Chapter 2278 - 24: She Likes Calling Me a Fool

As more and more people gathered on set, Song Le became increasingly agitated, clinging to Gu Xiran’s calf and refusing to let go, completely looking aggrieved.

"Xiran... I beg you, these are all misunderstandings, please clarify to everyone."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Gu Xiran pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes became sharp as she looked at Song Le.

Heh...

Gu Xiran’s lips curved into a faint sneer as she maintained an elegant demeanor in front of the media, and then slowly spoke.

"Sorry, Miss Song, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying..."

After pausing, Gu Xiran said softly, "I’m not directly involved, how can I explain your relationship with Director Ou to everyone...? Well, I think these things should be clear to someone, perhaps Director Ou’s wife or Director Ou himself."

"I know I’ve always been easy-going within the circle, but upon reflection, I really shouldn’t be too accommodating, otherwise, it might inevitably become a situation where I’m easily bullied."

Gu Xiran seriously self-reflected, seemingly addressing Song Le, but actually speaking to everyone present.

After all, the entertainment world is like this, if you don’t make things clear, others will inevitably make assumptions, survival of the fittest, treating you as someone easy to bully.

Song Le: "..."

Song Le’s expression changed slightly, somewhat embarrassed.

Beside her, Sister Ping actively stepped in front of Gu Xiran, then bluntly kicked Song Le away, showing no mercy.

Originally, there was a desire to keep the peace and not get involved in these matters, but since Song Le brought it up here, naturally one couldn’t indulge wrongdoing...

"Ah..."

Song Le was kicked away, her chest hurting terribly, as Sister Ping’s force was not small at all.

"Sister Ping, you..."

"Since the media are all present, we won’t let you leave empty-handed, here we happen to have footage of Miss Song’s previous audition..."

As she said this, Sister Ping’s mouth curved into a brilliant smile.

"Let’s take a look first before we speak."

Upon hearing this, Song Le’s expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat grim.

Soon, the media’s attention focused on the video in Sister Ping’s hand. In the video, not only was Song Le laughing during the scene, but also her performance lacked sincerity, a mix of truth and falsehood, all too obvious.

This level of appeal landing the lead role — if not through backdoor means, what else could it be?

Sister Ping cleared her throat, speaking innocently, "Our Xiran doesn’t want to stir up trouble, believing that some issues are best left unsaid... but now that things have been pushed to this point, can’t ignore it any longer."

"Otherwise, just now with Miss Song’s scene, those unaware might think that our Xiran is making things difficult for Miss Song... in fact, knowing Miss Song plays the lead, our Xiran genuinely hoped to have the chance to cooperate with Miss Song... it just didn’t expect... Miss Song’s role came without proper justification..."

"You..."

Sister Ping spoke with a look of helplessness.

"Miss Song, if we really wanted to make things difficult, this video would have been publicly released long ago... now forced by circumstances, you made a scene, only then did we release the video, sorry."

...

"Wow... scandal... looks like Director Ou is quite bold too, with such poor audition performance, actually managed to endure it..."

"Isn’t it? Song Le came today to make a fuss mostly trying to drag Gu Xiran down with her."

"Popularity brings disputes, Gu Xiran has been in the industry for years, and many have tried to use her reputation for promotion, not just Song Le."

The media whispered among themselves, everything was understood without words.

Song Le’s face looked unpleasant, extremely embarrassed, glaring hatefully at Gu Xiran, that hint of hatred seemed almost ready to devour Gu Xiran.

Gu Xiran, however, maintained a faint curve on her lips, glanced at the watch on her wrist, and pressed her lips together.

"30 minutes have already been wasted, kindly ask security to clear unnecessary personnel, so as not to affect the normal filming of the crew..."

Upon hearing Gu Xiran’s words, Director Zhou immediately arranged with the producer for security to come over.

...

After a pause, Gu Xiran looked toward the media, smiling politely.

"The crew will regularly arrange time for interviews with everyone, today let’s ask you to leave first, so as not to affect our filming, thank you... As for the news you wanted... I think Sister Ping has already provided it."

What Gu Xiran said was quite appropriate, the media couldn’t find any problem.

"Alright, Miss Gu."

"Indeed, today’s news was pretty good... although without substantial news from Miss Gu, at least it can be turned into a headline about a third-tier actress trying to extort Gu Xiran and gain publicity."
