Chapter 255: Does ‘Soft Rice [15. Soft rice is used to refer to men who live off women instead of working for a living.]' Taste Nice?

Yan Jianming behaved all high and mighty, waiting for Lin Xiaojuan to beg. He was feeling really great, and he was sure that Lin Xiaojuan loved him. He believed that she would not change and would definitely do as he said. It was just that she was angry now.
Even if he were with other men, this silly woman would still do anything for him.
He always thought so.
“Yan Jianming, if you’re so good, why would you need me to help you get any role? Speak to Director Leng yourself.” Lin Xiaojuan rejected his offer instantly. She had long been numb from the pain, and her heart had turned cold. She no longer seemed to care.
She was too foolish for putting herself through all the self-torture in the past eight months. She could not see clearly.
Yan Jianming got angry from the shame. “Lin Xiaojuan, Gu Xie was also going to be on that show. We had nothing against each other. Yet, why is he now attacking me? Taking away my resources and ruining my future. You must have gotten Tong Hua to mess around and speak untruthfully around Gu Xie. Otherwise, why would he attack me? Since you are the one who caused the problem, it is only right that you are held fully responsible.”
“I have nothing with Gu Xie. Do you think Gu Xie would be against you over what Tong Hua says?” Lin Xiaojuan sneered and stared at him. “Don’t make me the scapegoat just because you can’t remember when you offended him.”
“Lin Xiaojuan, stop quibbling. You did it. If you don’t get the role from Director Leng back, the Lu Family will ensure that you won’t be able to survive in Brilliant Entertainment. Oh, no. I mean in the entire entertainment industry. Your baby godson Tong Hua will also lose his reputation. Just you wait.”
Lin Xiaojuan shook in anger. Yan Jianming’s words could no longer hurt her, but she was angry that Yan Jianming had used Tong Hua against her. Qianshu, Tong Hua, and she had no connections nor resources, and they had started from the bottom together. They worked hard to live an interesting life, yet their lives could be overturned the moment this person said a sentence. No one would be willing to go through all of that indignity and rage.
“Yan Jianming, does ‘soft rice’ taste nice?” Shen Qianshu’s voice sounded pleasant as usual, but it was as if there was chilly snow hidden in there. It was chilling.
Yan Jianming looked clearly displeased as if someone had hit him on his soft spot. “Shen Qianshu, shut up. You are the one who stirred all of this trouble up. If you had not done so, we would not even be in such a state.”
He really hated Shen Qianshu. The problem between him and Lin Xiaojuan had been maintained for almost a year. Lin Xiaojuan could not leave him, and she had been bearing with him. He needed Lin Xiaojuan to be his backup plan, so he occasionally gave her some benefits, such as saying some sugary words to her for his survival.
He never thought that Shen Qianshu would step into their matters and even beat him up. Since then, the relationship between Lin Xiaojuan and Yan Jianming was thoroughly ruined.
He had seen through all of this long ago. In Lin Xiaojuan’s heart, he was behind Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua. If people held the three of them at gunpoint, she would definitely save either Tong Hua or Shen Qianshu.
If it were not for Shen Qianshu, he would not have to lay his cards on the table, and Gu Xie would not have insulted him or made him lose his face.
Who knew what nonsense they had said in front of Gu Xie.
Yan Jianming felt that Shen Qianshu was to blame for all of that.
“Yes, I’m driving a wedge between all of you. So what?” Shen Qianshu stared at him coldly. He was really despicable. Both she and Xiaojuan had not seen his true colors all these past years. Were they blind? Or were they just too busy.?
“Shen Qianshu, you…”
“Brother Ming, don’t be angry. Daddy won’t let her off,” Lu Mengyun said confidently. She disliked Shen Qianshu too. She disliked ladies who were prettier than her, such as Lin Xiaojuan and Shen Qianshu.
