Cheng Che was speechless. He thought to himself, ‘As expected of my girlfriend. Perhaps, I should let her seek revenge on her own. Forget it. I couldn’t protect her this time. How can I let her risk her life for revenge? Besides, Guan Tang’s cunning isn’t something Jiahui can compare to. I can’t and won’t let her face Guan Tang alone.’
As the saying went, ‘Once bitten, twice shy’.
…
Guan Tang waited until dawn in fear. Relief flooded her heart when the police did not come. She had waited until ten in the morning, but the police still did not show up.
‘Is Jiahui dead?’
With Jiahui’s temper, if she was still alive, she would definitely want to send Guan Tang to prison. She was not the kind to forgive and forget such a thing.
At this time, Guan Tang’s phone suddenly rang, startling her. She trembled slightly as she answered the call. It was Yin Yi.
“Cousin, Grandpa wants you to come home for lunch.”
“Oh, okay, okay, I got it,” Guan Tang quickly replied. She packed her things swiftly, feeling the urgent need to leave her house so she could have a change of scenery.
…
Ye Cheng was resting at Zhuang Ning’s house. He had already treated the place like his home. He was also worried that Yin Jia would come looking for him without warning so it was inconvenient for him to stay at his house.
At this moment, Zhuang Ning brought out a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Ye Cheng. She said with a frown, “It doesn’t seem appropriate for you to keep coming in and out of my place. There’s a lot of paparazzi outside. You can’t afford to stir up any scandals with your current situation.”
Ye Cheng raised his head and smiled. After taking a sip of the coffee, he said, “Haven’t you heard that the most dangerous place is also the safest place?”
Zhuang Ning did not reply and took a seat across from Ye Cheng. She asked, “Did your meeting with the Yin family go well?”
Ye Cheng was stunned. It was as though he did not understand Zhuang Ning’s words.
Zhuang Ning smiled bitterly. “Miss Guan told me you were having a meal with the Yin family. She told me that if I want to capture your heart and be with you, I have to seize the opportunity. In other words, she wanted to appear during the gathering. She said Old Master Yin and Old Madam Yin would definitely be unhappy and that my chances of ruining your relationship with Yin Jia are very high.”
After that, Zhuang Ning looked at Ye Cheng silently.
Ye Cheng tried to calm down first before he asked with a smile, “Why didn’t you do as she said?”
Zhuang Ning averted her eyes and forced herself to remain calm. She rose to her feet and walked to the window. A pot of orchids sat on the windowsill, and she reached out to stroke the leaves as she said, “First, I don’t fight over men. Second, I don’t want to be used as someone’s knife. Just because she doesn’t get along with the Eldest Young Miss of the Yin family doesn’t mean she can use me. Third, I don’t like such sinister women.”
Ye Cheng stood up and hugged from behind. Then, he leaned down slightly and whispered in Zhuang Ning’s ear, “Zhuang Ning, I love you. For the rest of my life, I’ll only love you.”
Zhuang Ning gently pushed Ye Cheng’s hands away and stood at the side. She smiled and said, “Stand and talk properly. Don’t get physical. Talk about practical things. I’ve heard enough of your confession.”
Ye Cheng smiled. He felt that Zhuang Ning’s cuteness was unparalleled.
Zhuang Ning sighed softly.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Cheng asked when he saw the slight frown on her face.
Zhuang Ning looked at him and asked, “Ye Cheng, can you teach me how to run a business?”
Ye Cheng was puzzled. “Why do you want to learn how to run a business?”
Zhuang Ning said seriously, “Acting is just a job for young people. There are newcomers pouring into the industry every day. I’m afraid it won’t be long before I get pushed out of the industry. After all, youth is the most important thing in the industry. I don’t want to wait until I’m cornered before I act. Why don’t you accept me as your protege so I have a legitimate reason to stay by your side?”
