Chapter 127 Chapter 127 He will continue to entangle himself even if he dies...

The waiting room was brightly lit by sunlight. Sister Cao, who was standing nearby, noticed that Xu Qinghu looked unhappy and ran over anxiously to ask what was going on. The latter raised his hand slightly and walked to a more secluded corner.

"Xu Qinghu, do you think you've won?" Perhaps out of sheer rage, Du Yanting actually laughed. "If He Shengnian were just a law firm partner, you and him might have a good outcome. But if he's not, what good do you think will come of it?"

"Don't dream," he said meaningfully, "My today is your tomorrow."

Hearing this, Xu Qinghu knew that he was implying that she didn't know He Shengnian's true identity, and was mocking that it would be impossible for her to marry into a real wealthy family with her identity.

"What is his identity?" Xu Qinghu chuckled. "The heir of the upper-class He family?"

Du Yanting's breath hitched, unable to conceal his shock, he said, "You know him. Did you already know his identity, so that's why you pursued him? You're such a vain woman! No wonder you're so persistent in pursuing He Shengnian!"

He was furious and asked, "Who told you? Wu Xuan or him?"

"Guess." Xu Qinghu sighed softly, "Du Yanting, you're not the only smart person in this world. What you think is information is nothing more than that to me."

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then a mocking voice said, "So what if you know? Nothing good will happen to you or them. I'm waiting for your end."

Neither the He family nor the Wu family could easily accept Xu Qinghu's identity and background, especially the He family, who were waiting for her final backlash.

She wants to take shortcuts by using men, she thinks men are too simple.

"Is it because you are that kind of person yourself?" Xu Qinghu asked back, "Because you are the son of a Phoenix Man, do you think my future will be the same as your father who is in prison?"

Du Yanting fell silent again. A strong anger surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but blurt out to Xu Qinghu: "What do you know? Xu Qinghu, don't be so self-righteous!"

"You're no different from your father," Xu Qinghu said slowly, "When he pursued your mother, wasn't it because he was attracted by her family background, hoping to seize her inheritance? Unfortunately, he made a mistake, thinking that controlling your mother would allow him to rest easy. Who knew that he would only shoot himself in the foot, and ultimately suffer the consequences."

"You pretend to be positive and upright in front of your mother, but aren't you just trying to follow in your father's footsteps?" Xu Qinghu smiled. "It's a pity that you're all so hopelessly stupid, thinking that controlling women means you can control everything. Once we refuse to be humiliated, you become angry, resentful, and blaming us. Du Yanting, you're disgusting."

"you!"

"Don't think women are too simple," Xu Qinghu said. "The one you think you can easily control may cause you to fall into an abyss without seeing the light of day, and teach you a lesson you've never learned before."

"Like your mother, like me." Xu Qinghu said: "If you want to use me, you will have to pay the price."

Her voice was extremely calm, but her tone made Du Yanting feel cold in his heart. "You have lived for so long, shouldn't you be more innocent than me?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone again, and then the sound of something being smashed was heard again.

"Whether your problem has anything to do with me or not, the moment you called me, you completely lost." Xu Qinghu sighed, "How does it feel to be a loser?"

Du Yanting took a few deep breaths, as if trying his best to calm himself down, but the anger of his ruined future made it impossible for him to remain rational. "Xu Qinghu, I haven't lost yet."

The latter remained noncommittal and said, "In the final analysis, your failure is due to your own incompetence. What does it have to do with me?"

A gnashing voice came from the other end of the line, "Xu Qinghu!"

"I heard it," Xu Qinghu said with a smile, "Du Yanting, when you treated me like a blood bag before, you probably didn't think about your own fate, did you?"

"You said your today is my tomorrow. I return this sentence to you exactly as it was. It's your turn to repay all the harm you have caused me."

"If my heart wasn't strong enough and I didn't choose He Shengnian, would I be completely abandoned by you and the production team and become a stepping stone for Qiao Wanshu and the Qiao family?"

Xu Qinghu chuckled softly, "Du Yanting, don't think that just because I'm not a stepping stone, the pain you've caused me doesn't exist. The abuse from tens of millions of people, the countless doubts and curses, if I wasn't brave enough, I would have died long ago."

"Those with vested interests are all executioners." Xu Qinghu said, "I am petty and narrow-minded. I will never forgive, and I will never forgive."

Hearing this, Du Yanting's anger seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water.

He held the phone tightly, looking at the messy beer bottles in the room. His throat felt like it was clogged with cotton and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

The summer sun was blazing, but he couldn't feel any warmth.

"You know this is the price of being on the show."

"I don't want to." Xu Qinghu said, "I don't want to be anyone's sacrifice. I don't want to be kicked around like a blood bag. I don't want to."

"Du Yanting," she said in a much softer voice, "I never wanted to."

They clearly wanted to kill her, but they pretended to be innocent, which made her feel sick when she thought about it.

Du Yanting prides himself on being extremely smart and able to manipulate people's hearts to achieve all his goals. Has he never thought that one day he would be exposed?

"You've never asked for my opinion." Xu Qinghu said, "Neither in the past nor now."

"The me in your heart is you." Xu Qinghu said, "The more you hate me, the more you hate yourself. Instead of worrying about my fate, you should worry about your own future."

"After all, not everyone can accept the result of losing the bet."

"So you hate me so much," the man said hoarsely, "I thought you'd treat me differently after spending some time with me, but it turns out it was all my illusion."

"Forgetting is betrayal," Xu Qinghu said, "If I put aside our past grudges just because you're showing me kindness, I wouldn't be myself anymore."

Xu Qinghu looked at the plane outside the window. It flew on the runway for a moment and then suddenly took off, rushing into the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Du Yanting didn't speak for a long time. He still hated her in his heart, but he didn't feel any uncontrollable anger. Instead, he felt a pain that he couldn't hide.

If he had thought in the past that as long as he fought hard, he might still have a chance to rekindle their relationship, now he is in danger and can only accept the fate that will judge him.

Recalling the twists and turns of his journey, Du Yanting let out a low laugh. "Xu Qinghu, you say I've been calculating? But my life has never been easy."

