The Appearance of the Seven Ex-boyfriends…. WTF? (Part 4)

Recently, Tian Jingzhi felt that the frequency of her sneezes had increased. But to blame it on other people bad mouthing her behind her back, well one could go on the internet and fill the city with all of her hate comments. 

Tian Jingzhi went to the TV station to record for the talk show ‘More than Beauty’. They were poorly received before, however, the producer called Tian Jingzhi beamingly the day before. He thanked Tian Jingzhi for her car accident, because the audience were very eager to watch the next release, and they predict that broadcast of the new episode may be a new record high.

What "thank you for being in a car accident"?! They should be lucky that she, Tian Jingzhi, had a good temper, otherwise she would have gotten her fans to smash their house!

Before the recording, Tian Jingzhi was lying on the sofa. Her eyes were closed, trying to catch up on some sleep. Due to her lack of rest, there were dark circles under her eyes, and she lacked her usual momentum, successfully turning her into a ball of dark cotton. Assistant Director Feng Dongdong tiptoed into her dressing room with a cup of iced coffee and yogurt. He quietly said, "Miss Tian, the iced coffee you wanted has arrived."

Tian Jingzhi lethargically took two sips of the iced coffee before putting it aside. Her whole face scrunched up from its bitterness, but felt a little more awake.

“What time is it?”

"There’s still twenty minutes before the program starts." Feng Dongdong drank from the yogurt tube, with the look of wanting to gossip on his face, "Miss Tian, you haven’t been sleeping well recently?"

Tian Jingzhi closed her eyes and said feebly, "Every night, I’ve been having nightmares of a mummified corpse knocking on my door."

“...Don't worry, dreams usually mean the opposite.”

Tian Jingzhi replied back seriously, "You mean that the mummy knocking on my door won’t be a corpse anymore?"

Feng Dongdong swallowed a big mouthful of yogurt, “What I meant was that corpses won’t knock on doors.”

Tian Jingzhi was enlightened and suddenly sat up as she seriously considered, “Isn’t it like that in all the movies? After the protagonist wakes up from a car accident, they  suddenly are able to see spirits and ghosts. But because only the protagonist can see it, they are treated as a mentally ill person..."

Feng Dongdong nodded his head, and then firmly patted her knees and consoled, “Don’t worry Miss Tian, this won’t happen to you. After all, those are meant for the heroines and you have the life of a second female lead.”

“Die! Go die!”

"Ah, Miss Tian, don’t hit me! Don’t do it! Ouch..."

Although Feng Dongdong was beaten, his heart was filled with happiness as a fan. Who was beating her? It’s the celebrity Tian Jingzhi! Although her personality was the complete opposite of the persona she has on TV, a true fan must accept everything about their idol. How can she just give up on her because of her bad character? Then that is not a true fan!

And so, the true fan, Feng Dongdong, was beaten by Tian Jingzhi for a while. A smile never left his face, it was a very disturbing sight.

At this moment, the door of the dressing room was suddenly pushed open and a slender beauty walked in with her arms folded. She was beautiful and domineering. And behind her were three super bodyguards dressed in black. All of them were over 1.8 meters, all of them oozing a do-not-mess-me aura.

Tian Jingzhi immediately showed a "I’m screwed" expression.

Feng Dongrong called out "Miss Zhang" flatteringly before watching the beauty, Miss Zhang signal to the suited bodyguard beside her. Feng Dongdong was immediately taken out by two two of them. The third bodyguard closed the door of the dressing room and kept guard outside. 

The two staff members of the TV station watched this scene, but they collectively acted as if they didn't see anything and quietly walked away. 

Zhang Xuanxuan, the second-generation ancestor of a famous lady and her family were all in the real estate business. She was just an artist to pass time. She does not flaunt herself like other stars, but is quite popular. There was a rumor online that artists Zhang Xuanxuan and Tian Jingzhi were at odds. There was no proof, but their fan clubs did not see eye to eye with one another. 

Tian Jingzhi lowered her head with a guilty conscience. Occasionally peeking at Zhang Xuanxuan from the corner of her eyes, Tian Jingzhi could see her staring at her aggressively. She wished to pretend to faint, pity that her acting skills were not that that high of a level and would immediately be exposed. 

Zhang Xuanxuan approached Tian Jingzhi, who was pretending to be dead. With a long face, she said, "Tian Jingzhi, you ignored my calls for a whole month and denied all visits at the hospital... Do you think you can hide forever?" 

It seems I really can’t hide forever. Tian Jingzhi simply straightened her back and confidently refuted: "Why should I be hiding? Are you trying to create a scandal that we are in a disagreement to hype yourself up?" 

"Why does a first line artist need a second line artist to hype? Tian Jingzhi, think about what you did last month, when I was aboard shooting a MV. You dare to feign innocence?" Zhang Xuanxuan pointed at her nose and reminded her word by word, “Rose. Garden. Remember now?” 

More than a month ago, on the day she decided to propose to Li Yanzhi, Tian Jingshi snuck into Zhang Xuanxuan's garden. The garden was a sea full of roses in peak bloom. However, less than one hour later, Zhang Xuanxuan's garden was completely ransacked by her and the garden became a miserable sight. And she, Tian Jingshi, happily walked away, hugging a large bouquet of roses and two large boxes of rose petals.. 

The deed was already done, and she had already mentally prepared to be scolded by Zhang Xuanxuan. Tian Jingzhi stood up, slapped herself twice on the face, and shamelessly played rogue, “Yeah, I picked all of those roses. Just hit me! Hit me here and tomorrow's entertainment news headlines will be about a first line beating a second line. Can still be used as hype!”

Zhang Xuanxuan looked down upon her face, like a quality inspector facing a pig's head. The assessment results came out quickly, “Xiaozhi, your ophryon is dark and your eyes are dull.” (Face reading)

Tian Jingzhi's eyes widened in surprise, "I just got discharged from the hospital, and I even paid for the expenses myself. Am I not unlucky enough?" 

Zhang Xuanxuan sneered, "Didn't I warn you long ago that you don't even have a marriage line in your palm. Don't think about marriage proposals, yet you refuse to listen." 

"That’s unscientific!"

"Xiaoyan's rejection was very scientific in my world."

"Then why is it Xie Lingli every time?" 

"There is no scientific explanation for that." 

Tian Jingzhi was devastated, "I really want to rip my clothes and run out of the dressing room crying." 

Zhang Xuanxuan sneered again and calmly replied, “This is definitely not scientific. I have no interest in women, and my fiance, Hong Shiguang, has been crowned the ‘most holy man’ in the world.”

Tian Jingzhi and Zhang Xuanxuan made a pose of holding a halo in their hands together. They both gagged in 100% synchronization, and then quickly returned to normal. They were completely a pair of harmonious best friends. 

Zhang Xuanxuan patted Tian Jingzhi's dispirited head, "Be good, you must believe in science. I'll take you to see my master after the show is over." 

“Master?” Tian Jingzhi jumped up suddenly, “No! Absolutely not!”
