Looking at Xia Wei Liang, she didn't seem surprised to see her, her gaze towards her filled with indifference and mockery.
"Xia Wei Liang, you—"
Before Xia Yi Ran could finish speaking, she saw Xiao Yi behind her, and her face instantly turned pale.
"Yi, Brother Yi..."
Zhang Peng quickly stepped forward, "Wow! Brother Yi! How come you're here?"
He plastered on a smile, lowering himself as much as possible. "Brother Yi, I've been wanting to contact you, but you're always so busy, and I could never reach you. Now that we've bumped into you here, do you happen to have some free time? Perhaps we could... chat for a bit?"
Zhang Peng was considered an elder in the industry, knowing how to speak to different people. He rarely offended anyone, so he generally had good relationships.
Xiao Yi had met him before, and they weren't on bad terms. Moreover, he did have some things to say to the other man.
So, he glanced at Xia Wei Liang as if asking for her opinion. She nodded, signaling that she understood.
However, to outsiders, it meant something else entirely. In their eyes, it was clear that he had to consult a woman even for such a trivial matter! It was unbelievable that the esteemed Film Emperor would be so obedient to Xia Wei Liang!
Before Xiao Yi left, he cast a glance at Xia Yi Ran, a subtle warning in his eyes that sent a shiver down her spine.
As much as Xia Yi Ran hated her, she also feared Xiao Yi.
In the face of absolute power, her existence was like that of an ant, easily crushed.
Especially now that her reputation was in tatters, and her parents had dragged her to the brink of the entertainment industry.
If it weren't for the hotel incident diverting much of the attention, she would have found it difficult to even go out!
Xiao Yi and Zhang Peng left. Xia Wei Liang suddenly spoke, "You must have a lot to say too."
Xia Yi Ran's hateful gaze said it all.
She didn't just have things to say; she wished Xia Wei Liang dead!
Xia Wei Liang smiled, "Xia Yi Ran, you actually don't understand me well. I love it most when people hate me but can never get rid of me. So, you now truly, truly make me happy. I'm so happy!"
Xia Yi Ran gritted her teeth, making a creaking sound. "Xia Wei Liang, don't get smug! Do you think this is all I have? Heh, if I release everything, then you..."
Xia Wei Liang suddenly strode forward two steps, grabbed her by the neck, and yanked her forward, slamming her against the wall!
"Then what? Huh?" she asked with a smile, but her eyes were devoid of any mirth, her entire being exuding a deadly aura.
Xia Yi Ran hadn't expected her to resort to violence. She hit the wall heavily, the pain almost bringing tears to her eyes. "Xia Wei Liang, this is Hua Tian Entertainment... Do you, do you dare to attack me here?"
Xia Wei Liang let out two cold laughs. "Don't talk about here being Hua Tian, even on the street, I'd dare!"
As she spoke, she tightened her grip, firmly choking her. Xia Yi Ran found it difficult to breathe and desperately reached forward with her hands, kicking out at her.
"If you dare touch me, I'll never let you go—"
Xia Wei Liang narrowed her eyes and suddenly kicked her hard in the hollow of her knee.
"Ah!"
She screamed, her features contorting in pain, cold sweat breaking out.
"Xia Wei Liang, you—"
"Heh, want to curse me?"
Xia Wei Liang raised her hand and slapped her!
"Ah!"
Xia Yi Ran was now thoroughly enraged, kicking and scratching like a madwoman. "You dare to hit me, I'll fight you to the death!"
This kind of shameless, shrew-like fighting style was no match for Xia Wei Liang at this stage!
She recalled that years ago, when Nuo Mi was bitten by a snake, she had been learning self-defense from Song Yuan, not to uphold justice, but to protect those around her!
Who was Brother Yuan?
He was a rising star in the martial arts world, a new talent in their circles, a real powerhouse!
If she didn't know other moves, she knew how to beat people up!
To receive her true teachings, one had to fight with style and flair. Su Dan Novel Network.
Thus, Xia Wei Liang unleashed a little of her skill, and Xia Yi Ran was pinned against the wall by her, left to cry and wail.
"You bully people because the Film Emperor spoils you! Xia Wei Liang, is that all you're capable of? If you have the guts, let me go, and I'll fight you!"
"Fight what? Fight with a knife or a hammer? Heh, you're actually right, I am relying on Xiao Yi spoiling me. So what? I like it, he's willing, do you have a problem with that?"
The man not far away raised an eyebrow, his expression gradually becoming more intriguing.
He stopped walking and leaned against the side, watching them.
"So you finally admit you framed me, right? I'm going to hold a press conference, and I'll expose your actions! You're the one who ruined me like this!"
Xia Yi Ran's voice was loud, and a crowd had already gathered around, pointing and gossiping. At the same time, phones were already being held up...
Yet, not a single person came to help!
It wasn't that everyone was too cold-blooded, but rather they all wanted to see Xia Yi Ran make a fool of herself.
Xia Wei Liang tightened her grip and pressed her against the wall twice more, as if wanting to embed her into it!
"Can't take it already? Heh, then when you were splashing dirty water on me, did I say anything?"
"I didn't!"
"Whether you did or not, you know in your heart!"
Xia Wei Liang impatiently pushed her away and slowly retreated to the side, watching Xia Yi Ran struggle to stand up. "Xia Wei Liang, you're finished! You're finished! You deliberately attacked me just now, you caused me bodily harm, I'm going to sue you, I'll get a medical examination! In short, if I'm not okay, you won't be either!!"
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she shouted it out almost hysterically.
Xia Wei Liang was not afraid of her at all. She spread her hands, inviting her to bring it on. "Then let's settle this. What's the deal with you letting your mother commit suicide on the show?"
"You..."
Xia Yi Ran's gaze immediately shifted. "Don't try to slander me! I didn't, and my mom is fine!"
"That's because she changed her mind at the last minute!" Xia Wei Liang stared at her, and seeing the disdain in her eyes, she suddenly chuckled. "Do you think she didn't do it because she was afraid of death?"
Xia Yi Ran had always been bothered by this matter, and her retort was impatient, "Isn't that the case?"
"Heh, she was afraid you'd be charged with incitement! Once something happened to her, your charges would be set in stone! So, she couldn't have an accident, and she wouldn't let you have one!"
"No, that's not right, none of this is right!"
Xia Yi Ran shook her head, unwilling to believe it!
These were all one-sided words. The actual situation was that Bao Fang was greedy for life and afraid of death! As a result, she had ruined her only daughter.
"Whether you believe it or not is your business. I just don't want to see someone like your mother pushed into a fire pit by a daughter like you!"
"She's my mother! Do you need to pretend to be concerned like this?" Xia Yi Ran was furious and reached out to push her—
