"Investor? Do I need your investment?" Lu Ziyan was livid. Her previous life had been blind, letting Ye Bai star in her film and boosting his fame with her family's power.
If not for Ye Bai's deeds exposed later, she might have thought he was good.
"What do you mean, Lu Ziyan?" Ye Bai was angry. He just returned but found everyone he tried to court had great grievances against him.
From Xia Shihan to Xiao Yuxuan, even Hecate might betray him.
Now Lu Ziyan's attitude was strange—like they were enemies.
"No meaning. My movie isn't for you. This is my home. Leave!" Lu Ziyan didn't bother wasting words.
She was a reborn person and wouldn't tell anyone her secret.
"…." Lin Tai watched Lu Ziyan's fury, confused again.
She was overacting.
Though Ye Bai's face was heavily bandaged, he looked genuinely angry.
If Lin Tai didn't know they were the male lead and heroine, he might think they really hated each other.
Was it necessary to provoke Ye Bai so harshly?
Lin Tai was completely lost on their schemes.
"Lu Ziyan, you're doing this for that loser?" Ye Bai's gaze was fierce.
Every time Lin Tai appeared, these women acted like they hated him.
Xia Shihan, Xiao Yuxuan, and now Lu Ziyan!
Was Lin Tai cursed?
Ye Bai couldn't understand.
"…." Lin Tai watched their argument, initially happy to watch but annoyed to be dragged in.
This was his first time meeting Lu Ziyan since rebirth; she couldn't have fallen for him.
He knew it was impossible.
"Don't involve me in your female lead drama."
"He's a loser?" Lu Ziyan sneered.
"To me, he's a thousand, ten thousand times better than you!"
Though angry, Lu Ziyan meant it.
Lin Tai was so much better than Ye Bai, a petty villain.
"Ye Bai isn't even worthy to carry his shoes!"
"Alright, Lu Ziyan, don't regret this!" Ye Bai convulsed with rage; his healing wounds split open.
The white bandages were soon stained with blood; he looked horrific and passed out from blood loss.
"What are you waiting for? Throw him out! It's bad luck to die at home!" Lu Ziyan gave the cold order.
The bodyguards carried Ye Bai out and left him on the street with no one attending to him.
"…" Lin Tai watched in amazement.
The gentle-looking artsy young woman Lu Ziyan was surprisingly ruthless, tossing Ye Bai beside the road.
If no one found him, Ye Bai might bleed to death.
The Lu Family estate was in the suburbs, with little traffic.
Ye Bai was truly suffering.
Even now, Lin Tai couldn't understand Lu Ziyan's motives.
He remembered the plot was fine when he arrived—how did it turn into this?
Why were the heroines at odds?
Lin Tai was dumbfounded.
"Scared?" Lu Ziyan noticed Lin Tai was still nearby.
She regretted being so direct earlier.
She didn't want Lin Tai to think she was cruel.
She mainly hated Ye Bai.
She hated how Ye Bai tried to whitewash his image with her film but acted condescendingly—disgusting to her.
Compared to that, she liked Lin Tai's straightforwardness.
Angry when angry, happy when happy. She liked his simplicity.
"Scared? Not at all." Lin Tai waved off.
"So, do you really hate Ye Bai?"
He couldn't figure out why Lu Ziyan disliked Ye Bai so much.
That was important.
If his mission failed, he'd have no reason why.
"Not exactly hate, just find him pretentious." Lu Ziyan's mind was calculating.
This was only their second meeting; she couldn't say she hated him yet.
If others suspected, they might suspect she was reborn.
Still, she hated Ye Bai's affectation.
"He came to beg me but acted condescending, making me sick."
"Oh." Lin Tai nodded. Ye Bai was a proud, arrogant protagonist, indeed pretentious.
Lu Ziyan's dislike was understandable.
But this was a novel world—love through fighting, hate through cursing.
As long as Lu Ziyan didn't want Ye Bai dead, she'd eventually like him.
This restored Lin Tai's confidence.
