In a mansion on the mountainside of Mount Taiping in the southern suburbs of Beijing, a uniformed gardener was watering the flowers in the greenhouse.

A young girl in a red velvet dress suddenly rushed into the greenhouse. She looked to be in a very bad mood, her beautiful features twisted with anger.

Startled, the gardener bent down hastily. “Miss…”

Deng Yue suddenly turned her head and stared at the gardener. She said in an extremely gloomy tone, “Get lost!”

The gardener was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly put down the watering can and turned to leave. After the gardener left, Deng Yue looked at the pot of blooming Chinese roses closest to her. A resentful expression flashed across her face.

She picked up the repair scissors beside her and ruthlessly cut the pot of beautiful Chinese roses into pieces.

“Yueyue, what are you doing!” A wealthy lady in her forties walked into the greenhouse. When she saw Deng Yue ruining the flowers in the greenhouse crazily, she was shocked and hurriedly snatched the scissors from Deng Yue’s hand.

When Deng Yue saw the middle-aged woman, her eyes immediately filled with tears. Her voice was filled with grievance and anger. “Mom, Song Jia was seduced by a b*tch!”

Deng Yue’s mother, Mrs. Deng, was stunned for a moment. “What? Where did you hear that? Didn’t Song Jia eat with us a few days ago? But what your father and I said to him during dinner was indeed a little overboard. Was he angry with you later? Don’t be anxious. Tell Mom slowly.”

Tears fell from Deng Yue’s fair face. She sobbed and said, “After Song Jia left our house that night, I couldn’t get through to him. Even when I sent him messages, he didn’t reply to me. I thought he was angry. I even went to buy many gifts to coax him.”

“And?”

“Later on, I said that I wanted to go to the company to look for him, but he kept saying that he was very busy. I had no choice but to get my secretary to give him the gift.”

Mrs. Deng was a little puzzled. There was nothing wrong with Deng Yue’s words. At most, the two of them were in a cold war.

“Song Jia has always been like this. He’s cold and silent, and he doesn’t care about girls. Didn’t your father and I persuade you not to like him, but you just wouldn’t listen.” Mrs. Deng sighed.

“No!” Hatred suddenly surged into Deng Yue’s tear-stained eyes. “If it weren’t for that woman, Song Jia wouldn’t have treated me like this!”

Looking at Mrs. Deng’s curious and puzzled expression, Deng Yue told her what she had discovered.

For the past few days, Song Jia has been very cold to Deng Yue. Deng Yue was in a very bad mood, so she went to chat with her best friend to relax. While the two of them were chatting, her best friend suddenly mentioned the name of a female celebrity.

“Lu Zhen’s new drama, ‘The Great Wall of War’, is going to air today. I’m going to watch it tonight. Why don’t you stay at my house and watch it with me? Don’t worry about Song Jia. I think you’re just too good to Song Jia. You should be cold to him. Perhaps he’ll come back to please you then.”

“He won’t.” Deng Yue sighed aggrievedly and asked, “Who is Lu Zhen? Have you started chasing celebrities again recently?”

Deng Yue’s best friend liked to chase celebrities. The money she usually spent on them was probably a few million a month.

“No, I like Song Xiao. He’s the male lead in this movie, but this movie is based on the female lead. The production team’s hype is Lu Zhen. I’m prepared to see how Lu Zhen’s acting is. If she’s not worthy of my Song Xiao, I’ll go online and mock her.”

At night, Deng Yue and her best friend watched the first and second episodes of The Great Wall of War.

The first episode of The Great Wall of War was mainly about the background of the era. It showed the turmoil and unrest of the war era, which led to the identity of the male and female leads.

Song Xiao appeared in the first episode. As one of the most popular male celebrities in the entertainment industry, Song Xiao’s appearance was undoubtedly very stunning. The elegant young master in ancient white held a folding fan in his hand. He was elegant and somewhat flirtatious, and his bright eyes seemed to be able to release electricity.

Deng Yue’s best friend was instantly mesmerized. She kept saying to Deng

Yue, “How is it? Is he handsome? Is he more handsome than the Song Jia you like?”

Looking at the man in the television drama, Deng Yue smiled disdainfully. “How can he compare to Song Jia? If Song Jia goes to the entertainment industry, these male celebrities will probably all lose their jobs!”

Deng Yue’s best friend had never seen Song Jia before. When she heard Deng Yues words, she naturally did not believe her. However, she did not continue arguing with Deng Yue and continued to watch the television drama attentively..
