Xia Yangyang fell silent for a while.
Then she spoke up: “Tomorrow, the media will announce what happened between us today at the film and television festival as a script of a show. Your sudden announcement of exiting the industry won’t just be a slap in my face, it will stir up even more turmoil. Even if I jumped into the Yellow River, it wouldn’t clear my name. So, the first thing, you are not allowed to quit show business. Everything should remain the same.”
Shen Manbing was stupefied.
Xia Yangyang turned her head to Shen Shichuan and said: “I’ve planned to sign with Time, but now that all these scandals are out about you, Time is finished, and so is my future. Therefore, this matter should not be exposed.”
Shen Shichuan silently looked at Xia Yangyang.
“Third, since I originally hit your car and you falsely accused me of extortion, please give me back my two thousand yuan.”
Shen Shichuan was taken aback: “Yangyang, you…?”
Xia Yangyang feigned arrogance: “Okay, I’ve said what I wanted to say. Acting all these days has tired me out. I need to go back and rest first”.
So, Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen left.
Only Shen Shichuan and Shen Manbing were left in the entire venue.
Gu Qichen’s car was parked outside.
After Xia Yangyang got into the car, she reclined in the seat, feeling extremely tired.
However, she felt like a weight had been lifted off her chest.
Gu Qichen extended his hand and gently patted Xia Yangyang’s face, and with a light smile praised: “Good acting skills”.
Xia Yangyang tugged at the corner of her mouth, saying:
Xia Yangyang recalled when she was on stage, tumbling into the abyss.
Gu Qichen had said at the time, “You’ve really disappointed me.”
That ice-cold disappointed gaze, a voice devoid of warmth.
Although she knew that it was all fake, at that time, Xia Yangyang’s heart had felt like it was being pricked with needles.
Seeing Xia Yangyang’s tired look, Gu Qichen felt a little distressed: “I told you to let me handle it, but you insisted on playing this game, tiring yourself out .”
Xia Yangyang sighed: “My real intention wasn’t to catch Shen Shichuan, the mastermind behind it all. I had suspected him for a long time. I actually wanted Shen Manbing to see this with her own eyes, or else no matter what I explained, she wouldn’t believe me.”
“So putting on this act with Shen Manbing wasn’t for Shen Shichuan to see, but you actually teamed up with me to put on a show for Shen Manbing? Since when has she become so important in your eyes?”
Xia Yangyang was startled: “Has she?”
“How else would you go to such lengths, moreover, this process is practically digging your own grave. Have you considered what if it all goes wrong, or if Shen Manbing betrays you midway and takes the opportunity to push you down?”
“She wouldn’t do that.” Xia Yangyang replied.
“How do you know that?”
“I don’t know. Just intuition.”
In fact, Xia Yangyang didn’t sympathize with Shen Manbing, but there was that one time at the hospital when Shen Manbing was humiliated by Luo Meixin and had to bite the bullet and endure it, Xia Yangyang saw herself.
For years in that household, wasn’t she in a similar situation?
Liu Ruyan appeared to treat her well on the surface, but was always trying to create a rift between her and her father.
And they had both lost their beloved ones when they were young.
In some ways, Xia Yangyang could relate, she never wanted to make an enemy of people like her.
Gu Qichen started the car: “But, forgiving Shen Shichuan so easily, are you really okay with it? He did so many things to sabotage you”
“I believe he won’t do it again, Shen Shichuan is smart and Shen Manbing will never allow him to do these things again. Shen Manbing is his only weakness. I have no doubts. Moreover, they both owe me a favor now, and I probably can do as I please at Time.”
Speaking of which, Gu Qichen was strangely annoyed: “That Shen Shichuan, I treated him like a brother and he wanted to marry my wife, I won’t let him off so easily, I will give him a good beating when I get the chance..”
