Shi Man had experienced two lifetimes and was used to such things. Her heart did not fluctuate at all.

On the other hand, Shi He was clearly uncomfortable. His body moved slightly and he took a step forward. Like a male wolf in charge of looking after the house, he gritted his teeth and stared at the man who was coveting his sister. “It’s your business to do whatever you want. Don’t harass my sister!”

Only then did the woman take the time to tear open her gaze that was stuck to Jiang Sheng’s face and slowly move toward Shi He.

The moment she saw Shi He’s face clearly, her eyes suddenly lit up. She reached out her hand droolingly and smiled ingratiatingly. “So it’s Xiao He. 1 actually only saw you now. You’re not angry with me, right?”

Shi He’s face turned pale when he was suddenly teased. His tone was cold and distant. “I don’t know you.”

“Then it’s not too late to get to know me now, right?” The woman handed her hand forward again and said with a smile, “I’m the head of the administrative department of the headquarters, Gu Yue. I personally reviewed and approved every one of your films.”

When the woman spoke, there was a hint of smugness in her eyes.

The reason why she dared to show off in front of the Shi family was not because she was blindly confident, but because she had a certain amount of capital.

Currently, all television dramas or movies that were about to be released in the country had to go through the General Administration’s review. Gu Yue was the last obstacle. Without her approval, no film could be broadcasted. Naturally, it could not be profitable.

The Shi family had a lot of connections, but not everyone could offend them easily.

Shi He had no choice but to give her some respect. He endured his disgust and immediately let go after shaking her hand.

Gu Yue was considered the person with the greatest status here. Naturally, she became the focus of everyone’s attention wherever she walked. Many people were watching her at the same time. Shi He could not show her his attitude in public.

Gu Yue’s vanity was greatly satisfied after using her identity to pressure another small celebrity into compromising. She became even more smug. She even turned her attention to Shi Man, who had been silent the entire time. She raised her head arrogantly and said, “This is?”

Her gaze kept wandering back and forth between Shi He and Shi Man, looking at Shi Man with hostility.

Shi Man stood up from behind Shi He expressionlessly, her expression extremely cold. “I’m his sister, Shi Man.”

Gu Yue had obviously heard of her name. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, and a fake smile hung on the corner of her mouth. “So this is the young and promising CEO Shi. I didn’t expect to see you here in person. I really didn’t make a mistake coming to the ball.”

Jiang Sheng finally got his wish of seeing Shi Man. He pinched the woman’s hand and kissed it. He praised her without hiding anything, “Baby, you’re really amazing. If not for you, I’m afraid it would be difficult for me to see CEO Shi.” “Oh? Do you want to see her? Why?” Gu Yue glared at him unhappily before pinching Jiang Sheng’s arm.

Jiang Sheng immediately put on an aggrieved expression and said coquettishly, “I’m just an old friend of hers. There’s no other relationship. Baby, what are you thinking?”

Gu Yue snorted and glanced at Shi Man from the corner of her eye. She sized her up and curled her lips indifferently. “She’s not that good-looking. Aren’t I prettier than her? Why aren’t you looking at me?”

Jiang Sheng hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her gently.

Shi He didn’t know whether to walk or not. He felt uncomfortable with the two of them.

Shi Man made a mental note of Jiang Sheng. She finally understood why Jiang Sheng insisted on being cold today. It turned out that he wanted to make enemies for her and her brother!

She wouldn’t be affected much if Gu Yue remembered her, but it might not be the case for her brother. After all, they were in the same circle.

Since Jiang Sheng had already schemed against her, Shi Man couldn’t be too polite to him.

Jiang Sheng clearly saw Shi Man’s silent expression and his eyes became even more smug. The fire had almost been lit today, and he was prepared to stop while he was ahead.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around to leave, Gu Yue actually grabbed his arm and refused to let him leave. She glared at Shi Man arrogantly and said, “1 don’t care what relationship you had with him in the past, but he won’t like you now. Give up!”

Shi Man pursed her lips speechlessly. She had no doubt that Gu Yue was a love-struck person. She actually couldn’t tell that Jiang Sheng was deliberately using her.

Jiang Sheng clearly didn’t expect Gu Yue to be so impatient, but he was happy to watch the show.

He had suffered such humiliation and coldness in the hospital last time. This time, he had to take revenge in public!

Shi Man sneered and took in their thoughts. Facing everyone’s gazes, she was neither servile nor overbearing as she said, “It’s really unlucky to be fancied by trash. I suggest you lock yourself up with this man who has slept with countless women and don’t let him come out to harm others.”

No one would have thought that someone would dare to publicly retort Gu Yue on such an occasion without giving her any respect.

Even Shi He was stunned. He hurriedly stopped his sister and said, “Manman, let’s not bicker with them. Let’s sit over there and rest for a while..”
