To think that, before she received this call, she gleefully and naively thought that she was somewhat special to the man!
Ultimately, all she received for her anticipation was his fury and interrogation. She was absolutely floored!
What made her most heartbroken was not his stern questioning but his defensive stance toward the actress. It was clear that he deemed the actress more important than his reputation!
J-Just what right does Yun Shishi have to enjoy his love?!
Why won’t he give up even when he knows that he can’t have her at all?!
I truly can’t understand it!
What women feared most was not losing to another woman but losing to a woman who could not care to compete with them!
He’s not important to her at all, so why does he still love her so wholeheartedly?!
“Xingze… I’m not a greedy person, nor did I deliberately make use of you to create a buzz, but I can only follow my company’s arrangements for me! I signed a contract with them, so I have to cooperate with whatever hype and whatnots they want me to do! I—”
A thought struck her mind right there and then. As if possessed, she stared straight at the wall blankly, gripped the phone in her hand tightly and said, “Besides, I don’t think I did anything overboard! Didn’t you groom Yun Shishi for her to be where she is right now? She was just an unknown rookie upon her debut, but Huanyu created scandals about you and her being in a relationship to gain fame! S-Surely, it’s not a big deal if you give me some resources! Just a bit! I’ll be content if you give me a bit of what you gave to her! I’m not a greedy person… I just want to become a professional actress.”
Upon hearing that, Gu Xingze kept mum for a long time, and when he finally broke the silence, his voice got increasingly frigid. “Li Xiang’er, bear this warning in mind: Don’t try to figure me out, much less talk terms with me! You should know the sort of relationship we have. I won’t be stingy to deny you of what I owe you, but don’t you hanker after things that aren’t yours! Yun Shishi isn’t someone you’re allowed to scheme against, let alone offend! Having good resources wasn’t the sole reason for her meteoric rise to success; she has a flair for acting. I’ve already made my stand very clear. Stop what you’re doing now, and I’ll let things slide this one time, but if you’re adamant on going about things the wrong way…”
His voice took on an indifferent yet chilling tone. “No matter how high you fly, I’ll be sure to pull you down to the bottom of the pits! Things are already over between us. Let’s just part on good terms and not let things get too ugly! I’m officially warning you now: From this moment onward, we have nothing to do with each other. Also, if you continue to conduct yourself in this way, I won’t hesitate to use my means to deal with you.”
The superstar ended the call as soon as he finished saying his piece.
As Li Xiang’er stared blankly at the bare walls, she loosened the grip of her hand, causing the phone to drop onto the ground with a thud.
She almost broke down after hearing what the superstar said.
All the hopes and delight that she secretly felt were completely dashed!
So I don’t hold a special place in his heart at all!
I see myself as someone special to him, but really, all I am is just a replacement!
Yun Shishi’s replacement.
