Xue Xue opened the video of Liang Heâs press conference.
The man sat in front of the row of microphones with a pale face, a melancholy look lingering between his brows, with a bit of sadness and a bit haggardness, such a Liang He looked particularly pitiable. If she hadnât known how rotten the other partyâs heart was, Xue Xue was afraid that she would also be deceived.
The spotlight flickered.
Someone stepped forward and whispered in Liang Heâs ear.
Xue Xue noticed that it was Shu Jiaâaiâs agent.
âHeh.â
A faint smile appeared on her lips, but the smile was not as deep as the calculations in her eyes.
Finally, the press conference began.
âXue Qiao likes me.â
âAnd I like the stage, and I like acting.â
Liang He said in an eloquent way, although his tone was depressed, it was also moving.
âSome people may think this is very spineless, but I am really, willing to give my all in exchange for a chance to realize my dream.â
âSo when Xue Qiao threw out an olive branch, I accepted it without much thought, and my background, you guys know too, reality didnât give me too many choices, I could only try to grasp every possible opportunity that may not be so open and upright, but could bring a little assurance.â
âMaybe I was really too young and naive at that time. I always thought that Xue Qiao wanted to contact me because she appreciated and liked me, thatâs why she offered to go out with me.â
âAt that time, I didnât have a girlfriend, and only had the passion to stand on the stage. And when I think about it, it was a good deal. â
âSo I agreed to Xue Qiao, and I did so with a serious mind.â
âI just never expected that this choice would bring me one step closer to my dream but also into the abyss.â
It was obvious someone had prepared a speech for Liang He in advance. From the beginning to the end, every word was heart-wrenching, inside and outside the words, and all the blame was put on Xue Qiao, and he, Liang He, was a poor character who had to be subservient in order to make his dreams come true.
He was an ignorant boy blinded by the sweet words of woman.
It was not until he found out that the womanâs love for him was not pure, but full of selfish possessiveness and strong desire to control that he realized something was wrong and he wanted to get out of it. However, the relationship between him and Xue Qiao, and the influence of Xue Qiao in the industry doomed that this was not an easy thing.
Xue Xue listened to the manâs true feelings, who was reversing right and wrong, and her face was expressionless.
âXue Qiao fell in love with my brother.â
âSo, she designed me and Jiaâai, but after one night, Jiaâai was pregnant.â
âI didnât know that Xue Qiao had hooked up with my brother at that time, I just thought it was I who cheated on her, and Jia Ai saw me in a difficult position and then sheâŠâ Liang He said with a choked voice. âI went and aborted the child myself.â
There was an uproar at the scene, and Liang He continued after a momentâs pause.
âMy brother and I are half-brothers. Because of a misunderstanding, my brother didnât understand my parents very much, and even hated me.â
âAfter an accident at home, my brother disappeared, and I went to work in a bar to earn money for school and living expenses.â
âWe hadnât seen each other for a long time, so I could have never imagined that it would be under such circumstances that I would see my brother again.â
If not to fight back, Xue Xue really didnât want to waste her time appreciating Liang Heâs poor acting skills.
She was patient, but the wrinkles between her fine eyebrows deepened.
âXue Qiao listened to my brotherâs lies and wanted to take revenge on me.â
âSo she designed a one-night stand between me and Jiaâai, and after Jiaai had an abortion, she asked someone for proof and video to blackmail me. â When Liang He said this, he just squeezed out a few tears. âThe two options were for me to quit the showbiz, or to lose my reputation.â
After listening to the press conference for more than 20 minutes, Xue Xue turned off the screen.
At some point, Liang Xiao had already entered the office.
The man put his hands on the desk and looked at her solemnly.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Xue Xue understood that Liang Xiao should have received the news.
âHave you seen it too?â
âYes.â
Seeing that Xue Xueâs attitude was relatively calm, Liang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was originally worried that Xue Xue would be so angry when she find out that Liang He had called a press conference without authorization and the content of the press conference was still like this, because when his assistant sent the live broadcast to him, and listening to Liang Heâs sad and miserable story, the only thing that came to his mind was to rush directly to the scene and beat him up.
Liang Xiao was a person with strong action, he had picked up his car key and was about to leave.
But halfway through the drive, he turned in a different direction.
It was not urgent to sort out Liang He. What he should worry about most was Xue Xue.
Although the woman seemed to have completely let go of Liang He, Liang Xiao still had no idea where he stood in her heart. After all, Xue Qiao was the one who forgave Liang He again and again for what he did.
He was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid that the woman will be hurt, because of the sharp words and gossip that would follow. Public opinion is like poison, and when it spreads, it may give a fatal blow at any time.
However, when he met Xue Xueâs eyes, Liang Xiao knew that the worries he had imagined on the way here were unnecessary.
The woman he likes is smart and tough.
Therefore, Liang Xiao also gave up the pleasantries and asked directly. âWhat do you plan to do now?â
âWhat should I do?â Xue Xue tilted her head. âWhat do you mean?â
âIf this matter is not dealt with in timeâŠâ
âIn time? Why should it be dealt with in time?â
Liang Xiao who was asked this question, didnât know how to answer for a while. He thought Xue Xue was joking, however when he looked carefully, he found that the womanâs expression was very serious.
âLiang Heâs press conference has already caused an uproar. Before I came to see you, my assistant came with the news that all the major news portals have already released the draft, not to mention the communityâŠâ Liang Xiao arranged his words. âArenât you going to do anything to counterattack? Or are you against Liang HeâŠâ
âStop!â
âLiang Xiao, youâre off the subject.â Xue Xue made a stop gesture with a light smile on her face, and said rather helplessly. âBesides, do you have so little confidence in me?â
