Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Saving Xiao Wen
“Impossible!” Xiao Wen, as stubborn as before, shook her head, “Mr. Ye, mind your own business. I’ll make my own decisions.”
She hugged her belongings and pulled open the door of the rest room.
Ye Xian sat back down in the makeup chair and continued to towel his hair dry, “Zhou Lu.”
No sooner had he spoken than Xiao Wen’s things clattered to the floor, and she turned her head in shock to look at him.
How could he know… her real name?
“Born in Fengpei County, Wenshui City, finished junior high school, started working in a film crew at 14, did miscellaneous jobs for two years before learning to become a celebrity assistant, has assisted several celebrities big and small, with Cheng Jingshu being the longest.”
“You investigated me?”
“Because I want you to expose the abuse Cheng Jingshu has inflicted on you.”
As she had suspected, he was just trying to use her!
After spending two years by Cheng Jingshu’s side, she was well aware of the rumors about their relationship.
Cheng Jingshu liked Jiang Wanze, and Ye Xian liked Jiang Wanze too. Even though they were of opposing genders, they were still romantic rivals.
So now Ye Xian wanted to use her to target Cheng Jingshu!
“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. Watch this video first.”
Ye Xian took out his phone and played the video sent by his elder brother for her to watch.
“Xiao Lu, Mr. Ye is a really good person. Not only did he pay off Grandma’s medical bills, but he also brought in the country’s best doctors to treat Grandma. She feels much better now and even gained some weight…”
Ye Xian: “Before you became Cheng Jing’s assistant, you already knew about her habit of abusing her assistants, but you still chose to take the job because Cheng Jing had leverage over you. She knew that your grandmother at home was suffering from diabetes and needed expensive medical care. She promised to make regular payments to the hospital, which is why you silently endured everything she did to you, including the abuse, and even calling you by the name of a previous assistant because she was too lazy to remember your own.”
“Grandma’s only concern is for you. You’re so meek by nature, you’ll be wronged out there. If you’re wronged, you must tell Grandma…”
Watching the video of her dearly beloved grandmother full of concern, Zhou Lu’s tears couldn’t help but fall on the screen.
Ye Xian had actually gone to the lengths of paying off her grandmother’s expensive medical bills and had specially arranged for doctors to treat her.
“Now that there’s someone else who can do all these things, why refuse? Also, you’ve been so wronged by Cheng Jing’s side. If Grandma knew about the scars you bear now, that they’re from earning money for her medical expenses…”
“Don’t tell Grandma!” Zhou Lu shook her head desperately, “I beg you, don’t tell my grandma. I—I agree with you, I can identify Cheng Jing, but I don’t have any concrete evidence on hand. Cheng Jing regularly checks my phone and computer and doesn’t allow me to keep any evidence.”
Ye Xian swiped his finger on the phone, and the next video was the one she had secretly recorded last time in the bathroom of Cheng Jing pinching her.
“I have it here, and I also have all the records of your hospital treatments from the past few years. They are all evidence. She can’t escape.”
“Really? That’s great.”
Zhou Lu wiped away her tears, filled with excitement. For years, she had suffered continuous beatings, threats, and intimidation from Cheng Jing without any outlet, like living in hellish pain. She had never thought there could be an escape.
Even though Ye Xian was also using her, she genuinely thanked him. She thanked him for treating her grandmother and for giving her the opportunity to escape from Cheng Jing.
