Chapter 520

The sky cracked loud, and that Zha appeared in a flash!

As the most important person, naturally one must make the final entrance~

She had actually arrived nearby long ago, but just stayed hidden in the car.

It wasn't that she feared arriving too early and getting into fights—she simply felt she was Bai Liang's most, most, most important person: either arrive first, or arrive last.

Originally, she had planned to come early to keep Bai Liang company.

When the husband sings, the wife follows~

After all, they've been married twice already.

But no matter how hard and fast she rushed, Chen Yao and the others arrived first.

When Chen Yao and Meng Jie led Wang Churan onto the red carpet one after another, that Zha's car had already reached the venue.

But after one glance, she quickly told the driver to quietly drive away again, then circled outside in loops.

By the end, the car was nearly out of fuel.

As for how that Zha knew she was almost the last to arrive, it was mainly because Sister Yanzi, acting as a "spy," was reporting the situation inside to her.

And that Zha, having held out so long before stepping out of the car, showed not a trace of unhappiness.

"Hello everyone~"

"You've worked hard!"

"."

Her warmth and politeness left the media lining the red carpet stunned, scrambling to respond to her greetings.

Watching her radiant face and breezy, light-footed walk, they couldn't help but wonder: Is she in such a good mood today?

To be fair, among all the female artists present today, that Zha was the brightest and sunniest.

She seemed like a lark, oddly infectious, making people unconsciously want to smile along with her~

After she passed by, some reporters suddenly realized.

"I knew something felt off…"

"What felt off?"

"It feels like the boss's wife is hosting a company or restaurant opening."

A single remark woke the dreamers!

Yes, yes! That's exactly the feeling—That Zha's politeness made everyone feel she'd pull out red envelopes and hand them out any second.

But from a certain perspective, there's nothing wrong with that.

In a few months, that Zha will join Bai Liang's company; reportedly, she asked for no conditions at all—she's a top-tier superstar giving herself away for free. What else could it be but the boss's wife arriving?

Not just the media thought this—people inside Bai Liang's company thought the same.

Sister Yanzi had once blurted out that if she didn't know that Zha was genuinely a bit foolish, she'd suspect someone had given her high-level advice.

Nothing asked for? No conditions? Just throwing herself at him?

It seems like a huge loss.

But precisely because of this, she has everything.

Because the situation is so unreasonable, anyone with half a brain finds it suspicious.

Then they can't help but make more "reasonable" guesses.

After all, no one can really believe that that Zha is just a love-struck fool~

She must want something.

But if that Zha could think this deeply, she wouldn't be that Zha.

Still, today she thought quite a bit!

After her dazzling entrance, countless eyes locked onto her.

Many thought: Finally, she's here—Di Li Re Ba's eyes were already bloodshot; seeing her, wouldn't she go berserk?

Instantly, many "battles" paused.

Facing the attention of nearly the entire venue, that Zha smiled even brighter.

Then she waved cheerfully at everyone, greeting them~

Hello everyone~

"Did she take the wrong medicine today?"

"So strange—let's watch more."

"Di Li Re Ba is looking over!"

"."

Undoubtedly, amid the female stars' rivalries today, everyone also eagerly awaited what drama the two new couples might spark.

At the same time, many held resentment toward that Zha: Why did she arrive so late?

If she'd come earlier, Di Li Re Ba wouldn't have been red-eyed searching everywhere.

But just as everyone expected these two to collide like meteor and earth, an unexpected twist occurred!

Someone stepped forward first.

Wang Churan: "Meng Jie, how are you so bold?!"

Honestly, she'd never dare secretly call Meng Jie a cowardly lizard again.

Under so many eyes, Meng Jie actually dared to grab her and "cut in" between the two new brides' battle, stepping forward first.

Meng Jie: "Don't go—let's settle this now!"

That Zha blinked her big eyes at Meng Jie approaching, finding her tense yet determined posture—head held high, chest out, ready to fight to the death—quite spirited~

So that Zha smiled at her, "Hello~"

"Huh?"

"Meng Jie, you're so beautiful today!"

"No, thank you."

Though confused, Meng Jie still didn't forget her manners.

Someone complimented her on her beauty—she had to say thank you.

Na Zha tilted her head and greeted Wang Churan, making sure not to leave anyone out.

Wang Churan instantly felt flattered, nodding rapidly and quickly greeted her, calling out, "Sister Na Zha."

Even as Na Zha walked away smiling, Meng Jie remained stunned—this wasn't right. Had she really taken the wrong medicine? She'd always been so fierce before.

At this point, Wang Churan couldn't help gently nudging her with her elbow. "Meng Jie, this isn't at all what you described. Did she really bully you before?"

"Bullied me terribly."

Meng Jie sighed, dejected—she'd been defeated without a single strike, her three signature moves never even used.

"Then how come? Wow! What a ruthless tactic! She's eroding your fighting spirit!"

"Huh? Is that really it?"

"From the outcome, it's obvious, Meng Jie!"

