The male and female leads looked at each other with unnatural expressions, then each averted their gaze.
Shi Lan shook her head speechlessly, when she suddenly saw a message from Tang Ze, “Kong Lin is awake.”
Shi Lan, “Then the task of negotiation is yours.”
Tang Ze, “What if I mess it up…”
Shi Lan, “It doesn’t matter. Having Kong Lin’s support naturally increases the chances of success, but it’s also expected if we don’t have it.”
Even with Shi Lan’s reassurance, Tang Ze still lacked confidence and made a phone call to Yan Shixiu.
“President Yan, I need your assistance tomorrow morning.”
Shi Lan had laid all her cards on the table, and Uncle Yan knew everything. Since they were about to take down the powerful figure, as Shi Lan’s man, he naturally had to make an effort.
Kong Lin, under the manipulation of the young lady, had already been disgraced. He was just there to clean up the aftermath. That shouldn’t be considered interfering with the young lady’s plans, right?
“I will bring a team with me,” Yan Shixiu replied over the phone.
After hanging up with Tang Ze, Yan Shixiu checked the time; it was already 7:30 pm. The young lady had sent him a message about shooting on location, so she should be on her way to the set by now.
After thinking for a bit, Yan Shixiu replied to the young lady’s message, “What time will you be finished? Should I come pick you up? If it’s not convenient, never mind.”
Shi Lan, “Eleven o’clock.”
President Yan, “Shall I be there on time?”
Shi Lan, “You can arrive early.”
After reading the young lady’s reply, President Yan smiled happily, in a good mood. Just then, his assistant noticed the mottled traces at his Adam’s apple where the makeup had worn off and said, “President Yan, the inauguration ceremony is in two days, but you…”
“Hmm?” Yan Shixiu frowned, not understanding what he meant.
“That… the love bite, can it be removed?”
According to the assistant’s experience, the mark that was red would turn purple, then greenish-yellow. In that position, it would definitely be quite noticeable, and since it was summer, it wasn’t possible to cover it up with a turtleneck.
Yan Shixiu lifted his hand, brushing his fingertips over the spot on his neck, then said, “It’s not like I’ll be standing up there the whole day. I’ll just have the makeup artist cover it when the time comes.”
Assistant, “Still, I should remind Miss An to… be a bit more careful next time.”
Yan Shixiu glanced at the assistant, his voice dropping a few degrees colder, “Is that any of your concern?”
Can’t you see that Uncle Yan likes it?
…
After the events of the morning, Kong Lin was arranged to be treated at the Military District Hospital.
Luckily, the media were searching everywhere for her, but fortunately, the hospital’s confidentiality was very strict, and no news had leaked out.
Kong Lin’s injuries were not light. After Qu Chong vented his rage on her, not only was her face swollen and bruised, but several of her ribs were also broken.
The assistant and Kong Lin’s father stayed in the hospital room. Seeing that Kong Lin had awakened, they hastily called the medical staff to check her injuries.
“Kong Lin, are you alright?” the assistant asked anxiously.
Kong Lin’s body felt as if it had been run over by a truck, and she was unable to respond to the assistant, only managing to blink her eyes.
“You really scared me to death.”
“Qu… Qu…”
As if understanding what Kong Lin wanted to inquire about, the assistant quickly replied, “Don’t be scared, the police have already arrested those two brothers. We are in the Military District Hospital now, it’s safe here, you can rest assured.”
After hearing the assistant’s words, Kong Lin closed her eyes, relaxing her nerves.
After the beating by Qu Chong, Kong Lin’s mind was filled with the memory of Qu Chong’s fierce and frightening fat face.
Kong Lin’s father, seeing that his daughter had settled down, said, “I told you to come home, not to become a star. You wouldn’t listen, and now look what’s happened. You’ve gotten yourself into trouble and ended up disgraced. Xiaolin, what will you do in the future?”
Kong Lin also deeply regretted not listening to her parents’ advice.
“You still harm people, harm a girl who has no parents. After your mother and I watched the video of that child kneeling to save her brother, we couldn’t help feeling heartbroken. How could you bear to trouble such a child? It’s all my fault for not raising you well. Once you’re discharged, your mom and I will take you home and take good care of you.”
A moment of vanity led Kong Lin down this irreversible path, for she was too addicted to the sensation of being adored and surrounded by stars.
Now that her relationships with Wuchan and Qu Chong had been exposed, she finally reaped the consequences of her actions, ending up in a tragic state.
Just let it be… everything is ruined anyway.
She wanted to break her contract with the superstar.
…
Late at night, not far from the film and television city, amidst a bamboo forest, the crew of “Smoke” was still shooting the grand nighttime battle scenes, but Yan Shixiu’s car had already stopped at the exit of the set.
The bamboo forest was ablaze with fire, and the sound of gunfire and explosions was deafening. Once all had returned to silence, the extras started to leave one after another.
The staff began to clean up the scene, and the main actors also gradually emerged from the bamboo forest.
Yan always intended to avoid being seen, but it was difficult to park here, so his car was quite conspicuous.
When Director Tang left, he went out of his way to greet Yan Shixiu. Left with no choice, Yan had to get out of his car.
Director Tang was tired and left the set after arranging to have a meal together with Yan Shixiu.
At that moment, Yan Shixiu saw Shi Lan not far away, walking alongside Gu Chengyu.
So, he took out his phone and sent Shi Lan a message, “Shall I wait for you outside?”
Seeing the message, Shi Lan looked up and saw Yan Shixiu under the streetlight. She replied with two characters: “No need.”
Yan Shixiu put away his phone, about to get back in his car, when Shi Lan already called out to him, “Uncle.”
Yan Shixiu turned around only to see that Shi Lan hadn’t quickened her pace and was still walking side by side with Gu Chengyu.
Could it be…
“Why would Yan still come to such a place to visit the set this late?” Gu Chengyu asked, puzzled.
At that moment, Shi Lan explained, “He’s waiting for me.”
Gu Chengyu was instantly taken aback.
Chen Beini also looked at Shi Lan in surprise.
She wasn’t surprised by their relationship but was surprised that Shi Lan said it so openly. Could it be that she was no longer intending to hide it?
However, after those four words, it wasn’t over yet. Shi Lan followed up with an even more explosive statement.
“You guys go back to the hotel. I’m going to his apartment.”
It was dark and the road was slippery, and the staff were in a hurry to leave and rest, so nobody paid attention to their conversation.
Shi Lan was very straightforward. When she got to Yan Shixiu, she naturally wrapped her arm around his waist and said, “Let’s go.”
Yan Shixiu was stunned too, not expecting the young miss to be so bold today. Usually, she was quite reserved in revealing their relationship in front of others, but today, in front of Gu Chengyu and Chen Beini, she called him, hugged his waist, as if declaring her rights.
Seeing that Yan Shixiu was astonished, Shi Lan looked up and asked, “Aren’t you leaving?”
Yan Shixiu restrained his joy, wrapped an arm around Shi Lan’s shoulder, and led her to the car.
The entire process only took a few seconds and nearly no one saw it.
Gu Chengyu stood there stunned, unable to react for a moment.
Turning her head, Chen Beini said, “You wouldn’t, would you—spread the word about their relationship everywhere?”
Gu Chengyu withdrew his gaze from the car and looked at Chen Beini, “I’m not that person anymore. I can tell she really likes Yan.”