He said slowly, "You said I'm the son of a Phoenix Man and my father is a vampire. Did you know that I was sent back to my hometown in the countryside when I was very young and could only see my mother a few days a year? She later remarried and had two more children. If I didn't fight for it, I would have no place in the Fang family at all."

"I should have had a happy life, but because of their divorce, I became a burden and a nuisance. Why shouldn't I fight for it? Why can't I make that woman look at me with new eyes?"

Without this gambling agreement, he would not be able to truly enter the stage of power. No matter how many times he came, the ending between him and Xu Qinghu could not be changed.

"I don't regret it." He said in a low voice, "Even if you hate me, I won't make any other choice."

"Then don't look back," Xu Qinghu said, "Keep going in the direction you choose."

Du Yanting didn't reply. After a moment, he said, "If I had to do it again, I would have thrown you into hell from the very beginning, leaving you with no chance of recovery."

Xu Qinghu chuckled softly, "It's a pity you don't have a chance anymore, Mr. Du."

Du Yanting: "But what if there isn't one?"

He asked in an extremely difficult tone: "If we had gotten along differently at the beginning, would the result have been different?"

"Maybe," Xu Qinghu didn't give a clear answer, "No one can guess the result."

She thought that making people completely despair was not the best option, but to let them generate countless hopes in despair, and then have them destroyed by their own hands. Every time they thought of it in the years to come, they would feel sorry for themselves. Isn't that fun?

Du Yanting was indeed silent. After a moment, he said, "Xu Qinghu, do you think I'm a fool?"

"Whatever you think," she said with a smile as she heard the voice behind her reminding her to board the plane: "Du Yanting, I'm getting on the plane."

This meant that their call was coming to an end.

This may be the last phone call they will have in their lives.

"Xu Qinghu," Du Yanting stood up from the sofa and kicked the beer bottles on the floor, making a series of noises. He murmured her name softly, as if all the love and hatred he had for her was concentrated in these three words. He said, "I have become the abandoned child of the Fang family and will be sent abroad."

Xu Qinghu paused.

"You've achieved your goal," he walked to the French window and looked out at the scorching sun. "If nothing unexpected happens, I will never come back in this lifetime, and you will never have to see me again."

Such a big thing happened to Du Yanting. His dating show was banned, and all major video platforms and sponsors issued notices to sue him for breach of contract. No matter how cold-blooded the Fang family behind him is, they will take action to deal with these difficult matters in order to calm the public turmoil.

The end result was that he could no longer enter the center of power and was forced to fend for himself abroad.

Xu Qinghu thought of his glorious ending in the novel, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Are you still not satisfied with this ending?"

Du Yanting: "It's not bad that it didn't kill me."

Xu Qinghu didn't answer. She followed the crowd to the boarding gate. There was a lot of noise around her, but Du Yanting didn't hang up the phone. Instead, he asked in a very soft voice: "What about you? Have you ever been attracted to me?"

"What?" Xu Qinghu didn't seem to hear his question clearly. "What did you want to ask me just now?"

"Nothing," Du Yanting said nonchalantly, "Don't give me a chance, or I'll definitely retaliate."

But the initial anger was no longer in his voice, only indescribable disappointment remained.

Xu Qinghu walked to the boarding gate, glanced back at the crowd behind him, and replied calmly, "No."

Du Yanting paused for a moment and immediately realized that she was answering his question.

I only heard her say: "I have never been moved by you."

Amidst the noise of voices, she hung up the phone.

Du Yanting stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, listening to the busy tone on his cell phone, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

So this is their ending.

He thought he would hate her even more, but the moment he hung up the phone, an indescribable pain surged in his heart.

The indescribable suffocation almost deprived him of his senses.

Xu Qinghu had never liked him, not even for a moment, and what about him? Did he ever truly love her?

This answer will never be asked by anyone, and he will never tell it.

——

The next day, the Fang Group announced that it had severed ties with Du Yanting, severing the last ties of affection between mother and son.

During the interview, the other party made it clear that everything was Du Yanting's spontaneous behavior, and the Fang family had never done anything behind the scenes. However, the Fang family would pay for the losses caused by Du Yanting, but that was all.

This kind of answer is actually very disappointing.

Not long after, Du Yanting immigrated abroad and never returned.

At this time, Xu Qinghu had already joined the crew with his agent and assistant, taking his first step into the entertainment industry.

Not only did he shoot several advertising resources that Du Yanting had given him before, but he also impressed the director on the set with his acting skills.

"If I didn't know you better, I'd have thought you were a professional." The director said with a smile, "I've found a treasure this time."

Xu Qinghu plays the mysterious girl in the popular IP "Eternal Sword." Her role is limited, and her expressions are limited, but the occasional glances she makes are quite challenging to portray. Fortunately, she has undergone intensive training, and with her unique understanding of the role, her performance on camera far exceeds everyone's expectations.

It seemed as if the character with superb martial arts skills, who looked like the fairy Lingbo, was real.

"Not bad, not bad," although Xu Qinghu's role was only for half a month, the director could be heard praising Xu Qinghu from time to time on the set.

The staff who originally had a prejudice against her also leaked the news, saying that she had great acting skills and was the most suitable candidate for the mysterious girl, which instantly raised the audience's expectations for the movie.

The secret room is mysterious and dangerous. The hero and heroine are trapped underground by various traps and are about to be murdered. At this time, faint footsteps are heard from outside.

The next second, the door of the secret room was opened from the outside, and a cool girl in white came in. She raised her sword and knocked away the hidden weapon that was attacking her. Her slender and beautiful fingers lightly held the hilt of the sword, and her delicate face was cold. She easily resolved the crisis in the secret room and rescued the hero and heroine.

"Wow." The heroine hugged her savior's waist and loudly complained about how many people bullied her.

The mysterious girl patted the heroine's head gently, and calmly asked her to tell her name so that she could avenge her.

The heroine chuckled and brought the hero back to the ground with her.

After seeing the light of day again, the mysterious girl stood coldly by, listening to the male and female protagonists discussing the mastermind behind the scenes. She seemed to have become invisible, but attracted attention for no reason.

"The Eternal Sword" is a big pie that everyone in the industry is vying for. If the author had not decided to let Xu Qinghu play the role of the mysterious girl, it would not have been her turn just because she is a newcomer.

