The other girls with her were also snickering and flattering her. “That’s right. Back then, before Bai Yun came, Ge Fei tried so hard to curry favor with our Sister Lin Qu, but she didn’t even give him the time of day. Only Bai Yun will pick up what our Sister Lin Qu didn’t want.”

Hearing this name, realization dawned on Du Qing. She lowered her voice and introduced the situation to Bai Yun. “Lin Qu is a popular artiste under Sister Yin, but many of her resources were originally yours, Sister Yun. Sister Yin gave them all to her.”

Bai Yun sneered in response. She crossed her arms and continued to listen to their discussion.

“I heard from the video that Ge Fei hasn’t slept with Bai Yun yet. Tsk tsk, this deal is really a loss for him.”

Lin Qu snorted with laughter. “He only said that he didn’t get to sleep with her. It’s hard to say if anyone else did or if she climbed into someone else’s bed.” The sarcasm was unmistakable.

“That’s right. If I were Bai Yun, I’d announce my withdrawal from the industry. How can I still have the face to stay in the industry if I’m so stupid?”

“That’s a pity. No matter how stupid I am, I’m still more popular than the few of you.” Bai Yun opened the door of the cubicle and walked to the sink. As she washed her hands, she slowly raised her eyes to look at the group of people in the mirror.

Bai Yun sized up the group of them through the mirror. The person in the middle was tall, voluptuous, and had average looks by the entertainment industry standards. She should be the Lin Qu that Du Qing had mentioned.

“Lin Qu, right?” Bai Yun turned off the tap. Her hands were wet, but she was in no hurry to wipe them.

Instead, she turned around and walked towards Lin Qu. To begin with, she was taller than ordinary girls. At this moment, in high heels, she was clearly half a head taller than Lin Qu.

Bai Yun raised her hands at Lin Qu. Shocked by her different aura today, the latter subconsciously took half a step back.

Bai Yun let out a low laugh and flicked the water droplets on Lin Qu’s face. “What are you afraid of? I won’t hit you. I won’t do something as immoral as hitting a woman.”

She spoke lightly, but Lin Qu’s face turned red from her actions and nonchalance. She screamed, “Bai Yun! I just got my makeup done! Apologize to me!”

Bai Yun leaned against the sink, the cold marble light making her look even fairer. She looked casually at the small team who were looking at each other. “Apologize? For what? For hearing others curse and speculate about me when I was just using the bathroom? Or for not having slept around as you say?”

Lin Qu was shocked by her questions. Bai Yun, who was usually meek and easily bullied by anyone, suddenly exuded such a different aura that she was rendered speechless for a moment.

She was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. After shouting “Slut!” a few times in a quivering voice, she quickly stabilized her voice and retorted angrily, “Am I wrong? Who knows if a slut like you actually did that? Haven’t you heard that flies don’t bite seamless eggs? Why don’t you reflect on yourself?”

Instead of getting mad, Bai Yun smiled, revealing her canine teeth. She swiped open her phone and opened the interface where she was talking to Yin Wei. “Sister Yin, you heard it too. Your artistes are spreading rumors about their batchmate like this. One of them even repeatedly used the word ‘slut’. Look, this acting training class did nothing for her cultivation.”

The air in the room was silent. Still smiling, Bai Yun’s gaze landed on the pale-faced Lin Qu who didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. “Sister Yin, what do you think we should do now? I don’t mind telling President Li or the media about this.”

On the other end, Yin Wei immediately exclaimed “Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!”. The next moment, she appeared in the washroom. Even though she had rushed over, she did not manage to cover Lin Qu’s mouth!

When the others saw that even Yin Wei had rushed over, they lowered their heads to avoid her gaze.

Yin Wei smiled and tugged at Bai Yun. “Bai Yun, since we’re all from the same company, live and let live. I’ll get Lin Qu to apologize to you. Let this matter rest, okay?”

Lin Qu’s eyes widened in disbelief as she shouted in grievance, “Sister Yin!”

“Shut up!” Yin Wei snapped. It was obvious that she was furious.

With Bai Yun at her peak right now, they couldn’t have picked a worse time to cause trouble. Not only was the president of the company paying attention, netizens outside were also watching her keenly. What good would it do to provoke Bai Yun at this time?

Moreover, Bai Yun’s momentum was just right. If managed well during this period, they would probably have a lot of resources. When that happened, wouldn’t they be the ones to benefit?
