Chapter 128 - Bickering

However, Yang Lu refused to give up. She stood behind Ding Shan, trying to find something to say, “What’s wrong? We haven’t seen each other for such a long time. Have you become estranged from your old friends? I’m really sad. Otherwise, I’ll become popular again. Do you look down on me? That’s true. Like you, I can’t dominate the hot searches for half a month.”

After Yang Lu finished speaking, she laughed with her assistant.

Ding Shan had dominated the hot searches for this time. Everyone in the industry was watching. During this period, there had been a lot of promotions that had not rippled. Ding Shan’s news had utterly suppressed them. The netizens had all gone to keep an eye on the gossip. Who would still watch the promotions of other celebrities?

There was no other way. It was rare for the entertainment industry to stop for half a month. All the promotions, warm-ups, and scandals had been put off. Who would dare to compete with Ding Shan’s popularity this time?

They had wasted their efforts and still couldn’t get exposure. However, this also delayed a lot of things. Everyone was angry but didn’t dare to speak out. It was Ding Shan’s fault for being famous. The news that broke out was indeed shocking.

Recently, Yang Lu didn’t have any dramas that needed to be promoted. She didn’t delay anything and had plenty of time. Instead, she followed the gossip for half a month and watched the ups and downs of her former strong opponent being covered in dirt. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. At this moment, when she saw Ding Shan, she was still a little excited.

However, Yang Lu and Ding Shan had always been on bad terms. The words that came out of their mouths were habitually laced with bullets. When she saw that Ding Shan ignored her, Yang Lu could not help but mock her again, “An actor’s way of appearing on the hot searches is a family matter. This is unheard of. Ding Shan, you have brought a good start to our industry. From the looks of it, this way of attracting attention is much better than putting in the effort to promote it!”

Ding Shan turned her body and replied coldly, “Would you choke to death if you don’t speak? I’ve made a fool out of you. What bad luck.”

Yang Lu was a little surprised. Ding Shan had a temper in the past, but she was always submissive. She was like a bullied kitten, hiding behind her tigress manager. She had also punched cotton, so she did not feel comfortable no matter what.

Now, she dared to choke back. It seemed that she had changed a lot. She had fired that vicious manager and Ding Shan had awakened alone.

Yang Lu looked at Ding Shan curiously. “Little Ding Shan, you’re good. Have you thought things through? You’re not a kitten anymore?”

Ding Shan turned around, took off her sunglasses, and looked straight at Yang Lu, “I didn’t say it before, but that doesn’t mean I don’t remember it. Yang Lu, you’ve said many sarcastic things with that mouth of yours. Every time I see you, you haven’t been quiet. I won’t tolerate it anymore in the future. You’d better not provoke me.”

Yang Lu shrugged nonchalantly. “I’m aboveboard. I say it in front of you. I’m not afraid. Unlike your manager, who specializes in stabbing people in the back and doesn’t allow me to talk about you?”

Ding Shan sighed, “Yang Hua has done many bad things to you in the past. I don’t want to apologize on her behalf, but I don’t have any malice toward you. I don’t care if you talk about me, but your mouth is too harsh. I don’t like hearing it.”

Yang Lu raised her eyebrows, looked at Ding Shan, and smiled meaningfully, “Enough. What do you mean by apologizing or not apologizing? In this line of work, it all depends on one’s ability. That manager of yours has set me up several times. I can’t blame anyone for not being able to retaliate. I’m just simply itching to see you. What should I do now?”

Yang Lu’s appearance was quite dazzling. Her thick eyebrows and red lips were full of charm. At this moment, she smiled at Ding Shan, looking like a big sister, “But you, Little Ding Shan, you’re different. In the past, you were raised like a little fool. Now, you look much smarter.”

Ding Shan frowned. “Don’t call me little Ding Shan. It’s weird.”

Yang Lu was older than her, but she had entered the industry earlier, so the two could be considered the same batch of actors. They were often compared.

Yang Lu used to use the matter of age to mock her, saying she was a little kid. What kind of acting could she do? She would obediently go home and look for her father to act coquettishly. At that time, she was so angry that she was about to die.

Ding shan retorted coldly, “Are you constantly reminding yourself that you are older than me? Oh, I think I see the wrinkles in the corner of your eyes. Why? Have you overeaten my melons recently and haven’t had time to take care of them?”