After the shooting of this scene was completed, before Xu Qinghu could react, Sister Cao and her assistant came over with a fan and a cup of water and asked her if she was tired.

Xu Qinghu shook his head, but before he could say anything, he heard a smiling voice, "Hulu's acting is really good."

It was Huo Xiao, the actor who played the male lead. He strode over to Xu Qinghu, looked at her beautiful face, smiled and said, "It's exactly the same as described in the original novel."

Huo Xiao is a popular star in the entertainment industry. He has been a versatile artist since his debut through a talent show. He has worked hard for several years and has acted in many movies and TV series. However, as he gets older, his transformation path has become more and more difficult. "The Eternal Sword" is a project he particularly values. Seeing Xu Qinghu's excellent performance, he is naturally very happy.

"You're too kind," Xu Qinghu replied with a smile. "I'm a newcomer, so if there's anything wrong with my performance, I'll need your and Hanyan's understanding."

Fang Hanyan was the actress who played the leading female role. After hearing what she said, she hugged Xu Qinghu's arm in a familiar manner and said, "Hulu, if you need any help with the script, feel free to come to me."

Xu Qinghu smiled and walked to the side with Sister Cao to rest.

"How's it going?" Sister Cao held up a small fan to cool her down and whispered, "Are you still getting used to the cameras around you?"

"Why wouldn't I be used to it?" Xu Qinghu leaned back in his chair. "No matter how many scenes there are here, is there as much as in a romance show?"

Sister Cao thought about it and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a good thing you participated in the dating variety show, otherwise the author wouldn't know you, and we wouldn't be able to get such a big production."

Xu Qinghu's eyes flashed, "That's hard to say."

Although Xu Qinghu didn't have many roles in "The Immortal Sword", he always gave a wonderful performance every time he appeared. He stayed on the crew for almost twenty days before finally finishing filming his part.

During this period, He Shengnian came to see her once and asked if she should continue to hire an acting teacher for her.

Xu Qinghu said: "Don't worry, the company will help me arrange it."

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk about work, He Shengnian took her out for dinner. As a result, the scene of their date was secretly photographed by paparazzi who had been hiding near the crew. The photos directly became a hot topic, making He Xu CP fans very excited.

[It's been almost a month, and the two have never interacted with each other. If you don't know, you might think they broke up.]

[Sure enough, He Xu couple is still the sweetest.]

[The scene of Mr. He and Hulu holding hands already reminds me of their future marriage.]

[I heard Hulu performed very well on the set. I look forward to the release of the new movie!]

[Emm, Mr. He came to visit the set, couldn't he just give Hulu a kiss in the street? I've been their fan for over two months, so give us some treats.]

[Who says there aren't any? Maybe they've already chewed their mouths off somewhere the paparazzi can't capture them.]

[I have already bought a lot of Hulu endorsements and look forward to her career getting better and better!]

After dinner, He Shengnian sent Xu Qinghu back to the hotel and said with a smile: "I've taken a leave this time, so I can spend more time with you."

He held Xu Qinghu's hand tightly, looked at her fair and clean profile, and said softly: "So many things have happened since the end of the dating show. Plus, you and I are so busy with work, we are rarely together. I almost forgot when we last had dinner together."

"Okay." Xu Qinghu shook their joined hands. "I finally waited until you were resting. I'll take you to the film and television base for a good stroll."

The two returned to the hotel and said goodbye at the door of the room. Xu Qinghu took her change of clothes and went into the bathroom. Not long after, He Shengnian came and knocked on the door, asking her if she wanted to watch a movie together.

Xu Qinghu glanced at the time. It was still early for her to go to bed, so she nodded and said, "Let's pick a comedy movie."

She took out a hair dryer to blow dry her hair. He Shengnian had already walked in from the door and took the towel from her hand naturally. "Let me help you."

Xu Qinghu blinked, his hand gently stroking her soft hair, and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed.

As soon as Xu Qinghu sat down, he sat down next to her, raised his hand and gently blew her hair, his slender and beautiful fingers shuttled through her black hair, with some indescribable meaning.

The soft warm breeze blowing on her head made Xu Qinghu squint her eyes. She was wearing light and comfortable pajamas, like a lazy and soft cat, exuding a pleasant scent all over her body.

While He Shengnian was stroking her hair, he was also secretly observing her expression. Seeing that she was lazy, he raised his hand and gently held her in his arms, asking with concern: "Are you tired recently?"

"Not bad." Xu Qinghu didn't seem to notice that he was deliberately closing the distance. He smiled and asked, "What about you? Is it particularly difficult to ask for leave?"

"Everything has been arranged in advance," He Shengnian said, looking at her cute white ears. "I will stay by your side during this period."

After saying that, he massaged Xu Qinghu's scalp affectionately. Unknowingly, the distance between the two had become extremely close.

Seeing that her hair was almost done, He Shengnian raised his hand to turn off the hair dryer. He looked at Xu Qinghu's curled eyelashes, his throat rolling slightly. He leaned forward and kissed her ear gently, and said in a hoarse voice: "Have you missed me during this time?"

Although they have been together on a dating show and keep in touch via phone, He Shengnian always feels that she is far away from him, otherwise he would not have taken time off to accompany her to work.

Xu Qinghu was startled by his sudden action. He raised his hands to cover his ears, and his eyes became a little embarrassed. "Of course, you are my boyfriend."

Hearing this, the corners of He Shengnian's mouth curled up immediately. He raised his hands and hugged her tightly, breathing in the sweet fragrance of her hair, and said with difficulty, "I miss you, too. I think about you every day."

After saying that, he kissed her ear again, his thin lips searching for her breath.

Xu Qinghu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she struggled silently in his arms. Looking at his handsome face so close to her, her eyes gradually became blurred, as if she was bewitched by him.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and the strong ambiguity could not be concealed in the room. He Shengnian's Adam's apple rolled, and just as he was about to capture her lips and teeth, there was a violent knock on the door outside.

Xu Qinghu immediately came to his senses and struggled to break free from his arms. His eyes flickered as he said, "It must be my agent. Maybe an actor wants to discuss the script with me."

He Shengnian also regained consciousness, coughed lightly, and said, "Go open the door first."

Xu Qinghu nodded, walked quickly to the door, and just as he opened it, he was dragged out forcefully.

"you!"

