The fas.h.i.+on editor asked curiously, “Why?”
She was considerably close with Lin Xiaojuan, but they were not at the stage where they could talk about anything and everything yet. There were some things that she was still unwilling to share.
“Different views.” Lin Xiaojuan responded.
“I thought that the two of you separated in peace.”
Lin Xiaojuan smiled and was unwilling to continue further.
Just then, Jing Yun was already on stage.
Every celebrity was required to go on stage to say a few words in an attempt to sell out their auctioned product. The first to go up was Jing Yun. She had auctioned a bracelet. On stage, Jing Yun looked stunning. The Movie Diva had a lot of attention, and her smile was very attractive.
“Jing Yun is really so pretty.”
“Yeah, the b.u.mpkin look she had from a few years back is gone. She looks stunning and beautiful now. She’s so inspirational!”
“She’s pretty, and she has good acting skills. She has a good relations.h.i.+p with the audience too. If she’s not popular, who would be?”
“She is the exact example of someone whose tables have turned. I’m so envious!”
“The main thing is that she has a good manager. This manager dressed her well to look beautiful and eye-catching. The previous manager she had cannot match up to the current one.”
Lin Xiaojuan listened as the female celebrities on the next table praised Jing Yun crazily. They even kept it in mind to insult her discreetly.
“Aunt, don’t be mad. They’re just silly remarks.”
“I’m not angry.”
Lin Xiaojuan did not retaliate. The fas.h.i.+on editor smiled at the young star on the next table and asked, “What’s your name? Why do you look so unfamiliar?”
The female celebrity who had just insulted Lin Xiaojuan was really excited when the fas.h.i.+on editor spoke to her. She replied humbly. “I am Ling Xi. I acted as Concubine Li in the ‘Gu Concubine Diaries.’”
“Concubine Li? I don’t know.” The fas.h.i.+on editor shook her head.
Ling Xi looked unhappy, but she did not dare to offend the fas.h.i.+on editor.
“We don’t care about who you support. You can kneel down and lick the person if you want. However, bootlicking someone and stepping on their head at the same time is really gross.” The fas.h.i.+on editor was indeed a fas.h.i.+on editor. One sentence from her could make things difficult for others.
Ling Xi’s eyes watered from being scolded. She was still young, and she could not control herself. “When did I kneel and bootlick others? How could you accuse the innocent?”
“You do look like someone who would.”
Lin Xiaojuan poured the fas.h.i.+on editor a cup of water. “Soothe your throat. Why bother being calculative with them? Indeed, I don’t have what it takes to make Jing Yun big.”
Lin Xiaojuan stared at Lin Xiaojuan in spite and looked away. The fas.h.i.+on editor stopped provoking her.
After the fas.h.i.+on editor had insulted them, there was peace for a moment. No one dared to say anything overly rude. After all, being said to be a bootlicker was not good for their reputation.
Jing Yun smiled on stage. “I have been in this industry for over a decade. I am always grateful for the seniors who had helped me get to where I am today. I am also thankful for my fans who have been with me throughout all these years. Today, this bracelet means a lot to me. It was given to me from a good friend of mine from years ago. She hoped that I would not forget where I had come from, and she wanted me to chase after my dreams. I have always remembered her words. Today, I wish to auction this bracelet out so that others would not forget where they had started from and to continue chasing after their dreams.”
Lin Xiaojuan humphed. She lowered her voice. “Editor Zhou, help me bid for that bracelet.”
“You like it?”
Tong Hua humphed.
Lin Xiaojuan did not answer. The fas.h.i.+on editor said, “Fine, I got it.”
Tong Hua was the last celebrity to go on stage.
He smiled as he took out the tourmaline necklace. On stage, he looked stunning. He was a role model of how every parent wished their child would be. Courteous and polite, warm and adorable. “This is a bracelet that my Mommy had designed a few years back. It was originally meant for a friend, but sadly, that friend was anxious to seek quick benefits, so she did not want it. Now, I am auctioning this. Good things are meant to be shared anyway.”
