Chapter 43

Jiang Sisi and Leng Xiang’s Feud Confirmed?

A long post on Weibo featured two photos. The shooting angle was extremely clever. The first photo captured the exact moment when Jiang Sisi turned her head to look at her while Leng Xiang turned away. The second was a long-distance tracking shot where the two were clearly separated by a group of people, looking like they were irreconcilable enemies who wouldn’t interact even until death.

Once the most beloved, now strangers on the road?

Jiang Sisi’s New Film’s Female Lead Acts Big, Feuds with Jiang Sisi

So what exactly did Jiang Sisi see in Leng Xiang back then?

“This whole thing is fishy. Didn’t Jiang Sisi repost Leng Xiang’s Weibo not long ago? The one where she broke character—it was pretty cute. I thought their relationship was good back then.”

“Yeah, I remember when Jiang Sisi said ‘Leng Xiang is my female lead,’ her tone was so gentle it made my heart race like a fawn bumping around. It didn’t even sound like she was talking about the movie’s female lead, more like announcing her girlfriend… And now, not even that much time has passed, and they’re feuding?”

“Jiang Sisi and Leng Xiang never got along well before, right? I remember digging into Leng Xiang’s movie and variety show participations, and there was a surprise. Guess what?”

“Upstairs, what’s with the cliffhanger? Spill it.”

“No pics, no truth. Don’t spout nonsense!”

“Chill, bro upstairs. Let’s hear what they have to say.”

“I know, I know! Leng Xiang was on Welcome to Star and got into an argument with Jiang Sisi on the spot.”

“????”

“!!!!!!!!”

“What?? Say that again??”

“My god, there’s such a thing?”

“Isn’t that a live broadcast mishap? If they argued? Jiang Sisi hasn’t had a live mishap in years?”

“Which episode? Point me there!!”

“When did this happen? How did I not know? I’m a seven-year veteran fan of WTS and haven’t missed a single episode!!”

“That was a long time ago…”

“I found that episode!! Took forever to dig up the resources!!”

“Share please!”

“Share +1”

“For resources, follow and DM for one-stop service~”

“emmmm I watched it, and the content was super explosive…”

“I haven’t seen it yet aaaaa!! Class rep, give us a summary!!”

“Not only did Leng Xiang argue with Jiang Sisi in that episode, she got so mad her face turned ashen, and the moment the live stream ended, she stormed off in a huff.”

“Agree with upstairs, and she acted really big-name too…”

“So the rumors of their feud are true???”

“But their Weibo interactions recently were so sweet, doesn’t seem like it…”

“Yeah, after all these years, who hasn’t had a reckless youth? Leng Xiang definitely wouldn’t battle Song Limo now…”

“In the entire entertainment industry, who dares to battle Song Limo? Isn’t that just courting death?”

“Oh yeah, it reminds me—the reason Leng Xiang and Jiang Sisi argued was actually over the goddess…”

“More like, as expected of Song Limo… She stirs up storms wherever she goes.”

“But I heard Song Limo took a role in Jiang Sisi’s crew…”

“What??? Goddess is making a comeback??? Real???”

“Tell me it’s true!! Mommy, the woman you love is finally back!!”

“Nah… It’s probably just a cameo. The goddess herself said she’d never do lead roles again.”

“Wuwuwu even a cameo is fine, I’ll screenshot and savor every single frame of the goddess!!”

“Ever since the goddess had her kid, I haven’t seen her in so long. I wonder if she’s doing well wuwuwu!!”

“Be happy!!!”

The Seven Emotions Forum and Weibo were abuzz. The topic shifted from “Are they really feuding?” to “Why are they feuding?” to “If they’re feuding, why did Jiang Sisi cast her as the female lead?” until they dug up that episode of Welcome to Star with Jiang Sisi and Leng Xiang. After one round of arguments, public opinion twisted and turned, circling back to Song Limo once more. Long-time diehard fans and new fans alike expressed blessings for the goddess and hopes for her return.

Weibo and forums had an ironclad rule: No matter who or what trended, as long as it had even a sliver of connection to Song Limo, the conversation would inevitably veer back to her.

Half a day later, Song Limo—who had zero relation to the matter—ended up on the hot search anyway. The title was #SongLimoStirsUpStorms#.

The entire crew watched the farce lively and enthusiastically. The moment the makeup artist saw Song Limo mentioned, she forgot the hot search was actually about Leng Xiang and Jiang Sisi. She grabbed Jiang Sisi’s hand and screamed wildly: “Limo is really coming to our crew?? Tell me it’s true! Tell me!!”

Jiang Sisi’s ears rang from the noise, and she yelled back at her: “It’s true!!!”

The makeup artist froze for three seconds on the spot, then burst into tears and ran off in circles.

“My goddess!!! Song Limo is coming!!! Oh my god!!!”

As for the Weibo headline about Jiang Sisi and Leng Xiang’s feud, it eventually fizzled out without resolution.

Jiang Sisi had no particular reaction to it. She was still filming and didn’t have the energy to deal with it. Rumors would fade on their own; clarifying now would only make it seem like a cover-up.

Besides, Leng Xiang was still mad at her, so in a way, the hot search wasn’t wrong.

Jiang Sisi tossed the matter to the PR department and didn’t bother with it anymore.

After finishing the afternoon’s scenes and rushing through the night shoot, the crew wrapped at midnight.

Leng Xiang rubbed her sore arms and legs. Her legs had started hurting that afternoon, and now the pain was impossible to ignore. She needed to get back, take a shower, and sleep well.

The crew dispersed in twos and threes toward the hotel. Pei Shuang walked with Leng Xiang and Wang Linlin. Somehow, Jiang Sisi and Tan Ya had sidled up next to Leng Xiang.

Jiang Sisi said: “Come up after your shower tonight.”

Leng Xiang glared at her: “Why should I go?!”

Jiang Sisi said: “To apply medicine.”

Leng Xiang: “…”

She had completely forgotten about it.

What had Jiang Sisi said yesterday before they argued?

The medicine had to be applied for at least two days, or it wouldn’t heal properly.

Leng Xiang’s pent-up frustration had nowhere to vent. We just fought yesterday, and now you want me to come upstairs? What about my pride?

Leng Xiang glared at her and said politely: “No need. My injury’s fine. Thanks for the offer.”

Jiang Sisi glanced at her calf with a half-smile, then looked up into her eyes and asked: “Really?”

Her condition that afternoon obviously couldn’t fool Jiang Sisi.

Leng Xiang: “…”

It was so infuriating!

Jiang Sisi said: “If you think it’s fine and don’t want medicine, that’s okay. But we’ve only rented this place for three months. If the crew drags an extra day because of you, it’ll be deducted from your remaining half of the pay.”

Leng Xiang: “…”

Leng Xiang pointed at the hotel entrance: “Get inside first, or I might not be able to stop myself from hitting you right here.”

Jiang Sisi went in with a grin.