Before she could say anything, she was dragged into the room opposite by a pair of strong hands.

The next second, an extremely familiar breath enveloped her whole body, a passionate kiss fell on her lips, her waist was firmly grasped by the man's hand, she staggered and fell directly onto the big bed in the room.

Xu Qinghu blinked and was about to speak when his breath was taken away. Their lips and tongues intertwined, and rapid breathing could be heard continuously.

The cool and elegant scent made her look hazy.

The constantly surging heat made her chest feel stuffy. She grabbed the man's hair with her fingers and said with difficulty: "Let go..." The man didn't say anything, but kissed her fiercely. His lips and tongue went from between her teeth to her chin and neck, and continued down, making her whole body tremble.

"Let go!" Her eyes turned red as she stared at the man on top of her with hatred, her voice becoming hoarse. "I told you to let go—"

Before she could finish her words, she couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and her tense body instantly softened.

The man ripped off her pajamas and tore her apart with familiar movements, causing her legs to kick and thrash, her face red as if about to explode.

"Wu Xuan!" She stared at the top of the man's head and raised her foot to kick his body away as it was moving lower and lower. The next second, someone caught her weakness and her body began to tremble again.

"You beast," Xu Qinghu kicked his legs, trying to break free from his shackles, but the man covered him again, and their skin touched, making them fit closer and closer.

Like two porcelain dolls entangled together, they can never be separated.

"Did he kiss you?"

The man's slender and beautiful fingertips touched her white jade-like ears and blew gently at her. Xu Qinghu's neck shrank for a moment.

"It seems like they did kiss," Wu Xuan's eyes flashed with hatred, and he bit her ear directly, wanting to kill He Shengnian. "How did he kiss her, and how long did he kiss her?"

Xu Qinghu grabbed his hair again, trying to tear him off his body, "This has nothing to do with you."

"Well, you're right," Wu Xuan nodded, then laughed in anger, "He's your boyfriend, so it's only natural for you to sleep with him."

After saying that, he tapped Xu Qinghu's lips, neck, and chest. "Here? And here? He kissed them all?"

Xu Qinghu gritted his teeth, "Wu Xuan! Are you sick?"

"Don't you know whether I'm sick or not?" The man stared at her coldly, pulling her hand to touch his leg, "Touch it. Don't you care about me the most?"

Xu Qinghu's fingertips shrank.

Wu Xuan pressed down on her tightly, and used his other hand to take off her clothes, revealing her broad shoulders and narrow waist, and asked her to touch the broken leg.

"When we were dating, weren't you particularly worried about my pain?" He leaned close to Xu Qinghu's ear and said, "This leg hurts now too. Feel it, feel it."

The coldness in Xu Qinghu's eyes gradually disappeared. Looking at his leg, his throat felt like it was blocked.

If she were to ask what she felt the most sorry for when they were in love, it would definitely be Wu Xuan's legs. Every time they quarreled, he would pretend to be pitiful. Once he pretended to be pitiful, she could no longer be angry with him, and instead went to bed with him.

Although he is younger than her, he is very smart. He knows that she cares about him, so he always takes advantage of her weaknesses to achieve his goals.

Xu Qinghu withdrew his hand, but the anger in his heart subsided a little. He reiterated: "What are you doing? Do you think you can soften my heart by doing this?"

"Don't you know what I want to do?" He moved his body, like a ghost drowned in the lake, and said sinisterly: "I am willing to be your mistress, aren't you happy?"

Xu Qinghu became angry again and slapped him twice in the face. "If you want to go crazy, find a place where no one is around. Don't get me into trouble!"

Wu Xuan's face flushed red from being spanked, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and kissed her palm, saying, "Let me see if it hurts."

Xu Qinghu was like kicking into soft cotton. He turned his head away and said, "He just came to visit us. We didn't do anything. You let me go back."

Wu Xuan still pressed her hard and asked, "Where did he kiss you?"

Xu Qinghu didn't answer, and Wu Xuan began to ask her with his lips again, "Ears?" He kissed her ears.

"Nose?" He kissed the tip of her nose.

"Or lips and other places?"

Xu Qinghu collapsed on the bed and said coldly, "So what if he kissed you? What can you do to change that?"

"Well," Wu Xuan said calmly, "If he kissed me, then I will disinfect you. If he sleeps with you once, I will sleep with you a hundred times, a thousand times, until all his smell is washed away and you can only see me."

Xu Qinghu knew that he would keep his word, so he rolled his eyes and said, "We didn't sleep together."

Wu Xuan stared at her without saying anything. Xu Qinghu knew that he would not let it go if she didn't explain it clearly today, so she said "ear" expressionlessly.

Wu Xuan's eyes darkened. "Left ear, right ear, or both ears?"

Xu Qinghu gritted his teeth again, wishing he could kick him to death, "Right ear!"

Wu Xuan's expression did not improve upon hearing this, but instead became even angrier. He directly covered her ears and said, "Then I'll wash them for you."

The atmosphere between the two became sticky again, and the sound of panting could be heard intermittently in the room. Seeing him touching his ears, Xu Qinghulu also grabbed his ears hard, as if he wanted to dig his ears out and make them bleed.

It wasn't until Wu Xuan was completely on top of her and both of them were sweating profusely that Xu Qinghu pushed him away and said, "I should go back."

"Go back and continue kissing him?" Wu Xuan buried his head in her neck. "I'm obviously with you every day. As soon as he came, you were photographed by paparazzi. You even met with him alone in the room. If I don't keep an eye on you, will you really ignore me? Hmm?"

Seeing Xu Qinghu remained silent, Wu Xuan raised his hand and touched his ear, which had turned red from his sucking. "Speak."

Xu Qinghu stared at him coldly, "What do you want me to say?"

Wu Xuan: "What did you say?"

Xu Qinghu closed his eyes, "I can't break up with him now."

Wu Xuan chuckled, touched her nose with his nose, put his forehead against hers, and said sarcastically: "I didn't force you to break up."

He said quietly, "After all, I'm already a mistress. How can I force you to make a choice? As long as you look at me more and care for me more, it would be worth it even if I died."

Xu Qinghu: "..."

"Honey, please love me," he clung to Xu Qinghu like a puppy, his narrow eyes filled with dependence and pity, "I don't mind you dating him, as long as you have me in your heart."

