A loud, scary shrill can be heard inside the luxurious white van while it was parked near the popular lake in S city. The assistants inside were all scared of what was happening.
Their master, Gong Yuming, was busy messaging someone on her mobile phone a while ago but her mood suddenly turned sour for some unknown reason.
She started throwing everything and shouting, cursing the wife of Xing Hongqi. There was an obvious killing intent in her aura. Her face became ugly from all the hatred and anger she's currently feeling. But after a few minutes of her demonic tantrums, she became quiet and her demeanor suddenly looked so weak. Eventually, she started crying from frustration. She's severely depressed because of her jealousy.
"Yuming-ah... what is wrong with you? You have photo shoot soon, it'll be in 20 minutes. We need to retouch your make-up as quickly as possible." Manager Yan was angry deep inside but she kindly coaxed her. She was afraid that this crazy and sobbing Gong Yuming would make everything hard for her today. She knew why this harlot is crying again and it just ticks her off more.
"Manager Yan... Hongqi's dotting on his wife too much. I can't accept this. That used to be me!" Gong Yuming hysterically cried again. She found out about the 1 billion yuan movie project and the 100 million payment for the lucky selected female celebrity.
She was not jealous of the reward, but she was jealous because Hongqi was putting effort in everything related to his wife!
"All the good things happening to Song Xiulan was because of Xing Hongqi! I should be in that position! Not her! She doesn't deserve him!" Gong Yuming won't stop reciting non-sense and scandalous accusations.
"Yuming! Stop! Can you stop already!?" Manager Yan had enough. This photo shoot is really important for them yet Yuming won't wake up from her delusions and she keeps embarrassing herself in front of her assistants. "Doesn't this crazy bitch know that today's photo shoot is important?" Manager Yan subconsciously remarked.
"Manager Yan... Please... let me have young master Hongqi. Please! I beg you!" Gong Yuming sobbed and pathetically pleaded to her manager like she was requesting an easy task.
Manager Yan really wanted to hit and beat up Gong Yuming so she can wake up from her not-so-healthy delusions. But Yan will do that later after the photo shoot.
"Yuming, you are asking for the impossible. I thought you already moved on? If young master Xing finds out about your unscrupulous tantrums, you will really make him mad." Manager Yan tried to threaten Yuming by using Hongqi's wrath.
Yuming flinched from hearing Manager Yan's threat. She doesn't want to see that disappointed look on his face ever again. That expression hunted her every night. It was the clear evidence that he ended everything with her. He may be still kind during that time, but any woman who loved him truly knows that he was pissed.
That smiling face he gave to her one last time... the smile that doesn't mean he was happy, rather he was pissed and annoyed. She knew it very well, and it scares her whenever he makes that face.
Hongqi never hurt a woman physically before but he's good in punishing them emotionally and mentally. He was a gentleman, crazy good at it. The fact that he was genuine in being a true gentleman was the most lovable thing about him. She loves this side of him so much.
He may always had that handsome disinterested face when he's all by himself and during business talks. He may smile time to time to flatter people, to make himself look friendly and approachable. He covers his dark and ill intentions with that business smile and it's always effective.
But that really bewitching smile can rarely be seen and encountered by his past lovers. Usually, he only generously smile at them when he thinks they deserve it or they did something great that made his mood a little happier.
For Gong Yuming, she likes everything about him, even his ugly and dark side. She self proclaimed that she's the only person who fully understands him and truthfully loved him, that's why she deserves to be Mrs. Xing.
But these days, he's always gives that smile to his wife. Yuming was dumbfounded. She can't read him anymore.
At first she thought Hongqi had ill intentions and was only using his wife. But as time passed, the smile on his face doesn't have that definition anymore. He was smiling because he was happy.
"He's happy." Gong Yuming weakly and sadly concluded. The tears in her eyes won't stop and they were gushing like the waterfalls. He was happy because of another woman, not because of her. She's really heartbroken.
"Ugh." Manager Yan grunted. Seeing Yuming's watery eyes will ruin the whole make-up! They must get Yuming back to her senses soon.
Yan thought the best way to get her senses back is to manipulate Yuming's fragile mind.
"Gong Yuming, if you really want to get Hongqi's favor again, you must become the woman he used to like." Manager Yan felt like her throat have broken glasses while she talks. As a manager, it is part of their duty to evilly manipulate their artists so they would follow but she was never like that.
But right now, Gong Yuming is making Manager Yan's life hell because of petty delusions.
Gong Yuming's teary eyes stared back at Manager Yan. "What do you mean?"
Manager Yan felt her heart constricts. She's about to say something that will make the future like a double edge sword. One, a future that will make Yuming reach her goal. Another is to destroy the harmony that the Xing couple have.
"Like I said, become the woman you were before. The woman that Xing Hongqi likes and dotted on before. Don't be weak and submissive like you are now. Be that woman that caught his attention." Manager Yan sounded like the devil and whispering these words to Yuming felt really bitter inside her mouth. She doesn't want to be a devil's advocate.
But truthfully, the Yuming before was also the best. She did everything to reach her goals. She was independent. She only became weak when she became Hongqi's woman. That man sure knows how to break a woman's worth.
Gong Yuming tried to replay in her head what happened during the time Hongqi was still not in her life.
She was strong and everyone envied her because of her beauty and perseverance to be on top. She may not be in the top of the industry yet that time and was only a measly B-list actress. But she has collected fans because of her own efforts and she was really proud of that.
She worked on many low budgeted dramas and there was even a time she agreed to model for an adult themed magazine.
Year by year, she made progressed in her career, garnered a lot of loyal fans... but for her it was still not enough. She has a lot of fans but her agency won't give her any good dramas and kept putting her in low budgeted projects. What's the use of thousands of fans if the agency won't give her any good deals?
Because of that, she became desperate. She may have done something that is considered "back door" to get gigs but she's only doing this to thrive in this animal kingdom called show business.
Then she met Xing Hongqi in a wine testing party. She's aware the power this man has. He can make any female artist popular in just a short span. Add that he's very handsome and hot!
She already heard the long list of lovers this man have and they are all living in limelight. She's jealous and wanted the same thing.
Yuming was tempted to do the same even though Manager Yan kept telling her not to. But this is a rare opportunity, she must do something before this golden goose gets taken away.
She let the temptation eat her and did her very best to approach him, get his attention and eventually became one of his bed warmers and he even signed her to his agency. She became a top A-list actress in just a short time. She was really thankful to him.
She thought it will remain forever that she's only going to use him for her career and of course financial security. But she wouldn't have ever thought that her greediness would reach another level. She wanted his love, all his attention.
She was fine with him meeting other women because she knew very well she was the most favored one. Out of all the bed warmers he ever had, she was the one who stayed longer.
But that bitch Song Xiulan suddenly came into the picture. She was not even his woman! She was just a pawn for Hongqi's selfish goals.
Yuming already concluded that Hongqi was only using the damn youngest Song for his goal to have a successful security agency. The youngest Song was the perfect target for that.
But she doesn't understand why Hongqi had to let go everything that they had shared together. He was just using that damn woman yet he has to leave her.
Yuming is still bitter by this fact. After getting kicked out in Hongqi's life, she started to wait for Hongqi to get bored in his marriage life. But she can't believe that almost a year had past and they were still together. They even had their second wedding and even a luxurious honeymoon.
The hatred and jealousy grew stronger in her heart.
She must do something before for those two have children. As long as Hongqi doesn't have any child with that woman yet, she'll do everything to get him back. Her conscience wouldn't allow her to destroy a family.
As long there's no child involved, they are not a family yet!
