Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Chief · Stingy · Judge
“Don’t even think about it…”
“Or I can give you the card number!”
Before he could insult her, Ye Xian struck first.
“Why should I pay for the clothes you dirtied?”
Ye Xian hadn’t anticipated that he, the Crown Prince of the Bo Consortium, would be so miserly as to refuse to even cover this small laundry expense! It was just over ten thousand, hardly enough to buy a button on his clothing!
“Because I’m poor, okay? The living expenses from home are almost used up. My part in ‘Business World’ wasn’t big to begin with, and almost half my remuneration was docked by the agency. My current life is extremely difficult, utterly impoverished. Especially your laundry bill of over ten thousand, it just adds insult to injury in my already impoverished life.”
“Isn’t Ye Shaowen taking care of you?”
“…” Ye Xian choked up a bit, “He is, but my relationship with him is not what you imagine it to be in terms of money!”
“Send it over, then we’ll talk.”
Bo Tingshen hung up the phone with a cold tone.
While continuing to act her scenes, Ye Xian listened to the ‘beep… beep… beep…’
She was already vexed by the real-person CP fans on the internet, and now the CEO’s meddling had left her drained, the anxious feeling all but gone. Let it be.
Anyway, she was about to wrap up her scenes; once the drama ended, the CP fans’ dream should wake up, too.
Gu Chen’s last scene was set in the penultimate episode of the series, which Li Jiahua chose to shoot all in one day.
As the story neared its conclusion, the arch-villain, repeatedly defeated by the male lead and now wanted throughout the city, begins to become mentally deranged, planning to destroy both the male and female leads. After successfully kidnapping the male lead, the villain attempts to lure the female lead to the same fate.
However, the villain mistakenly sends the female lead’s phone number to Ning Xiner, the second female lead, informing her of the male lead’s kidnapping. The villain threatens to release the male lead only if she comes alone; if she dares to call the police, they’d immediately kill him!
Meanwhile, Gu Chen had been constantly sending WeChat messages to Ning Xiner, inviting her to a vacation in Hawaii.
After a period of sweet interaction, Ning Xiner had developed feelings for Gu Chen, but upon learning that her long-admired crush was in danger, she didn’t hesitate and immediately drove to the rescue.
Inside Gu Chen’s car, a bouquet of roses sat on the passenger seat, ready to welcome his beloved sister. Yet, when she rejected him and he reached to touch the flowers, intending to leave, he saw Ning Xiner hurry up from the underground parking lot, driving away rapidly without so much as a glance in his direction.
Where is my sister going in such a hurry?
Curiosity led him to follow her.
Ning Xiner drove towards the address of the kidnapping. Coming off the elevated road, her car was hit forcefully by another vehicle that the villain had prepared in advance.
In that instant, the bright red sports car toppled, the airbag deployed from the steering wheel, the hood smoked, and from the fuel tank, the sound of dripping oil ticked away.
The scene was like a sharp and fine needle suddenly piercing Gu Chen’s pupils.
The accident site was quickly surrounded by spectators, and on the periphery, a staggering figure charged towards it.
“Young man, what are you doing? You can’t go in there!”
“Yes, the fuel tank is leaking, it could catch fire any moment! If you go in, you could die!”
A group of people desperately tried to hold him back, but he pushed them all aside.
Seeing his eyes red, his body trembling, like a wild animal on the brink of despair, they were frightened and let go of him.
The moment Gu Chen rushed in, the car’s fuel tank exploded, and a fierce fire accompanied by thick smoke quickly engulfed the young man’s tall figure.
