Luosang paused briefly. Zhong Yi, who was laughing sweetly in that man’s arms, turned her head slightly and saw Luosang. She hurriedly covered her face with her purse, and the look on her face changed.
“Ah, Mr. Nian, it’s been so long. Xia City is a huge city, yet we’ve still come across each other!” The eyes of the man whose arms were around Zhong Yi glowed when he spotted Nian Junting. He shambled toward Nian Junting to shake his hand eagerly.
“Hi, Mr. Miao,” Nian Junting responded blandly.
Luosang turned to look at Zhong Yi. It had only been less than two months since they had last seen each other back in An City, but she almost failed to recognize her. Now, Zhong Yi’s lips were terribly red, and her face looked sallow and thin. She blinked quickly without daring to look at Luosang.
“Why are you hiding your face? Get over here to greet Mr. Nian!” Mr. Miao slapped her head, as she wasn’t looking at Nian Junting.
“Good to see you, Mr. Nian.” Zhong Yi bit her lip and endured the embarrassment to come over and greet Nian Junting.
Nian Junting looked at her and said, “You look familiar.”
“She’s Zhong Yi. She used to be a popular star.” Mr. Miao laughed. “Now she’s mine.”
Hearing that, Zhong Yi lowered her head further and clenched her fists.
Nian Junting was surprised. He had seen Zhong Yi before. She had stolen Yi Jingxi from Luosang and put Luosang in a miserable situation. Earlier on, Luosang punished Zhong Yi by herself. He hadn’t really paid attention to Zhong Yi’s appearance at the time, so if Mr. Miao hadn’t mentioned her name, he wouldn’t have been able to recognize her. She had changed drastically. Before, she was rather pretty, but now, she looked like a meretricious prostitute.
“Mr. Nian, are you here to have dinner with your girlfriend? Your girlfriend is so pretty. She’s clearly a young lady from a respectable family,” said Mr. Miao.
“She’s Xu Luosang. There were rumors about her all over the city earlier,” Zhong Yi couldn’t help but say in a low voice.
Nian Junting’s expression changed slightly. “Mr. Miao, your woman is quite talkative.”
“Yes, she is. I’ll give her a lesson for you.” Mr. Miao turned back and slapped Zhong Yi in the face. Zhong Yi fell directly to the ground, and a few drops of blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth.
Luosang frowned when looking at her. She hated Zhong Yi’s so much, but now she actually felt pity for her, so she couldn’t help but take a step forward to help her up. However, Zhong Yi slapped her arm away, saying, “Go away! Stop pretending. You’re the reason why I became like this.”
“How dare you yell at Mr. Nian’s girlfriend!” Mr. Miao turned around and kicked Zhong Yi. At that moment, no other sounds but a woman’s cries could be heard in the hallways.
Nian Junting wasn’t comfortable with that. He knitted his brows and said, “Enough. How can a man hit a woman?”
“Alright, as Mr. Nian interceded for you, I’ll let you get away with this easily,” Mr. Miao straightened his suit while talking.
“Junting, let’s go.” Luosang couldn’t bear watching that, so she held Nian Junting’s hand and headed downstairs.
Feng Cheng followed behind them, saying, “I’m surprised that Zhong Yi has become like this. Last year when we saw her, she didn’t even bother to look at us. She used to be a voice actor, too. Ah, now she’s become like this.”
Mr. Tang responded, “I think she deserves it. She never respected us directors when she was popular, because she had Yi Jingxi’s support. She charged the most but worked the least. And she was always late. If the Yi Group hadn’t been interfering, these things would have spread long ago. Last year, she parted ways with the Yi Group, and since then, Yi Jingxi has been trying to bring her down crazily. I heard that she’s even using drugs now.”
