Chapter 87 - 87: Holding Sand

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although the results were not ideal, Tan Si’s depressed mood improved a lot when she heard this. “Send it to me first. Continue to keep an eye on them.”

“Okay, Miss Tan.”

Tan Si waited for the male voice on the phone to acknowledge before hanging up. Soon, she received a few photos through a text message on her phone.

In the photo, there was a photo of the two of them snatching the script. It was a little intimate, but this photo alone could not prove anything. However, with the use of wording, what did not exist could be talked about as if it did.

For those small newspapers and marketing accounts, the authenticity was not important. What was important was the click rate and volume of readers.

When Tan Si’s gaze swept over Yuan Shao, who was in a corner not far away, she suddenly thought of something. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before turning to Dong Ling. “Help me call Yuan Shao over.”

Dong Ling immediately obeyed.

Yuan Shao knew that Tan Si didn’t like him. Other than interacting with him when they were filming scenes, he usually knew his limits and hid far away. Now that he heard Tan Si call him, he was delighted. He knew that his chance to ease the conflict had come.

Yuan Shao ran towards Tan Si and smiled solicitously. “Sister Si.”

Tan Si leaned against the back of the chair and looked up at Yuan Shao. “I heard from you that you have a relative who works for Director Dong’s production team?”

Yuan Shao nodded. “My cousin is in charge of props in the production team.”

When Tan Si heard this, she looked at Yuan Shao. “Help me find out the results of Tan Ming’s audition for ‘Windward’.”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment. Director Dong’s production team had always been good at keeping secrets. If one didn’t have any reliable connections, they really wouldn’t be able to find anything out. This wasn’t a difficult task for him. Hence, he nodded again and replied with a smile, “Alright, I’ll tell you immediately after I find out.”

Tan Si nodded indifferently and waved at Yuan Shao as if he were a dog.

Yuan Shao turned around and left tactfully. When he walked to a dark place where the light couldn’t reach, his expression immediately darkened.

The same thing happened the next afternoon. Si Cheng also received the news, but also with the results of Tan Ming’s audition.

Ning Gang hid the fact that he found out that Tan Si had also sent people to follow Jiang Huai and Tan Ming. He only talked about the audition.

After Si Cheng heard this, there was a hint of anger on his face. “Why isn’t this woman staying at home and talcing care of the child? What is she doing all day?!”

Thinking about how Tan Ming had completely let herself go after giving birth, Si Cheng felt suffocated and panicky. In the past, his calmness stemmed from knowing that Tan Ming had nowhere to go after leaving the Si family. After all, she didn’t even have a trustworthy friend. She didn’t have money or friends, and she couldn’t even rely on her maiden family.

But now, not only did Tan Ming have a house to live in, but Jiang Huai also brought her into the entertainment industry to earn money. These signs made Si Cheng realize that only by thinking of a way to make Tan Ming return to the Si family could she become obedient.

Ning Gang was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Si Cheng, tell me honestly, do you still want a divorce now?”

Si Cheng was stunned for a moment and did not answer directly. “Is that important? The problem now is Tan Ming. She’s already married and has children, but she’s still so restless. Why is she in the entertainment industry? Why is she trying to turn the world upside down?!”

After spending more than ten years together, Ning Gang already got the answer he asked for when he saw Si Cheng’s reaction. “Si Cheng, you have to say it out loud when you like someone. If you blindly try to force the other party to compromise by breaking their wings, it will only make people feel disgusted. Do you still remember the story of holding sand with your hand?”

“The harder you grip it, the faster the sand will flow from your hand.”

When Si Cheng heard this, he fell silent.

There were some things that couldn’t be said, even by good friends. Ning Gang had said enough. If he continued, he was afraid that it would backfire. “I’ll go to work first. Call me if you need anything.”

Ning Gang finished speaking and left. Si Cheng looked at the green plants on his desk and fell into deep thought.

Si Cheng’s phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. When he saw Tan Si’s name on the phone screen, he frowned slightly and hung up.

Less than two seconds later, Tan Si called again. Si Cheng was annoyed and continued to hang up without thinking.

Soon, the ringing of the phone turned into the sound of a WeChat message.

Si Cheng only looked at WeChat after a while.

The first thing she saw was a photo of Tan Ming and Jiang Huai fooling around. His originally suppressed anger surged to the top of his head.

Immediately after the picture was a message from Tan Si..
