Chapter 53
Hong Bin
•Glanced at Li Jihyo and exclaimed• You also said it was sent to you by my assistant. What does it have to do with me? Don’t try to frame me, you can’t set me up so easily!
Hong Bin’s assistant was very aggrieved.
Stranger
Bin’s Aide: 💭Hong Bin, you clearly asked me to help you deliver them. You’re using me so shamelessly!
However, when the assistant saw how threatening Hong Bin looked, he quickly bottled up his emotions and admitted,
Stranger
Bin’s Aide: Yes, I like Sister Li Jihyo.
Hong Bin
Did you hear that? I won’t get involved with a sordid woman.
Li Jihyo
💭Soo woman? Is Hong Bin calling me a sordid woman!?
Li Jihyo was exasperated, but she had to maintain her image since there were so many people around.
Li Jihyo
Seems like I’ve been mistaken. But Hong Bin, I really want to work with you.
Zheng Yilong often tried to take advantage of her, but she didn’t care about Zheng Yilong at all. The person she had her eyes on was Hong Bin who was the only person who was worthy of her.
Kwon Taemin
I’m tired. You guys continue. Don’t mind me.
Taemin yawned and was just about to leave when the young woman standing behind Li Jihyo suddenly stretched out her foot.
Kwon Taemin
💭What era are we in? You’re still getting up to such childish tricks.
Taemin pretended not to see it and continued to walk forward with unusual composure. Seeing that he was about to walk past that woman, he suddenly raised her foot and stepped down hard.
Xiaofeng
Ah!
The woman shrieked in agony and everyone’s attention was caught by her.
Li Jihyo
Lei Lei, what’s wrong?
Xiaofeng
Sister Jihyo , Taemin stepped on me!
As she said that, Lei Lei even took off her shoes to show the red and swollen part of her foot. When Li Jihyo saw that, she screamed exaggeratedly and rushed forward to hold Lei Lei.
Li Jihyo
I remember that you have to film a dancing scene tomorrow. How can you dance with your feet so swollen?
Lei Chan
Taemin, you’re a newbie but you’re so haughty. Aren’t you scared of being kicked out of the industry one day? If you don’t apologize to Lei Lei today, everyone might think that I can’t protect the actors in my team!
The hot-tempered Tian wen was infuriated after hearing his words too. He rolled up his sleeves and crossed his arms, ready to lash out at him. Taemin suddenly took a step back and stepped hard on Lei Lei’s other foot. Lei Lei stumbled and fell onto the ground.
Li Jihyo
Taemin, you are lawless, huh?
Li Jihyo
•Squatted down to hold Lei Lei, glaring daggers at Taemin• Director Tian, how do you dare to let a person of such bad character and violent tendency stay in the cast?
Kwon Taemin
Now both your feet are equally swollen. Isn’t that good?
Kwon Taemin
• said with a straight face. Pointing at the paparazzi that had been hiding in the flowers outside• Do you really think that everyone is as blind as you people?
Kwon Taemin
And…
Kwon Taemin
•Looking at Lei Lei from above and asked• Do you think you are the emperor’s favorite concubine and you’re fighting with the rest of the harem? Are your feet so big that you have to specially stretch them out to trip me? I am not a stupid actress who’s blindly kindhearted. If you really harm me, your entire family will not afford to pay for the consequences!
They had never seen such an arrogant person. He was the one who stepped on someone’s foot for no reason and yet, he turned the tables and taught the other party a lesson. Many of the bystanders looked disgusted.
Lei Chan
Taemin, you’re bent on going against me, huh? No matter how good my temper is, I won’t let you off today. You either apologize to Lei Lei immediately or wait for your reputation to be ruined.
When Hong Bin saw that Taemin was being attacked and bullied, he immediately flared up.
Hong Bin
Whoever dares to touch my Lei Pepper is going against me. Do you really think I’m a pushover?
While saying that, Hong Bin deliberately kicked Lei Lei’s feet.
Hong Bin
The swelling is up to standard. I think your feet are indeed being stepped. Of all places, you just had to stretch it out below my Lei Pepper’s feet.
Xiaofeng
I…
Hong Bin
You’re still trying to argue, huh? The audience is not blind. Everyone saw you stretching your leg out and you still have the cheek to blame it on Lei Pepper. Are you that poor? If Lei Pepper hadn’t shown you mercy, you’d probably have become crippled.
Lei Lei bit her lower lip tightly and looked at Lei Chan with tears in her eyes. He was the one who told her to create trouble for Taemin! Lei Chan winked at Lei Lei. Taemin saw all their interaction.
Kwon Taemin
I’m not a petty person. You just have to apologize to me and I’ll let it go.
Xiaofeng
💭Apologize?’ How dare Taemin ask me to apologize? Is he kidding!?
Li Jihyo, who had created a saintly and kindhearted image for herself in the entertainment industry, stood up abruptly when she heard those words.
Li Jihyo
We’re both are actor and actresses and I feel ashamed to have a colleague like you. Everyone saw you stepping on Lei Lei’s feet for no reason. We all know how much it hurts to be stepped on by high heels.
Kwon Taemin
She wanted to put her foot out herself, what’s it got to do with me?
Li Jihyo had a good reputation among the actresses, and most of the newbies had great respect for her. Therefore, she thought that Taemin would more or less give her some respect, but she never thought that Taemin would be so arrogant. Her expression changed and she looked heartbroken and dismayed.
Li Jihyo
How can you be so rude? I was sympathetic towards you at first because of the matter between you and Sung, but now it seems that you are to blame.
Kwon Taemin
💭Why are there more lunatics in this era than the ancient times? If she really pisses me off again, I’ll kill off all of them. At most, I’ll return to the underworld and line up for another 500 years.
Li Jihyo
On the account of Director Lei and I, you just have to apologize and we can solve this issue. I believe it won’t reflect well on any of us if this becomes viral.
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Taemin lost his temper.
Kwon Taemin
On your account? You don’t carry any weight at all. I didn’t want to get physical with you, but you’re just asking for it. Let me tell you, you ought to be thankful that we’re living in a civilized society now. If this is in the past, I’d definitely strip you naked and hang you at the entrance of the fortress so that everyone can see you.
Li Jihyo was so infuriated that she was shivering uncontrollably from head to toe.
Li Jihyo
💭What does Hong Bin see in this omega?
Lei Chan
Taemin, don’t you go too far. We won’t let this go just like that. Just you wait!
Lei Chan
Once this video is posted online, your reputation will be completely ruined.
Tian wen felt that it was time for him to step in. He walked over and stood in front of Taemin. Glaring at Lei Chan menacingly, he retorted.
Tian wei
Do you think you’re the only one who has a cellphone? I do too, and I’ve recorded all of your lowly and unscrupulous tricks! Let’s see who’s reputation gets ruined!
Tian wen clicked on the video and played it. It happened to be the scene of Lei Lei extending her foot.
Hong Bin
Ah, so the evildoer is accusing someone else of the misdeed they’ve done! You’ve got such a terrible team and you still want to cooperate with me. Dream on.
Everyone fell silent. Lei Chan did not expect Tian wen to be so despicable. Seeing the defeated expressions of Lei Chan and others, Tian wen was secretly rejoiced and felt thankful that he had fortunately decided to be careful and started recording everything before they did, knowing that Lei Chan would create trouble. Li Jihyo also froze and looked at Lei Lei who was hanging her head low. She clenched her fists. She looked up with a feeble smile.
Li Jihyo
I’m sorry for being too agitated just now. I just couldn’t stand seeing newcomers being bullied. After all, I’ve been in their shoes before.
