After changing his shoes, Li Tingshen took off his coat and stood up to look at him.
“Where’s Ye Qingqiu?”
“Why are you looking for her?”
“Don’t play dumb with me.”
Lian Lili interrupted him coldly, “I know that the two of you are living together now. I said that night that as long as you agree to let Xu’er join the production team, I won’t interfere in your matters for the time being.”
!!
However, when I asked you to bring Xu’er into the production team to film, she went straight to the production team and slapped Xu’er twice in front of so many people. She insisted on forcing Xu’er to leave the production team. You were there too. I believe you know this better than me. The Ye family spoils her, but what responsibility and obligation do I have to spoil her?
“I know that she has been staying here recently. I’ve told you before that as long as you agree to bring Xu’er into the production team, I won’t interfere in your matters for the time being. But now, this is a different matter. If you don’t know how to tell her, I’ll do it!”
Lian Lili’s gaze followed Li Tingshen. Li Tingshen had not stopped since he entered the house. He walked to the dining room and took out a bottle of water from the fridge. He turned around and saw the untouched food on the table.
He paused and walked out of the restaurant again.
“Did you hear what I said?!”
Lian Lili lost control of her emotions due to his attitude.
“No matter what, I did agree to you bringing her into the team. As for what will happen after she enters the team, you didn’t mention it. I don’t have the obligation or responsibility to care if she was bullied or how aggrieved she was.”
“Since she has decided to enter this industry, this kind of problem can’t be avoided. Today, she can be slapped in the face by Ye Qingqiu, but tomorrow, she might be slapped by someone else. After all, she didn’t rely on her strength. She used this method as soon as she entered the industry. No matter how great her achievements are in the future, others have a deep-rooted belief that she used capital to squeeze out capable actors. She will never be able to shake off this label. There are many people who can’t stand her. Perhaps she should adapt to this situation in advance.”
Lian Lili frowned when she heard that. “So I have to thank Ye Qingqiu for slapping Xu’er?”
Li Tingshen placed the bottle on the cabinet beside the balcony and his indifferent gaze landed on Lian Lili. “There’s a reason why she hit someone. If it’s just because I brought her into the production team, she wouldn’t be so angry.”
“No matter what the reason is, she shouldn’t have hit him!” Li Tingshen was obviously biased towards her.
Li Tingshen’s gaze turned cold. “You can go back and ask Liang Xuer if she wants to be beaten up by Ye Qingqiu or if she wants me to do it myself.”
Lian Lili’s breathing suddenly stopped. “You…”
“I’ve said it before. Ye Qingqiu won’t hit her just because I brought her into the production team. While your heart aches for her, you can’t help but think about why she was hit.”
Li Tingshen obviously didn’t want to talk to her anymore. “Let her be more honest. I didn’t even decide to be with her when she was still young. Now that she’s playing tricks behind my back, I hate her even more. Also, compared to our relationship, I believe you can handle it. Don’t cause trouble for me every time because of her. It will affect our relationship. What do you think?”
Lian Lili was stunned by Li Tingshen’s cold words.
It took her a long time to react. “So what about what happened online today? Not only did she get beaten up, but she’s also mocked by the entire Internet for being a flower vase. Even the reputation of the drama you want to invest in has plummeted. Aren’t you going to pursue this matter with her?!”
“Who do you think I should pursue the matter with? If Liang Xuer didn’t join the production team in the beginning, nothing would have happened. Don’t make me be so ungentlemanly to settle scores with you. You won’t be able to gain anything from me.”
Lian Lili frowned and looked at him in confusion.
“Li Tingshen, you’ve told me before that you won’t fall in love with Ye Qingqiu, right? You’ve promised me that nothing will happen between you and her. You’d better not get involved! You’re being too obvious with your favoritism now. You’re avoiding the main point and defending her at all times. Has she confessed anything to you? The incident online this time was obviously caused by her to smear Xu’er’s reputation and take revenge on you for bringing her into the production team. Everything was done to balance her feelings. Otherwise, why would Xu’er suddenly be criticized like this? Even a fool can guess that other than Ye Qingqiu, no one would do such a thing. No one would be as generous as her.”
Removing the trending topics and buying them would cost a lot of money. Who had the ability to do that?
Li Tingshen pursed his lips and lowered his eyebrows, seemingly deep in thought.
Something that even a fool could guess…
“Tingshen, if you really don’t want to hurt her, you should break up with her as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you really have feelings for her in the future, or if she falls deeper, it will hurt you and her the most.”
“Isn’t this what you want to see the most?” Li Tingshen walked over from the balcony. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll send you back.”
