Wenwen opened her mouth in disbelief, "Sister Xin, are you really leaving now? You can't! The director is already very dissatisfied with you today. If you leave, the director definitely won't let you continue filming."
This play was something Dong Xin Yan fought hard to get, and it holds special meaning for her. If it were really lost , she would be heartbroken.
Dong Xin Yan knew all too well the consequences of leaving now, but compared to Ziyang, everything else could only be temporarily set aside.
"You help me tell the director for now, and I'll properly explain it to him later. I'm leaving first."
After hastily giving instructions, Dong Xin Yan couldn't say anything else and quickly left, leaving Wenwen behind in distress.
The filming location was outside the city, and returning took at least two hours. Dong Xin Yan tried to speed up as much as possible. Fortunately, it was already nighttime, and there weren't many cars on the road. Dong Xin Yan had a smooth drive, taking only an hour and a half to reach the Dynasty entrance.
Parking the car, Dong Xin Yan ran into the Dynasty in her high heels, all the way to the top floor's presidential suite door. She raised her hand and knocked forcefully.
"Gu Ningyi, open the door! Open the door for me!"
After knocking until her hand ached, the solid, luxurious door finally opened slowly.
Gu Ningyi, dressed in a white bathrobe, stood there with a straight posture. He lazily glanced at her, the corner of his mouth curling with a mischievous smile, his voice lazy yet teasing, "Oh, not bad, quite fast."
Dong Xin Yan, exhausted from running all the way, was now infuriated by his teasing and just wanted to punch him. But the main point wasn't this; it was...
Dong Xin Yan stepped in, standing directly in front of Gu Ningyi, her large, beautiful eyes widened. She looked up at him and demanded, "Gu Ningyi, what does the text message you sent me mean?"
Gu Ningyi seemed completely unconcerned about her tone and instead crossed his arms, the smile on his lips deepening, "Why? Didn't you recognize the words? You had to come all the way here to ask me?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelFɪre.net
Illiterate? Who's illiterate?
Dong Xin Yan glared at him fiercely, "I mean, you clearly promised me you'd let Ziyang go after three months, and now you want to imprison him?"
The document Gu Ningyi sent her earlier clearly stated that he would accuse Ziyang of intentional injury, making him go to jail.
"I did promise you." Gu Ningyi didn't refute in the slightest, even nodding.
"Then why did you..."
"But have you forgotten what condition I gave you when I promised?" Gu Ningyi lazily added this sentence, his voice still so languid, devoid of any emotion, "Since you broke the agreement first, how can you blame me for not keeping my promise? Don't you think so?"
Dong Xin Yan's questioning words instantly got stuck in her throat.
Gu Ningyi's dark eyes lowered slightly, looking at her fiery gaze, his smile deepened, "I've just been thinking about how long to put Cheng Ziyang in prison. He always likes to go against me, and you know, I'm a very resentful person!"
These four words hit Dong Xin Yan's head hard, and the rage-filled chest of hers instantly deflated like a pricked balloon.
Gu Ningyi wasn't just very resentful—he was downright vindictive, right?
Otherwise, why would he have kept targeting her for so many years? Tripping her up in every way?
And now, she was no longer the person she used to be, who could defy him recklessly...
