Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Director Sun, Remember What You Promised Me
Ou Linlin exhaled a puff of smoke, the corners of her lips slightly upturned, her bright eyes suffused with a faint smile.
“Director Sun, our Ye Shu is a bit crude—if she has angered your friend, that would be unfortunate. How about this, I’ll go and apologize to your friend on her behalf, how does that sound?”
“You want to replace her? Do you think that’s appropriate?”
Sun Nanjue, upon hearing Ou Linlin’s enthusiastic offer of apology, was quite moved, though he couldn’t quite place the feeling—he just really felt like accepting her proposal.
Ou Linlin’s expression changed subtly. Despite her high acting skills, she inevitably struggled to maintain her composure in front of the man she liked.
The more she felt that way, the more enchantingly she smiled, her eyes sparkling as if wearing colored contacts, “Whether it’s appropriate or not is just a matter for you to decide, isn’t it, Director Sun?”
Ou Linlin chuckled softly, her radiant smile twinkling like stars, seeping into the deep pools of Sun Nanjue’s eyes.
Sun Nanjue felt somewhat taken aback, staring fixedly at Ou Linlin, a confusion of emotions welling up inside him.
Ye Shu could hardly bear to watch, her fingers tightly clenched together, moisture swirling in her eyes.
At this point, how could she continue to involve Ou Linlin in her troubles?
She should bear the consequences of her own actions.
She and Sheng Shaochen were contract spouses, after all; it was just a matter of lowering her head and admitting her mistake—no big deal.
But for Ou Linlin, it was different; she came from a poor family background and had to work part-time during her student days to complete her education.
She studied business administration, but in her third year, she had to follow a man over fifty to save her brother. After that, the man signed her over to Yaoguang Entertainment for a full ten years.
Thinking about these things, Ye Shu’s nose felt sour.
It was because of Ye Shu that the old man had gotten to know Ou Linlin in the first place.
Many times, Ye Shu felt guilty towards Ou Linlin.
Ou Linlin’s past was quite complicated, but that didn’t mean she was without the right to pursue love.
If Ou Linlin were to lose even the last shred of her dignity in front of the man she liked, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow for her.
Ye Shu adjusted her casual clothes and spoke in a clear, cold voice, “Director Sun, remember what you promised me!” Then, she pushed the door open and entered.
Ou Linlin froze in place, the cigarette between her fingers trembling—a bit of ash fell, burning her palm, but she hardly felt it.
She watched as Ye Shu reached for the curtain, wanting to call her back, but her throat felt as though it were stuffed with cotton, unable to make a sound.
A single tear rolled uncontrollably down her cheek.
Perhaps, as Ye Xinyu had said, this was fate.
The current Ye Shu was no longer the city’s most renowned top socialite she once was; stripped of all her glamour, she became just like Ou Linlin, both trapped by circumstances beyond their control.
“What are you crying for? Inside is Jin City’s number one heartthrob, Sheng Shaochen—you should be happy for your little assistant.”
“Sheng Shaochen?” The so-called extreme gynophobe diamond bachelor? Ou Linlin’s mouth fell open in shock, fear written all over her eyes.
But all her emotions were scrambled by Sun Nanjue.
Sun Nanjue brazenly pulled her along as they left Shuian Blue Bay.
