Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 249, Section 248: Xiao Tian confronts Chen Duling, a chaotic scene (4K)

"I'm so happy! I'm a top female celebrity now!"

After taking a shower, Lin Shaobai called Tian Xiwei back and listened to her talking non-stop about recent events.

"Everyone online is praising my portrayal of Xiao Lan Hua. They say I'm the chosen Xiao Lan Hua, and I agree."

"One hit drama after another. I'm amazing!"

Congratulations!

"Hahahahahaha!"

Tian Xiwei's tone was too excited, and Lin Shaobai's words were quickly drowned out by laughter.

Xiao Tian never said those words, but Lin Shaobai vaguely sensed it.

"I'm finally famous! I've finally become a top star!"

Perhaps this is what she really wanted to say.

Very direct and satisfying.

Tian Xiwei can now be considered a female celebrity with both achievements and popularity. She has starred in three hit dramas, each of which is enough for fans to rave about for days and nights.

"By the way, Xiaolin, have you been paying attention to the CP (couple) rankings lately?"

"CP ranking? There isn't one."

Lin Shaobai has been busy filming, and sometimes he can't even keep up with the promotion of the "Canglan Jue" crew, let alone pay attention to things like the Weibo CP rankings.

"Our CP has become number one on Weibo since we were young!"

"is it?"

"We're the hottest couple on the internet right now, with almost a million fans. A ton of people like us."

One reason this drama is so popular is because the on-screen couple is so hot.

Netizens think Lin Shaobai and Tian Xiwei are a perfect match, and the classic pairing of the clueless and unhappy characters in the drama has attracted a lot of people.

Anyway, a large number of netizens really like watching male leads who are aloof and female leads who are sunny and kind. The story is about how the aloof male lead gradually melts the female lead's heart, and how he is only moved by her. That's what they can get from the story.

"I'm thinking about whether I should post a group photo. Fans have been asking us to post group photos for them. Anyway, we've taken a lot of group photos while filming."

"Send it if you want."

"Since you've agreed, I'll choose the best-looking one to send! Oh, by the way—"

"Shaobai! We're out of shampoo."

Tian Xiwei's words came to an abrupt end.

Although the woman's voice was very soft, it still reached Xiaotian's ears.

Lin Shaobai was truly surprised that Dudu would suddenly say that!

Why would someone who was quietly taking a bath suddenly start talking?!
So Lin Shaobai quickly changed locations and continued making the call.

"Oh. Xiaolin, a friend of mine asked when you're releasing an album. He's still waiting to hear your new songs. Don't forget to release songs while you're busy filming. There are still many fans waiting for you."

After a few seconds of pause, Tian Xi took the initiative to change the subject.

Since the other party didn't seem interested in bringing this up, Lin Shaobai quickly followed her lead and continued talking.

"It'll be soon, it should be issued by the end of the year."

"Oh, well then, I have something to do, so I'll hang up now."

Okay then—

The call was disconnected before Lin Shaobai could finish speaking.

Tian Xiwei's tone quickened noticeably in the latter half of the call, indicating she wanted to end it quickly.

Lin Shaobai put down his phone, took a new bottle of shampoo from the bedroom, and handed it to Chen Duling, who was taking a shower.

"I just spoke to Xiaotian on the phone..."

"Huh? Did you hear me calling you?"

Chen Duling interrupted.

"They must have overheard it."

"This……"

“It’s okay, I was planning to talk to her about this soon anyway.”

"Would she agree to accept our relationship?"

"It will definitely work."

Lin Shaobai understood that Xiao Tian probably wouldn't have agreed before, and would probably have done the same as her senior sister.

But things are different now; after all this time, we can play the emotional card!
It'll happen sooner or later!
Hearing this, Chen Duling didn't say anything more. She silently closed the door and squeezed the shampoo into her palm, creating large clumps of foam.

Meanwhile, Tian Xiwei's smile had long since frozen; she had sensed that something was wrong with Chen Duling a while ago.

This incident only further confirms what I already knew.

Tian Xiwei is currently very popular, and she is too busy with the promotion of her TV series and various business deals to pay attention to this matter.

Since we've already run into the line of fire, we can't just ignore it.

How long has it been since Wang Churan's incident?

Then came the Chen Duling incident.

Tian Xiwei felt a bit of a headache.

Perhaps I was too excited about becoming a top influencer, and now I don't have the energy to think anymore.

