Xia Yangyang said, “I want to confirm, was it you who placed the ‘Heart of the Kingdom’ necklace in my bag?”

Shen Manbing coldly snorted, “Catch a thief crying ‘Stop thief’. Wasn’t that your trick to frame me? Look at you today, so bold. Ah Chen probably hasn’t seen this side of you.”

Xia Yangyang retorted, “How can you be so ungrateful? If it wasn’t for me just now, you would still be bullied by that old woman. You usually enjoy bullying me, don’t you? But when it comes to an old woman, why has the high and mighty Heavenly Empress Shen become so timid?”

Shen Manbing argued, “My business is none of your concern.”

Shen Manbing feared neither heaven nor earth, but she did fear that home.

Fear of hearing the words ‘sweeping star’.

Fear of mention of her parents’ death, Xiao Duo’s death.

For so many years, she often had nightmares. She was afraid of the dark, yet she loved being on the bright and glamorous stage.

But Luo Meixin would remind her from time to time, to provoke her.

She was the high and mighty matron of the Shen family who had abused her since childhood.

That fear, formed from her childhood, was so deeply rooted that even when fully grown, she didn’t know how to fight back.

It’s not that she hasn’t tried to resist, but every time ended with her being hurt and even implicating her brother.

For many years, Shen Shichuan had clashed with the entire Shen family in order to protect her.

He didn’t want a single penny of the Shen family’s wealth and established Time Entertainment for her sake.

But Master Shen highly valued his eldest grandson.

This gave Luo Meixin the leverage to keep fanning the flames in front of Master Shen.

Although she was a superstar in the entertainment industry,

the Shen family not only had wealth accumulated over centuries, but also supreme authority.

If it wasn’t for Shen Shichuan’s protection, she would have fallen from heaven into the mud long ago.

Xia Yangyang took a deep breath and said seriously, “I can swear, I absolutely did not take the necklace to frame you. And I also believe, you did not take the necklace either. From the beginning, I felt that someone was orchestrating all of this, but I still can’t see the real purpose. If you also want to know the truth, we can play this game together.”

Shen Manbing looked up, “Why did you suddenly believe me?”

Xia Yangyang was silent for a moment before answering, “I don’t believe in you, I believe in Ah Chen. If he trusts you, then I trust his judgement.”

Upon mentioning Gu Qichen, Shen Manbing’s eyes dimmed again.

She stared fixedly at the girl in front of her.

Without any makeup, she looked as pure as a high school student.

But from her calm and composed way of dealing with Luo Meixin earlier,

Shen Manbing was sure, this girl had a patience and persistence beyond normal people.

So now, she couldn’t tell if she was acting or not.

What kind of person is she really?

Shen Manbing warned, “Xia Yangyang, you’d better not give me any reason to come after you.”

When she left the hospital, Xia Yangyang felt inexplicably cheerful.

She didn’t know why, but it felt like she was seeing Shen Manbing in a new light.

Just as Xia Yangyang was about to hail a cab and leave,

a group of people near her suddenly rushed over, “It’s her! Xia Yangyang, the mistress who disrupted the Heavenly Empress’s happiness! She had the audacity to show up at the hospital where the Heavenly Empress is staying, what exactly is she planning?”

The crowd was rushing over with signs.

Xia Yangyang noted that all the signs said, “Support the Heavenly Empress, Xia Yangyang get out of the entertainment industry!”
