Chapter 241: Xu Tian

Wang Manshan's lips curled downward slightly as she sneered inwardly.

As the arch-rival of her company, how could Yan Hongyu possibly think her award was well-deserved?

She had won the award, yet he still had to make those snide, passive-aggressive remarks; he was truly petty.

She didn't reach out to shake his hand, but instead feigned confusion and spoke:

"President Yan is joking. I recall that the artists under your management all felt I wasn't qualified to win this Best Female Singer award."

Everyone knew exactly who she was referring to.

Huang Mengyao's face darkened as she retorted indignantly: "Wang Manshan, don't get cocky! If someone with your level of talent can win an award, the Huaxia music scene is truly hopeless!"

"Do you think the audience will buy it? You're a fraud, just wait until you're cursed into oblivion!"

Wang Manshan sneered upon hearing this and retorted without hesitation: "Heh, it's not necessarily me who will be cursed into oblivion. My little handsome guy here said you're having a run of bad luck—maybe that person is you!"

As she spoke, Wang Manshan turned to look at Xu Tian, even reaching out to affectionately hook her arm through his.

"Little handsome guy, don't you think she's having a run of bad luck?"

Xu Tian calmly pulled his arm away, and fearing Wang Manshan might be displeased, he nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

Huang Mengyao's expression grew even uglier at this.

"Wang Manshan, stop dreaming! Do you think I'd be scared just because the pretty boy you're keeping threatened me a few times? How naively ridiculous!"

"All that talk about dark clouds on my forehead and bad luck is pure bullshit!"

Having lost the Best Female Singer award, Huang Mengyao was nearly hysterical, ignoring her image to argue with Wang Manshan in front of everyone.

"Only a brainless slut with big tits like you would believe in metaphysics!"

"I refuse to believe that just because some charlatan spouts a few words, I'll actually have bad luck!"

Huang Mengyao was full of confidence; so what if she didn't get the Golden Melody Queen award?

She was still a powerhouse female singer recognized by the public!

At the same time, because Wang Manshan won, those who disliked her would only sympathize with her more, feeling that Wang Manshan had stolen her glory.

What's more, she is the number one star at Giant Star Media, and with the Yan family as her backing to protect her, it would be hard for her to have bad luck even if she wanted to.

Just then, Xu Miaoyin, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, slowly stood up and cast an unkind glance at Xu Tian.

"The artists under my management don't need Ms. Wang and this nobody to worry about them. You'd better mind your own business."

Xu Tian looked at Xu Miaoyin's arrogant and conceited face, a self-deprecating arc forming at the corners of his lips.

He should have known long ago that this woman wasn't as innocent as she pretended to be; given the chance, she would climb to the top by any means necessary, and to reach her goals, she would betray family, love, and friendship alike.

Yet in his past life, he had foolishly thought she was a weak, pitiful creature in need of protection—it was stupid to the extreme!

Thinking of this, Xu Tian chuckled and spoke:

"President Xu, there's no need to worry. I'm just a charlatan; bad luck and disasters aren't things I can avoid just by worrying."

"Besides, there are so many stars at Giant Star Media; I imagine one more or one less isn't a big deal."

Xu Miaoyin frowned in displeasure.

The tone of this person's speech was actually somewhat similar to Xu Tian's.

Thinking of the humiliation Xu Tian had inflicted on her before, she became even more annoyed and was just about to snap back when the notification sound of the phone in her handbag rang out.

Xu Miaoyin took her phone out of her bag, and her expression changed drastically after seeing the content of the message.

Her eyes, which had been somewhat indifferent, suddenly flashed with a cold glint, piercing Huang Mengyao's face like a sharp sword.

Huang Mengyao was flustered by this gaze and asked nervously: "President Xu, what's wrong?"

Yan Hongyu also noticed Xu Miaoyin's abnormality and asked with concern: "Miaoyin, what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

Xu Miaoyin stared at Huang Mengyao and sneered: "You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?"

Huang Mengyao felt even more guilty upon hearing this; although she didn't know what Xu Miaoyin had seen, her intuition told her it definitely wasn't anything good.

Could it be that something of hers had been exposed?

Impossible! She had always been very careful, taking extra detours every time she went out to hotels to avoid being photographed by paparazzi...

Immediately after, Xu Miaoyin shoved the phone into Huang Mengyao's face and said coldly.

"See for yourself!"

The phone slammed into the nose Huang Mengyao had spent hundreds of thousands to perfect, but she didn't dare make a sound, enduring the pain as she rubbed her nose and took the phone with trepidation.

When she saw the content on the phone, the blood drained from her face instantly.

Someone had taken photos of her going to hotels with different men, some of whom were married or had girlfriends!

However, this wasn't the most fatal thing for her; someone had also exposed the fact that she had committed a hit-and-run while drunk three years ago and had her assistant take the fall.

Moreover, that person had produced pictures from the scene of the accident and recordings of her conversations with the assistant as evidence.

If it were just about her private life, she might still have a chance to clear her name, but involving a hit-and-run meant she would never be able to recover in this lifetime.

Huang Mengyao's brain went "buzz," and she ignored her image, kneeling before Xu Miaoyin to beg:

"President Xu, please help me suppress this news, please help me, I beg you!"

However, just as she spoke, everyone present also received a Weibo notification.

"Oh my god! Huang Mengyao is actually hooking up with married men, and she's two-timing!"

"These photos were all taken in the same week; she actually slept with seven men in one week!"

"Did you see the gossip about the hit-and-run? She actually pushed her assistant out to take the blame; she's truly snake-hearted!"

"Isn't Huang Mengyao known as a pure jade maiden? She changes boyfriends faster than she changes clothes?"

"What jade maiden? I think she's a nymphomaniac, right?"

"I don't care about her private life, I just want to know how many years she can be sentenced for a hit-and-run!"

Wang Manshan and Shang Yiran also hurriedly took out their phones upon hearing the discussions around them.

They were also shocked when they saw the dirt on Huang Mengyao.

This news was simply too explosive!

Only Xu Tian stood calmly in place, his expression unchanged.

In his past life, Huang Mengyao's scandal was also exposed shortly after the awards ceremony.

This was also the reason he had told her earlier that she was having a run of bad luck.

Breaking up families, promiscuity, hit-and-run.

Any one of these stains was enough to ensure she would never recover in this lifetime.

On the other side, Huang Mengyao still held a glimmer of hope, wishing the company could help her suppress this news.

But whether it was Xu Miaoyin or Yan Hongyu, when they looked at Huang Mengyao, it was as if they were looking at a piece of waste that had lost its utility. ===== CHAPTER 242 =====
