《Being A Shrew To My Ex-Husband》Chapter 86: Jiang Xingchen
Advertisement
Time flew by swiftly. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month. People had completely bid farewell to autumn, and with the arrival of cold air, it was officially winter.
The once-in-three-year Starlight Festival had commenced. Under the publicity of the Mango Channel, people had long been looking forward to seeing which celebrities would participate in this year's Starlight Festival.
Early in the morning, Tang Yitong sent a professional makeup team to find Su Yan. They washed her hair and styled it for her. From eye shadow to blush, from hairpins to necklaces, they worked on her for three and a half hours before it was over.
Su Yan could not help laughing at herself as she looked at herself in the mirror. Ever since she graduated from university, it was the first time she had dressed so exquisitely. Even when she married Wei Zhou three years ago, it was not as grand as it was now. The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. She felt that since Tang Yitong had put in so much effort, she must have done something behind her back.
The makeup artist praised her, "Miss Su, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever done make-up for."
Su Yan smiled politely at her. "Thank you. At your age, you are also the best makeup artist I have ever seen."
She gladly accepted the praise. Even if she did not put on makeup, she was still a true beauty. She had mesmerizing almond-shaped eyes, her nose was tall, and her lips were alluring. Sometimes, when she looked in the mirror, she would be amazed by her own beauty.
...
Dozens of minutes later, Su Yan met Shen Ling. There was still some time before the gala started.

"Where's Tang Yitong?" Su Yan asked.
Shen Ling said, "Yitong hasn't put on makeup yet. She's in the nanny car."
Su Yan asked curiously, "Why do I have a feeling this gala means a lot to Tang Yitong?"
Shen Ling smiled sadly. "She wants to get back at someone. Not long ago, she quarreled with Li Miao on a variety show. It was because Li Miao ridiculed you."
Su Yan was slightly startled. Like Tang Yitong when she heard the name. Li Miao was also a popular female celebrity. She was just an artist from another talent agency. It seemed she had been competing with Tang Yitong for various resources.
"What kind of background does Li Miao have?" Su Yan asked.
"Miss Su, Li Miao is indeed not simple. Her background is a little strong. Let's just..." Shen Ling's voice became softer as she spoke.
The corners of Su Yan's mouth twitched. "Ling, we have been working together for a long time. You should know my temper and character. I can bully my people, but I won't take it lying down when others do."
Shen Ling looked worried when she realized Su Yan was not finished with Li Miao. She turned her eyes away and felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have said anything. She did not want to cause more trouble.
"Ling, if you don't say anything, then you are looking down on me?" Su Yan pressed.
Shen Ling sighed and said three words, "Jiang Xingchen."
Su Yan's lips curled up. "I see!"
Jiang Xingchen was good friends with Wei Zhou. Also, he was Jiang Yuan's cousin. She did not expect Li Miao's backer to be him. It was getting more and more interesting.

At this moment, the nanny car door opened. Tang Yitong lunged into Su Yan's arms so swiftly that she almost knocked her down. Shen Ling shook her head as she watched from the side. She felt Tang Yitong was a child who could not grow up. She had set her up as a cold and aloof image. Now that she thought about it, she really regretted it. If someone found out the truth behind Tang Yitong and photographed her one day, would her image collapse?
"Mwah! Yan Yan is so pretty. Get over here. I want to give you a kiss." Tang Yitong pouted and was about to kiss Su Yan's face.
Su Yan raised her arms to block with all her might. She was completely speechless as she said, "Stop fooling around. I spent three and a half hours putting on this makeup. This is all thanks to you."
"Hehe. Am I not doing this for your own good?" Tang Yitong spoke candidly, "I can guarantee that tonight, you are destined to be the brightest girl in the room. Whoever looks down on you will be blind. Then again, I don't think such a person exists."
Su Yan curved her lips. "I beg to differ. Wei Zhou would do exactly that."
At the mention of Wei Zhou, her heart was as still as water. It was unlike the first two months of the divorce where she could not bear hearing the name, "Wei Zhou". Also, she was in no shape to make fun of herself. By now, she no longer had feelings for Wei Zhou at all and the stupid man was simply not worth it.
Tang Yitong gave her a thumbs up. "Yan Yan, you can even mock herself now. You are such a ruthless person."
Su Yan said mildly, "It's getting late. Let's go!"
On the way, Tang Yitong told Su Yan about all the grudges between her and Li Miao. She was also very familiar with Li Miao's shady dealings behind her back.
After understanding the situation, Su Yan's face darkened. In the past three years, Li Miao had snatched the female lead of three major IP series from Tang Yitong, a foreign red carpet runway show, three luxury endorsements, and various businesses.
Su Yan looked at Tang Yitong's depressing little face and asked, "Haven't you fought back?"
Tang Yitong said seriously, "Of course I have. I snatched two of her variety shows, and because of that, the two of us even had a fight at the production team offices."
"What else?" Su Yan continued to ask.
"No, nothing else." Tang Yitong's expression was awkward.
Su Yan jokingly scolded, "You are such an embarrassment for letting her do this!"
