She stopped watching the news and focused on her own things.

That day, Sister Mai Na and her assistant, Wei Wei, accompanied her to the television station for the publicity shoot.

The beer-bellied person-in-charge politely spoke as he rubbed his hands together awkwardly. "My apologies, Sister Mai Na and Miss Ye. The shoot has been canceled, weren't you two informed by the staff members?"

"Canceled? Why?" asked Sister Mai Na as she frowned.

"Well..." The person-in-charge glanced at Xia Ling as he feigned helplessness. "The matter involving Miss Ye has blown up. Considering our reputation and viewership, we have decided to find someone else for this, so..."

"Who is it?" Xia Ling cut him off coldly.

"Of course, it's Xiao Yu." Covered in a suit and leather shoes, Chu Chen gracefully walked out from the recording studio with confidence. He turned sideways, allowing a girl in a flowered-crochet dress to pass through, acting like a gentleman. Indeed, it was Xia Yu.

"We meet again, Ye Xingling." Xia Yu was always meek and gentle in front of others, appearing as pure as an angel. However, she could hardly conceal her cockiness and gloating as she let out a slight smirk.

Xia Ling stepped forward.

At that moment, Xia Yu turned pale and retreated in fright, tugging at Chu Chen's sleeve. Almost immediately, Chu Chen, her assistants, and her bodyguard formed a protective shield around Xia Yu, staring at Xia Ling coldly and menacingly, as though she was the enemy.

"Were you planning on striking her?" Chu Chen's cold voice rang throughout the corridor.

Oncoming passersby shot glances at Xia Ling, pointing fingers at her.

Once again, Xia Ling had underestimated those cunning bitches and was placed in an unfavorable situation. She only wanted to settle things calmly, yet Xia Yu could play the victim in a split second.

She was about to lose her temper when Sister Mai Na shielded her from the others.

"Chu Chen, openly snatching our shoot after resorting to underhand means for publicity? I can sue you!"

"Go ahead," Chu Chen replied in a civil manner.

"Let's go!" Sister Mai Na was almost exploding with anger as she left with Xia Ling and Wei Wei hastily.

Back to the nanny van.

"Simmer down, Sister Mai Na, holding in your anger is not good for the body," said Wei Wei cautiously.

The anger faded from Sister Mai Na's face and was replaced with a cold, frosty look. "I am not as angry as I look, Wei Wei." She sounded calm as she stared deeply into the television station's direction.

"What? Then why did you...?" she asked, stunned.

"I behaved that way so that we can appear to be at the end of our rope, then they would let their guard down." Sister Mai Na explained. "Only then our follow-up plan can proceed smoothly. But..." She paused and turned to Xia Ling. "Xiao Ling, what kind of foul temper did you just display? Why are you so easily provoked? What were you planning to do if I didn't step in just now?"

"Slap her face," Xia Ling replied honestly.

Wei Wei was astounded. Why would Sister Xiao Ling dare to do that when she was already the talk of the town in a bad way?
