Upon hearing that someone dared to bully her best friend, Meng Tang immediately rolled up her sleeves and charged over with murderous intent.

"What's going on? Who's fighting and causing trouble?"

While seemingly asking what happened, Meng Tang immediately checked on Li Su's condition after entering the dressing room.

Li Su was completely unharmed; not even a single hair on her head was touched.

On the contrary, Du Xinyue's newly made hairstyle was messed up, her hair was disheveled, and some hair was scattered on the ground, all of which had been pulled off during the fight.

To be precise, it was a one-sided thrashing by Li Su.

Du Xinyue's makeup was ruined, and even her costume was torn and askew. She was probably terrified of Li Su. She and her equally terrified assistant were huddled in a corner, covering their heads.

Li Su, on the other hand, stood unharmed, looking down from above, and even had the energy to stretch her wrists and muscles.

When Du Xinyue saw Meng Tang arrive, she assumed the director had come to seek justice for her.

She immediately stepped forward, sobbing, and cried, "Director Meng, this woman has gone too far! Look what she did to me! I'm going to call the police and get a workers' compensation assessment. I will never let her get away with this!"

Meng Tang pretended to look her up and down, "Let me see where you're injured."

"I don't think it's a big deal. It's just that your makeup is a bit messy. It's nothing serious. The makeup artist can just redo it for you."

Seeing that Meng Tang didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter, Du Xinyue immediately became anxious: "What do you mean 'nothing happened'? She just punched me hard multiple times, and she also hit my assistant. It can't just be left like this. I have to call the police!"

Li Su scoffed and raised her hand, "Did you see me hit you with any of your eyes?"

Du Xinyue was terrified after being beaten, and thinking that Li Su was going to hit her again, she shrank back and hid behind Meng Tang.

"You...you stay away! Director Meng, look, this woman dares to threaten me right in front of you, and she even tried to hit me again. The injuries on my body, and on my assistant's body, are irrefutable evidence!"

Unexpectedly, Li Su flipped her hand over in a simple gesture.

He showed everyone the back of his hand and, imitating Du Xinyue, immediately began to accuse her.

"If you insist on framing me, then I'll say it too. Look at the scratches on my hands; they were all caused by you hitting me. I'm going to call the police; I have irrefutable evidence!"

Upon closer inspection, everyone noticed a small red mark on the back of Li Su's hand; it was so fine that it would be difficult to notice unless one looked closely.

Moreover, this almost negligible injury would probably heal by the time the police aren't called immediately.

"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who hit me and my assistant! And those aren't injuries at all; they were just accidental cuts you made while you were hitting me. What does that have to do with me?"

Li Su covered her hands, feigning disbelief and grievance, "You really know how to turn the tables. You were the one who mocked me first, and then you insisted on taking the makeup artist away to do your makeup."

"Fortunately, the makeup artist was understanding and ignored your diva-like behavior. In your anger, you accidentally tripped and fell, and your assistant tripped and fell while helping you up."

"You all fell because of your own mistakes, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Su shrugged and started making things up.

Since there are no security cameras in the dressing room anyway, let's see whose acting is more realistic.

In terms of acting skills, Li Su is a professional, completely outshining Du Xinyue, a nobody who only knows how to act like a diva.

As they were talking, Li Su quickly gave Meng Tang a look.

Meng Tang immediately understood what the other person meant and cooperated with their act.

"you……"

Just as the two were about to start arguing again, Meng Tang raised her hand.

"Alright, the current situation is that both sides have their own reasons, and I won't comment further until things are clear."

As she spoke, Meng Tang looked at the makeup artist and asked, "Makeup artist, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

The makeup artist, who was startled by the sight of the three women fighting, stood at the farthest point and was not affected.

Hearing Meng Tang's question, he said, "Director Meng, it's like this. Since Teacher Li arrived first, I did her makeup first. Before I finished, Teacher Du arrived right after."

"Teacher Du said she had scenes to film later, so she asked me to come and do her makeup first. I said Teacher Li was almost done too, so I would go and do her makeup in about five minutes."

"But to everyone's surprise, Teacher Du refused, and even said that Teacher Li...she..."

The makeup artist hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Meng Tang gave her an encouraging look, indicating that she should just tell the truth: "Just tell the truth, and I will definitely uphold justice."

"Teacher Du said that Teacher Li has no acting skills and no morals. If it weren't for her family's wealth, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to get the lead role through connections."

"They even mocked her for not being capable of being the female lead, saying that the entire production team would be dragged down by her, and that the show would undoubtedly flop when it aired."

No wonder Li Su took action; her best friend's personality is such that she would rather use her hands than her words.

Since someone dared to act so recklessly right in front of her, she naturally had to grant their wish.

These people are all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong; they're really shameless. A good beating will make them behave.

Meng Tang's sharp gaze fell on Du Xinyue, "Did you say all these nasty things?"

Du Xinyue felt a little guilty, but still stubbornly said, "I... I also saw what people on the internet were saying. Besides, everyone who has seen her previous roles knows how terrible her acting was. What the netizens said isn't without reason."

"If she has the guts to cause trouble here, why doesn't she have the guts to argue with netizens online? I was just stating what I saw online, I didn't do anything wrong, and besides, it's just the truth."

As she continued, Du Xinyue muttered under her breath, "They clearly got in through connections, but they won't admit it. Besides, I was originally supposed to be the female lead in this drama, but someone else snatched it away for me. That's why I feel even more wronged."

Du Xinyue harbors resentment towards Li Su because the original male and female leads for "The Wrongful Conspiracy" were Cheng Youjun and her.

However, Cheng Youjun was later kicked out, the script was scrapped and rewritten, and the original focus on the male lead was changed to a female lead.

Li Su, who was originally just playing a minor, foolish villain in the drama, unexpectedly became the female lead.

Du Xinyue, who lost the female lead, was naturally furious and filled with resentment.

It's laughable that someone with terrible acting skills and who has never played a lead role can become a lead actor.

Li Su scoffed, "Don't actors all start from supporting roles and climb up step by step? If we're really talking about it, you've played quite a few leading roles, so your acting skills should be much better than mine, who has only played minor supporting roles."

"But I heard that you can't even act a crying scene properly. You can cry for a long time without shedding a single tear and need eye drops to save you. With your laughable, amateurish skills, how dare you complain and accuse others?"
