Zou Bai’s decisive rejection was beyond Chen Xiang’s expectations. In the past, as long as she mentioned her father, all her requests would be fulfilled. The Zou Family had always remembered the kindness of her father’s sacrifice to save Zou Bai.
Therefore, Chen Xiang thought that this time was no exception. As long as Zou Bai agreed to go with her to pay respects to her father, it would definitely make Jiang An feel uneasy. It might even cause another scandal.
However, Zou Bai had rejected her. This made Chen Xiang panic. She didn’t have much contact with Zou Bai to begin with. Her father was their only link. If Zou Bai didn’t care about this favor, she wouldn’t have an excuse to get close to him.
Chen Xiang suppressed all the unhappiness in her heart and smiled. “I didn’t think it through. I can go alone.”
“There’s nothing wrong with Miss Chen’s words. After all, your father saved Zou Bai’s life. I’ll definitely get someone to send an offering over to express my grat.i.tude,” Jiang An said calmly.
She wasn’t going to wait for Zou Bai to defend her. She was going to open her mouth and give each other some dignity. Her dignity would always be hers.
Moreover, the other party had already made a move just now. It was time for her to counterattack.
Zou Bai didn’t want to waste any more time here. Since he couldn’t hear anything useful from Chen Xiang’s mouth, he might as well go back and let the people from the Intelligence Network investigate. They would soon find out who Chen Xiang had been in contact with in the past two years.
“Say h.e.l.lo to your father for me. I won’t disturb you anymore,” Zou Bai said and pulled Jiang An away.
From the beginning to the end, his att.i.tude was very distant. Anyone with eyes could tell that the two of them were not familiar.
Chen Xiang forced herself to wait for them to walk out of the door. Then, she turned around, picked up the cup on the table, and threw it to the ground. It shattered with a crisp sound.
Ye Ying was shocked by the sudden movement. In the past, Chen Xiang did not have the habit of smashing things. Moreover, she was rarely angry. The ferocious-looking person in front of her was almost unrecognizable.
The anger in Chen Xiang’s heart gushed out. She should be the one standing beside Zou Bai. They were the most compatible couple.
She admitted that she had something to ask of Zou Bai. When she debuted, she had asked him for a lot of help, but she truly loved Zou Bai.
She didn’t believe that Jiang An was as sincere as her. She must have taken a fancy to Zou Bai’s status and wanted to have a social marriage between the two families. That was why she chose to be with Zou Bai.
“An old woman with children actually wants to s.n.a.t.c.h him from me. I must make her pay the price.” Chen Xiang roared.
Ye Ying really didn’t want to care about her anymore. The fact that she could say such things meant that she was definitely going to do something bad next. If she continued to stand with Chen Xiang, she would be considered the same person.
She did not want to get involved in these love affairs. She was just an artiste’s agent. Working hard and living her life was the most important thing to her.
However, from her point of view, Jiang An and Zou Bai were so intimate that not even a needle could be inserted into them. In the end, Chen Xiang’s efforts would be futile.
“Chen Xiang, obsession will only harm yourself in the end. It’s better to let go. You still have your career. You’ll have a better life,” Ye Ying sighed.
Chen Xiang walked over. “Sister Ye, Zou Bai is my better life. I must be with him.”
What she said just now was Ye Ying’s last piece of advice to her. Since Chen Xiang chose not to listen, there was nothing she could do. She just felt that it was a pity that an outstanding actress would be tied down by love, and it was such a hopeless and unrequited love.
“Sister Ye, are you thinking of leaving me?” Chen Xiang looked at her with a dangerous gaze.
Ye Ying felt as if she was entangled by a poisonous snake, and her breathing became heavy. She subconsciously took a step back and said, “I haven’t been feeling well recently, so I want to go back to my hometown to recuperate.”
“This reason is really unbelievable. I know very well what you’re thinking. Don’t think that you can leave me. The consequences will be very serious,” Chen Xiang said with a smile.
Her eyes and lips curved into a standard smile, but no matter how one looked at it, it was a little strange. It was as if she was about to take out a knife to kill someone in the next second.
Ye Ying looked at Chen Xiang in a daze. Her face was filled with surprise and confusion. The direction of the matter had already exceeded her control. Thinking of the Church of Eternal Night that they had mentioned just now, she suddenly had a bad guess.
If she stayed any longer, it would be a cliff. Ye Ying secretly decided that she had to leave. Even if she had to pay the price, she had to stay away from them..
