Chapter 200 - I have my ways (2/2)
Suddenly she was pulled out from her thoughts when Li Roulan pulled her hand tightly. ”Ouch!! Roulan what are you doing? It's paining, leave my hand.”
”Oh! Sorry, Xuimin. I was just a little excited. You have the invitation to the fashion show right. Then I'll go with you.” Li Roulan declared excitedly.
Meng Xuimin wanted to make up an excuse and deny Li Roulan but then thinking about her problem, for which she came here in the first place, she paused. Scratching her neck she said, ”But I am not going to the fashion show.”
”Oh really!!! That's great.” Li Roulan exclaimed happily but when she looked at Meng Xuimin's sullen face she immediately controlled herself and tried to explain, ”I-I…. I mean if you are not going anyways then you could give me your invitation card. I can go instead of you.”
Meng Xuimin shrugged, ”The card has my name on it. You won't be allowed inside even if I give you my card.”
”Is that so,” Li Roulan sighed and then asked instead, ”Then why are you not going to the fashion show? Every damn celebrity and famous people are going to be there. Are you unwell?”
”Have you not seen the latest news?” Meng Xuimin asked, ”Have you not heard about that new singer Ming Yu? Because of her, my career is going to go in a downward spiral. Li Xiaolu is writing songs for her and taking her revenge from me, from us. What am I supposed to do when my career is on stake? Go and enjoy a damn fashion show!”
Li Roulan laughed poking Meng Xuimin's forehead, ”You are worried about this. You are such a scaredy-cat Xuimin. Just relax and chill!”
Meng Xuimin rolled her eyes, ”That's easy for you to say that. I am scared, Roulan. I don't want to lose my top position.”
Li Roulan patted Meng Xuimin's back and assured her, ”Calm down. You are my only friend, Xuimin. Do you really think that I would let that Li Xiaolu walk all over us? Huh! In her dreams. Who does she think she is? You don't have to worry about this. I have got it all planned.”
”You do?” Meng Xuimin asked in surprise.
Li Roulan smirked nodding her head. ”That woman, Ming Yu will not be in the industry for long. Do you know that Ming Yu was a bar singer and she is a single unmarried woman with a 3-year-old kid.”
”WHAT?”
”Just think what would happen when this juicy secret would be exposed. Will the media leave her? Can the people accept a woman with such a character?” Li Roulan asked with an evil smile on her face.
Meng Xuimin shook her head. People can never accept this kind of woman to be their idol. Even though the entertainment industry has a bad side, there are people doing shady things and there are people who have shady and dirty secrets, it is a place where only the people who can keep their secret a secret can stay.
Though you might not have done something bad, a single bad rumor can leave a black mark on you and can destroy a person's career.
Every person working in the entertainment industry knew of this fact and hence they were very careful in every move that they take.
”Wait a minute! Everybody still didn't know about Ming Yu's identity. How did you know about all of this?”
Li Roulan winked, ”I have my ways.”
”Now you don't have to worry about anything. So can we go to the fashion show now?” Li Roulan asked.
Meng Xuimin nodded with a smile, ”Let's go.”