She casually picked up a chicken burger from the table leg, and said while eating, "So Kobayashi likes to have relationships with couples on set..."

Tian Xiwei felt a little helpless when she thought about this.

She had heard a lot about couples on set before, but she never expected it to happen to Lin Shaobai.

I had never thought about it in this way before.

But first it was Wang Churan, and then it was Chen Duling, which undoubtedly proves that they were a couple on set.

Tian Xiwei felt very sad, as if the emotions from last time were still stuck in her heart.

I felt so suffocated I could hardly breathe.

I had added Chen Duling's contact information before but never had a chance to contact her. It seems I have no choice but to do so this time.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiwei immediately sent a message to Chen Duling, arranging a free time to meet and talk.

Chen Duling naturally knew what Xiaotian wanted to say. Now that things had come to this point, there was no point in running away anymore.

She was lying in bed reading the news, raising her eyebrows slightly.

This is the first time I've ever encountered something like this in my life, so I absolutely mustn't panic.

……

……

Before the two met, Tian Xiwei officially announced her first high-end luxury brand endorsement, Gucci.

Can a top celebrity still be called a top celebrity if they don't have high-end luxury brand endorsements?!
The official announcement also confirmed that Ms. Tian Xiwei has become the Gucci brand ambassador.

Whether it's the search volume on Weibo and other platforms, or the quantity and quality of her commercial endorsements, Tian Xiwei can be considered a top female influencer.

It can be said that Lin Shaobai single-handedly nurtured her.

So whenever she encounters emotional issues like this, she subconsciously doesn't blame Lin Shaobai.

She essentially wanted a lifelong, monogamous relationship, but a series of events made her realize that she should give up this idea as soon as possible.

When she arrived at the company that day, her agent told her about her upcoming work schedule.

Tian Xiwei seemed a bit absent-minded, even as her agent kept talking non-stop.

For Oda, it all went in one ear and out the other.

Later, the agent couldn't stand it anymore and slammed his fist on the table.

"Snapped!"

"what?"

The loud bang caused by slamming her hand on the table brought Tian Xiwei back to her senses. She blinked her eyes in confusion.

"Of all that I said, what did you remember?"

"Forehead……"

"Alright, alright, I guess I wasted my breath. What's wrong? Why are you so distracted?"

"It's nothing." Tian Xi shook her head slightly.

Agent: "You've only just become Gucci's brand ambassador, and you're already so distraught?"

"You weren't exactly distraught, were you? Your description is really strange."

Tian Xiwei felt helpless.

The agent's words made him seem very dejected.

"You should be even more successful and thriving now that you're at that level. You've achieved both fame and fortune."

"It's a win-win situation, both in terms of fame and fortune!"

"Who would have such a bitter face after achieving both fame and fortune? Only you, Tian Xiwei, could do that!"

It was a perfectly normal thing, but for no apparent reason, the two of them started raising their voices, each trying to outdo the other.

"This is my personal matter. It's not a work-related issue."

"Alright, now that you've recovered, I'll repeat what I said before, so listen carefully!"

"Ok!"

Although he verbally agreed, Xiaotian still didn't listen very seriously.

The next night

She then met Dudu at the designated upscale restaurant.

Tian Xiwei felt that she should resolve things with these women privately and not let them affect Lin Shaobai any further.

Chen Duling was dressed very casually today.

Wearing a baseball cap and a mask, her elegant demeanor was still undeniable.

She actually smiled habitually when she saw Xiaotian, but her mask covered it, so no one could see what her expression was.

Tian Xi glanced at her briefly before quickly turning her head back.

Chen Duling sat opposite Xiaotian, smiling gently: "Don't you want to eat something?"

"I'm not eating. I think I'll keep it short."

Chen Duling turned her head to one side, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Just as she had expected, things turned out exactly as she had anticipated.

Xiao Tian'er is also a decisive and efficient person.

Since that's the case, let's do as she says.

"You like Lin Shaobai, right? You two are having an affair as a couple on set."

Tian Xiwei felt particularly heartbroken when she said those last four words.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest.

"I do like Lin Shaobai, but we're not a couple on set."

Chen Duling's expression remained the same as before, calm and composed, like the breeze at the turn of spring and summer.

Looking directly at her, you can't tell what she's thinking at all.

Seeing her like this, Tian Xiwei could only try her best to calm herself down.

