Coldness entered Xia Ling’s eyes. “Xia Yu, I have no interest in your matters, don’t pull me into the mix.”

Xia Yu looked up at her with an innocent expression, the hatred that had flashed through her eyes disappearing in an instant. “Ye Xingling, how can you be considered an outsider? Since you’ve accepted Brother Ziheng’s flowers, don’t pretend to be all high and mighty here. For an artiste like you with no family or another strong backing, how can you really reject Brother Ziheng?”

It looked like she was well-informed in many aspects. Was it Pei Ziheng who told her, or Chu Chen?

It was more likely Chu Chen… Xia Ling only needed to think for a few seconds before coming to this conclusion. Pei Ziheng was unpredictable in his emotions, he hid many of his thoughts and would not share it with anybody else. Chu Chen, on the other hand, was very good at observing the situation, and it was highly likely that he had offered Xia Yu the information to get into her good books.

This also meant that Xia Yu had higher standing as compared to these women that slept with Pei Ziheng.

Hence, the shrewd Chu Chen knew that telling Xia Yu these things would not incur the wrath of Pei Ziheng.

Xia Ling’s gaze landed on Xia Yu, before moving swiftly to the girl beside her, Zhang Suxin. From the sound of it, Zhang Suxin was the lover that Pei Ziheng favored the most now. However, there was a light, red swelling on the girl’s face. It seemed that she had been slapped many times by the lady she was filming with under Xia Yu’s instructions.

If Pei Ziheng did not condone her actions, Xia Yu would not be so arrogant.

Since when did Xia Yu have such a strong standing in Pei Ziheng’s heart?

Xia Ling felt slightly bitter, but she caught herself and thought. Why should I be so bitter? I’ve already died once, what am I trying to hold on to? There was no way that Xia Ling could return to Pei Ziheng’s side, and even if his concubines were locked in battle, what was it to her?

Her phone started to ring again.

Xia Ling collected her emotions and looked down at the phone screen. It was Wei Shaoyin, and the call that she missed because of Xia Yu was also from him. Xia Ling cursed silently, he was really a horrible teammate to have. Every time she wanted to disappear quietly from the familiar faces from the past, he would also appear at the worst of moments to spoil her plans.

She pressed the “answer” button.

He started to scold her as she picked up the call. “Where did you disappear to? Imperial Entertainment has vacated the place for the moment. Come over right now! We are already in position to start filming.”

Of course, the people from Imperial Entertainment were not around, the culprit of all the NGs and the mastermind behind it was right here, and she was busy trying to free herself from them. Xia Ling did not explain all of this to Wei Shaoyin, only saying, “Okay, got it.”

She hung up and said to the two people in front of her coldly. “Sorry, I’m busy. I need to leave.”

“Ye Xingling, stop right there.” Xia Yu blocked her path persistently.

Xia Ling started to get annoyed. “Xia Yu, do you think that everyone is like you and would give anything to sleep with Pei Ziheng? Let me break it down for you — it is Pei Ziheng who is harassing me right now, not the other way around! Instead of spending so much time setting up your grand schemes, why don’t you just admit to yourself that you have failed to make Pei Ziheng loyal to you!”
