Chapter 383: Chapter 384: A Well-Designed Play
“Xia Yangyang said, “She is Gu Mingzhu, Director Zhang, I just want to know, what was the relationship between Gu Mingzhu and Tan Zhen twenty years ago? Was there any news about them in the entertainment industry?”
Director Zhang frowned, seemingly trying hard to recall something.
Then he said, “If I remember correctly, they had a great relationship. They were like sisters in the entertainment industry. However, for some unknown reason, they had a fallout. Gu Mingzhu went abroad for a few years and your mother got married and left the industry. I don’t know anything about what happened afterwards, after all, so many years have passed.”
Xia Yangyang’s heart felt heavy like a stone had dropped into it.
Indeed, Gu Mingzhu and her mother were close friends back in the day.
But Gu Mingzhu claimed that she had never heard of this name.
There must be some big secret in all of this.
Xia Yangyang asked a few more questions.
However, Director Zhang was evasive.
He seemed not too willing to talk more.
Xia Yangyang was preoccupied the whole day.
Xia Yangyang planned to go see Xia Weiwei and clarify things.
Xia Weiwei couldn’t stand Shen Manbing’s abdication of the role.
Unexpectedly, the director didn’t even try to retain her, and didn’t say a single word of consolation.
She was sulking in the dressing room.
In anger, she threw all of Shen Manbing’s belongings from the vanity onto the floor and stomped on them.
Xia Yangyang walked in on this scene.
“Xia Weiwei, conducting such deeds in secret, isn’t this too petty of you?”
Xia Weiwei looked up, startled at first.
But seeing Xia Yangyang, her expression changed instantly.
Xia Weiwei became furious, “I’m petty? Aren’t you and Shen Manbing also petty? Xia Yangyang, you and Shen Manbing have forced me to leave the crew. The role I had fought hard for was ruined by you both. But it doesn’t matter. Xia Yangyang, if I’m not doing well, don’t expect to get off easily either.”
Xia Yangyang’s voice was ice-cold, “If you don’t stir up trouble in the crew and do such despicable things, no one would intentionally make things difficult for you. You brought this on yourself, you can’t blame others.”
Xia Weiwei was in a rage, “Did you come here deliberately to gloat at my low point?”
Only then did Xia Yangyang speak, “I don’t care what happens to you. I just want to know, what exactly do you know about Gu Mingzhu and my mother?”
Xia Weiwei started to laugh all of a sudden, “Xia Yangyang, knowing that your husband’s biological sister is the one who murdered your mother, it must feel terrible, right? If it were me, I would’ve divorced Qi Chen long ago. Xia Yangyang, you wouldn’t be so attached to your status as Mrs. Gu and her wealth that you’ve even forgotten how your mother died, would you?”
Xia Yangyang frowned, “I will find out the truth. However, you must clarify the facts you know. You said that both of them became enemies over a man. Who was that man?”
“How would I know who it was?” Xia Weiwei was deliberately trying to provoke her.
Xia Yangyang coldly responded, “Since you and Aunt Liu have planned this big drama together, waiting for me and Qi Chen to turn against each other and remove me from Mrs. Gu’s position, how could you not find out everything? Otherwise, how could you instigate and hit the mark in one stroke?”
Xia Yangyang’s words were clear and calm.
Xia Weiwei was momentarily taken aback.
She didn’t expect her intentions to be seen through.
But seeing through it didn’t matter.
As it concerns the death of Xia Yangyang’s mother, even if Xia Yangyang knew this was a trap, she would definitely jump into it without hesitation..
