Chapter 799: Chapter 800: Just a Discarded Woman from a Wealthy Family
Because Lin Yuanyuan understood clearly.
If things continued this way, with Gu Qichen supporting Xia Yangyang, she might really end up taking her place one day.
What threatened her most was that Xia Yangyang was indeed quite capable.
But so what? An arrogant talent, looking down on others, just a woman abandoned by a wealthy family, she didn’t take her seriously.
After Xia Yangyang left the hall.
She went to the parking lot.
She had originally planned to leave with Gu Qichen.
But she didn’t expect to run into Zhang Xinyi and Gu Qichen talking in the parking lot.
Zhang Xinyi was like a child: “Brother Gu, I am really happy today. I won the Best Actress award. I can still work in this industry. I’m not a worthless vase, am I?”
A comforting smile appeared on Gu Qichen’s face.
“Of course you’re not, you are great. I’m happy to personally present you this award and witness your growth and the fruits of your labor.”
Zhang Xinyi laughed like a child: “Actually, your affirmation is more important than anyone else’s. I have achieved what I have today because of your support and help. Whenever I’m at a low point, you’ve always been there to pull me up. I am really grateful to you.”
Gu Qichen patted Zhang Xinyi on the shoulder: “Silly girl, I’m your brother.”
Upon hearing the word “brother”, Zhang Xinyi’s expression seemed to slightly waver.
A bitterness seeping deep from her eyes.
Xia Yangyang was standing right across from Zhang Xinyi.
Looking clearly at everything.
But Zhang Xinyi’s line of sight was blocked by a pillar.
She couldn’t see Xia Yangyang at all.
Suddenly, Zhang Xinyi spoke up: “Brother Gu, I saw Miss Xia today. She was the one who interviewed me.”
Gu Qichen’s voice was calm: “How did it go? Was the interview smooth?”
Zhang Xinyi nodded: “Very smooth. Miss Xia is very nice. All the questions she asked were about my strengths. But I didn’t get a chance to talk to her more.”
Gu Qichen said: “There will be opportunities. I will introduce you to her.”
Zhang Xinyi looked at Gu Qichen with quite a sorrowful gaze.
Xia Yangyang’s gaze fell on her fingers that were clenching and releasing again and again.
In the end, Zhang Xinyi seemed to have gathered all her courage.
Zhang Xinyi asked: “Brother Gu, can I hug you? Just once, is that okay?”
Zhang Xinyi’s voice sounded like a child’s plea.
It seemed that no man could refuse Zhang Xinyi when she was .
Sure enough, Gu Qichen gently embraced her.
Zhang Xinyi rested her head on Gu Qichen’s shoulder.
She did it cautiously.
But Xia Yangyang saw two lines of tears slide down the corners of Zhang Xinyi’s eyes.
It was heartbreaking to watch her.
The depression and attachment that seeped out from within seemed to be strangling Xia Yangyang.
At that moment, Xia Yangyang understood clearly.
No matter what feelings Gu Qichen held for Zhang Xinyi.
But Zhang Xinyi, for her, it was definitely love that surpassed attachment.
It was hard for Xia Yangyang to watch from afar.
It wasn’t their embrace that bothered Xia Yangyang.
Hugging is nothing more than a courtesy overseas.
What stabbed her was Zhang Xinyi’s feelings for Gu Qichen.
For a moment, Xia Yangyang felt a bit chaotic inside.
Actually, it wasn’t a surprise.
Despite Gu Qichen telling her that he saw Zhang Xinyi as nothing more than a sister to take care of.
But without blood ties, which woman could resist Gu Qichen’s gentleness?
In the past, not even Shen Manbing was able to….
