Chu Yin saw Qi Rong’s expression fluctuating, so she cautiously asked, "Naïve? Why? What happened afterward?"
Qi Rong got up and walked to the window, turning her back to everyone.
The remaining words were hard for her to speak.
Looking at the descending sunlight, she closed her eyes.
"The penalty for breach of contract wasn’t the real leverage Sister ng used to threaten ."
"It’s because I once did so things."
Chu Yin stared at her back and asked, "What things?"
Qi Rong said, "Sister ng should have also invaded your privacy, right? I was no different."
"Back then, I was in the lilight and felt a little smug. When others showed kindness, I happily indulged without refusal."
Chu Yin responded, "You weren’t... acting like a player, were you?"
Qi Rong nodded slightly, "Sothing like that, just flirting with n I had so interest in, chatting, saying things not suitable for children, fulfilling mutual needs."
Ah, this...
Chu Yin was a bit stunned; she didn’t know how to respond.
If both parties consented, it really wasn’t such a big deal.
Lin Zhiyi saw Chu Yin’s embarrassnt and asked on her behalf, "These were things done willingly on both sides. Even if your conversations were explicit, it actually couldn’t threaten you."
Qi Rong lowered her gaze, just like the sun sinking westward, the light in her eyes faded away.
"Because I once agreed to soone else’s conditions for a role."
The words fell.
The room fell silent.
What conditions, everyone had a clear understanding.
Qi Rong didn’t want to justify it either, and continued, "I really liked that role. I knew I could perform well and stand out, but sotis the more you desire sothing, the more unattainable it becos. The director saying I wasn’t suitable made nothing."
"I accompanied him to have fun for a week, and afterward, nobody ntioned it, I successfully got the role, and I beca famous because of that role, everything seed to be moving in a good direction."
"But those photos were still obtained by Sister ng, and later I found out she had installed spyware in my phone and computer, capturing all the photos from that week."
"She threatened with the photos and videos, saying if I didn’t agree, she’d ruin my reputation, even making my parents unable to hold their heads high."
"I had no choice but to agree, thinking once shooting was over, the nightmare would end, but who knew that one compromise would lead to many."
"To Sister ng, doing it once or ten tis made no difference; no good roles ca my way anymore, and I was just like a commodity, exchanged back and forth, then I fell ill."
"Realizing I had injured an investor’s head, I was finished."
Qi Rong finished speaking, and exhaled heavily.
Everyone remained silent.
How should one comnt?
Peeled away from the celebrity aura, Qi Rong was just an ordinary person.
She could be proud, complacent, trying to take shortcuts, regret everything, and be weak to avoid.
She wasn’t perfect.
But no one is perfect.
Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin exchanged glances.
Chu Yin said angrily, "You were wrong, but she’s not exactly innocent."
Lin Zhiyi calmly asked, "When you left the industry, didn’t Sister ng say anything?"
Sister ng only warned : "Keep your mouth shut, or I’ll expose everything. She probably got my diagnosis report, knowing there’s no use keeping around, fearing if I acted out during an episode, she couldn’t afford to offend others."
"So are those people this ti also from Sister ng?" Chu Yin asked.
Qi Rong nodded, "That area is where I grew up after all. I know more people than Sister ng does. I found soone to get close to those pursuing , and they said soone had given them money, not to harm but to pressure continuously. That’s how I knew it was Sister ng; she understands my illness fluctuates over the years, just pressuring lightly could break ."
As she spoke, Qi Rong revealed her scarred wrist.
Chu Yin was shocked.
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but hold her breath, rembering her own suicide attempt.
The two n beside them remained unusually calm.
Sang Li asked, "Why does it have to be you starring in that movie? As far as I know, the female lead didn’t return to the entertainnt industry after filming."
Gong Chen said, "Sister ng, as a selfish person, wouldn’t reveal your weaknesses so soon unless there’s substantial benefit."
Gong Chen seed to have a hidden agenda, just waiting for Qi Rong to speak first.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin looked at Qi Rong.
Qi Rong raised her gaze and said, "That woman won an international award. You should have known about it, then she quickly got married."
Chu Yin asked in confusion, "What do you an?"
Qi Rong smiled bitterly, "Her husband is a film enthusiast, their favorite genre is just the type of that film, so her family financed a scriptwriter and director proficient in that genre to tailor it for her, each point hitting ho for the man, then she won the award abroad, chatted extensively about movies, and they swiftly got married."
Lin Zhiyi amazed, said, "A custom-made bride?"
Qi Rong nodded, "Her family’s primary goal was to marry into a better aristocracy. That money ant nothing to them. It proved she was quite successful."
Gong Chen coldly stated, "Not necessarily. They’ve divorced abroad long ago. Reportedly, the man claid to have found his muse, and they divorced rapidly, while the woman, eager to marry into that family, signed a prenuptial agreent, leaving her almost penniless."
While speaking, Gong Chen glanced at the entrance to Chen Jin.
Chen Jin handed over the docunts.
Lin Zhiyi asked in surprise, "When did you investigate?"
Gong Chen calmly replied, "When you went to find Qi Rong yesterday, I followed the clues. Not only this woman, but also take a look at what Sister ng has been doing over the years?"
Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin quickly flipped through the pages.
Chu Yin exclaid, "What is this? A custom-made bride class?"
Lin Zhiyi was even more surprised, "This male celebrity’s wife was also trained by Sister ng. When they got married, everyone found it odd. No one heard much about their relationship, the man said it was a soulful match. Turns out she was crafted to fit his soul."
The world is indeed full of wonders.
Gong Chen continued, "If these wealthy and foolish individuals are surrounded by Sister ng’s people, she could practically command the entertainnt industry."
Chu Yin nodded, "Why did she lower herself to beco my manager then?"
After speaking, a flash of inspiration hit her, and she looked up at Sang Li.
"Oh, does she want to craft a soul-matched bride for Mr. Sang?"
Sang Li didn’t speak, nor did his expression show surprise.
Chu Yin imdiately stood up, "You knew it long ago?"
Sang Li replied with a hum, "I found out about it pretty much during that funeral."
"And you didn’t stop her? You wouldn’t really want it, would you?"
"Isn’t one hassle enough? Why would I want so many?" Sang Li answered directly.
"I..." Chu Yin was stunned, her face flushed red.
Sang Li said, "Sister ng wanted to climb higher. It just happened you needed a new manager, she probably seized the opportunity."
Chu Yin nodded, then quickly shook her head.
"No, she also wants to ruin , she wants to promote newcors."
