581 Shi Xi Knows Three and Handles Three
"I don't need to report to you why I'm looking for him, do I?" Shi Xi asked indifferently.
"Why not? Do you know who I am?" The woman lifted her chin slightly, wanting to look down at Shi Xi.
Even though she was wearing high heels, she wasn't as tall as Shi Xi.
Shi Xi sized up the woman and had some impression of her. She said uncertainly, "Zhou Xiangyuan?"
Zhou Xiangyuan snorted and said in a weird tone, "I thought you wouldn't recognize your old friends after you became a big star!"
Shi Xi was speechless.
They couldn't really be considered friends.
However, they were all in Feng City, and Zhou Xiangyuan and the host had eaten and shopped together.
They were like fair-weather friends.
"I'm going to look for Leng Qiankun. Why are you stopping me?" Shi Xi asked.
Zhou Xiangyuan's eyes were filled with hostility. "Leng Qiankun is my fiancé. Can't I ask a beautiful woman who went to look for my fiancé?"
"You're engaged?" Shi Xi was surprised.
"You just found out?" Zhou Xiangyuan frowned. "Leng Qiankun and I have both posted it on our Moments."
Shi Xi paused for a moment. "I don't check my Moments often."
Ever since she had entered the entertainment industry, her circle of friends had all sorts of content. It was all over the place, so Shi Xi didn't really read it.
Zhou Xiangyuan gritted her teeth. "Didn't Tao Yuxuan tell you?"
Given Tao Yuxuan's gossipy nature, she would definitely report anything related to Shi Xi.
Shi Xi recalled that Tao Yuxuan seemed to have said something like "Why are there so many people getting engaged recently?"
Was she talking about Leng Qiankun?
"I'm here to talk to Leng Qiankun about serious business," Shi Xi said calmly.
"Tsk, what business does a woman have with a man?" Zhou Xiangyuan sized Shi Xi up with disdain and asked, "Is it because you've run out of money recently and you want Leng Qiankun to invest some money in you?"
"No," Shi Xi replied.
Zhou Xiangyuan rolled her eyes. "That's more or less the same. Why else would you look for your bootlicker number one?"
Shi Xi was speechless. Was it really appropriate for her to say that about Leng Qiankun?
"Why don't you go and find your good brother?" Zhou Xiangyuan continued to mock her and said in realization, "That's right. You're not the Shi family's biological daughter. They've already done their best to raise you for so many years. Come to think of it, you're just a country bumpkin's daughter. You can't help Leng Qiankun in his career."
Shi Xi was already immune to such words. After hearing that, she asked, "Are you done?"
Zhou Xiangyuan looked at Shi Xi and said exaggeratedly, "What's wrong? Did I hit your sore spot?"
"I'm really sorry, but I'm a straightforward person, and I don't use my brain when I speak. I'll say whatever I think of, so you won't mind, right?"
"I don't mind. After all, your rectum connects to your brain," Shi Xi replied.
Zhou Xiangyuan thought for a moment before she reacted and asked, "You're saying that my brain is filled with sh*t?"
Shi Xi put on an innocent expression. "You said it yourself."
Zhou Xiangyuan's face contorted. "You b*stard, how dare you scold me?"
Shi Xi took half a step back and said in surprise, "I didn't say a single curse!"
You were the one who said it!
Zhou Xiangyuan did not care about what Shi Xi or herself had said. She raised her hand to slap Shi Xi.
"If you can do it, then don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing her raise her hand, Shi Xi grabbed her wrist before her hand could land on her. "Miss Zhou, how did I offend you?"
Zhou Xiangyuan was even angrier now. She shouted, "You third party who meddles in other people's marriages! You're asking me how I've offended you? I'm going to beat you to death today, you shameless third party!"
Shi Xi: ?!?
You just said that Leng Qiankun is your fiancé.
Don't you know what it means to be unmarried?

582 I Didn't Expect Shi Xu To Be So Gossipy!
There weren't many people in the hall, so when they saw the two beautiful women quarreling, they all took a few more glances.
Seeing that they were really going to fight, the security guard immediately came up and pulled the two apart.
He was mainly pulling Zhou Xiangyuan.
Zhou Xiangyuan was lifted into the air by the two security guards, and she was still kicking her legs and scolding, "Are you all blind? Don't you know who I am?"
"I'm your President Leng's fiancée, your future lady boss!"
The security guard hesitated.
But even if she was the lady boss, she shouldn't be such a shrew!
Standing not far away, Shi Xi saw that someone was already taking pictures with their cell phones. She knew that things had gone out of hand today and that she probably wouldn't be able to see Leng Qiankun. "I'll be leaving first."
Zhou Xiangyuan was still shouting, "Stop her! Beat this shameless third party to death!"
Shi Xi was speechless.
