Ye Ning initially didn’t care much, whether she was the lead here didn’t make much difference.

She just wondered how come Mu Xiaoxiao managed to book the big theater.

In the evening, Su Momo said it seemed very difficult to reserve.

Because it’s under the Mu Family, it’s very large, and many shows and concerts are held there.

Some evening parties are also hosted there.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt quite embarrassed, while the teacher glanced at Ye Ning. Seeing that Ye Ning seemed indifferent and uninvolved, he said to everyone, "Alright then, let’s go with the public opinion and decide on Xiaoxiao."

Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head, glancing provocatively, and said, "That’s not good, Ning, you’re my senior, it should be you."

Chen Bin gave Ye Ning a sideways glance and said, "Xiaoxiao, everybody chose you, showing you have potential. And Ning, you’re a senior now, surely you wouldn’t stoop to fighting for the lead role with us juniors, right? Even though you haven’t played a lead in quite a while."

His tone was very arrogant, as if suggesting that since Ye Ning returned, she hadn’t shot any TV dramas or played any lead roles, not that she’d return here to compete for the lead role.

Ye Ning shrugged and said, "Whatever, if that’s the public opinion then."

Chen Bin smiled smugly and went back to tell the class, "See, Ye Ning wouldn’t dare offend Mu Xiaoxiao. I said she’d back down, after all, Xiaoxiao is from the Mu Family."

Although everyone thought Ye Ning was backing down, there was nothing they could do.

After all, this is a very hierarchical world.

Meanwhile, Ye Ning had nothing to do with the play, she was only performing a minor role.

Ye Ning wasn’t planning to compete anyway, or else, as a star who had played many roles, fighting with students for roles would have made her a target.

Unexpectedly, even when Ye Ning didn’t take the role, people still talked.

Some people took the opportunity to brag about Mu Xiaoxiao’s family background online.

Directly online, "The celebrity even Ye Ning doesn’t dare offend—Mu Xiaoxiao."

It stated that Mu Xiaoxiao’s background is well-known, as a unique figure in the entertainment circle, her lofty family gives her a special status, making people hesitant to provoke Ye Ning. She has always been assertive, and her Tian Group is intimidating. Yet, recently in reality shows, she has been deferential to Mu Xiaoxiao, showing Mu Xiaoxiao’s status in the circle...

Such words indeed sparked a lot of speculation, especially among netizens unaware of the truth, suddenly feeling that Mu Xiaoxiao was really impressive. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Mu Xiaoxiao’s fans also flaunted online for a while, proudly celebrating their family’s socialite status.

Zhang Zhiyou was also furious, and while preparing for the next day’s filming with Ye Ning at school, he said, "She’s truly something, managing to pull you into everything for publicity."

Ye Ning said nonchalantly, "It shows I’m popular, doesn’t it?"

Zhang Zhiyou looked at this carefree artist.

"Alright, alright, have a good rest tonight..."

"Okay, someone’s coming to find me later, I need to go out for a while."

"? Who’s coming to see you?"

Zhang Zhiyou was completely asking rhetorically.

At this point, Ye Ning’s phone rang.

Zhang Zhiyou’s face turned dark.
