Ferocious Boss: Hubby, Let’s Get Married - Chapter 854

Chapter 854: Because The Boss Is Jealous

Zeng Keren’s cheeks were flushed red with exasperation. She liked, adored and admired Qin Jingzhi, and even went into this profession solely because of him. She firmly believed that she could play a starring role alongside Qin Jingzhi—the lead actor—based on her beauty, family background and an abundance of resources. This opportunity was hard to come by and she definitely needed it to give Qin Jingzhi an unforgettable impression.

There was no way Zeng Keren would profess her love for Qin Jingzhi. She was the woman who wanted everything to be delivered to her despite the intense desire to preserve her image.

Reticence was the family education instilled into Zeng Keren since childhood. She was the daughter of a well-reputed family. Her parents ensured that she would not behave like those uneducated ladies because an unreserved behavior was very disdainful.

However, Qin Jingzhi did not appreciate Zeng Keren’s persistent effort in her performance at all. Instead, he took the initiative to get close to Yan Qingsi and even invited her to cast in his film as a lead actress.

This was utterly unacceptable and unbearable to Zeng Keren, whose emotions were buried very deeply. She could not help but retaliate with mockery after seeing Yan Qingsi.

In all honesty, Zeng Keren was envious of Yan Qingsi’s ability to attract others’ attention effortlessly and detested her attempt to seduce Qin Jingzhi despite having a boyfriend.

Yan Qingsi stared at Zeng Keren—whose face was reddened with fires of fury smoldering in her eyes—and said, “I hate precious daughters from wealthy families like you. You think everyone should give you everything that you desire, but in fact, no one is obliged to pamper you except your parents. Instead of wasting time on pointless jealousy, I think it’s better for you to figure out why you’re beneath Qin Jingzhi’s contempt.”

After participating in numerous catfights of various intensities, Yan Qingsi felt extremely lazy to entertain a weakling like Zeng Keren who posed almost no threat at all.

These precious daughters from wealthy families were never exposed to any hardship in life and thus, had never experienced the harsh reality of the outside world. Many fought desperately just for food and struggled at the bottom of the social pyramid for survival. Therefore, one should strive for their own cravings rather than waiting to be spoonfed.

Yan Qingsi held Yue Tingfeng’s arm and walked away without wasting more time and energy on such boring and trivial matters.

Yue Tingfeng asked on their way home, “What’s the point of this sort of program recording?”

Yan Qingsi answered, “They want to propagate the show ‘Beauty’s Rival in Palace’ to increase the audience rating.”

Ji Mianmian—who was scrolling through her Weibo at the back of the car—yelled, “Sis, look, your group photo with Movie King Qin became the hottest topic in Weibo now! Many speculated that both of you are couples!”

“Really? Let me have a look,” replied Yan Qingsi.

Lil Xu peeked at the annoyed Yue Tingfeng and thought to himself. ‘Mianmian, I think you won’t be able to receive this month’s bonus. You actually mentioned this in front of the boss. You… You must be so eager to die!’

Yan Qingsi tagged Qin Jingshi’s Weibo and replied, “Perhaps I was banished by the monarch to the palace of exile for far too long!”

Yue Tingfeng snorted and thought to himself sarcastically. “Emperor and concubine… How affectionate.”

After arriving at the Yue family’s estate, Yue Tingfeng asked Yan Qingsi to enter the house first before speaking to Lil Xu and Ji Mianmian, who was going to return to their homes. “Both of you can kiss goodbye to this month’s bonuses.”

Lil Xu was taken by surprise instantly. “Boss, why am I included? I didn’t say anything just now.”

Yue Tingfeng replied, “Because your boss is unhappy right now.”

Ji Mianmian snapped out of confusion and nudged Lil Xu. “Why? Why doesn’t the boss want to give us the bonuses?”

Lil Xu answered bitterly, “Because the boss is jealous!”
