I completely fell out with the director.

He threatened to make it impossible for me to stay on set.

I knew why he came looking for trouble with me.

He must have received favors from Cheng Taoxi or Cheng Muyuan, and thought that I was just Jiang Du's mistress, so he came to suppress me.

That night, I called my dad.

Dad, who is also my adoptive father, Jiang Ling, exploded: "A small director dares to target my daughter?"

That night, there was a big news in the crew.

The biggest investor withdrew.

The director was immediately panicked.

I saw him desperately calling the investor, but the calls were all hung up.

He went to beg in person, but the other party refused to see him.

I knew what was going on.

That investor is a partner of our Jiang Corporation.

The director was in a desperate situation, and Cheng Taoxi was also anxious. After all, she had worked hard to get the leading role and was hoping for a rise in popularity.

When the crew was in a crisis, Jiang Du and I dealt them another blow.

We publicly announced our withdrawal from the crew.

At the same time, we spread the news that the investor withdrew because of the director's improper conduct and the poor acting skills of the lead actress.

The crew was thrown into chaos.

However, I knew that things would not end like this.

Sure enough, not long after, the Cheng Corporation announced their investment in the "Unwilling to Face" crew.

And all the video clips of Jiang Du, Cheng Taoxi, and I acting together disappeared online, probably bought at a high price.

That night, I received a phone call.

Cheng Muyuan was arrogant on the phone: "Jiang Qinwen, all these actions of yours, weren't they to make me notice you? Give up that idea, I won't acknowledge you. As you can see, the female lead role of Xiaoxi won't be shaken. Even with one less investor, our Cheng family can support it on our own. As for you using acting skills to suppress Xiaoxi, heh, how naive. Do you think the entertainment industry relies on acting skills to become popular?"

He arrogantly spoke, and the recording interface on my phone kept playing.

I said, "If acting skills are not useful, then what does it rely on? Please elaborate."

He sneered, "This industry relies on connections and resources. You being a talented actress is useless. Xiaoxi has the entire Cheng family's resources as a backing, crushing you will be as easy as crushing an ant."

"Oh," I asked him, "If acting skills are useless, why did you buy those videos at a high price and hide them?"

Cheng Muyuan hesitated for a moment, then became angry, "Of course they are useful. I can't just let you have evidence that can harm Xiaoxi and slander her in front of the public or make her lose fans."

If I hadn't been adopted by a poor and cruel family before, and had never experienced love since I was a child.

Now that my biological family has found me, but the true family members protect the fake daughter and constantly bully me and look down on me.

In that situation, hearing those words, I truly didn't know how sad and inferior I would feel.

For the ten thousandth time, I'm grateful that my adoptive parents took me in, loved me, and filled my heart with love, so I don't have to suffer from these injuries.

When Cheng Muyuan heard my silence, thinking his goal was achieved, he said again:

"Also, do you think you've climbed up with Jiang Du? Do you know who he is? His surname is Jiang, he is from the Jiang family in Lingnan. Even the Cheng family can't match up to such a family, let alone you?"

Wow, quite well-informed, even the Jiang family in Lingnan knows.

I said, "I also have the surname Jiang, why don't you guess that I'm also from the Jiang family?"

Cheng Muyuan was extremely disdainful, "Jiang Du became the male lead as soon as he debuted. If you were from the Jiang family, would you still be playing supporting roles?"

Tsk tsk, can't I have different life experiences and hone my acting skills?

Finally, he dropped this line, "You've conveniently withdrawn, this drama will definitely explode, and Xiaoxi will become a top-tier star. You just wait to be played by Jiang Du and then be kicked out, and then leave the entertainment industry in disgrace."

Before hanging up, I asked him:

"As sisters, why do you despise and fear me so much? You always have to suppress me to the extreme. What is your reason?"

He hung up the phone with a snap.
