âI donât have a choice, he said all those nasty things to ruin my reputation, to humiliate me. Think about it, if I wanted to gain popularity, I could have just made use of Nian Junting, heâs even more influential than Yi Jingxi. Do I really need to hanker with two men?â
âWhy is Yi Jingxi treating you this way?â Xiao Si narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
âHe says that my family owes it to him,â Luosang frowned and mulled for a moment, âIf you donât believe me, you can ask around within the entertainment industry. Yi Jingxi went around and told the crew members not to hire me as a voice actor, I havenât been able to find a project since Zhong Yi came to Xia City. All the directors here know about that.â
Xiao Si was starting to believe her.
If Yi Jingxi was really the perpetrator behind Luosangâs misfortune, he was indeed a despicable man. No matter what Luosangâs father did, Yi Jingxi had taken down the entire Xu corporation and found himself such a beautiful girlfriend. It should have been enough revenge, but he still wanted to drive his ex-fiancé up against a wall, what kind of vengeance did he harbor.
âWhy didnât you tell Tingting all this?â
Luosang chuckled apathetically, âI had to quit school and leave An City because of the vicious rumors about me. I grew tired of how heartless and cruel people were, I had enough of the judgmental looks they gave me, their avoidance of my presence. I was afraid, afraid that it would happen here again. I was scared that people would identify me as the daughter of a criminal, judge me along with my fatherâs crimes. I am only telling you my story now as I donât want you to think otherwise of me, itâs my painful past and it hurts me every time I recount it. It will be the greatest scar of my life, I just wanted to clear things up with you. Itâs up to you if you want to believe me or not.â
She turned to leave.
âDo you still love Yi Jingxi?â Xiao Si shouted.
âLove?â Luosang turned around incredulously, âHow is that possible?â
âThatâs good, if you canât forget about Yi Jingxi, then stay away from Tingting,â Xiao Si hesitated before speaking softly, âI was there tonight because Tingting said that he wanted to purchase a film production company. Heâs doing that for you, you know? He said that now that youâre his girlfriend, he has the responsibility to find you the best resources available regardless of whether youâre receptive of his help.â
Luosang looked at him in a daze, she felt her heart fluttering.
Nian Juntingâs handsome face appeared in her mind, she could picture him telling her that he would give her the best things in the world.
She thought that he didnât mean what he said, but he was already executing his promises to her behind her back.
Last night, she still turned him down like that.
âThe film that is on hold, Iâll settle it for you. Donât go looking for Yi Jingxi again,â Xiao Si turned to leave.
Luosang stood in the same spot for ages before taking the train back to school.
She was in a daze the entire train ride back to the school campus.
She didnât know whether to count that night as luck or misfortune, Xiao Si should be able to settle the issue as he promised, but she didnât know whether he would tell Nian Junting about what happened that night.
By the time she got back to the dormitory, it was already 9pm. She flung herself onto her bed before taking a shower.
The wine stain on her face had already dried up but the humiliation was stuck on her as she replayed the scene again and again in her mind.
Suddenly, her phone rang, it was a local number.
âHello, whoâs this...â
