Ye Qingqiu’s lips curled up even more and her red eyes made him unable to look away.

“Perhaps what I’ve lost is not enough for you, but I don’t have anyone to lose anymore. Perhaps if I go to jail for a few more years, will you remember that you were doing the same thing back then?”

Li Tingshen’s eyebrows twitched.

As if she had been stung by something, she suddenly let go of Ye Qingqiu.

The room fell silent.

The coldness and hostility in the room gradually dissipated.

Li Tingshen stood behind her and stared at the face in the mirror for a long time.

Perhaps he should say something now, but those red eyes made him unable to say a word.

It was as if no matter what he said, he was wrong.

The sudden ringing of the phone was like a lifeline to him.

She took out her phone. It was Gu Linxi, whom she had not contacted in a long time.

Gripping his phone tightly, he turned and walked out of the bedroom.

“I have something on. You… rest early.”

The door opened and closed. After the room fell silent for a long time, Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes and went silent for a while before slowly walking to the bed and sitting down.

Her hands were still trembling.

After some time, there was a knock on the door.

Her body tensed up and she wrapped herself with a thin blanket. She stared at the door silently.

A few seconds was enough to reduce one’s nerves to a thin thread.

“Miss Ye, your milk is ready.”

Ye Qingqiu relaxed again.

She didn’t respond, but the servant pushed the door open and entered.

He placed the milk on the bedside table beside her and quickly glanced at Ye Qingqiu.

“Miss Ye, Mr Li is going overseas on a business trip and won’t be back for the next few days. If you need anything, please let us know.”

After so long, Miss Ye actually didn’t take the initiative to ask them to do anything, including what to eat and drink. It had always been Mr Li who instructed them.

Now that Mr Li had left, they didn’t understand Miss Ye’s habits and preferences and could only let her instruct them.

Ye Qingqiu heaved a sigh of relief.

If she went overseas on a business trip, she wouldn’t be back anytime soon.

Indeed, she didn’t want to see him anytime soon.

Luxury Emperor Apartments.

It was one of the best places in Ping Cheng City. Only the rich could buy a house here.

But to some people, it could only be considered lowering their status.

To Ye Qingqiu, who had nothing and had just been released from prison, this was the best place for her to stay.

Li Tingshen was right. Not many people could afford to give her what he gave her.

However, she would rather not live here. She didn’t want anything from him.

After breakfast, Ye Qingqiu received a call from Pei Yaochi.

“Madam, I’m taking a day off. It’s not that I’m not acting anymore. When you bring me to the set, I’m afraid I’ll be fired by the director!”

Ye Qingqiu said nonchalantly, “What’s there to be afraid of? With your surname, who would dare to be rude to you?”

“This is the entertainment industry. I haven’t even done anything and I’m already rumored to be a big shot. How am I going to survive? Hurry up, I have to rush to the evening scene! Today is a martial arts scene. I have to go and watch it again!”

Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and put down her chopsticks. “I thought you were the most worry-free, but you’re the worst. Why is it so difficult to earn money?”

Pei Yaochi said, “…Why don’t you consider getting my brother to provide for you? That way, you can earn money faster!”

“Am I serving him mentally? If that’s the case, it’s not bad.”

That germaphobe wanted him to keep a woman?

It was probably not money but fate.

“You wish.”

Ye Qingqiu smiled lazily and said, “Alright, I’m going out.”

Pei Yaochi gritted her teeth in anger. “You haven’t gone out yet?! You…”

Without giving Pei Yaochi a chance to get hysterical, Ye Qingqiu hung up.

“I won’t be back these few days unless something unexpected happens.”

She said calmly before changing her shoes and leaving.

She thought that she could finally have a few days of peace, but when she saw Xiao Chu downstairs, her face suddenly turned cold.

“Miss Ye, CEO Li is on a business trip overseas. Let me serve you.”

Serve?

Ye Qingqiu laughed angrily. “Are you his personal assistant or his personal eunuch?”

Xiao Chu smiled awkwardly. “It’s mainly because CEO Li is concerned about you. Where are you going, Miss Ye? I’ll send you there.”

Seeing that Xiao Chu had opened the door, Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath.

“What if I say that I don’t need you to serve me?”

“That might not work.”

Ye Qingqiu sneered and got into the car.

After closing the car door, Xiao Chu exhaled and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead before getting into the car.

He picked Pei Yaochi up and went to the set.

After practicing the fighting scene with the martial arts director a few times, she waited for Liang Xuer, who was about to act with Pei Yaochi.

There were not many scenes in this scene. Even the supporting roles had been filmed over and over again. The director’s face was already filled with impatience, so the supporting roles naturally became his target to vent.

Ye Qingqiu sat at the side and shook her head as she watched Pei Yaochi’s sweaty face.

She was the daughter of a wealthy family, yet she had to suffer like this.

Taking out her phone to check her savings, she took a deep breath.

She wasn’t the one who needed money.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Liang Xuer finally arrived.

The moment she arrived, she bowed and apologized to everyone. “I’m sorry, everyone. I went to the airport to send someone off and there was a traffic jam. I’ll treat everyone to dinner tonight to apologize. Please don’t be angry…”

As she spoke, she pressed her palms together and looked at everyone apologetically.

That way, it would be too unreasonable for others to argue with her.

Moreover, she didn’t ask anyone to forgive her. She only told them not to make everyone angry.

In fact, it didn’t matter to her whether others forgave her or not.

In fact, no one would do anything to her.

Because behind her was Li Tingshen, the biggest investor of this drama.

Even if it delayed the progress, it would be a waste of Li Tingshen’s money.

Someone flattered, “Who is so important that our celebrity can send them to the airport personally?”

Liang Xuer smiled and glanced at Ye Qingqiu, who was sitting there with a straw in her mouth.

“It’s Tingshen. He’s on a business trip overseas and won’t be back for a few days.”

“Oh, no wonder.”

As the few of them cheered, someone’s gaze landed on Ye Qingqiu.

Three years was not enough for everyone to forget the eldest daughter of the Ye family, the little princess of Ping Cheng City, Ye Qingqiu.

What was her relationship with the current CEO Li?

Ye Qingqiu held her phone and was tortured by her savings. She was browsing through her contacts to find a spendthrift to spend at Mansion Number 8.

She didn’t know why everyone was looking at her.

Liang Xuer glanced at her and said, “Director, can we postpone the martial arts scene today? At this time today, the sun will probably have set by the time I’m done with my makeup. Can we act something else first?”

The director frowned and subconsciously looked at Pei Yaochi.

This girl had been practicing for the entire afternoon. If she didn’t act now…

She couldn’t afford to offend either party.

He shifted his gaze to Ye Qingqiu, intending to let her be the middleman.

Anyway, she was the one who disliked trouble the most. She couldn’t wait to end work early every day.