He put his ear to Xu Qinghu's chest, as if trying to catch her heartbeat, "Your heartbeat is so fast."

Xu Qinghu: "..."

She didn't even bother to say anything, just watched him touching her all over, with no expression on her face.

"Just do it," she said, until he didn't let go for a long time. She realized that she couldn't really push him away anymore, so she said desperately, "As long as you're not afraid of death, you can just do it."

Looking at her cold and lonely appearance under the light, Wu Xuan held her hand, as if very happy, "Really?"

Xu Qinghu deliberately put her hand under his clothes, but Wu Xuan held her down. "Are you willing to do this just to go back and see him?"

Xu Qinghu's face was full of provocation: "What else?"

Wu Xuan's eyes darkened again, and the strong hatred made him pull Xu Qinghu's clothes. The next second, there was a knock on the door.

The two men froze, and Xu Qinghu took the opportunity to push Wu Xuan away, quickly put on his clothes, and covered his red ears with his hair, but did not go to open the door.

The knock on the door rang twice, and when there was no movement in the house, the footsteps finally faded away.

Xu Qinghu didn't bring her cell phone when she came out, so she didn't know who was outside, but she couldn't stay here for long.

She looked back at Wu Xuan, who was naked and pressed against her back. "Why are you leaving? Isn't it over yet?"

Xu Qinghu ignored him, opened the door and walked out quickly.

The corridor was empty and I didn't know who was knocking on the door.

Wu Xuan stood at the door, staring at her intently, but he didn't let her come back. The close contact just now made him regain a little bit of the feeling of being in love. The anger and resentment in his heart were not so obvious. However, the eyes he looked at Xu Qinghu were still deep and bottomless, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

Xu Qinghu opened the door and found that He Shengnian had already left.

Probably because he saw that she hadn't come back for a long time, he went back to his room.

She did not go to find He Shengnian immediately, but took a shower, picked up her phone and sent a message to He Shengnian, saying that she had just returned from rehearsing and it was getting late, so she needed to rest first.

He Shengnian did not pursue the matter. Instead, he asked her to take care of herself and took her out for breakfast the next morning.

As soon as Xu Qinghu put down her phone, Sister Cao called and said that He Shengnian was very anxious because he couldn't find her and asked her where she had been.

Xu Qinghu didn't tell anyone about Wu Xuan's visit to the film and television base. Sister Cao was anxious to find her just now, and accidentally knocked on Wu Xuan's door, which could be considered as a way to help her out.

"I didn't go anywhere," Xu Qinghu said calmly, "Someone asked me to discuss the script, so I went out for a walk."

"Okay then," Xu Qinghu had a great idea. Sister Cao didn't ask any further questions, but simply said, "Then be careful. There are a lot of paparazzi around the hotel lately. Don't get photographed with anyone of the opposite sex other than Mr. He."

"I know." Xu Qinghu hesitated for a moment and asked her, "Do you know who lives across the street from us?"

"Aren't you a crew member?" Sister Cao said, "I was just knocking on the door looking for you."

Xu Qinghu lowered his eyelashes. "Is that so? Then I understand."

Wu Xuan came to see her and specially booked the room opposite. He must have arranged an identity for himself as a crew member so that he could get away with it. Otherwise, he would be discovered sooner or later.

It was hateful, but also made her speechless.

"Oh, right," Sister Cao said, "Your part in the crew is almost over, and you'll be going to the crew of 'Snow, Moon, Smoke and Dust' next. You should get ready first, they're urging you."

"good."

Xu Qinghu hung up the phone and looked at himself in the mirror with swollen lips and fat ears. He wanted to beat Wu Xuan up.

But every time she got angry, he would let her touch his legs, and once she touched his legs, she would no longer be angry.

Xu Qinghu thought that after the breakup, she would no longer be soft-hearted towards him, but his pitiful look made her want to comfort him reflexively.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

She turned back to the bed and covered her face with the quilt to prevent herself from immersing herself in the weirdness that had just happened.

He wanted to die, so why should she consider him?

Wouldn't it be better to just let him die?

The next day, He Shengnian got up and called her to eat, and drove her to a famous dim sum restaurant nearby.

Seeing her eyelids darken slightly, He Shengnian asked with concern: "Didn't you get enough rest?"

"I went to bed a little late," Xu Qinghu poured himself a cup of morning tea and said with a smile: "I have been busy with filming recently. If you have time today, you can go and watch me filming."

"Of course," He Shengnian said smoothly, "I took leave to come here just to be your assistant."

Xu Qinghu chuckled: "Then you'll probably find the set boring."

He Shengnian put a bun on her plate and said, "I'll bring my computer and work with you."

Xu Qinghu: "Aren't you taking a break?"

"There are still some things I need to make decisions on," He Shengnian explained. "I have to hold meetings occasionally, but it's not a complete break."

"So this is your partner's day off," Xu Qinghu deliberately teased, "Eating New Year's Eve dinner in winter, you wouldn't be so busy, would you?"

He Shengnian shook his head and laughed, "I'm not busy enough yet."

"Then you're busy," Xu Qinghu said, "I'll come over to accompany you after I finish filming."

"good."

After dinner, He Shengnian went to the crew with her.

What we are going to shoot today is that the male and female protagonists find out the whereabouts of the Sword of Immortality, but they are chased by the underworld and surrounded by killers. The mysterious girl appears in time and saves them from danger again.

The fighting scenes this time were very intense, and the martial arts director did a lot of preparation with Xu Qinghu before filming, striving to make her fights as bloody and violent as possible.

In today's TV dramas, fighting scenes are usually just a stream of consciousness, but the author of Changshengjian is extremely demanding. Not only does she personally select the director and actors, she also has a say in other aspects, and the fighting effects are also strongly recommended by her.

In order to restore the content of the novel as much as possible, the crew spent a lot of time and effort to arrange the scenes and strive to do their best.

After Xu Qinghu changed into his costume and put on makeup, he came to the camera with a sword. At this time, the male and female protagonists had already fallen to the ground. A dozen killers in black surrounded them and were about to take away the clues on their bodies.

