She looked at him with red-rimmed eyes. “After you asked me to give you my Weibo account details, you went to ‘like’ the dissers and do influence-binding on those marketing accounts. Then you went to comfort those people and step on me to befriend them, didn’t you? Using such means to get others to build a good reputation for you, is that it?”

Stunned, Ge Fei hadn’t expected the usually ignorant Bai Yun to point out his actions. But so what?

No one would discover the conversation that had taken place in this dark alley. Hence, Ge Fei admitted it especially readily, as if he wanted to vent all the evil in his heart.

“So what if I did? With your reputation, who in the entertainment industry dares to believe you now? Look, the He Xi you offended two days ago just praised me for my acting skills and personality, and for being different from others in the industry.”

He admitted it again. Bai Yun lowered her eyes in disdain, but she shed tears in front of him and spoke agitatedly, “Ge Fei, how can you treat me like this when I treat you as my only good friend? If not for what happened yesterday, I wouldn’t have been able to see your true colors even till now.”

When she looked up, her face was calm, but tears were still falling. Voice quivering, she calmly pushed all the past mistakes onto him. “You were the one who instigated me to do influence-binding1. It was also you who tricked me into going to the clubhouse to drink. You even tried to make it seem as though I was latching on to Yuan Cong, President Yuan and Chu Jiang. You will do whatever it takes to become famous, huh.”

Seemingly having vented enough, Bai Yun’s eyes were filled with tears as her voice calmed down. “Now that things have come to this, I can only blame myself for being a poor judge of character. Let’s part ways here. From now on, let’s steer clear of each other’s lives.”

At this moment, Ge Fei finally realized that something was wrong. Bai Yun usually spoke very little, was timid, and had a gentle voice. However, right now, although she was crying, she was very eloquent and her eyes were filled with disdain.

He felt stabbed by that look. In that moment, he felt as if he had been transported back to the days when he had been looked down upon.

He’d worked so hard for so many years to get rid of such gazes, but why? How could this woman look at him like that, as if she was born superior and he was born to live in a smelly ditch? Anger burned his sanity. He even stopped arguing about Yuan Cong and Chu Jiang.

He raised his palm and slapped Bai Yun.

Bai Yun did not dodge. The slap was very solid, making her ears buzz and causing her to fall to the ground.

Ge Fei had thought that this slap would instill fear in Bai Yun and that she would beg him for mercy. However, Bai Yun only touched her cheek with her fingers. Then, she looked up, her face hidden in her long hair and shadows avoiding the surveillance cameras and camera. With a nonchalant smile, she mouthed silently, “Trash!”

The gentle and approachable persona that Ge Fei usually displayed on the screen was finally destroyed by this mouthing. His face became hateful, and his veins bulged. The darkness magnified the anger he had accumulated with Director Yuan earlier.

“What right do you have to look at me like that?” He squatted down and looked down at Bai Yun.

Bai Yun was still smiling in the dim light, while Ge Fei’s face was flushed from agitation.

He grabbed Bai Yun’s neck with a ferocious expression. “A slut like you should be f*cked by a thousand people. Do you think you’re so great?”

“Don’t you want to be famous? I’m doing this to help you, aren’t I? You should be thanking me. How could you have gotten such an opportunity without me? Let me tell you, as long as I’m around, you can forget about making a comeback in the entertainment industry, ever.” His grip tightened. Bai Yun’s face slowly turned red, but she only placed her hand on his palm without even struggling.

Bai Yun’s appearance of a lamb waiting to be slaughtered made Ge Fei completely lose his mind. He raised his hand and was about to tear Bai Yun’s clothes. “Since things have come to this, make yourself useful one last time and let me have a good time.”

When Ge Fei touched her collar, Bai Yun’s lips finally curled into a cold smile. She no longer hid in the dark corner and laughed extremely wantonly. “Ge Fei, you’re too pathetic. Some slight provocation and you lost your cool.”

Bai Yun’s attitude made Ge Fei’s mind go blank. He could not tolerate this woman’s disrespect. Anyone else could say that to him, but not her.

Furious, Ge Fei casually grabbed the stone on the ground, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted, “Die, Bai Yun!”

He raised the stone and was about to strike Bai Yun’s head. Bai Yun did not dodge, as if she was not at all afraid.

In the next moment, there was a clang and the mellow smell of alcohol exploded in the air. Du Qing stood behind Ge Fei, still holding up the shattered bottle.
