Luosang paused briefly. Zhong Yi, who was laughing sweetly in that manâs arms, turned her head slightly and saw Luosang. She hurriedly covered her face with her purse, and the look on her face changed.
âAh, Mr. Nian, itâs been so long. Xia City is a huge city, yet weâve still come across each other!â The eyes of the man whose arms were around Zhong Yi glowed when he spotted Nian Junting. He shambled toward Nian Junting to shake his hand eagerly.
âHi, Mr. Miao,â Nian Junting responded blandly.
Luosang turned to look at Zhong Yi. It had only been less than two months since they had last seen each other back in An City, but she almost failed to recognize her. Now, Zhong Yiâs lips were terribly red, and her face looked sallow and thin. She blinked quickly without daring to look at Luosang.
âWhy are you hiding your face? Get over here to greet Mr. Nian!â Mr. Miao slapped her head, as she wasnât looking at Nian Junting.
âGood to see you, Mr. Nian.â Zhong Yi bit her lip and endured the embarrassment to come over and greet Nian Junting.
Nian Junting looked at her and said, âYou look familiar.â
âSheâs Zhong Yi. She used to be a popular star.â Mr. Miao laughed. âNow sheâs mine.â
Hearing that, Zhong Yi lowered her head further and clenched her fists.
Nian Junting was surprised. He had seen Zhong Yi before. She had stolen Yi Jingxi from Luosang and put Luosang in a miserable situation. Earlier on, Luosang punished Zhong Yi by herself. He hadnât really paid attention to Zhong Yiâs appearance at the time, so if Mr. Miao hadnât mentioned her name, he wouldnât have been able to recognize her. She had changed drastically. Before, she was rather pretty, but now, she looked like a meretricious prostitute.
âMr. Nian, are you here to have dinner with your girlfriend? Your girlfriend is so pretty. Sheâs clearly a young lady from a respectable family,â said Mr. Miao.
âSheâs Xu Luosang. There were rumors about her all over the city earlier,â Zhong Yi couldnât help but say in a low voice.
Nian Juntingâs expression changed slightly. âMr. Miao, your woman is quite talkative.â
âYes, she is. Iâll give her a lesson for you.â Mr. Miao turned back and slapped Zhong Yi in the face. Zhong Yi fell directly to the ground, and a few drops of blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth.
Luosang frowned when looking at her. She hated Zhong Yiâs so much, but now she actually felt pity for her, so she couldnât help but take a step forward to help her up. However, Zhong Yi slapped her arm away, saying, âGo away! Stop pretending. Youâre the reason why I became like this.â
âHow dare you yell at Mr. Nianâs girlfriend!â Mr. Miao turned around and kicked Zhong Yi. At that moment, no other sounds but a womanâs cries could be heard in the hallways.
Nian Junting wasnât comfortable with that. He knitted his brows and said, âEnough. How can a man hit a woman?â
âAlright, as Mr. Nian interceded for you, Iâll let you get away with this easily,â Mr. Miao straightened his suit while talking.
âJunting, letâs go.â Luosang couldnât bear watching that, so she held Nian Juntingâs hand and headed downstairs.
Feng Cheng followed behind them, saying, âIâm surprised that Zhong Yi has become like this. Last year when we saw her, she didnât even bother to look at us. She used to be a voice actor, too. Ah, now sheâs become like this.â
Mr. Tang responded, âI think she deserves it. She never respected us directors when she was popular, because she had Yi Jingxiâs support. She charged the most but worked the least. And she was always late. If the Yi Group hadnât been interfering, these things would have spread long ago. Last year, she parted ways with the Yi Group, and since then, Yi Jingxi has been trying to bring her down crazily. I heard that sheâs even using drugs now.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