Xu Qinghu came from the air hanging on a wire, and with one sword she deflected the killer's attack. Her figure was as light as a lone wild goose, and she fought with the killer with ease. Her figure was graceful, but the sword light was full of murderous intent, and her pair of cold eyes seemed like the incarnation of a cold sword.

In a short moment, all the turbid air in the world can be cleared away.

Xu Qinghu swung his sword with great force, which seemed like a fist hitting flesh. When the blades crossed, the sword body trembled, which made the people watching excited.

The martial arts director stood behind the director, looking at her neat and decisive fighting scenes, with a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes.

Although "The Sword of Immortality" is a commercial film, the original novel is very exciting. Finding the sword of immortality that can give people eternal life is the dream of almost all people in the world. It is rumored that the sword of immortality can not only make people immortal, but there is also a set of martial arts secrets in the hilt, which can easily reach the pinnacle of martial arts and become the best in the world.

People in the martial arts world yearn for it, and the major sects rack their brains for clues. The hero and heroine found a map in the secret room of the ancient tomb and prepared to go to the isolated island on the sea. During the journey, they encountered various difficulties. With the help of the mysterious girl and relatives and friends, they finally uncovered the secret of the Changsheng Sword.

Since the original novel is quite long, the director plans to shoot the first part first, and if the benefits are good, he will continue to shoot the remaining parts.

After the fight scene, Xu Qinghu landed on the ground as lightly as a flying swan on the snow. He looked at the hero and heroine on the ground, his face still expressionless, but his eyes were filled with a hint of mockery.

"Cut!" The director stood up and said with a smile: "Passed."

He looked at Xu Qinghu with obvious admiration in his eyes. Being able to perform the fighting scenes in one take was something that many veteran actors couldn't do, but Xu Qinghu, a newcomer, did it so well. He couldn't help but be more optimistic about her future.

"How do you feel?" He walked over to Xu Qinghu and said sincerely, "If you like this role, I'll talk to the screenwriter and give you more scenes."

The role of Xu Qinghu can be said to be the most exquisite in the Changsheng Sword. Coupled with the actor's seriousness, he couldn't help but feel a sense of cherishing his talent.

"Thank you, Director," Xu Qinghu said with a smile, "I've read the original novel. The reason the mysterious girl's role is so brilliant is because she has so few scenes, so there's no need for extra scenes."

Hearing this, the director felt that she was even more rare and immediately said, "Then in the next movie, I will reserve a role with more scenes for you."

It seems that he wants to work with Xu Qinghulu.

After all, most directors are willing to work again with actors who are good-looking, have good acting skills, and are full of ideas.

"Thank you," Xu Qinghu said with a smile, "I'd certainly like to join the group again if I have the chance."

As he spoke, He Shengnian walked over and looked at Xu Qinghu with a burning gaze: "You are very different when you act."

Seeing this, the director wanted to smile and give the space to the two of them.

"What's different?" Xu Qinghu took the cup of water he handed over. "Have you become more beautiful?"

"Well," he pulled Xu Qinghu to sit on the chair, looking at her flushed cheeks, obviously tired, and wiping the sweat from the tip of her nose with a tissue with concern, "Are you very tired?"

"It's not bad," Xu Qinghu's eyes curved, "Work is always hard."

"But when you work, your whole body glows." He Shengnian looked at her deeply. "I heard you say you wanted to be an actor before, but I didn't know much about it. It wasn't until today that I realized you have a natural talent for acting."

"Really?" Xu Qinghu blinked at him and said with a smile: "Have I charmed Mr. He?"

"Of course," He Shengnian said sweetly, "I'm deeply fascinated by you."

After saying this, he was almost uncontrollable. He lowered his eyes and kissed her forehead, then said slowly: "Thank you for letting me get to know you."

Xu Qinghu didn't avoid his movements. Instead, she waited until he finished kissing her before saying, "So, when would Mr. He be willing to let me come over and watch you work?"

"Anytime." He Shengnian said with a smile: "If you like, you can come to the office with me every day."

"Will you let me be your assistant?" Xu Qinghu said, "Let's have an office romance."

The smile in He Shengnian's eyes deepened, "I'm happy to accompany you."

"Forget it," Xu Qinghu wrinkled his nose and said cutely, "I still like being an actor."

"It's up to you," He Shengnian looked at her lovingly, "You can do anything as long as you like."

His eyes were like the deep sea, gentle and tolerant. "I will be behind you and be your strongest support."

Xu Qinghu smiled brightly, "Boss He, do you want to be my good wife?"

He Shengnian smiled, took her soft hand and squeezed it gently, "I do."

Her hands were smooth and white, like a ball of cotton, making him unable to let go.

Xu Qinghu's fingertips stroked his palm. He Shengnian's eyes darkened. He could hardly control the urge to kiss her and moved closer to her again.

This time he didn't kiss her eyebrows, but the corner of her lips.

"Hulu," came the concerned voice of the assistant behind him, "The wait for the next scene is a bit long, do you want something to eat?"

He Shengnian paused and looked back at the young assistant. The other party was looking at Xu Qinghu with concern, seemingly unaware that he had disturbed their good thing.

"Sure," Xu Qinghu smiled and listed a few dishes. "Please help me and Mr. He prepare lunch."

The assistant nodded and turned to take the order.

He Shengnian looked at her helplessly and sighed: "When you are with me, you are always disturbed."

Especially when he wants to go further, someone will come to find Xu Qinghu.

Last night he was an actor in the crew, and today he is an assistant. It seems like there is a mysterious force that doesn't want them to get too close.

"Is Mr. He complaining to me?" Xu Qinghu asked with a smile.

He Shengnian didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Xu Qinghu snorted softly, stood up and kissed him lightly on the side of his face, "Okay, my dear CEO, don't let these things affect your mood."

"I'm not angry," He Shengnian squeezed her hand tightly, looking at her rosy lips with a dark look in his eyes, "I just don't want anyone to disturb us."

He has a desire for Xu Qinghu, and this desire will continue to deepen as he gets to know her better, making him want to have more intimate contact with her.

He knew that he was a mature man and it was normal for him to have thoughts about his girlfriend, but he was more afraid of scaring Xu Qinghu.

"We still have plenty of time," Xu Qinghu said with a twinkle in his eyes. "Why is Mr. He so anxious? Am I going to run away?"