Fortunately, the security guards were smart enough not to stop Shi Xi.
When Shi Xi returned to the car, she was in a daze.
Leng Qiankun had such a shrewish fiancée.
It became difficult to meet.
Shi Xi had no choice but to call Leng Qiankun and explain the situation to him.
"Sure," Leng Qiankun said, "we'll make it more convenient for you to shoot the movie."
Shi Xi was speechless.
She didn't expect it to go so smoothly!
She didn't even mention lowering the endorsement fee!
Thinking about what had happened in the hall, Shi Xi apologized, "I wanted to talk to you face to face, but I met your fiancée. She seems to have misunderstood."
"Did she give you a hard time?" Leng Qiankun asked immediately.
Shi Xi, "...Uh, congratulations on your engagement."
"I didn't really look at my WeChat Moments and no one told me about it. I'll give you the engagement gift later."
"It's just a business marriage between us. We have no feelings for each other," Leng Qiankun explained.
"You don't have to explain."
"What did she say to you?" Leng Qiankun asked again. "Did she make you angry?"
Shi Xi didn't want to sow discord between the two of them, so she could only say, "It's nothing. You're already engaged. Just get along well."
With that, Shi Xi quickly found an excuse to hang up the phone, because she felt that she was becoming more and more like a white lotus.
Asking for help from one's own pursuer, it was really too wrong.
Especially when Leng Qiankun was engaged!
At that thought, Shi Xi gave Tao Yuxuan a call.
"Eh? You're not filming today?" Tao Yuxuan's tone was relaxed and she said happily, "Do you want to go shopping? I just got to know a cute little puppy. I'll show you."
"Leng Qiankun is engaged." Shi Xi went straight to the point.
The other side was silent for three seconds.
"How did you know? Didn't he block you from his posts on his Moments?" Tao Yuxuan asked.
Shi Xi was speechless.
So he had been hiding it from her on purpose?
"Shi Xu told you? I didn't expect him to be so gossipy!" Tao Yuxuan guessed.
Shi Xi: You still have the nerve to criticize others?
"Can't it be my mom who told me?" Shi Xi said.
"Aunty really cares about the younger generation." Tao Yuxuan immediately changed her tone.
Shi Xi: "..."
"I went to Leng Qiankun's office today and met Zhou Xiangyuan." Shi Xi leaned against the back of the car seat and massaged her temples.
"Zhou Xiangyuan is so jealous. Did she say something?" Tao Yuxuan immediately guessed it and gossiped, "I heard that she often scolds and disgraces you behind your back."
"I didn't offend her, did I?" Shi Xi asked innocently.
The host had even gone shopping and eaten with her before!
"Well, Leng Qiankun likes you!" Tao Yuxuan said confidently.
"I'd rather he didn't like me," Shi Xi replied.
Tao Yuxuan: "It doesn't matter if he likes you or not. He's already engaged. He's definitely going to walk all the way to the wedding."

583 Are You Trying To Seduce Leng Qiankun
"How did they get engaged?" Shi Xi couldn't help but gossip.
With Leng Qiankun's judgment, why would he choose...
Forget it. Leng Qiankun liked the host.
The personality of the original owner of this body was not much better than Zhou Xiangyuan's.
"Zhou Xiangyuan's father is the president of a bank. He borrowed a huge sum of money from the Leng family!" Tao Yuxuan explained.
The moment Shi Xi heard the words 'bank president', she understood.
"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?" Shi Xi asked.
"No more!" Tao Yuxuan promised.
Shi Xi didn't believe her.
A woman's mouth was a ghost that lied!
Fortunately, this matter was resolved smoothly.
In the future, she just had to keep a distance from Leng Qiankun - just like before.
Although Shi Xi had such thoughts, things were not going to develop as she had expected.
*
Zhou Xiangyuan only managed to calm down after Shi Xi left.
"Let go!" Zhou Xiangyuan ordered.
Seeing Shi Xi leave, the security guards let go of her.
The security guard's hand was bleeding from her nails.
Zhou Xiangyuan did not even look at him, nor did she apologize. She walked straight to the CEO's private elevator.
She left everyone in the hall with a beautiful back view.
In the elevator, Zhou Xiangyuan tidied up her hair and makeup and was ready to meet Leng Qiankun.
The elevator door opened, and the secretary stood up to stop her. "Miss Zhou, President Leng is busy."
"Busy with what? Busy flirting with a mistress?" Zhou Xiangyuan rolled her eyes.
"President Leng is alone in the office." The secretary smiled apologetically.
Zhou Xiangyuan sized up the secretary before her, and her eyes fell on her short skirt. "Are you trying to seduce your President Leng by dressing so s*xily?"
The female secretary's expression did not look too good. She said, "Miss Zhou, I'm already married."