Lian Lili felt that she had not vented her frustration. She walked to the door in a daze and suddenly thought of something. “So where’s Ye Qingqiu? Didn’t she stay with you? Why didn’t I see her today?”
“I went back to the Ye residence.”
“Get angry with you?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re quite patient with her.”
Li Tingshen opened the car door and escorted her in.
Lian Lili rolled down the window and looked at him. “Aren’t you going back for dinner?”
Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “You came in to criticize me because of someone else. Did you only remember now that I didn’t have dinner?”
Lian Lili looked a little unnatural. “I was angry.”
Li Tingshen didn’t say anything. He stood up and said to the driver, “Drive.”
Lian Lili could tell that he didn’t want to say anything else, so she didn’t say anything.
He only moved when Lian Lili’s car disappeared.
Instead of going upstairs, she took out her car keys from her pocket and got into the car that had just stopped.

After Ye Qingqiu came out of the shower, she spent a lot of time. Her hair was probably not dried even after she blew on it. After she came out, she did a simple skincare. Then, she sat on the desk chair in front of the window and took out a nail clipper from the drawer. After that, she thought of what she had asked Ye Ze to investigate and took her phone.
Ye Ze didn’t reply.
She didn’t want to rush him. Putting her phone aside, she propped her feet on the chair and started to cut her nails.
Someone knocked on the door. Ye Qingqiu didn’t even look up as she replied, “Come in.”
The door opened and she heard footsteps entering the room. She paused and turned around to see the man walking towards her with a glass of milk in his hand.
She frowned. “Who let you in?”
“You.”
Putting the glass on the desk, Li Tingshen lowered his gaze to look at her. His thin lips were curled into a faint smile, which was much gentler than his usual coldness. Ye Qingqiu was no stranger to such a person and could guess what he was here for.
She lowered her head and focused her attention on her nails. “Didn’t you say you were busy? You have time to come here now?”
“I didn’t expect the consequences of being late.”
Li Tingshen watched as her back faced him. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t tell if she was in a comfortable position. He walked to her and pulled a chair over. He took the nail clipper from her hand, held her ankle, and placed it on his lap.
Ye Qingqiu struggled, but Li Tingshen didn’t let go.
“Don’t move or you’ll bleed.”
This sentence was effective.
Seeing his well-defined fingers pinching her nails to the extent that he was carefully cutting them, she pursed her lips and turned to pick up the milk beside her to take a sip.
The crisp sound of fingernails being cut could be heard in the room.
Ye Qingqiu finished the milk and looked at him calmly. “Why? Do you think you can let bygones be bygones after the matter has been resolved?”
Li Tingshen touched her nails to check if there were any bumps and asked in a low voice, “Who are you going after?”
“Me?” Ye Qingqiu laughed. “I threatened to kick her out and this happened. Anyone would think that it was me. Don’t you think so too?”
After confirming that his nails were cut, Li Tingshen looked up and placed the scissors on the table.
“So did you do it?”
Ye Qingqiu sneered and retracted her leg. “You want to settle scores with me in another way?”
“I don’t want to settle scores with you. Even if you really did it, I won’t do anything to you.”
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “I have to thank you for being so tolerant and generous to me. However, will you really not do anything to me? Did you find out something and think that it has nothing to do with me? Are you going to express your goodwill to me now?”
Li Tingshen smirked. “So you really didn’t do it.”
Ye Qingqiu’s face darkened.
To get information out of her.
She found her slippers and put them on. She stood up from the chair and said, “If there’s nothing else, go out. I don’t want to see you now.”
“There’s no dinner. I’m hungry.” Li Tingshen grabbed her hand and stood up.
“If you’re hungry, go to the kitchen. I have nothing to eat in my room! Li Tingshen, what are you doing…”
Before she could even speak, Li Tingshen had already carried her onto the desk.
He was trapped by her, and there was no room for him to leave.
“Not in the kitchen, only in your room.”
He was very close to her. His refined and handsome face was so close that Ye Qingqiu felt that he was trying to curry favor with her.
Her rationality had been released, but the anger that she had been harboring for two days could not be subdued by beauty so easily.
“Don’t do that. How infatuated do you think I am with your face? Do you think I can write everything off just by putting on this face?”
Li Tingshen’s gaze swept across her features. When he heard that, he chuckled softly. “Didn’t I say it wasn’t you? Why are you so angry?”
Ye Qingqiu leaned back slightly and was pressed back by Li Tingshen. His smiling eyes stared at her for a while before landing on her lips.