Meng Jie didn't care much about that—she only knew she'd been crushed again, in a way she'd never experienced before.

A deep sense of loss swept over her.

Whether that same loss swept over most of the girls present, no one knew.

Right now, Na Zha truly looked like a joyful skylark.

She walked toward Di Li Re Ba, greeting everyone along the way.

Throughout, she beamed brightly, smiling at everyone.

Even today's main character, Chen Duling, she encouraged—clenching her tiny fist and saying, "You've got to do your best!"

Chen Duling: "Thank you so much~"

After Meng Jie, she too was stunned.

She didn't know what to say, and had no idea what Na Zha was really up to.

Because Na Zha's behavior was completely unlike what Chen Duling had recorded in her "Death Note." Faced with this extreme shift in intelligence, Chen Duling felt even more helpless than Meng Jie right now.

Oh no, this doesn't match up.

Oh right, Zhou Ye also received a wave of encouragement from Sister Na Zha, but she didn't feel as desolate as Chen Duling.

Mainly because she hadn't processed it yet.

She was too busy being nervous and embarrassed, and Zhao Jinmai beside her was the same.

After all, they were still young—when a beautiful sister treated them so gently, it was hard to immediately conjure up any strange thoughts.

Meanwhile, Da Tian Tian had already drawn a sharp breath—she'd clashed with Na Zha before and understood her better than most.

Oh no, how has Na Zha's level evolved to this point?

They say the dogs that bite don't bark—but she skipped even that stage and became a "smiling tiger" outright?

And her acting had improved so dramatically, it was absurd.

Because there was absolutely no trace of performance—unbelievably natural.

Hmm. Mainly because Na Zha wasn't acting at all.

She hadn't suddenly changed her nature or anything—she just cared about different things, in different ways.

Her thinking was simple: today was Bai Liang's movie premiere, and everyone here was here to support him.

So as the "hostess," it was only natural to be courteous and friendly to the guests.

And this courtesy and friendliness came from the heart.

Because if the movie did well and Bai Liang made money—wasn't that also her money?

More precisely:

Our money!

What's this called? This is called "spousal" joint property.

Thinking of this, Na Zha couldn't help humming happily to herself.

And now, she was finally about to face her old rival—the greatest enemy of the past few years.

To be fair, the two Xinjiang girls knew each other far too well.

While others were still baffled by Na Zha's behavior today, Re Ba had already guessed her train of thought before even speaking to her.

Damn it, she almost laughed out of anger.

Gu Li Na Zha, you shameless thing—do you really think you're the hostess now? Awarding yourself the victory, thinking you've already won?

This kind of spiritual victory is more A-Q than A-Q! You don't even treat anyone else as real. Na Zha: "Huh? Of course I am—I've married him twice already~"

Just thinking of it made her lips curl upward.

Big Mi Mi, who had been holding Re Ba's wrist all along, saw it all clearly.

Re Ba's expression kept shifting—within half a minute, her lips slowly curved upward, breaking into a smile.

This scene was like seeing a ghost!

Big Mi Mi jumped as if shocked, immediately letting go of her hand.

But sisterly affection kept her from retreating—she'd never use Da Tian Tian's "little weakling" tricks.

Though she let go, she stepped closer. "Re Ba, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Mi Jie. Want some liuliu plums?" Re Ba teased, tilting her head.

Big Mi Mi:

You damn brat! Today you've really gotten audacious beyond belief!

Still, the fact that she can still make such a light joke suggests her mind hasn't completely overloaded from rage.

And how to put it? Compared to just now, when she was red-eyed and slashing wildly, she now seems even more formidable.

She's becoming harder to read.

Indeed, this is truly a match of equals, a clash of masters.

Just from how quickly Reba calmed down, she still has plenty left to fight with Na Zha.

If she kept raging like that, she'd fall far behind and might get eliminated at any moment.

Big Mi Mi's mind raced, and she secretly gave Reba a thumbs-up.

Nice job~

Reba smiled at Big Mi Mi, then stepped forward to meet Na Zha.

Here it comes! It's starting!

A crowd of people stared wide-eyed, not wanting to miss a single detail.

"Place your bets!"

Wang Yanlin's low shout awakened his friends' competitive drive.

"What are we betting on?"

"When will Da Xian come to clean up the mess!"

"Within five minutes—after all, she's still a celebrity, won't go too far."

"One minute! Those two smiling at each other gives me the creeps—I feel like they might actually fight today!"

"Ten minutes—I think they're smiling quite gently, even pretty."

"You're actually admiring them now? Watch out—Da Xian might come over and grab you first~"

"Wait, how did Da Xian even train like this? I feel like both of them now have a bit of Da Xian's vibe—this bastard loves to smile like this."

"Dangerous comment! Everyone, watch your mouth—don't let Da Xian sneak over and hear that this guy likes doing this."

"."

The guys chattered on, but their eyes never left the two new Jiang girls.

When the two finally faced each other, their distance reduced to barely half a meter, many instinctively held their breath.

