Ling Sheng sighed helplessly. She looked around and lowered her voice. “What do you think I should do then? Should I kill her?”
Shi Lingyu was so angry, as though she was the one who had been betrayed. “If you blacklist her, she won’t be able to survive in this industry anymore. We’re civilized people. We can’t violate the law. I thought that she’s usually quite nice. Why is she so evil? Did she hook up with Yu Chuhe? She looks so ugly. How could Yu Chuhe take a liking to her?”
“Speak properly. This is a personal attack!” Ling Sheng sighed. She herself wasn’t really a person obsessed with good looks1, so she didn’t have high expectations for others’ visuals, especially an a.s.sistant. It was fine as long as she could do a good job.
“So what if I made a personal attack?! If she appears in front of me now, I’ll slap her twice.” Shi Lingyu’s chest heaved violently with anger.
“I’m the one who got betrayed. Why do you seem angrier than me?” Ling Sheng was amused by her.
“I helped you vent your anger, yet you laugh at me.” Shi Lingyu was annoyed. She reached out to pinch her. “You heartless thing. Humph! I’m going to ignore you.”
Then, she shut her mouth and looked in the direction of the stage.
Su Yi also asked in a soft voice worriedly, “Have you handled it properly?”
Song Yiyan had just told them that Sheng Sheng’s a.s.sistant, the one called Little Ye, had come to find her already. Hence, they had also guessed that she was definitely involved in Sheng Sheng’s accident. That girl usually looked quite honest, but they hadn’t expected her to do such a thing. One really couldn’t judge a book by its cover!
“Yes, it’s fine now.” Ling Sheng was baffled. She raised her eyebrows. “How did both of you know?”
“We’re all in the entertainment circle.” Su Yi was relieved upon knowing that everything was fine, but she still reminded her “You have to take care of that a.s.sistant well. If you can’t handle her yourself, leave it to Sister Mei. She’ll clean it up.”
Teacher Lu had already told her that Yu Chuhe wasn’t a good person a long time ago. She had also reminded Sheng Sheng to pay attention and not have too much contact with him. She believed that she had taken it to heart too so she couldn’t have fallen for it.
The only possibility was that Yu Chuhe had used someone close to her to make a move. Little Ye was a very suitable candidate. She had heard from Sheng Sheng that Little Ye was also Yu Chuhe’s ‘wife’ fan. With Yu Chuhe’s tricks, it would be very easy for him to hit on an ignorant and innocent girl and have her obey his every command.
At the fashion show, when the music diva was singing, the catwalk had also started. In the women’s clothes display, the models had slender waists, bubble b.u.t.ts, and long legs. The new season’s clothes were beautiful, exquisite, and unique in style. They weren’t marketed as high-end products, but mid to high-end products. The value for money was definitely top-notch among worldwide luxury goods.
The clothes had been personally designed by the fashion queen, Ella. The main outfits had been designed by her alone. These standards were at the top among the luxury goods in the world, and the prices were more affordable. A brand that most ordinary white-collar workers could also afford was a brand that could be promoted on a large scale.
When Shi Lingyu watched the fashion show, she didn’t stop sighing with emotion. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at the clothes. They all look nice. So pretty! When the clothes launched in the market, she would definitely buy a set for everything. However, she just didn’t know how many people’s clothes would clash with her then.
Su Yi couldn’t help but sigh as well. The clothes were really pretty. Every piece of clothing had a unique design. As expected of a product personally designed by the fashion queen. She had led dozens of world-famous designers to design it. Now, she could even imagine that once the clothes went on the market, they would definitely be sold out in minutes.
“Sheng Sheng, when are you shooting the commercial?” Su Yi asked Ling Sheng softly. “Or is your mother planning to change the brand amba.s.sador?”
Ling Sheng didn’t know either, as her mom hadn’t mentioned when the filming would start. “I’ve already signed it. I’m the global amba.s.sador. How can they switch me out just like that? I’m the amba.s.sador for myself. Who else is more suitable than me?”
“Yes, you’re the prettiest. You’re the most suitable.” Su Yi followed her words and could not help but smile.
Ling Sheng’s lips curled up smugly. That was true. Her mother had only set up this brand for her in the first place. If she didn’t become the amba.s.sador, who else would be more suitable?
However, ever since she had taken her seat, a gaze would sweep over her from time to time and size her up from all directions. They were all Hollywood superstars too, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She thought that it must be because of her mother that they wanted to see what her daughter looked like.
Luo Xin and Gu Shen were sitting together in the back row, only one aisle away from Ling Sheng and the others. The former could clearly see many Hollywood superstars looking at Ling Sheng with great interest. Every single one of them had excited and kind gazes, causing her heart to feel suffocated.
What was so great about Ling Sheng? Wasn’t she just counting on having an outstanding pair of parents? Auntie Nangong must have invited all these Hollywood superstars and designers over to help Ling Sheng increase her connections and pave the way for her to enter Hollywood and walk onto the international stage.
Gu Shen took a look at Ling Sheng, his eyes as deep as a cold lake. He knew everything that had happened yesterday. That b*stard Yu Chuhe had ill intentions toward her but was caught by Third Uncle, who exposed his dirt. Not only had he become a street rat1, but he had also been captured and locked up.
Last night, it was said that Third Uncle had taken her to the hospital. The two of them only came out at noon the next day. Third Uncle had even carried her out. He didn’t even need to think to guess what had happened between the two of them.
“Ah Shen, are you still not feeling well?” Luo Xin looked at him with a face full of worry and asked, “Do you want Chen Ge to bring you some medicine?”
“I’m fine.” Gu Shen shook his head and looked at the woman beside him. Out of the corner of his eye, he took another look at Ling Sheng. He didn’t understand what he was feeling, but his heart felt so empty that it was uncomfortable.
Ever since that car accident, he had not seen her again. However, he would always dream of her. In his dreams, he was sometimes a child, while at other times, he had already grown up. However, every time in his dreams, he would be chasing after her, but he never seemed able to catch up to her.
In his dream, he had been so disappointed, miserable, and in pain. He wondered if he had gone crazy. Why would he dream of that d.a.m.n woman again and again? He should hate her instead!
However, he knew very well inside that the so-called ‘hate’ was just to deceive himself and others. He didn’t know when it had all started, but he didn’t hate her anymore. He did not hate her at all. However, she wouldn’t look at him again.
“Why are you so distracted?” Luo Xin, who was downstairs, held his hand secretly and asked in a low voice, “After today, do you want to talk to your Third Uncle about the two of us?”
Gu Shen frowned. “My Third Uncle isn’t here.”
Luo Xin said, “Ah Shen, the baby is already three months old. If we still don’t find a suitable time to announce it, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hide it anymore.”