The main reason is that, having learned from Wang Churan's previous experience, she won't spill red wine again this time!
Pour sulfuric acid directly!
Okay, just kidding.

Tian Xiwei took a breath first, and then drank the water in front of her in one gulp.

He slammed the cup down on the table before speaking, "What do you mean by 'not a couple from the film crew'? Why were you with Lin Shaobai that night? And you were probably taking a shower, weren't you?"

As Tian Xiwei finished speaking, she gritted her teeth, unable to hide her jealousy and anger.

Chen Duling sat upright opposite her, like an elegant poet.

"Would you believe me if I told you that I was going over the script with her?"

"Are you playing that script-reading trick?! I'm sorry, but this was exposed as fake years ago. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"..."

"To tell you the truth, I am Lin Shaobai's girlfriend. So what you did that night is equivalent to being a mistress."

Tian Xiwei rattled off the whole truth in one go.

But when she looked up again, she found that Chen Duling in front of her still didn't have much of an expression, always as calm and collected as ever.

Even the slightest tremor at the corner of her mouth was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water, creating ripples.

That's outrageous; this woman seems to have no emotions.

wrong.

Tian Xiwei quickly calmed down, realizing she couldn't be fooled by Chen Duling's innocent and seemingly indifferent face!

"I'm not joking with you, please take this seriously. I hope you won't do this kind of thing again."

"..."

"At least say something, you surnamed Chen! You've been standing there the whole time, are you mute?!"

Tian Xiwei had reached her breaking point; no one can stand passive-aggressive behavior!
Or let's have a big, heated argument!
He sat there like a log for half a day without moving, just outputting his own output.

"Sigh. I originally planned not to get involved in this matter."

Chen Duling's eyes curved downwards at the corners, giving the impression of a forced smile.

"What do you mean?"

"I think you may have some misunderstandings about me."

"Misunderstanding my foot! I've known for a long time that something's off about you. I know Shao Bai is very charming, so I came here to warn you. I'm his girlfriend. From now on, please have some self-respect."

"Self-respect and self-love?" Chen Duling's mouth was half open, but she swallowed back what she was about to say: "Alright, it seems I don't need to hide it anymore. What I want to say is that you and I are both Lin Shaobai's girlfriends."

"……what?"

Tian Xiwei thought there was something wrong with her ears and that she had misheard.

In her mind, Chen Duling and Wang Churan were only doing things to seduce vixens, and were nothing more than mistresses!
I never imagined that we were all Lin Shaobai's girlfriends.

how can that be possible?
Everyone has their own thoughts.

How can it be……

“Everything I said is true. At this point, I have no reason to lie to you. You can also ask Lin Shaobai. He was planning to tell you about this soon.”

"you……"

"Judging from your expression, this isn't the first time you've encountered something like this. Wang Churan, me, you, and Zhang Jingyi are all Lin Shaobai's girlfriends."

"Zhang Jingyi?!"

This was someone Oda had never imagined.

She felt dizzy and quickly grabbed the chair next to her.

I had gone out to play with Xiao Zhang before.

They have a good relationship and get along well.

how could be?

According to this Mr. Chen, everyone knows about this relationship and accepts it.

So in the end, in the end...

"In the end, you were all lying to me, weren't you? Was I the only one being deceived?"

Tian Xiwei raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes widened even more than before.

The fire in my heart burned ever brighter.

Why do you only lie to me... why do you only lie to me?!
Tian Xiwei kept repeating this question in her mind.

Chen Duling stood up unhurriedly: "Originally, Xiaolin was going to tell you this, but since you called me here and brought up things like a couple on set, a mistress... well, I'll tell you in advance. We have an open relationship, you—"

"Who said you're 'us'?"

Tian Xiwei's emotions finally erupted. She pointed at Chen Duling's face and shouted, "Who accepts this kind of open relationship?! I never said I wanted to accept it from the beginning!"

Chen Duling was helpless, but even though she was being yelled at like that, she remained calm: "You said it yourself, you know how charming Lin Shaobai is. In this industry, do you think a man like that would stay only for you? We all like him just as much as you do."

Tian Xi stared at Chen Duling's face, her fingers gradually tightening their grip on the phone.

Chen Duling: "I advise you to take it easy and accept this relationship. Yes, you are a top star now, but don't forget where you came from. Who raised you from an unknown actress to the top star you are today?"
