Chapter 51: The Essence of Truth
Chapter 51: The True Drama King
Lin Qin froze momentarily when he heard Yi Ran’s comments. Not because Yi Ran’s words struck a chord—after all, Fang Minghui could be with whomever he wanted; Lin Qin genuinely wished Fang Minghui would stay as far away from his life as possible. It was Yi Ran’s audacity and sheer stupidity that left him astonished.
Holding onto a scumbag like he’s treasure and assuming everyone else sees that scumbag as treasure too—Lin Qin really couldn’t fathom how Yi Ran’s mind worked.
Still, Lin Qin maintained his composure. Well-mannered as he was, he refrained from laughing right in Yi Ran’s face and patiently explained, "No, I don’t see why I’d be jealous of you being with Fang Minghui."
To be fair, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable for Yi Ran to have such a notion. After all, in this circle, a small-time star hooking up with Fang Minghui essentially meant gaining access to preferential treatment and resources. Fang Minghui was generous to a fault; when he actually supported someone, he wouldn’t hesitate to pile good resources onto them.
Jin Feiyun became a well-known rising star in the industry precisely because she got involved with Fang Minghui when she first returned to the country. Fang Minghui had invested quite a lot of resources in her.
But Jin Feiyun was someone who aimed too high while being incapable of delivering. Coveting what wasn’t hers, her moment of glory proved fleeting. In the end, she was blacklisted by the entire entertainment industry and shelved by her agency.
Now, Yi Ran seemed to be following in the same footsteps?
No matter what Lin Qin said, Yi Ran stubbornly insisted Lin Qin had intentionally tripped him and demanded an apology.
Although Lin Qin suffered from social anxiety, he wasn’t stupid. At first, he thought Yi Ran had genuinely fallen by accident, but watching Yi Ran’s relentless behavior now made Lin Qin realize Yi Ran was deliberately trying to make him lose face.