After saying that, she scratched He Shengnian's palm again, and leaned her head lightly on his arm, looking like she was very dependent on him.

He Shengnian's heart moved slightly, and he kissed her face again.

After lunch, Xu Qinghu continued filming until the evening, when he finished his day's work and went out to eat with He Shengnian.

She changed into a lilac short skirt, revealing her slender neck and beautiful collarbone. Her long and soft legs emitted a bright glow under the street lights, so beautiful that it made people lose their souls.

After dinner, the two walked back to the hotel hand in hand and were photographed by paparazzi again. The handsome man and beautiful woman looked so perfect that people could only say that they were a perfect match.

When they reached the door of the room, He Shengnian wanted to go in and talk to her, but Xu Qinghu yawned and said, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest first. I will miss you."

After saying that, she stood on tiptoe to kiss his chin. The man's breathing became heavier. His big hands squeezed her waist tightly, and he looked at her with a look of strong desire. "When you're done, I'll take you home to meet my family."

He said restrainedly: "Even if we don't get married now, we can get engaged first."

The more he interacted with Xu Qinghu, the more he wanted to settle their relationship, as if that way he could completely possess her.

"Okay." Xu Qinghu said with a smile: "I hope uncle and aunt will like me."

He Shengnian raised his hand and touched her hair. "They already know you exist and are looking forward to seeing you."

Xu Qinghu lowered his eyelashes, "That's good."

The two separated at the door of the room. After he turned and walked away, Xu Qinghu opened the door and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

The room was dark. Just as she was about to raise her hand to find the light switch on the wall, she was suddenly hugged by a pair of strong hands.

The door was kicked shut, and she was greeted by the man's passionate kiss.

He lowered his head and silently enveloped her in an endless shadow. He kissed her while holding her tightly in his arms, his scorching breath seeming to burn her soul.

"Wu..."

Before Xu Qinghu could utter a word, he was picked up by him and strode towards the bedroom. This time Wu Xuan said nothing, as if he had suffered an unprecedented blow, and his whole body was terribly gloomy.

When they got into the house, Xu Qinghu fell awkwardly onto the bedding. Just as she was about to sit up, she was pinned down again. She opened her mouth to curse him, but all the words were swallowed the next second. Only her chest was heaving violently. The spasmodic suffocation made her kick reflexively, but the familiar touch made her fall into an unspeakable dream again.

"You dog..." she scolded angrily.

Her breathing became heavier, and her rationality became shallower and shallower. In the dim light, they were like two pitiful and hateful little insects, entangled tighter and tighter in the room, and no matter how they tore and struggled, they could not separate each other.

Not long after, the lilac short skirt she was wearing was thrown to the ground, and her hand touched Wu Xuan's leg again, as if she recalled some sweet and bitter memories. Even their eyes that looked at each other in the dark were unconsciously connected, and it was out of control.

The moment their breaths intertwined, Wu Xuan hugged her even harder, causing her to feel pain while she began to repeatedly beat his back and shoulders...

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a long time, until the lights outside dimmed, and he stopped and hugged her tightly in his arms.

The room was filled with an extremely ambiguous atmosphere.

Xu Qinghu closed her eyes and pinched the flesh on his waist hard, but she only felt the bulging abdominal muscles. She pinched a piece of flesh hard and twisted it without hesitation.

The man groaned, then chuckled in the crook of her neck: "Just strangle me to death. If you do, I'll turn into a ghost and haunt you day and night."

After saying that, he kissed Xu Qinghu's face randomly, especially her forehead and cheeks, as if to wash away the smell of another person.

Xu Qinghu moved his body and felt a wet mark on his neck in the dim light. He raised his hand to touch his face and found that he had been crying secretly.

"What are you doing?" She said in a hoarse voice: "You are pestering me, and you are wronged."

Wu Xuan buried his head in her chest and said nothing.

Perhaps only in the darkness, when she couldn't see his expression, could he reveal his truest emotions.

He was jealous, resentful, and heartbroken.

He felt like he was going to die if he didn't go to bed.

Xu Qinghu's fingers continued to touch his face, wiping away his tears with his fingertips, but more flowed out.

She moved the corners of her mouth, "He and I will not break up for the time being."

As soon as she finished speaking, she groaned, and the man on her began to toss her hard again.

It was not until late at night that he took her to the bathroom to clean up.

Wu Xuan's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at her with hatred, "If you don't break up with him, it won't affect me sleeping with you."

Xu Qinghu: "..."

Wu Xuan leaned close to her face and continued to kiss her until both of them felt stuffy in their chests, then he took her back to the room.

In the next few days, whenever He Shengnian approached Xu Qinghu, someone would act like crazy. After a brief struggle, Xu Qinghu easily accepted this relationship.

She enjoyed it anyway.

Rather than letting him go crazy in front of other people, it would be better for him to go crazy in front of her. At least it would be controllable.

On the day He Shengnian left, he took Xu Qinghu out for dinner. Halfway through the meal, he whispered, "The Qiao family is bankrupt."

Xu Qinghu was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "When did it happen?"

"The eldest son of the Qiao family was on his way to escape overseas this morning when he lost control of a truck and fell onto a river bridge while trying to smuggle the money. His life or death is unknown."

"Is it such a coincidence?" Xu Qinghu said solemnly, "He absconded with the money. What will happen to Qiao Qiao? And those employees of the Qiao family?"

He Shengnian shook his head and said calmly, "This is the Qiao family's business."

He didn't care about the Qiao family's fate at all, and was indifferent to Qiao Wanshu's situation. "From now on, they will never hurt you again."

He told her that he was treating this as a happy event to please her so that she wouldn't have to worry about the Qiao family anymore.

"Thank you for telling me this," Xu Qinghu raised his hand and held his fingertips. "If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have known this until a long time later."

Seeing her smile, He Shengnian was very pleased. "After I go back, I will come to see you after a while. If you have any questions, feel free to call me and I will take care of it."

"Okay." Xu Qinghu's eyes curved, "Then I'll have to continue to work hard for you, Mr. He."

After seeing He Shengnian off, Xu Qinghu returned to her busy filming schedule. She had already finished filming "The Immortal Sword" and joined the crew of "Snow, Moon, Smoke and Dust", playing the role of the proprietress of a rural store.

