mengxue hadn’t lie to her because she knew she hated stepmother, but that had been before.

The words of that day seemed to haunt her ears… “Just working for others.” “No, I have a decent job. I haven’t been paid yet because I just started looking for some. Go home and go to bed!”

Was the decent job she was talking about a sanitation worker?

Did she think that by hiding it, it could alleviate her guilt?

Mom, I’m sorry.

Just when she couldn’t bear it anymore, she saw Pei Shan not far behind Ou Mengxue. She deliberately twisted her foot, making the all the contents in the cup spill on Ou Mengxue’s face and body.

“Ah– ”

Ou Mengxue was trying to scream, only to hear Ling Xi scream first- Ling Xi had already fallen to the ground.

Before she could react, she heard Pei Shan’s voice came from behind. “Ou Mengxue, what are you doing?”

Hearing her name, Ou Mengxue came back to her senses. It seemed Pei Shan thought she had pushed her down. “I… Ling Xi accidentally poured the drink on me.”

Pei Shan came forward to help Ling Xi up. “Are you okay?”

“It’s alright, I was too excited and sprained my foot because I wasn’t careful.”

Pei Shan looked at Ou Mengxue unpleasantly. “When you say Ling Xi fall, as an assistant, why did you just stand there like that? The next time this happens, you’ll be replaced.”

Ou Mengxue’s heart filled with a thick sense of disgrace, but she didn’t dare say anything she could only apologize continuously. “I’m sorry, I’ll be a good assistant. I promise that there won’t be a next time.”

Watching the backs of two of people walking in front of her, Ou Mengxue’s eyes glared at them with spite.

If it wasn’t because she wanted to be close to Ling Xi, she definitely wouldn’t have taken this humiliation lying down. Ling Xi, Pei Shan…

After Pei Shan sent them back to the program group, Ling Xi hurriedly apologized to Ou Mengxue. “Mengxue, I’m sorry for just now. I wronged you. It was because I sprained my foot that you were scolded by Sister Pei and your dress became like this.”

Seeing the remorse on her face, Ou Mengxue didn’t doubt it. “It doesn’t matter. It’s true that I didn’t do it well.”

Let’s go, I’ll take you to change first.”
