My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Her expression was calm, but Estelle felt more indignant on her behalf than anyone else, “But you prepared seriously for this movie, took notes, and even squeezed time out of sleep to find acting teachers and learn your lines. You didn’t put any less effort than anyone else. Why doesn’t he let you attend the premiere?”

Rong Yan was truly composed, her beautiful eyes calmly looking at her as she said, “That’s just how this circle is, whoever has the capability has the say. In his eyes, I’m just a third-tier little star, and he’s a big director; he doesn’t need to give me face. If he slaps my face and I don’t catch it well, it means I don’t understand the rules, I lack insight.”

“But you…” Estelle, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, of course, understood all of this. Her anger wasn’t born of ignorance.

Rong Yan knew what she was upset about and became even more composed, “I am dating Li Shengxiao, and indeed, the Li Group was the major investor in this film. But, I haven’t planned to publicize now that my boyfriend is Li Shengxiao, so there will always be people in the circle who don’t know. Those who don’t know will not look at my so-called connections; they only look at me as a person.”

“In Director Gao’s eyes, Rong Weiwei holds a higher status than I do, backed by HuanYu, and she is the legitimate girlfriend of HuanYu’s young owner. On the other hand, I am just a newcomer who’s recently ridden a wave of media popularity with a new song release, without much actual achievement. If I were him, I’d also stand on Rong Weiwei’s side, not giving face to a little star who seems to have no background or accomplishments.”

She spoke frankly, as bluntly as an observer would, and Estelle, initially filled with rage, found herself at a loss for words after her transparent and straightforward analysis.

Seeing Estelle’s heavy expression, Rong Yan’s eyebrows smoothed out, and she patted her shoulder encouragingly, “Don’t worry, one doesn’t stay in the same place forever. And I won’t always be like this, either! One day, we will earn respect through our own merits. I believe I can do it!”

She had been living too comfortably and easily relying on Li Shengxiao lately. Although she hadn’t let Li Shengxiao overtly help her with anything, just being by his side allowed her to bask in his light.

Comfort and ease for too long had almost muddled her own perception.

Let today’s incident serve as a reminder to her; she had to strive and strive even harder, otherwise in others’ eyes, she would be someone who could be bullied at will.

Respect is something one earns for oneself. She had said she wanted to raise Little Baby, so she had to demonstrate her ability.

Estelle let out a heavy breath, not so concerned about the incident anymore. Instead, she pressed Rong Yan’s hand and said helplessly, “Forget it, don’t be too hard on yourself. In the last half a year, you’ve hardly taken a day off. You’ve endured all sorts of slander and mudslinging, yet you persevered under the pressure of public opinion to compete, record new songs, and take on movie roles. I know you’re not someone who just stands still, I’m just afraid you’re overexerting yourself to the point of neglecting your own health.”

Rong Yan had her period this week, but she didn’t rest for a single day, filling her schedule to the brink with back-to-back commitments. She sure was pushing herself!

“You’ve only made a comeback for over half a year. However fast you want to go, you need to take it step by step. You can’t eat a fat man in one bite. I believe you will change everyone’s opinion. But you also need to take care of your health. The most important thing in a long battle is physical strength. Health is the capital of revolution!”
