Li Meili wasn't the only one busy preparing for the final selection and awarding ceremony of the competition. In fact, Liu Ruoyan was already panicking, wondering if she would be able to secure her win for this year. With the Black Nightingale casting a dark shadow over her name, many people were expecting that she would lose to Li Meili eventually. 

As if she would allow such a thing to happen! However what irritated her most was the fact that Xing Yiyue had come to her, demanding to give her the spotlight on the stage. She wanted to use this chance to make a comeback in the entertainment industry. 

"Damn that s.l.u.t! How dare she threaten me? Has she forgotten who'd given her the opportunity to enter show business? Did she forget that it was I, Liu Ruoyan, who opened doors to improve Xing Yiyue's life?"

"Calm down, Miss," her assistant tried to placate her. "Miss Xing only said she only needs one shot to prove herself." 

Liu Ruoyan scoffed at that. The chance Xing Yiyue was asking from her wasn't an easy one. With the actress's reputation continuing to plummet in the past months, who would believe that she could make a comeback by showing up. What's more? With Yiyue's muddied reputation, there was a bigger chance she'd cause Liu Ruoyan trouble. 

"And you believe her? What if that one shot she was asking for would also mean the end of the road for me? I'm not willing to fall along with her!" 

Liu Ruoyan still hadn't forgotten that Xing Yiyue was the one who had ruined her chances to be with Feng Tianyi, that's why she was still annoyed every time Xing Yiyue's name was mentioned. The Madam Feng, the mistress of the Song Business Empire now should have been her and not Tang Moyu. To think that Xing Yiyue also had the audacity to threaten her to reveal her secrets in public pissed her the most. 

She really underestimated Xing Yiyue this time. Who would have thought that the gentle and soft-spoken young madam was now reduced to a shameless leech, riding on her coattails to get what she wanted. She had really fallen so low and decided to get rid of her white lotus mask.

Losing Feng Tianhua and her position in society, Xing Yiyue had become desperate and dangerous, Liu Ruoyan was aware since she came to her. She'd been lucky that her family was able to protect her when the scandal about the group of young women seducing wealthy bachelors had come into light. But having Xing Yiyue so close to her right now, Liu Ruoyan was afraid that the latter would implicate her this time. 

Xing Yiyue was aware of her previous underhanded tricks to win the competition. She also knew how she used the girls in the fake socialite group to influence other wealthy families through their connections. If those weren't bad enough, Xing Yiyue's erratic behavior and brazenness told her that those secrets would be revealed if something happened to her so Liu Ruoyan couldn't do anything to harm her either.

Liu Ruoyan then realized it was too late for her to discard this woman for good.  Even if she was desperate to ruin Li Meili's win this time, she had no other choice but to yield to Xing Yiyue's demands. 

Ha. Did this stupid wench really think that she would be able to make a comeback by using her? Liu Ruoyan sneered inwardly.

Since Xing Yiiyue came knocking on her door, she brought her nothing but trouble. The former Madam Feng was now trying to leech off of her— shamelessly asking her things she needed for her temporary stay here in Beijing. 

"Miss, do you really want to allow Miss Xing to model your entry? I thought we already decided to use Miss Yan instead," her assistant asked Liu Ruoyan. Miss Yan was the best newcomer model this year and they already made preparations even before Xing Yiyue arrived. 

"Even if I want to, do you really think Xing Yiyue would leave me alone? That bitch has changed, I could tell. " Liu Ruoyan snapped back in annoyance. She couldn't wait for the day she could kick Xing Yiyue out of her property. Xing Yiyue was playing with fire if she thought she would be able to manipulate her for long. 

"Better see to it that she wouldn't make us a laughingstock with her appearance," she reminded her assistant. Even if she had to put up with Xing Yiyue's demands for now, she still refused to have her reputation tarnished and be embarrassed in public.

Xing Yiyue's face was still valuable anyway. Even if she and Feng Tianhua had already parted ways, there were still people within the industry who would want her back. Well… aside from those perverted ones who'd been trying to convince her to try doing a.d.u.l.t movies. 

If the Black Nightingale wasn't a Li heiress, it would have been easier for Liu Ruoyan to harass the other designer and force her to withdraw from the competition. Alas, the Liu family could not afford to offend the higher and more influential Li family. What's more, Li Meili ended up marrying Zhang Jiren's months ago. 

Just thinking about how Tang Moyu and Li Meili managed to turn the tables against her was enough for Liu Ruoyan to want to ruin the Black Nightingale. Li Meili was thinking highly of herself! Did she think just because Tang Moyu and Zhang Jiren were supporting her, she would be able to defeat her in the game? She must be deluding herself! 

Liu Ruoyan watched as her assistant left her office before she allowed herself to curse out loud, pulling out a pack of cigarettes from her top drawer. By this time, she should have been home. But since Xing Yiyue had invaded her private space, she didn't want to return home until she was sure that the wench had left her place for good.
