I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 332 – Many romances ended when a woman was disappointed too many times and gained clarity (1)

As the saying goes, whenever three women get together, there will be drama.

Ye Zhen had no interest in that arrogant woman. Any other time, she wouldn’t even care about chatting with her.

Ning Ke was very unhappy from Ye Zhen’s mocking words.

She was able to stand there and mock Meng Jie because Meng Jie had laid low for five years. And, when Meng Jie finally returned to the big screen, she joined the cast of a movie that obviously would not do well. Her future was grim to say the least, and she would never see the light of day again. That was the reason that Ning Ke felt confident in mocking her.

Ye Zhen, on the other hand, was not someone she would want to go up against. Or, one could say that Ye Zhen wasn’t someone that she could afford to offend.

Her status of being Lu Beichuan’s wife was enough to deter many from acting erratically in front of her.

The salesperson in the same room as the other three women felt very awkward.

Ye Zhen turned and gave Ning Ke a look. “Ning Ke, right? Pardon me. Perhaps what I have said was a little overboard. It was, after all, my first time encountering the entertainment circle and I don’t know it very well. What kind of awards had Miss Ning earned in the past?”

“I...” Ning Ke stuttered some and said, “I have received the best female support...”

“Best Female Supporting Character?” Ye Zhen was surprised, as though her interest had been revived. “Was that in the Golden Eagle Award, the Academy Award, or the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival?”

The smile froze on Ning Ke. All of her arrogance was gone under Ye Zhen’s aggressive questioning.

“Or, perhaps it was the Oscar?”

Ning Ke stiffened.

“Judging from Miss Ning’s look, it was none of those? What a waste of your standard female supporting character look.”

Her words were both aggravating and hurtful. She was clearly saying that she would be a female supporting character for life.

Even Meng Jie, who was very good at controlling her expression, couldn’t help but chuckle a little.

Ning Ke felt even more hateful when she saw the smile on Meng Jie. She might have only been a female supporting character so far, but all these years of playing those roles had still earned her a lot of fans and her status within the entertainment circle could rival some first-tier actresses. All she was missing was an opportunity.

What was so funny to Meng Jie? And who was she to be laughing at her?

“Mrs. Lu, truth was, I have a lot of respect for you. After all, you had the courage to become a producer in the entertainment circle. As you have said so earlier, you have not been in the field for very long and don’t know all the ins and outs in this circle.” She suppressed her anger and embarrassment from earlier and put on a different expression altogether. Smiling, she said, “This lead actress of yours has a lot of history. It’s just that not many know about it now after she had been put on the back burner for the past five years. Do you know what Miss Meng was known for five years ago?”

Ning Ke looked at Ye Zhen excitedly. “That she was a kept woman for several years. When she had offended her employer for whatever reason, her employer had blocked all of her avenues. Mrs. Lu, it wasn’t that I question your judgement of characters; I just feel that you need to know the truth when it comes to someone like Meng Jie, who is good at making others feel pitiful for her.”

“A kept woman?” Ye Zhen pulled out her cellphone. “Can Miss Ning repeat that into my phone?”

“Whatever do you mean, Mrs. Lu?”

“Didn’t you just tell me in no uncertain terms that five years ago Miss Meng Jie had the history of being a kept woman for several years.”

The smile disappeared from Ning Ke, “I... I have only heard of it in passing.”

She knew that Ye Zhen only pulled her phone out to record her. Being in the entertainment circle for so many years, she had an idea how this worked. Saying something without proof would constitute slandering and she could be sued for that.

Not to mention that the Lu’s Corporation was known in the entertainment industry for sending out lawyers’ letters.

Lu Beichuan fully utilized the team of lawyers that he kept on his payroll.
