After a long silence, Song Ci said gently, “You don’t have to apologize. I don’t blame you. Also, I won’t be tempted by him. I’m very clear-headed.”
Upon hearing those words, Chu Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He really did not want to see a second Wei Yunxi. However, he was worried that Song Ci would regret her decisions.
“I hope you’re not sacrificing your career for me. He can truly provide you with opportunities. There’s just a price to pay.”
Song Ci appeared to be calm.
“Don’t worry. I’m young and beautiful. I don’t need to rely on an old man. It’s important to put yourself first before anything else.”
To be honest, Song Ci was a vain person. She willingly married Lu Gan because he was good-looking. Her thought process was, ‘I need to survive. Even if I don’t have feelings for him, at least I get to see his handsome face every day.’
Fu Wenze could literally be her father. She was not interested at all.
Song Ci said firmly, “I won’t depend on him.”
Chu Yi nodded.
“Regardless, don’t get into any conflicts with Fu Wenze. He’s still a senior in this industry. Just don’t be gentle and ladylike around him. I’m sure he’ll give up on you sooner or later.”
“…”
Song Ci was speechless. How troublesome. Nonetheless, she agreed.
‘Next time I see Fu Wenze, I’ll ask him to train with me! That’ll surely piss him off! I can’t believe this old pervert is wandering around freely.’
Song Ci looked at Chu Yi happily. At least he had a sense of justice and tried helping her without offending anyone. He was really considerate.
Song Ci said sincerely, “Thank you.”
Chu Yi shook his head.
“I hope you don’t mind me for being nosy.”
“It’s fine! By the way, what happened to your girlfriend?”
Song Ci understood Wei Yunxi’s decision. Sometimes, people were just desperate. She did not blame her.
Chu Yi was silent for a moment. Then, he said in a deep voice, “She left the entertainment industry.”
Wei Yunxi hated Fu Wenze and herself. After her emotional breakdown, she almost killed him. Fortunately, she decided against it. Ruining herself for a sc*mbag was pointless. In the end, she only stabbed him in the thigh and said, “You and I are even. If you ever try to control me again, I’ll really kill you. Also, if you try to report this matter, I’ll expose everything. I’m sure you don’t want that, right? Of course, I won’t say anything either. Let’s never meet again.”
When Wei Yunxi stabbed Fu Wenze, the latter felt like she had become real and lively again. It was glorious.
Despite that, Fu Wenze was tired of Wei Yunxi’s body and did not pursue her. In fact, he was not afraid of her threat at all. Wei Yunxi was still too young and had no connections.
Anyway, Wei Yunxi moved to a different city and used the money that she had saved up to open a shop, leading an ordinary life. Unfortunately, she was permanently traumatized.
Chu Yi did not expect to see Fu Wenze again and encounter the same situation. He was worried that Song Ci would end up like Wei Yunxi. So, he tried his best to prevent it.
“I hope she’ll recover and lead a good life,” said Chu Yi gently.
Song Ci nodded.
Suddenly, a staff member called for Chu Yi to help.
Chu Yi said goodbye to Song Ci and left.
Song Ci thought about Chu Yi’s actions for the past few days. Her heart felt warm.
If Chu Yi became successful one day, it would be a win-win situation for both of them. Bringing him into her company would be an honor.
Song Ci treated Chu Yi as an equal, just like everyone else. It was like they were returning kindness to each other.
