Chapter 25：Tang Xinyan Was Smart

When Tang Yurou heard Tang Xinyan say she could prove that she did not rip her skirt, a tinge of guilt flashed in her watery eyes that were hidden underneath her long eyelashes. However, she did not show it on her face. She was still pretending to be soft and innocent. "Mrs. Hou, you must believe me! How is it possible for me to rip my own dress?"

Compared to Tang Xinyan's overly delicate and charming looks, Mrs. Hou was more fond of the pure and soft type like Tang Yurou. 

At least, men would not be infatuated by her at first glance.

Mrs. Hou lightly tapped on Tang Yurou's shivering and delicate shoulders. She nodded and glared at Tang Xinyan. "Do you have any evidence? If I find out that you have wronged Yurou, there's no need for you to join the audition today."

Tang Xinyan was astounded by Tang Yurou's tricks. She had managed to get Mrs. Hou to stand on her side with just a few words.

Mrs. Hou, on the other hand, was really lacking in self-confidence, was she really afraid that Tang Xinyan would seduce Director Hou?

Indeed, playing dirty was not something new in the entertainment industry, but it did not mean that she was willing to use her body in exchange for benefits.

Even if she did not get any roles, or could not get a foothold in her career anymore, she would still stick to her own principles. As a matter of fact, throughout the six months after her resignation, she had been learning about fashion design and her ambition was to become a top-notch fashion designer.

Tang Xinyan brushed her long hair aside, and her red lips were slightly curved upward. She gave a cold smile, and said, "First of all, I did not have any contact with Tang Yurou when I was in the waiting room. I was the one who came in first. Tang Yurou came in after me and it was a minute right before Mrs. Hou came in. If I really wanted to rip her dress, why would I choose to do it when Mrs. Hou is here? Not only that, she followed me here. I didn't ask her to come here! If Mrs. Hou has the time, you can check the surveillance cameras. Then, you will find out whether I am lying or not."

Without giving Tang Yurou any chance to quibble, Tang Xinyan extended her long, lean and pale right hand. She held her thumb up right in front of Mrs. Hou. "Mrs. Hou, take a look at this. I left some black ink stains on my thumb when I was highlighting the key points on the script. If I were to tear Tang Yurou's dress, I would have left some black stains on her white fabric. Madam, please take a look at her dress, it is clean without any dirty stains."

Her self-defence was flawless and unbeatable. Looking at Tang Xinyan who spoke fluently, Tang Yurou's face reddened when Tang Xinyan seized every possible chance for her to fight back. 

Tang Yurou was very anxious, before she could open her mouth to say anything, Tang Xinyan's soft yet adamant voice sounded again, "Lastly, Tang Yurou was wearing a breast-wrapped, ankle-length dress. If I really wanted to embarrass her, I would have torn the dress from the top. There's no reason for me to rip the hemline. If I really were to do that, I would have had to bend down. By bending down, I would have exposed my headful of hair which would have been a chance for Tang Yurou to strike back. Mrs. Hou, does my hair look messy to you?" 

Tang Yurou's heart had almost jumped out from her chest. She looked at Tang Xinyan in disbelief.

When did Tang Xinyan become so smart and astute?

Tang Xinyan had always given Tang Yurou the impression that she was a person who was merely pleasant to the eye but was essentially useless. Even when Tang Yurou snatched her role and her advertisement contracts, she was a cosetted girl who kept her silence and did nothing about it!

Little did Tang Yurou know, Tang Xinyan had refused to argue with her before this because she once treasured their relationship as sisters. She did not want to ruin their relationship. 

But things were different now, Tang Yurou had crossed the line. There was no need for Tang Xinyan to tolerate or bear with her anymore!
