Chapter 1278 - 1278 Reminder

1278 Reminder

When Du Wei heard Xia Qinghuan’s words, she couldn’t help but smile at her. Then, she asked softly, “Aren’t you and Jian Yiyi classmates? Do you know her very well?”

“Because you said so yourself that you don’t like her very much. When one hates another, it’s mostly because one understands something about the other party.”

“Is Jian Yiyi also so harmless in school?”

“Do I know her?” Xia Qinghuan widened her eyes slightly. In the next second, she shook her head and denied it. “Sister Du Wei, you’re flattering me. I can only say that I can tell that the side Jian Yiyi revealed in front of others is the side behind her disguise. But if you want me to understand the real her, I really don’t know! I’m not interested and can’t understand!”

“Jian Yiyi’s acting skills can fool most people except me. Moreover, she maintains this attitude at all times. It’s as if it’s integrated into her blood. Sometimes, I wonder if she can still distinguish the smile on her face when it’s real and when it’s fake.”

“Sister Du Wei, don’t you think such a person is especially terrifying?”

Du Wei smiled at Xia Qinghuan with a meaningful gaze. She neither agreed nor refuted Xia Qinghuan’s words.

Xia Qinghuan thought of what Jian Yiyi had done to Lin Yi in school and couldn’t help but sigh slowly. “She was exposed in school once, but this matter didn’t seem to affect her at all. Not long after, everyone turned their attention to something else. I’m afraid everyone has long forgotten about Jian Yiyi’s matter back then.”

“This matter seems very magical to me. Everyone is extremely tolerant of people like her. Is it because she’s good-looking?”

Du Wei smiled and chuckled indifferently. Then, she looked at Xia Qinghuan and sighed. “Qinghuan, I know you’re a very real person. Be it to yourself or to others, you’re revealing yourself.”

“But I have to say that everyone has the right to choose how to face this world and society. Being good at pretending is not a derogatory term.”

“Of course, I can’t say that it’s a compliment. I can only say that this is a relatively neutral definition. How to differentiate between pros and cons depends on the environment the person in disguise needs to face and the people around him!”

When Xia Qinghuan heard this, she looked a little confused and conflicted. She vaguely understood what Du Wei meant, but she didn’t seem to understand or completely agree.

Xia Qinghuan said, “But I think sincerity is the way to treat people. Honesty is the foundation of a person. If a person lives in this world with a mask, it’s completely meaningless because the living person in everyone’s eyes is not him, but another person he created under his disguise. Perhaps even he doesn’t know who that person is.”

“Think about it. He created another person to live for him. This is too terrifying!”

“I agree with your point of view.” Du Wei nodded in affirmation but explained, “This is also what I just said. How to differentiate between pros and cons depends on the environment the person in disguise needs to face and the people around him!”

“Let’s use Jian Yiyi as an example. As you said, if she’s just an ordinary fifteen-year-old high school student with a rich family background and outstanding appearance, if she still pretends to be alive and wants to portray herself as the perfect girl in everyone’s eyes, there’s no need for that. The environment she lives in and the people around her don’t need her to disguise herself. If she insists on doing this, the pros and cons can be seen.”

Xia Qinghuan nodded as if she gradually understood Du Wei’s meaning. What she meant was that there were some environments in society, and there were even more people with ulterior motives. When facing such a situation, pretending was a way to protect themselves. It could make them flawless and invulnerable!

It turned out that Xia Qinghuan’s understanding was right because Du Wei immediately said, “But if we put the general environment in the entertainment circle or other competitive environments with undercurrents, Jian Yiyi’s wrapped disguise is an extremely safe method. She will wrap her true self in the shell of her disguise to protect her true self from others.”

“Qinghuan, I’ve been in the entertainment circle for three years. In some sense, I can only be considered a newcomer in the entertainment circle, but the darkness and obscurity I’ve experienced and seen about this industry are definitely unimaginably terrifying.”

“This industry eats people without spitting out their bones. Some people became famous overnight, while others endured and hid. Tens of thousands of people still sought after some people yesterday, but tomorrow, they will become everyone’s target. Why are there news reports in entertainment magazines every day? Why are there all kinds of fresh news every day? That’s because in the entertainment circle, there will always be the next loser and victim.”

“No matter how thorough a person is, once they enter the entertainment circle, they can’t guarantee that they will always be safe. Some people even warn themselves to protect themselves at all times, but sometimes, they will be implicated by negative news for no reason.”

“Every entertainment reporter and paparazzi has countless pairs of eyes and dozens of brains with rich plots. If you don’t pay attention to a slip of the tongue or even a vague action, they can write a golden scriptwriter-like scandal and story in a day. Even if they can’t destroy you, they will skin you alive!”

“Therefore, in the entertainment circle, people like Jian Yiyi will be relatively safer and easier to win the favor of the audience and even entertainment reporters.”

At this point, Du Wei couldn’t help but raise her hand and place it on Xia Qinghuan’s shoulder. Looking at her clear and even stubborn eyes, Du Wei said sincerely, “Qinghuan, although we haven’t known each other for long, I like you very much. In real life, I’m also willing to be friends with someone like you and continue to hang out with you.”

“But there are some things that Sister Wei still has to tell you. It’s not considered advice, but a reminder as an experienced person!”

Xia Qinghuan felt Du Wei’s sincerity and nodded gently. “Sister Wei, tell me!”

Du Wei paused for a moment and took a deep breath. Then, she slowly said, “Your starting point is so high. As a newcomer, you’re only in your teens. Your father is a big shot in the domestic entertainment industry, and his background is so powerful.”
