“What do you mean? You think this Old Man can’t foot the bill?” A sinister smile appeared on Xu Qiang’s rotund face as he seemed to be reminiscing about something. “You forgot that you got together with this Old Man in the past?”[1.’Old Man’ is a self-referencing term.]

Du Manqing’s face waned at once. “Watch your words, President Xu.”

“Humph! Little Du, I would like to remind you of something. One should not forget one’s roots. Both of you are actresses, so it’s just a matter of setting a price. Go and ask her how much she wants. The Old Man has plenty of money!” Xu Qiang then added haughtily. “Or does she want resources? Which film does she want to act in? The Old Man will invest in it.”

“You can go and ask her yourself, President Xu!” Hatred flowed within Du Manqing’s eyes, as she really wanted to slaughter the fat pig in front of her.

As long as he was alive, she would never forget the shame and humiliation she had suffered in the past!

“You really don’t know how to appreciate kindness. Now that you have a higher net worth, you think you can be complacent and forget about our past relationship? If you are unwilling to help me get this woman…” Xu Qiang grinned before adding, “I’ll expose our past to the world. I’ve been reminiscing about the video we filmed frequently.”

“What do you want?” Du Manqing’s chest rose and fell vigorously, her fingers tightening their grip on the wine glass.

“I want her tonight. I can’t wait any longer.” Xu Qiang finished his words and shoved something toward her. Then, he whispered in her ear. “Make her drink this. You don’t have to care about the rest.”

“I can do it, but you have to return the video to me,” Du Manqing said as she took the bag.

Upon thinking that Ling Sheng would not escape the humiliating and shameful fate she had once suffered either, she felt a sense of elation.

Clean?

Nobody was cleaner than anyone else in this industry.

Ling Sheng was sitting on the sofa and chatting with someone. “You’re flattering me, Director Li. We will work together in the future if there’s a chance.”

There was no more wine in the glass.

Instantly, Du Manqing carried two glasses of wine over and gave one glass to her. “Sheng Sheng, when did you get to know Director Li?”

“Manqing.” Li Qi, who had worked with Du Manqing before, was smiling as he greeted her. “I heard from Xiao Ling that both of you work for the same company. Sister Mei indeed has good taste, wisdom, and the ability to find talented girls like you two.”

“You’re flattering us.” Du Manqing smiled as she took a seat and toasted Ling Sheng. Then, she lifted her head as she drank her champagne.

Ling Sheng could hold her liquor well. Even a thousand glasses would not be able to get her drunk.

However, this body seemed different from hers. Although she had just taken a sip, her head had already started to become heavy. She did not dare drink more.

When Du Manqing made a toast, she took a sip out of courtesy. Then, she stood up while holding the glass. “Senior Du, have a good chat with Director Li. I’ll go out to get some fresh air.”

On the deck, Huo Xuanzhou was standing beside the railing lazily, watching as his prey neared him slowly. She would soon be falling into the trap.

His lips curled up slightly as he raised the tall wine glass containing yellowish-gold champagne. He finished the whole glass in one gulp.

Ling Sheng!

Only

It was her!

She was the little slut of the film crew who had harmed Luo Xin!

He had been chasing Luo Xin for two whole years to no avail.

Therefore, he had decided to cause damage to the woman who had harmed her to see if he could gain Luo Xin’s favor.

Ling Sheng’s face felt slightly hot, but she felt better when she got some fresh air on the deck.

She continued walking forward, wanting to walk to the railing to refresh her mind.

Who knew that she had just walked past a man…

Her wrist was suddenly grabbed. “Lady, you caused my bracelet to fall into the river.”
