Chapter 159

t up to leave the restaurant, walking across the stone bridge when Warming received Cai Xiao Jing’s call. "Warming, you passed your audition! You got the role of Princess Xiangxiang."Warming stopped i...Chapter 159

"Who said so You agreed to it yourself, right" Warm said as she was putting on her shoes. Suddenly, she ran to the table and slammed both hands down on it. "Ye Feimo, please don't put Snow Like sister under house arrest anymore, okay She's already suffered enough."

"Snow Like Who is that"

"She’s a celebrity from Anning Entertainment, Chen Xueli. She’s a very nice person, she has better acting skills than me and looks prettier too. It was just an ugly rumor about being kept by someone else, does it really warrant her being under house arrest for so long"

"That's a matter of Anning Entertainment, why should I take the blame for such trivial matters"

"If not you then who Don't tell me that even after everything, you still don’t control Anning Entertainment. Even if someone in the entertainment department is deliberately causing trouble, with one word from you, things could be turned around." Warm said. Now that Gu Rui was fighting Chen Xueli over their child, she needed a stable job; being kept under house arrest would only work against her.

"Are you asking me for a favor" Ye Feimo folded his arms and asked with a smile.

“Yes, I guess so,” Warm glanced at the time. "I won't talk to you anymore, or I'll be the one who gets shortchanged again. Capitalist, I'm leaving now, see you tonight."

Warm waved her hand and left.

The corner of Ye Feimo's mouth curled up as he dialed Cheng Anya’s number. "Mom, do you have time tonight"

"What for"

"Come with me to a birthday party."

"Oh, you don't have a woman to bring along, so now it's your mother's turn" Cheng Anya couldn't help but comment.

"Yes, pity my son has no one to bring. So for tonight, just be unhappy with me."

...

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feimo instructed Zhang Ling to come in: "Take all of Han Bi's DVDs and magazines off the bookshelf. If you like them, take them; if not, throw them away." Ye Feimo said indifferently as he looked down at his work.

Zhang Ling glanced at him with silent surprise—surely the sky was about to rain red. These materials had been up there for years, and yet he was willing to discard them.

But Zhang Ling didn't dare question it; she quickly tidied everything away.

Looking at that empty space, Ye Feimo thought of the warm smile and smiled faintly.

The Huaihe River area was filled with high-rise buildings. The top floors had many open-air cafes where one could see all the scenery below while drinking coffee. When Nuwan arrived, Chen Xieru was already waiting for her.

A few days without seeing each other, and she looked much more haggard.

Chen Xueru didn't put on makeup today, showing her true appearance without any cosmetics. Although she looked clear and beautiful, she appeared weak and listless. Warming thought about Chen Xueru's relationship with Gu Rui and felt a pang of sympathy in her heart.

"Sis Xueru, are you still troubled by what happened between you and Gu Rui Has that man given up on the child" These days she had been busy promoting "Beauty Topples the Capital" intensively and quarreling coldly with Ye Feimo, leaving her exhausted both physically and mentally. She didn't have extra energy to care about other matters.

Chen Xueru shook her head, ordered a cup of coffee for Warming, and sighed softly, "Warming, I feel that my life is truly a joke."

"What happened"

"The paternity test report for the child has come out." Chen Xueru said with a bitter smile. A sudden chill ran down Warming's spine; she could tell something was wrong from how Chen Xueru looked, but did it really belong to Gu Rui

Chen Xueru read her thoughts and said, "Now I hope it belongs to Gu Rui because that way, perhaps I won't be seen as the sinner in someone else's love story."

"What exactly happened"

"The child is Tang Shuweng's, Tang Mdong’s brother."

"Oh..." Warming was shocked and opened her mouth wide. How could there be such a coincidence Shuwen Brother and Sis Xueru... no wonder that day when Mdong spoke hesitantly, she changed from her usual domineering demeanor; it also made sense why she found Xiao Nian so familiar.

Xiao Nian looks different from Tang Shuwen now, but she resembles the childhood Tang Shuwen as if they were molded from the same template.

Nuan Wei quickly put together her thoughts. Ye Feimi had mentioned that Tang Shuwen's girlfriend Zhao Yuning was someone he got along well with, which made Nuan Wei feel uneasy since she wasn't close to Zhao Yuning and now cared more about Chen Xueru.

"What should we do then Sister Xueru, are you sure"

Chen Xueru nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. Nuan Wei sat next to her and gently patted her thin shoulders. Over the years, she had endured family tragedies, betrayal from Gu Rui's ruthlessness, faced the harsh reality of her career plummeting after reaching its peak, all while raising a child alone. She had gone through great hardships.

For a woman to remain strong after bearing so much is truly difficult.

"What should we do then A few days ago, Man Dong told me that Shuwen Brother plans to get married. Is it you who's going to marry him" Nuan Wei asked, thinking that they likely had no choice but to get married now with a child. But Tang Shuwen also has a girlfriend he deeply loves; what could be done about that

Chen Xueru wiped away her tears with a tissue. "These past few days have been hell for me, and the pain I've endured is even greater than before. A few years ago, Tang Shuwen was in America making deals with a gang when he accidentally drank spiked drinks at a bar and got tricked. He ended up in a hotel confused, where he met me. In the middle of the night, I left, but later on something happened that I don't know about. Tang Shuwen accused me of... those humiliating words I can’t bring myself to say. As a result, he lost his USB drive with crucial data for Longmen, which caused significant losses when it was exposed later on. He has harbored resentment towards me ever since then, believing that I stole his USB and sold the information to his rivals who had close ties to Gu Rui. Tang Shuwen thought I deliberately seduced him for Gu Rui's sake to harm him. He’s been tormented by this over the years, even though he doesn't know my identity but still hates me.

"That night, I was staying at Man Dong's place when she showed me pictures of Tang Shuwen from his childhood and compared them with Xiao Nian's photos. Our conversation was overheard by her mother who was happy about it, yet when Tang Shuwen returned home and heard the news, he dragged me into a room, nearly killing me. He originally planned to tell his parents about marrying Zhao Yuning but couldn't after what happened. His mom accused him of shirking responsibility and demanded that he take charge instead, letting all his frustration out on me by not believing my words and denying fatherhood for Xiao Nian because of that incident. I had no choice but to have a paternity test done with Xiao Nian to prove it was his child."

Chen Xueru struggled to hold back her tears, "I regret it so much. I regret going over to Man Dong's house and taking out those photos of Xiao Nian for her to see. I really regret everything."

"Sister Xueru, don't cry anymore. It will be fine, everything will be alright," said Nuan Wei as she patted her shoulder and wiped away her tears. "Just explain things clearly to Shuwen Brother; he's reasonable and won't turn a deaf ear."

"He doesn’t believe me at all. He’s always hated me, and now he hates even more because of what I did to his relationship with Zhao Yuning. That night, he really wanted to kill me. Whatever he does to me is fine; I’ve endured everything before, but his coldness towards Xiao Nian... calling her an uncultured child without manners... I just can’t take it." Chen Xueru's tears streamed down her face as she poured out all the grievances and hatred Tang Shuwen harbored against her, accepting whatever he chose to do.peras, and attends concerts."Thank you." She sincerely thanked him. Does this mean that he could be a fan of hers Dou Di didn’t chat much with Rongwen; after exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up...