Is it starting?

But then they saw the two Jiang girls smile at each other, and two seconds later, they took hands.

What the hell! Over already?

Everyone could hardly believe their eyes—what the hell were these two doing!?

"Reba, you look so beautiful today—I feel like your figure is even better than before?"

"Nonsense, your skin's been better lately—it's almost glowing white~"

"Oh come on, I was always pale—today I just dressed up a bit, since the occasion matters."

"My butt was always round~"

After barely two sentences, the two suddenly realized—wait, something's off—weren't they about to start fighting again?

Cough, cough—habit.

They've always launched straight into battle the moment they meet—today they've at least had two sentences of buffer.

But one of them had already placed herself in the position of the victor, constantly telling herself, "Be magnanimous~"

While the other knew full well her opponent was a hopelessly love-struck fool—this wasn't the first time the other had had an episode.

Yes, to Reba, Na Zha was having an "episode."

What nonsense—you won? In your dreams?

She swiftly adjusted her strategy, her gentle tone now laced with subtle barbs—she wanted to see just how long Gu Li Na Zha could keep up the act.

Fine—I'll play along!

"Hey, honey, these two girls both seem quite composed~"

"Indeed, I heard they had some conflict, yet today at our son's premiere they still held back—clearly well-mannered girls."

"More than just conflict—you don't understand if you don't hang around the fan circle!" Bai's mom said with a touch of pride.

Bai's dad didn't know what to say—was hanging around the fan circle really something to be proud of?

But since his son was now a celebrity, never mind.

At this moment, Li Xin's heart was filled with despair!

Just now, when she and Song Qian were at the height of their verbal clash, she turned her head—and locked eyes with Bai's mom.

In that instant, she felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her.

Oh no!

What the hell was I doing? When she wasn't here, I pretended to be refined—but now that she's here, I didn't even notice, and I was having such a blast tearing into her.

And Bai's mom's intel was wrong! She didn't come alone—her husband came too.

Oh no, oh no—I'm going to lose big points.

The key point was, originally today was supposed to be a full-scale brawl—everyone would lose points, so it'd be like no one lost points, just even footing.

But these two Jiang girls had somehow eaten the wrong herb—after years of mutual hostility, never giving each other a good look, they suddenly became harmonious today, as if they'd received advance notice.

Song Qian naturally noticed Li Xin's odd state—why had she suddenly become so emo? Just moments ago she was so fierce.

To be honest, this made Song Qian feel a bit embarrassed.

Did my fierce performance today just make Li Xin shut down?

Though they've recently competed and traded smear articles against each other, it never went so far as to truly want to destroy each other offline.

So Song Qian couldn't help saying, "Are you okay? It was my fault just now."

At these words, Li Xin's face grew even more pained.

What? Even you're like this?

But everyone else said it that way—if she retorted, she'd seem terribly uncouth.

After all, their feud had more or less ended; now was the time for harmony.

She could only force a smile worse than crying, "It's not your fault—I just suddenly remembered something sad."

"Huh? What sad thing?"

"My mother-in-law probably doesn't like me anymore."

What the hell?!

Song Qian wondered if this woman had secretly eaten mushrooms and was hallucinating.

And mother-in-law? Miss, you're not even married yet! Where did you get a mother-in-law?

Li Xin: You haven't met your in-laws, you wouldn't understand.

To be fair, Song Qian's observational skills were still sharp!

She quickly noticed Li Xin subtly tilting her head, constantly glancing at one direction out of the corner of her eye.

Upon closer observation~ there sat a very low-key middle-aged couple.

The woman among them—though wearing a mask—felt strangely familiar, as if she'd seen her somewhere before.

And just then, a furtive figure entered Song Qian's line of sight.

It was Li Yitong.

This evil little kitten was the second person on-site to notice Bai Liang's parents had arrived.

She immediately deployed her "racial specialty."

Kitten footsteps make no sound.

So she didn't even bring Dou Xiao Tian—Big Tian Tian wasn't too fond of fighting with her over Xiao Tian anyway~ so she'd just "board" her with her for now.

As for the evil little kitten herself… time to break in!

Soon, Li Yitong had already sneaked up beside Bai Liang's parents, flashing her signature crescent eyes, "Uncle, Auntie…"

"Ah~ Tongtong, keep your voice down."

"Don't worry, don't worry—I'll be quiet for sure."

Li Yitong was as good as her word—she didn't even sit down; she squatted right there talking to Bai's mother, determined not to let anyone else spot her.

But just as she was quietly observing, their eyes met with Li Xin's.

The sneaky sister duo—telepathic!

Then Li Yitong immediately stuck out her tongue at Li Xin, nearly making Li Xin storm over.

But she held back.

After all, Bai Liang's parents were still keeping a low profile—if she made a scene and drew everyone's attention, wouldn't she lose major points?

She could only clench her fists and watch Li Yitong act all brazen.

That evil little kitten seemed to be wagging her tail out of thin air.

Damn it!