"A hungry married woman. I understand." Zhou Xiangyuan stared at the secretary and said, "This is fake, right?"
The female secretary: "..."
"Go to the Human Resources Department and hand in your resignation letter. You don't have to come to work tomorrow," Zhou Xiangyuan said indifferently.
"I didn't make any mistakes at work. You can't let me leave."
"It won't look good if you make too much of a scene." Zhou Xiangyuan stared at the secretary's face. "Your makeup is so white. Even people who have been dead for three days are not as white as you."
The female secretary, who was naturally fair: "..."
It wasn't that she couldn't find a way to retort.
She didn't dare to retort.
After feeling good for a while, she'd get fired.
As a social animal, the female secretary could only endure it and even smiled apologetically. "I'll talk to the Human Resources Department."
Zhou Xiangyuan looked at the secretary's bag and said in disdain, "You can only afford this LV if you follow Leng Qiankun, right?"
The female secretary with a monthly salary of over 10,000: "..."
It's just a bag, and I can't buy it myself?
After Zhou Xiangyuan was done with her disdain, she said, "I'm a very reasonable person. I'll let bygones be bygones. If you don't resign, don't blame me for making a scene."
The female secretary: TMD, you've already made a scene.
Even if Zhou Xiangyuan did not mention it, the female secretary wanted to change her position with the Human Resources Department.
Zhou Xiangyuan was about to enter the office after she finished scolding the female secretary.
The female secretary remembered her duty and said, "Miss Zhou, you can't go in."
"Get lost!" Zhou Xiangyuan pushed her aside and entered the CEO's office.
Leng Qiankun had just finished his call with Shi Xi. When he saw Zhou Xiangyuan enter, his face turned extremely dark. "Did you cause trouble for Shi Xi?"
Zhou Xiangyuan's anger immediately rose, and she said sarcastically, "Yo, that little mistress is really good. She's already complaining? She was the one who scolded me first! Why is she pretending to be a white lotus?"

584 Shi Xi, Get Out of the Entertainment Industry
"Shi Xi is not that kind of person," Leng Qiankun said in a deep voice.
Zhou Xiangyuan was jealous of Shi Xi, so she didn't hold back at all. "You like her, so of course you think she's good in every way. Do you know what she's like in private?"
"I grew up with her. I know what kind of person she is the best."
"..."
The more Leng Qiankun defended Shi Xi, the more Zhou Xiangyuan believed that Shi Xi was a b*tch.
Quarreling would only make Zhou Xiangyuan angrier.
Finally, Leng Qiankun warned Zhou Xiangyuan, "Don't go looking for trouble with Shi Xi!"
Zhou Xiangyuan rushed out of the office in a huff.
The secretary had just poured the coffee and was about to bring it in when she saw Zhou Xiangyuan slam the door and come out.
Zhou Xiangyuan glared at the female secretary. "What are you looking at?! Even if I quarrel with Leng Qiankun, it's not your place to take the lead!"
"I'm here to deliver coffee to you and President Leng," the female secretary said, swallowing her anger.
Zhou Xiangyuan picked up a cup of coffee and said sarcastically, "Hot coffee, not bad."
The female secretary did not understand.
The next second, Zhou Xiangyuan splashed the coffee on the secretary.
The hot coffee spilled on her. The female secretary threw the tray in her hand away and wiped it with a tissue.
Zhou Xiangyuan rolled her eyes, turned around, and left in her high heels.
It was just a female secretary. She couldn't do much.
Her main enemy was Shi Xi.
*
Shi Xi did not expect Zhou Xiangyuan to bear a grudge against her so quickly.
She had thought that the matter would be over once she was far away from Leng Qiankun.
However, Shi Xi was bought off the trending list by noon.
#Shi Xi Mistress#
The topic was simple and clear, and Zhou Xiangyuan immediately bought this topic to be the number one trending topic.
She clicked on it and saw Zhou Xiangyuan's complaint.
@Zhouzhou Xiangyuan: [Miss Shi Xi knows that I'm engaged to Mr. Leng, but she's still entangled with him. She even found Mr. Leng's company.]
[After I made it clear that they weren't allowed to meet, Shi Xi insulted and beat me up. If the security guards hadn't stopped her, I might have already been beaten up.]
[...]
[I just want Miss Shi Xi to publicly apologize to me and not disturb my marriage with Mr. Leng.]
[I don't mean to take up public resources, but Miss Shi Xi has gone too far.]
Zhou Xiangyuan had written a long essay, portraying Shi Xi as a mistress who 'stole someone else's husband', 'knew what she had to do', and 'had no bottom line'.
As soon as this article was published, coupled with the fact that it was the top trending search topic, which cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, it immediately attracted the attention of netizens.
[F*ck! Shi Xi did this? This is too explosive, right?]
