Shen Shichuan continued, “However, I am curious as to what has made Miss Xia so disoriented.”
Xia Yangyang said, “It’s just some things that I can’t figure out.”
Unwilling to talk about it, Xia Yangyang changed the topic, “What brings you to the hospital?”
Shen Shichuan explained, “My little sister was in a car accident and is hospitalized. I’m here to see her.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yangyang felt as if something flashed through her mind.
Xia Yangyang hesitated before asking, “Your sister, is she Shen Manbing, by any chance?”
Shen Shichuan glanced at Xia Yangyang, “You know my sister?”
As expected.
The Shen family was complex. They were one of the four major families in Feng City. Shen Shichuan was the CEO of Time Entertainment, and Shen Manbing was the company’s core talent. But she had never made the connection between the two individuals.
Xia Yangyang’s feelings were mixed as she spoke, “Shen Manbing is a national icon, who wouldn’t know her?”
Shen Shichuan laughed, “If Miss Xia is willing to join the entertainment industry, you’ll be the next top star in no time. Director Yang Jin keeps talking about you every day, urging me to convince you to play the female lead in his new drama.”
Xia Yangyang politely declined, “I am still at school, it wouldn’t be convenient.”
“That won’t be a problem at all. The drama is mostly set in a school environment, and the location is your very own A University. Besides, you’ll be on summer vacation soon.”
Despite that, Xia Yangyang still declined.
After finishing dinner, Xia Yangyang returned to Maple Villa.
Half an hour later, Gu Qichen called to say he would be late and advised the driver to pick her up from the restaurant.
Xia Yangyang said, “That won’t be necessary, I am already home.”
After hanging up, Xia Yangyang sat alone on the couch.
Her gaze was fixed on the clock on the wall.
When would Gu Qichen be back?
Midnight. If Gu Qichen came back before midnight, Xia Yangyang would confront him.
If he didn’t come back, she would leave.
Xia Yangyang, a Libra, often found herself in a dilemma.
Under such circumstances, she would let time and fate make the choice.
The hands of the clock were ticking. Time was slowly slipping away.
Xia Yangyang’s heart was sinking, as if sinking into the deep, endless sea.
When the second hand unhesitatingly passed twelve, Xia Yangyang suddenly felt calm.
It was as if the sword hanging above her head had finally dropped.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Xia Yangyang picked up her phone and dialed Shen Shichuan’s number.
There was a note of surprise in Shen Shichuan’s voice over the phone, “Miss Xia?”
“I was wondering, if I agreed to act in your film, would you arrange accommodation for me?”
“Of course, it’s the best dormitory at A University.”
“Fine, I accept your offer.”
After hanging up, Xia Yangyang started packing her belongings.
She did not want to live under the same roof as Gu Qichen, and her old dormitory had been assigned to someone else.
Neither did Xia Yangyang want to go home, she would either stay at school or go to summer camp during summer vacation in the past.
After packing, Xia Yangyang lay in bed for a while, but she couldn’t sleep soundly.
Gu Qichen didn’t come back all night.
The next day, Xia Yangyang left with her luggage.
Xia Yangyang first kept her luggage in Wen Xiaochu’s dormitory, then she went to Time Entertainment.
CEO’s office.
Shen Shichuan handed Xia Yangyang a document, “This is the contract. You can have a look. If you have any concerns, feel free to raise them.”
Xia Yangyang skimmed through it.
Having grown up with a father who was also a chairman of an entertainment company, Xia Yangyang was familiar with such matters.
Xia Yangyang said, “I have no intention of becoming an artist under Time Entertainment. Can we make it simpler? I shoot a film, you pay me what I deserve, we end the contract after the movie is done. Just like that, simple..”
