"Do you want to surpass Yan Jinyi and stop living in her shadows?"

Zhuang Lijuan got straight to the point and asked.

​​

Despite feeling bewildered, Yao Xin soon smiled and said, "Why would I want to surpass Sister Jinyi? I like her a lot."

Staring disdainfully at Yao Xin who was lying through her teeth, Zhuang Lijuan gibed, "I know you hate being treated as her shadow. I'll be frank with you, I hate her very much. As long as you work with me, I can help you kick Yan Jinyi out of the entertainment industry completely."

After a moment of silence, Yao Xin stopped pretending and admitted, "Yes, I think it's unfair that I'm treated as her substitute. Who are they to say that I resemble her? She's inferior to me in terms of education level and she's older than me too. How am I worse than her?"

As she spoke, Yao Xin took out a cigarette from her bag and lit it up.

Zhuang Lijuan watched and thought, 'Yao Xin is not that great after all. She pretends to be a pure and innocent girl who doesn't see the evil that exists in this world. Yet, she's smoking here. What a stark contrast from her goody-two-shoes image.

"It seems that you do detest Yan Jinyi." Zhuang Lijuan paused and asked with glistening eyes, "Miss Yao, why don't you use your personal advantage to deal with Yan Jinyi?"

'Advantage?'

"What advantage?"

Zhuang Lijuan took out an actress engagement contract for a movie and pushed it towards Yan Jinyi. "Miss Yao, your side profile resembles Yan Jinyi's greatly and since you were young, you've been a good girl in the eyes of everyone but Yan Jinyi is different. If you mess around with others, people will just mistake you for her."

Everyone knew that Yan Jinyi was pretty arrogant and sharp-tongued.

Yao Xin stared at the contract was already tempted when she saw the name of the director stated on it.

It turned out to be a movie that is directed by a renowned Hollywood film director.

Her gaze suddenly turned sinister. 'Yes, I've only made my debut recently and everyone still thinks of me a has a hardworking, goody-two-shoes type of girl. If I commit any mistakes, I can just push the blame to Yan Jinyi.'

"I agree."

—

Yan Jinyi sneezed several times today.

She took out a piece of tissue paper and wiped her nose with it while staring at the surrounding snow. "I'm covered in pretty thick clothing."

Zhao Xinchen brought a cup of tea to her especially fawningly and said, "Sister Jinyi, the weather is chilly today. Go home and get some rest, leave the things here to me. I promise that the final results of the construction will be exactly identical to the blueprint."

Yan Jinyi looked at the skeleton of the building in front of her and said, "This is the place that I'm going to use for rearing... I mean, training my underlings in the future. I have to supervise the construction personally."

Zhao Xinchen nodded. In fact, he was quite baffled.

He couldn't understand why she would choose to build a house here instead of living comfortably in the large and luxurious villa.

Not only was it far from the city, but there was also the base camp of the Huo family escort team at the top of the mountain.

They were a bunch of burly and boorish men, and there wasn't a single woman around.

"Sister Jinyi, that seaside villa of mine is quite large, there is also a yard of more than two hundred square feet. There's enough space for you to train your underlings. Most importantly, I have a yacht that you can use. If not..."

Yan Jinyi put her hands on her waist and barked fiercely, "Cut the crap. Have you ever seen a bandit leader living near the sea? I'm not a pirate!"

'Bandit leader?'

Zhao Xinchen took a look at the blueprint and secretly swallowed some saliva. 'So is Sister Jinyi trying to take over the mountain as king?'

"Sister Jinyi, we are now living in a civilized society and you'll go to jail for being a bandit. Money is difficult to earn but if you need money, I can definitely afford to provide for you."

"Get lost."

Yan Jinyi kicked Zhao Xinchen in the calf. 'I love society and helping others so much, why would I get thrown to jail? He must be joking!'

'Once the construction of Black Cloud Fortress is completed, I'll create a membership tear. Once Tang Qing and the other people like him join take up a membership each, the other heirs will follow suit.'
