Entertaining

"Sister Yue…" Li Weiwei's eyes shone, she maintained a calm expression. "Of course, you can trust me on this."

"I understand." Li Yue said. She hesitated for a few seconds as her gaze darted towards Li Weiwei then into the garden, as if scared that someone else would hear them. "I no longer have concrete proof of this as they took it away from my room. But… I think your grandmother, the matriarch, was stealing some funds from the company to give it to her illegitimate son's family which is using the last name Yu. I don't have the exact address but it should be located in the next town. I overheard her talking to your aunt about this matter."

Li Weiwei let out a loud gasp. 

"They… they pushed me in the stairs because of this!" Li Yue said. "The reason why I am telling you this is because I am really anxious that they will hurt you. You will marry into the Xia Family soon. I don't think the matriarch would allow that to happen. I mean… You are the heiress of the Li Family. Once you get married, Xia Jin will work under the company and will help our father. He is extremely good and his eyes are great for small details. I'm afraid that—"

"I understand." Li Weiwei nodded. "Don't worry… I will take care of everything."

"Thank you Weiwei… just please don't act without any concrete proof."

"Thank you Sister Yue. Thank you for trusting me. I will treasure this trust and this favor that you have done for me today."

Li Yue only smiled in response. She maintained her anxious appearance before Li Weiwei told her to switch the topic and start talking about happy thoughts instead of the ones that would make her anxious. Of course, the topic immediately turned towards the upcoming wedding.

"Strawberry cake?" Li Yue asked. "You want a five tiered cake with only one flavor? What about your guests who don't like strawberry flavoured cake?"

"Jin told me to do whatever I want. This is my day after all."

"Actually, that makes sense." Li Yue nodded. Right now, she couldn't help but applaud Li Weiwei's thoughts. This woman was deserving of becoming the illustrious female lead. It didn't take too long for them to talk about the wedding dress and the venue as well.

Of course, Li Yue sincerely commented about the decorations and the dress. She was here to gather some information from the bride and to make sure that this wedding would happen safely and successfully. After a few more minutes, Li Yue finally decided to leave the house and go to Mo Li's office to start on her new project. 

Her mission here was done. Now, all she needed to do was wait for Lizzy Lu and Lu Xinyi's next move. 

…..

And just like that, two days passed. The masquerade ball was only a few days away. The excitement from the people who earned the right to be there vibrated all through the city. However, a shocking piece of news soon broke this excitement.

The news was about Li Weiwei using her body to obtain her roles in the industry had been released by an anonymous person! It was a detailed list of Li Weiwei's previous projects that highlighted her lack of talent in acting. The final conclusion of the article pointed towards the fact that Li Weiwei was using her body to obtain roles and even shamelessly seduced Xia Jin who was already engaged to Li Yue when they were in high school!

Why would the person who made the news include Li Yue's name? Of course, it was because the person wanted to make Li Weiwei's fans rage against Li Yue. Wasn't that a very cruel scheme? Too bad, it was already something that she anticipated. Before people could search about Li Yue and her involvement with Li Weiwei and Xia Jin, an image of Li Yue and Li Weiwei laughing together was released online!

Of course, that was the picture taken from the other day when Li Yue had visited the Li Family.

After the initial surprise of the people who were watching the drama, Li Yue immediately released a statement that she specifically came back to the city to attend her good friend's Li Weiwei and Xia Jin's wedding— the only people who cared for her when she disappeared a few years back.

The story was too convincing that instead of hating Li Yue, many people started trash talking the person who released the news instead. Why would they involve Li Weiwei's good friend in all this? And why would they try and attack Li Weiwei who was busy with her wedding preparations?

The fans immediately started defending Li Weiwei and Xia Jin and immediately called out the shamelessness of the people who were scheming behind their backs. The news exploded and now, the attention of the media was focused on Li Weiwei's and Xia Jin's wedding.

That was until someone brought up the fact that Li Weiwei was about to start shooting a film just after the wedding. Slowly, people started talking about the film until someone said that having a huge scandal would actually affect Li Weiwei as the producer was known to hate people with scandals.

Soon after people started guessing. Once Li Weiwei was fired because of that news… who would replace her? Wasn't it Li Weiwei's rival? The actress Lu Xinyi from the Lu Family?

With the power of Li Weiwei's fans, unbelievable assumptions were posted online. One of which was the fact that Lu Xinyi schemed against Li Weiwei to try and get the role. Then the netizens started researching more and more about Lu Xinyi. Coincidentally, someone posted another news article about Lu Xinyi's rivals getting sick or getting injured during taping, making Lu Xinyi replace them. 

Wasn't that a big indication that this woman loves to scheme to get roles? She would even hurt people just to make them stop acting. How cruel… oh… how cruel indeed.

"Entertaining." Mo Li said as he gave Li Yue a meaningful gaze. The two were currently watching the news on the TV in Li Yue's hotel room— something that Mo Li had been doing everyday now. "It is very entertaining." He added.
