☆, (11 Fresh Coins) Chapter 121: Dare to Bet?

Looking at He Lele, who had fallen to the ground, Xiao Sha looked triumphantly in the direction of Qin Zhixiu and Ruan Lin, but saw both men stand up at the same time and walk toward her.

He Lele propped herself up and stood up, looking at the sleeve of her new clothes that had been snagged and frayed after only a few hours of wear. Because her arm had been scraped, a few spots of blood were visible on the sleeve.

"I... what exactly do I have that is worth you being so envious, jealous, and hateful?" He Lele said in a low voice, her eyes still fixed on the broken sleeve.

"Ha... I envy you? Jealous of you? You think too highly of yourself. What? You can't even walk properly and you blame others—"

"Shut up," He Lele said in a low voice, staring at Xiao Sha without fear. "I'm not a person in this circle. Your power and status have no deterrent effect on me. I don't rely on you for a living, and you don't need to act with me."

He Lele's sudden outburst made Ruan Lin and Qin Zhixiu stop in their tracks. Ruan Lin looked at her with some surprise and joy, while Qin Zhixiu curved his lips into a smile that was intoxicating.

The entire crew saw Ruan Lin's little assistant openly talking back to Xiao Sha, and they were all dumbfounded and expectant.

"You, you..." Xiao Sha didn't expect He Lele to dare to talk back to her, and hatred and anger burst out from her beautiful eyes. "Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you're not in this circle?"

"Then why do you want to 'do something' to me? You're prettier than me, richer than me, and more famous than me. I've never offended you. Why are you targeting me?"

"I..." Xiao Sha looked uncomfortably at Ruan Lin and Qin Zhixiu. Seeing that the two men didn't even look at her and were just smiling at He Lele, all her pride turned into anger. She glared at He Lele, "I just don't like the look of you, so what?"

"... You don't like the look of me, so you ordered your assistant to hit me? You don't like the look of me, so you tripped me on purpose? You don't like the look of me, so you're planning to continue making things difficult for me? Then what if someone else doesn't like the look of you? Can they hit you and bully you too!"

"Don't like the look of me? Ha..." Xiao Sha glanced at He Lele with contempt, as if she were a lunatic. "Do you think I'm a country girl like you who just came from the countryside? I'm the youngest contemporary Best Actress. Do you know how many fans I have? Do you know how many fan clubs I have around the world? Don't like the look of me? Unless someone is blind!"

"... Then do you dare to shout it out?"

"Shout what?"

"Those who like the look of you, please raise your hand."

"..." Xiao Sha scoffed. "Do you think I would do such a boring thing?"

"Of course you wouldn't, because you don't dare! Do you want to make a bet? If even half a person in the entire crew likes you, I'll kneel down and apologize to you immediately!"

As soon as He Lele said this, the crowd was in an uproar. Ruan Lin couldn't help but frown. Although the crew members had been tortured enough by Xiao Sha, but—

"Ha! Good! Good!" Xiao Sha laughed out of extreme anger. "You said it yourself!"

Xiao Sha took two steps back and looked around at everyone arrogantly and confidently. "Excuse me, sorry—"

"Wait."

"Regret it?" Xiao Sha's eyes were full of sarcasm.

"What if you lose?"

"I'll lose? If I lose, I'll lick your shoes!"

"That's not necessary," He Lele said, as if she had the victory in her grasp. "If you lose, I only hope you show the acting skills of a Best Actress and the professional ethics that an actor should have, work hard, and don't intentionally cause trouble for everyone anymore!"

For her, she liked seeing the people around her happy every day, but in this crew, you couldn't see many people smiling all day long!

Xiao Sha's beautiful and exquisite face turned pale and red. She gritted her teeth hatefully. She also knew that she had been a bit excessive these past two days, but she was in a bad mood! Of course, she would lose her temper! Did everyone else not have to coax her just because she was in a bad mood?

Staring at He Lele, Xiao Sha sneered, "Fine! Deal!"

Walking to the middle of the room, Xiao Sha clapped her hands and smiled sweetly. Her ability to change her face was truly at the Best Actress level, making He Lele feel she couldn't keep up.

"Everyone has worked hard these past few days! I'm hosting tonight to reward everyone."

Everyone looked at each other, dodging Xiao Sha's gaze.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Xiao Sha's smile couldn't quite hold, but she still tried to smile pleasantly, as if joking. "A little sister said that everyone doesn't like Xiao Sha, which made Xiao Sha feel a bit hurt. So, can friends who like Xiao Sha raise their hands so Xiao Sha can thank them?" Xiao Sha said, acting sweet and charming, a complete reversal of the arrogant and domineering look she had had for the past two days.

The staff in the studio were rubbing their noses or looking at their shoes. A few supporting actors simply sat in their chairs and pretended to be asleep. Even the director's team, as soon as they saw Xiao Sha looking at them, quickly put their heads together and pretended to discuss something, making Xiao Sha so angry that her eyes were almost spitting fire.

Two minutes passed, and not a single person raised their hand!

"..." Xiao Sha was going crazy. Looking at He Lele, who had a calm and composed face, she almost bit her teeth into pieces.

How could this be! She was the Best Actress! She was the hottest and most popular new-generation actress of the moment! How could no one like her! She knew it! They were jealous of her! Jealous of her beauty, her talent, her popularity, and they had colluded with this little assistant to embarrass her!

Glaring at all the cast and crew one by one, she would remember them. She would make sure none of them could survive in this circle!

"Jingjing, Xiaofang!"

As soon as they heard Xiao Sha call the names of her two assistants, almost everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, looking at He Lele with pity—this bold and cute girl was still too impulsive. How could she win that kind of bet? Even if they all stayed true to their hearts and didn't raise their hands, Xiao Sha's assistants couldn't *not* raise theirs!

Jiang Jingjing looked at He Lele with some apology and slowly raised her hand with her companion.

The members of the director's team looked at each other and also stood up and walked toward He Lele. This girl... made people want to protect her.

Xiao Sha suppressed her anger and glared at He Lele. Given the current situation, even if she won, she had lost all face.

He Lele looked at Xiao Sha's two assistants, picked up the towel on the ground without caring, and looked as if she wanted to act as if nothing had happened.
