    Guan Meiyi’s heart was unprecedentedly unsettled. She knew that Ling Tianya was a rational person and would not lose her rational judgment just because of someone’s tears or surrender.


    “Why are you apologizing to me?” After a while, Ling Tianya finally opened her mouth.


    Guan Meiyi maintained a humbled posture. “Because my mother...”


    “I asked, why are you the person who is apologizing?” Ling Tianya stepped forward and lifted Guan Meiyi’s half-bent body.


    Guan Meiyi was stunned. What was the difference between her apology and her mother’s apology?


    Taking in Guan Meiyi’s confusion, Ling Tianya sat down on the sofa. “Cousin, whether you believe it or not, I have not done anything to intentionally hurt you since I came back to China. Even though there have been plenty of altercations between us, I was never the one who provoked the conflict.”


    Guan Meiyi paused to think back on the things that had happened after she saw Ling Tianya for the first time after she came back.


    Like most people, Guan Meiyi first saw Ling Tianya at Madam Ling’s 80th birthday party. It was when Guan Meiyi and Ling Tianya had their first altercation, and the whole thing was because Guan Meiyi mistakenly took credit for the Buddha statue in front of everyone. When Ling Tianya showed up, the truth pped her in the face and humiliated her publicly.


    From that moment on, she had held a grudge against Ling Tianya. Later when they were shooting the TV show, Guan Meiyi was convinced that Ling Tianya was targeting her by asking her to audition using the toughest scene and making her look bad.


    After that, when she was so excited about getting married to Ruan Zeyan, he chose Ling Tianya instead. That made her aughing stock in the public eye. She became a piece of gossip that everyone loved to talk about after dinner.


    Looking at Guan Meiyi’s wheels turning, Ling Tianya knew that she had a lot on her mind. Ling Tianya was not in a hurry, picking up some fruit from the table, she started snacking. “Maybe you think that I was picking on you during the production, but in fact, I was not targeting you, I was targeting the female lead of the show. Every word that I said, every decision I made, waspletely out of consideration for the TV series without any personal grievances. If you were not the female lead of the show, I would have still made those same decisions.”


    Guan Meiyi lowered her eyes. Although she had dropped out of the show, when the production of Hunting Allure was runched, she still secretly followed the news. Photos of the new female lead Yi Tian were all over the Inte. From the stage photos, one could see that Yi Tian had cut her long hair and wore the short hairdo requested by Ling Tianya. Ling Tianya also asked that of Guan Meiyi in the beginning, and she thought Ling Tianya was picking on her on purpose.


    The reality was that Yi Tian did not hesitate to cut her long hair. She looked less feminine with short hair, but tougher and more heroic, which was closer to the image of the heroine.


    There was also an audition video of Yi Tian on the Inte. The scene in the video was the one that Ling Tianya had asked her to do during the audition. The scene that she had a hard time doing right. At that time, she thought Ling Tianya was targeting her.


    Lo and behold, the scene that she couldn’t do was handled by Yi Tian easily and was full of pure emotions.


    At her grandmother’s 80th birthday, Ling Tianya was obviously targeting Qu Wan. If Guan Meiyi didn’t take credit for the gift that she didn’t buy at the time, she would not have drawn the fire to herself.
