Chapter 835: 835 I Can’t Go Back Anymore (1)
At the time, she was just a newcomer in the industry. When the accident happened, there were only a few sentences about it in the news, and not many people paid attention. I too just glanced at the news and did not look further.
As for what occurred, it was probably no more cared for than it is now.
"It was a stage accident. Originally, the person lying there was supposed to be me."
"Was it Dong Yan who tampered with it?"
"Yes. Back then, the three of us were considered the most promising. If it weren’t for Meng Yao lying there, she might have been just like me now."
"Why didn’t anything happen to Dong Yan? Shouldn’t she have been arrested and punished by the law?"
"There was no evidence," Xiao Man’s gaze remained fixed on Lin Meng Yao, "there was nothing that could be done to her. I still remember when Dong Yan, with her disgusting face, stood in front of me, arrogantly saying that without evidence, even the law couldn’t touch her, what else could I do to her. At that time, I really wanted to kill her, really badly."
She said this through clenched teeth.
Eleven remembered how on the set, Xiao Man could endure Lin Qiang, endure everything, but she just couldn’t stand Dong Yan appearing before her.
Now she understood.
"But later I changed my mind, a life worse than death would be more painful. Now she, struggling in poverty, has to do anything for money. She has been in this industry for so many years and still hasn’t made it, nor will she ever, as long as I am here for one day, I won’t let her succeed. My existence in this position is not as joyful as people think, but I stay because as long as I remain, crushing Dong Yan is as simple as crushing an ant.
"Sinful? How does that matter, what I’m doing is nowhere near what she did back then.
"Tiring? Yes. Occasionally I feel weary from all that I do, but as soon as I return here, stand in front of Meng Yao, and see her like this, all my goodwill drowns. I can’t forgive her; only when she suffers more than death can Meng Yao find solace."
"Okay."
After hearing all this, Eleven just nodded.
She knew there had to be a cause and an effect in this.
Thus, she felt no sympathy for Dong Yan, who had brought about her own present state through her past actions; she got what she deserved.
Just like Bai Xiaoxiao, she can now treat her as a stranger because what she did wasn’t enough to turn her into a demon. But if she had ever hurt Fei’er to get to her, then...
Would she become the second Xiao Man? It was almost a certainty.
"Just... okay?" After Xiao Man finished, the ferocity in her face faded, replaced by a gentle smile.
"Should I have reacted differently?"
"Don’t you find me terrifying or something? Give me a look of fear at least, otherwise, with only me talking here, it’s like being haunted. How boring is that?"
"Ha-ha," Eleven laughed, "because we are the same type of people."
Xiao Man also smiled, then looking at Eleven, said softly, "No, you will not be the same type of person as me. Live your little life with Haohao and Fourth Master; becoming like me is nothing good."
First comes the experience of pain, then the enduring of pain, and finally living with pain.
Each point was utterly sickening.
...
When she left the hospital, Xiao Man had originally wanted to invite her for a drink and talk some more.
"No thanks, I still need to go to the law firm to have them look over a contract."
"Oh right, I’ve yet to congratulate you—congratulations on passing the audition."
