"I know, I know!" Luo Yuxin quickly nodded, raising two fingers. "I swear Luo Yuwei is my sister, she can definitely get you a eting with Ye Xian. If I’m lying, Brother Dong, you can have soone kill , and I won’t have any complaints!"
"Very good!"
Cheng Zidong happily patted his head. Just thinking about finally eting Ye Xian made his blood boil with excitent!
He couldn’t believe it; he had been searching everywhere for an opportunity to et Ye Xian, and now it practically fell into his lap with no effort at all!
"Take to see your sister now. I need to arrange a eting with Ye Xian by tomorrow!"
"Alright, alright!"
Luo Yuxin thought that once his sister introduced Ye Xian to Brother Dong and Brother Dong had his fun, not only would his debts be cleared, but he might even be taken under Brother Dong’s wing, making him extrely excited.
Imperial Capital Central Business District Center, Starlight Entertainnt Headquarters Building.
"Sister, please have so hot water."
Xiao Nan poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Luo Yuwei.
Ever since the Golden Cauldron Award ceremony, Luo Yuwei had been in a strange state. Initially, she was in a frenzy of anger, which eventually subsided, but she would occasionally cough and looked terribly pale, as if her rage had taken a toll on her body.
"No need."
Luo Yuwei pushed her hand away, "Help take a day off tomorrow. I need to go ho and rest."
"Rest? But you have a very important comrcial shoot tomorrow..."
"Postpone it!"
Her firm tone made Xiao Nan shiver. She nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
Then she watched as Luo Yuwei’s figure disappeared through the door. What is going on with Sister Yuwei? She had initially vowed to pursue her stardom diligently, putting in ten tis the effort of others. Xiao Nan had decided to support her wholeheartedly. But gradually, her attention shifted entirely to Ye Xian, openly and covertly ostracizing Ye Xian. Now that Ye Xian had won an award, she behaved as if she faced a great enemy, entirely losing herself. She seed to be drifting off course...
At eleven o’clock in the evening, Luo Yuwei returned to the private apartnt allocated to her by the company. She had only gone to bed after washing up when she heard a rustling noise at the door as if soone was unlocking it?
The only people with keys to this apartnt were Xiao Nan and her brother.
She turned on the light and was about to get up when she heard a loud ’bang’ as the door was kicked open. Imdiately after, Luo Yuxin stumbled in front of her, wailing loudly, "Sister! Sister, please save !"
Luo Yuwei was terrified to see him covered in bruises. "Xiao Xin! Xiao Xin, what’s wrong with you? Who beat you up like this?!"
She was about to get out of bed when over a dozen burly n in black clothes and sunglasses entered from outside. The leader, a particularly muscular man, had a vividly colored snake tattoo extending from the back of his right hand up to his arm, making it look terrifying. Combined with his gangster-like face clenching a cigarette, he seed to have walked right out of a mafia movie.
The tattooed man ca straight towards her without explanation, scaring her so much her face turned pale and her pupils dilated. In a trembling voice that matched her shaking body, she said, "Who... who are you? Don’t co near ... stay away! I’ll call the police!"
Cheng Zidong approached her and grabbed her chin, comparing it to a photo on his phone.
Luo Yuwei let out a sharp scream, "Ah..."
"It really is you, but with your makeup off, you don’t compare to the photos at all!"
Cheng Zidong, hearing her scream like soone trying to assault her, released her abruptly, "Why are you screaming, making such a racket? I have no interest in won, especially bland ones like you."
How can soone who doesn’t even have one-thousandth of Ye Xian’s charm play the lead role?
Upon being released, Luo Yuwei trembled and reached for her phone on the bed, only to have Xiao Nan’s phone snatched up by a subordinate and handed to Cheng Zidong.
Cheng Zidong took the phone, "What’s the password?"
Luo Yuwei clutched the blanket tightly, her face bloodless, staring at them, "Who... who are you people? Get out of my house! I’m telling you... I’m a celebrity, if anything happens to , every one of you will be exposed, and none of you will get away!"
"Oh, I’m so scared!"
Cheng Zidong shrugged, kicking Luo Yuxin beside him, "Before we get exposed, you better watch out for your brother’s scandal being exposed first!"
Brother’s scandal?
Luo Yuwei looked at Luo Yuxin, who clung to her arm sobbing, "Sister... Sister, I’m sorry. I saw how hard you work, and I wanted to lighten your load, to earn a bit more money. So, I joined Brother Dong’s gambling gas, lost it all, and... and I owe Brother Dong a lot of money!"
"What?"
Luo Yuwei grabbed his hand, "Xiao Xin! Are you out of your mind? Didn’t Sister tell you to never get involved in gambling, why did you do it? You said you were using that money to open a shop!"
"Sister! I’m sorry!"
Luo Yuxin lifted his head, slapping his face over and over, making Luo Yuwei both angry and heartbroken, "Enough! How much do you owe? I’ll pay it back for you!"
Cheng Zidong lit a cigarette and casually exhaled, "Eighteen million."
What?!
Luo Yuwei looked at him in shock, as if she couldn’t believe her ears.
Luo Yuxin kept his head low, not daring to lift it.
"Well, Miss Luo, will it be cash or check?" Cheng Zidong chuckled, "Betting on cars is a legitimate business, don’t try any tricks to avoid the debt. Even if I leave here with the money today, no one would dare say a word."
Eighteen million... where would she find eighteen million? Back when the Bo Family offered her paynt, she declined. She accepted a lower fee to star in Conquest of the World. The ad money she earned over these days, other than daily expenses and taxes, almost all went to Xiao Xin. She barely had a million on her card!
"I... I don’t have that much money."
Cheng Zidong had expected this. The entertainnt circle indeed made a lot of money, but only for big celebrities. Small stars might look glamorous all day, but many struggled to make ends et, otherwise, there wouldn’t be a bunch of beauties throwing themselves at their rich second-generation circle.
"No money? That’s fine, but I can’t guarantee your brother’s hands will be safe."
Cheng Zidong signaled a subordinate with his eyes, and the subordinate imdiately took out a knife and walked towards Luo Yuxin. Seeing this, Luo Yuwei cried out, "What are you doing?! Are you crazy?"
Luo Yuxin saw the mont was right and threw himself at Luo Yuwei, pleading, "Sister! Sister! Save ! Please save !"
"How can I save you, I don’t have that much money!"
"You can! Brother Dong likes Ye Xian, he said if you arrange for him to et Ye Xian, he’ll clear all my debts! Every single one!"
Cheng Zidong gestured to the subordinate to put away the knife.
Ye Xian?
Ye Xian again?!
Why is everything related to Ye Xian!
Luo Yuwei’s mind, already terrified to the extre, felt like it was about to explode upon hearing Ye Xian’s na, and the hatred that had just subsided surged a thousand tis over.
She looked at Cheng Zidong, "You got Xiao Xin into car betting, making him lose so much money, just for Ye Xian, right?!"
Otherwise, with Xiao Xin’s honest and timid character, he would never gamble, let alone lose an astronomical amount!
Cheng Zidong: "Cut the nonsense; I just need to know if you’ll arrange the eting."
Sure enough.
Luo Yuwei’s hand clenched the bedsheet so tightly that it almost tore it.