[People have long said that Shi Xi has a sugar daddy. Is this the one? Has anyone found out the identity of that Mr. Leng?]
[What's the point of keeping such a person? Hurry up and ban them all online!]
[Shi Xi, get out of the entertainment industry!]
[...]
The haters took advantage of the situation and boycotted Shi Xi, asking her to get out of the entertainment industry.
When the fans saw the news, they were so shocked that they couldn't believe their eyes.
[How is that possible? How could Xi Xi be a [email protected] Xi come out and explain.]
[That article didn't even have a picture, and you started making it up? If you have the hammer, then let it go, don't f*cking hide!]
[I've had enough of this slander. When has Xi Xi not been slandered? If you have a hammer, then quickly hammer it to death, or else I'll sue you until you doubt your life.]
[Shi Xi's fans are so unyielding. Aren't they afraid of getting hammered?]
[Ha? If she's the third party, I'm the first to stop being her fan. If she's spreading rumors, the anti-fans who spread the rumors don't have a household register.]
[@Zhouzhou Xiangyuan, if there's a hammer, then let it go. Otherwise, you'll have bought the hot one for nothing since it's so expensive.]

585 Shi Xi, You're Eating a Melon On Your Own Head
As the end of the year approached, the celebrities' melon seeds were getting bigger and bigger, and the netizens were eating them with great relish.
Just a second ago, Shi Xi had been envious of someone else's watermelons, but in the next second, she saw herself as the mistress.
Shi Xi thought, 'F*ck, I'm eating a melon on myself.'
After reading Zhou Xiangyuan's complaint, Shi Xi was speechless.
There was nothing between her and Leng Qiankun.
Han Chuan was the first to call. He asked Shi Xi, "Have you seen Weibo?"
"Yes, I saw it. I went to look for Leng Qiankun to talk about the Academy," Shi Xi replied.
"Alright, I'll get the studio to make an announcement in response." Han Chuan still trusted Shi Xi.
Shi Xi was ambitious and willing to work hard to improve herself.
Such an outstanding artiste would never make the mistake of being a mistress.
How much money can you earn by being a third party?
How could it be more profitable than starting a business?
[@Shi Xi Studio: Shi Xi and Mr. Leng are just friends. They don't have an improper relationship as the rumors on the internet say. She is still single, thank you.]
The studio's positive response gave the fans a strong shot of reassurance.
[My Xi has already responded. What other moves does that @Zhouzhou Xiangyuan have?]
[If there's a hammer, then let it go. What's the point of just sending words and creating rumors?]
[Shi Xi is both beautiful and rich. What's the point of being a mistress????]
[...]
After Zhou Xiangyuan saw Shi Xifang's explanation, she snorted coldly and played the video.
Since she had bought the trending search, she had already made full preparations.
First, she sent a written complaint. After waiting for Shi Xi's reply, she brought out the crucial evidence.
[@Zhouzhou Xiangyuan: This is the video of Shi Xi hitting me when I went to the company to look for my fiancé.]
In the short video, it was obvious that Shi Xi had come to look for someone.
After that, Zhou Xiangyuan appeared and the two of them started arguing.
However, the video had been edited and the part where Zhou Xiangyuan had attacked first had been cut out.
They could only see the security guards stopping the two of them.
In the chaos, of course, the crying child would get candy.
Hence, the netizens were on Zhou Xiangyuan's side again.
[Shi Xi said that she's not a mistress, so why did she look for someone else's fiancé? Don't you know how to keep your distance?]
[Shi Xi's words are so sweet and innocent. On one hand, she says that she's not a mistress, but on the other hand, she's having an ambiguous relationship with another's fiancé.]
[Normal girls would keep a distance from other people's boyfriends, right? How could Shi Xi be so embarrassing?]
[Women know women best. Shixi just wants to be on the top. F*ck.]
Zhou Xiangyuan made herself out to be the victim on Weibo and accused Shi Xi instead.
People would always side with the weaker side.
Seeing how adorable Zhou Xiangyuan was, the netizens' hearts naturally ached for her, and their accusations against Shi Xi became even more severe.
[A person like Shi Xi should be banned from the internet!]
[I knew Shi Xi wasn't a good person.]
[Her background is so deep. She's already a third party. How can she continue to work in the industry?]
[Shi Xi, get out of the entertainment industry!]
[...]
After the video was edited, it was very directional. Even some fans couldn't help but jump out.
[I didn't expect Shi Xi to be this kind of person. Leaving silently is my last act of gentleness.]
[Why do you want to be a mistress?]
[...]
Han Chuan called Shi Xi again. "That surveillance video is not good for you."
Naturally, Shi Xi saw that and said with a headache, "If you want to clear my name, you'll have to go to Leng Qiankun."
"Or should I contact Mr. Leng?" Han Chuan asked.
