BXBX NOVEL Chapter 240 - I Am Cai Ni
Chapter 240: I Am Cai Ni
The pair continued walking as they were interviewed and soon, they arrived near Shen Xi and Li Jingran.
The reporters threw a prying and expectant look at Gong Zhi. “Ms. Gong, tell us. Which of them is wearing the real “Feathered Prism Illusion Dress”?”
Gong Zhi grinned at Li Jingran before pointing at Shen Xi. “This is the original.”
Li Jingran knew it. For Shen Xi to brazenly put on the knockoff dress, it must be as Gong Zhi’s instructions. She thought so. Li Jingran scoffed and put on a sour look. “Ms. Gong, why are you so sure? You could have participated in the making of the fake dress to try and slander me!”
These nosy entertainment reporters were all the same. Hearing this, they really wanted in on the gossip.
It was no secret in showbiz that Ms. Gong and Ms. Li were rivals who never saw eye to eye.
Oh, the media wanted to cheer them on for a bigger catfight so that they had more drama to write about. They loved artists who were confronting and threw dirt upon encounters.
“Ms. Li, what do you mean? I don’t get you. I’m only speaking of the truth.” Gong Zhi gave a provocative smile. “Is it weird for Ms. Cai Ni to wear her own work instead of putting it on you?”
Li Jingran’s mind went blank. What Ms. Cai Ni? Who was Ms. Cai Ni?
These entertainment reporters were quick to catch and could sniff gossip a mile away. Once they got the picture of what was going on, the reporters stared at Shen Xi and gathered around her in disbelief.
“Miss, are you the Ms. Cai Ni?”
“Ms. Cai Ni, what are your thoughts about someone wearing a knockoff of your work on the red carpet?”
“Ms. Cai Ni, in Ms. Li’s words, she said you sold the dress to her. What do you have to say about this?”
…
“There’s only one “Feathered Prism Illusion Dress” in the world.” Shen Xi turned to Li Jingran and smirked disdainfully. “I never sold the dress to Ms. Li. Not only has Ms. Li insulted me with lies, but she also coughed up some stories as well. Bravo.”
Li Jingran’s head was buzzing as she blanked out and lost sight of everything. The reporters swarmed onto her like flies while she froze there.
Impossible!
How could this be?
How could Shen Xi, the brat, be Cai Ni!
Li Jingran could not believe it and refused to believe it. It could not be her! She was lying!
The reporters looked at Li Jingran with eyes of mockery, contempt, and cynicism. Their forte was aggravating the situation and rubbing salt in the wound.
“Ms. Li, why must you wear a counterfeit gown?”
“Ms. Li, did you put on the knockoff to outdo Ms. Gong Zhi?”
“Ms. Li, I hope you’re able to give me a straight answer. You’re a well-respected veteran in showbiz. Don’t you find it embarrassing to do so?”
…
While feeling a rush of emotions, Li Jingran caught a glimpse of Shen Xi’s scornful smile by the corner of her eye. She felt a lump in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood before losing consciousness in a sea of blackness and falling heavily onto the ground.
“Ah!”
“Ms. Li!”
“Call the medic! Ms. Li is unconscious!”
The reporters were stunned and flustered to watch the back of her head hit the ground and bleed out. Sure, they wanted firsthand gossip but not at a cost of a life.
