“Yes.” Qin Zhi’ai nodded. Then she thought of how puzzled she had been when she saw Gu Yusheng, so she asked him, “Why are you here?”

“You called me.” Holding Qin Zhi’ai ‘s hand, Gu Yusheng walked toward the doors of the studio.

“I did?” Qin Zhi’ai frowned and turned around to look at Zhou Jing, who was following her and Gu Yusheng, carrying her bag. Then she raised her eyes to look at Lin Yi, who was sitting not far away from her. She was crying with resentment and grief in her agent’s arms. Suddenly, Qin Zhi’ai seemed to stumble, whispering, “Oh.”

Gu Yusheng turned to her and asked gently, “What’s up?”

“Nothing. Maybe the situation was a bit chaotic at that time, so my hand slipped.” Qin Zhi’ai answered Gu Yusheng in a soft tone, then pulled at the edge of her costume’s skirt, and continued, “I have to remove my makeup and change clothes. Are you going to leave now, or—”

Before Qin Zhi’ai finished her words, Gu Yusheng pointed to his car, saying, “I’ll wait for you in the car.”

Qin Zhi’ai smiled gently and said, “Okay.”

…

Back in her dressing room, Qin Zhi’ai had a busy time and soon changed into Liang Doukou’s daily appearance.

Seeing that she had cleaned up, Zhou Jing took the lead to go to the dressing room’s door. When she reached out and pulled the door handle, Qin Zhi’ai, who hadn’t moved from in front of the mirror, suddenly said, “Zhou Jing.”

Zhou Jing stopped in the middle of opening the door and turned to look at her, not saying a word.

“Did the little a.s.sistant actually make a phone call in the bathroom and say what Lin Yi said?” Staring into Zhou Jing’s eyes, Qin Zhi’ai saw that she had covered up all her emotions. Then she continued, “Oh, no! She must have just pretended to call.”

In the past two years, Liang Doukou had developed very quickly, and Lin Yi had done no worse than her. One of her dramas had even surpa.s.sed the drama in which Liang Doukou had acted a leading role in the same period.

For Liang Doukou, Lin Yi was a huge compet.i.tor. If she was a little careless, her t.i.tle of “Number One Actress” in entertainment circles would be replaced by Lin Yi.

Those who could climb to such a position weren’t common. It would have been impossible for Lin Yi to have a public conflict with Liang Doukou without any evidence…

At that time, she felt that there had been something off. She didn’t figure it out until she had asked why Gu Yusheng was there. It seemed that Lin Yi fell into a trap set by Zhou Jing.

Thinking about this, Qin Zhi’ai said in a firmer tone, “And the phone call to Gu Yusheng was made by you, right?

“All the things that happened this afternoon were directed by you, from beginning to end. Am I right?

“You wanted to pave the way for Liang Doukou’s future career with Gu Yusheng’s help, right?”

Zhou Jing hadn’t expected that Qin Zhi’ai would see through her trick, so there was obvious amazement in her eyes. However, after all, she had been in these circles for so long that she quickly recovered and became calm as usual. Raising her eyebrows toward Qin Zhi’ai, she still remained silent.

Despite Zhou Jing quickly disguising her features, Qin Zhi’ai saw the amazement that flashed through her eyes. Her speculation, which she had been ninety percent sure of at beginning, now became complete truth.

As she had guessed, Zhou Jing regarded Gu Yusheng as a chess piece, a piece that both suppressed Lin Yi and announced Liang Doukou’s background.

In Qin Zhi’ai’s heart, there was suddenly annoyance that she couldn’t pin down. “Zhou Jing, you used Gu Yusheng for this. Don’t you think you went too far?”