The script tells the story of a young man who has struggled in the city for many years and returned to the village because he could not stand the high-intensity work. After giving up, he found hope in life again.

The proprietress played by Xu Qinghu does not appear many times, but because of her beautiful appearance and bold personality, she has a strong presence in the whole play, and almost every appearance represents a transformation of the protagonist.

From lazy chatting to complaining to the boss lady about the hard work in the city, to regaining new life and saying goodbye to the boss lady, the character becomes more and more three-dimensional.

After all, the proprietress is like an NPC in the game, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. From being unlikable at the beginning to being reluctant to part with her later, the character becomes more and more full of vitality.

This is also the real reason why Xu Qinghu took on this script.

While she was busy, the Qiao family, which was on the verge of collapse, finally declared bankruptcy.

When Qiao Xicheng was escaping with the money, he drove his car off a river bridge. Because he did not receive timely medical treatment, he has become an unconscious vegetable.

The Qiao family is insolvent, and coupled with Qiao Xicheng's heinous act of absconding with the money, not only is the Qiao family at the end of their rope, but they also have to continue to repay the remaining debts.

At that time, Qiao Wanshu moved out of the luxurious villa, and all her jewelry, expensive clothes and shoes were replaced with ordinary items. The money from the sales was used to pay the overdue employee wages and various debts.

Qiao's father and mother worked hard for half their lives, but they didn't expect to end up like this. They were so angry that they both fell ill in bed.

Qiao Wanshu hid in the dim and dilapidated rental house, looking at Qiao Xicheng lying on the bed. The unprecedented helplessness almost drowned her.

How could this happen? She looked at herself in the mirror. She had lived a glamorous life for more than 20 years, so how could she end up like this?

Her home was gone, her brother had become a vegetative state requiring care for everything from eating, drinking, and defecating to urinating, and her parents were seriously ill and depressed. In the huge house, she was the only one still alive, the only one who could still think.

A family reduced to ashes, countless debts, and family members who are like a burden.

Just thinking about her makes me feel suffocated.

The dodder lost its support, just like its spine was broken, and it could only wither and die in the darkness and despair.

Qiao Wanshu squatted on the ground. She even had to ask her old friend for a loan for tomorrow's meal. She abandoned all her self-respect and called the other party. Although she borrowed the money, the other party was very secretive. "Qiao Qiao, I know you are having a hard time now, but we are no longer in the same class. I can help you once, but I can't help you every time. Consider this money a gift from me. Don't call me again in the future. My family will be unhappy."

Without waiting for her to answer, the person on the other end immediately hung up, as if he was afraid that she would continue to pester him.

Qiao Wanshu's breathing was sluggish. The repeated psychological torture made her almost crazy. Looking at the message from her bank card, she wanted to smash her phone to the ground, but she couldn't bear to do it. She could only hug his shoulders and cry silently.

She knew her life was over.

If her brother were still conscious, the family might have a chance to make a comeback, but now her parents are seriously ill and her brother is in a coma. All the burdens of the family fall on her. What should she do?

What can she do?

At this moment, a photo of He Shengnian visiting Xu Qinghu on the set popped up on the phone, with the two holding hands and hugging each other in the restaurant. The woman in the white dress was extremely beautiful, and was being held by the man lovingly, as if she was the only one seen in the world.

The sun was so bright, as if all the luck had descended upon her.

Xu Qinghu.

It’s all Xu Qinghu’s fault.

She cursed and abused the other person madly in her heart. If she hadn't competed with herself for He Shengnian, if she hadn't been so scheming and unscrupulous, how could she have ended up like this?

Why is she so proud? Why doesn’t she just die immediately!

There was a fierce light in Qiao Wanshu's eyes. If looks could kill, she would have killed Xu Qinghu countless times.

But when she raised her head and smelled the stale and decaying smell in the room and the foul odor on Qiao Xicheng's body, she was unable to say anything.

By the way, she also has to change clothes for her brother, make lunch for her parents, and go out to find a job today. She has a lot of things to do.

Everything is inseparable from her.

When Qiao Wanshu thought that Qiao Xicheng would be unconscious in bed for the rest of his life and would never wake up again, he finally woke up one early morning.

Qiao Wanshu and his parents cried with joy and surrounded him to ask about his situation.

Qiao Xicheng sat up from the bed, looking at his elderly parents and his pitiful and helpless sister. He learned that the Qiao family had gone bankrupt and they still had huge debts to repay. His eyes changed instantly and he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, we can definitely pay it off."

He coughed lightly a few times and huddled weakly on the single bed. His tall figure suddenly became much shorter, but Qiao Wanshu and his parents were very happy that he woke up.

They all need Qiao Xicheng as the backbone who can support all responsibilities.

His parents were old, and no matter how much they tried, they couldn't turn the tide. But Qiao Xicheng was still young, smart, and knew how to be moderate. As long as he was around, even if they couldn't go back to their old days, they wouldn't be living too badly.

But they all forgot that the reason Qiao Xicheng had a car accident was because he had planned to run away with the money. When he did this, he did not inform them in advance, but wanted to smuggle overseas alone.

Seeing the tears on Qiao Wanshu's face, Qiao Xicheng raised his hand to touch her dry hair and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm here, I will protect you."

Qiao Wanshu burst into tears and threw herself into Qiao Xicheng's arms.

After crying together, the family began to think about how to change the situation at home.

Qiao Xicheng was quick-witted and immediately set his sights on Qiao Wanshu.

"Brother," Qiao Wanshu blinked uneasily and said softly, "I've found a job teaching piano to children. It pays about eight thousand a month, plus some part-time jobs. Besides paying off our debts, as long as we don't buy expensive luxury goods, life won't be too difficult."

She pursed her lips and suggested, "In a few days, you and Mom and Dad can find a job, and we can slowly pay off our debts. Then things will be easier."

She has a high level of education, and her appearance and personality are both pleasing. If she can try to let go of her identity as a young lady and accept her ordinary life, she may be able to live a good life.

But Qiao Xicheng's gaze followed her face and fell on her slightly rough hands. He could not hide his self-blame and said, "Your hands are all burned."

Qiao Wanshu put his hands behind his back and explained with a pale face: "I have to cook for my parents every day, I..."

After leaving her wealthy life, she had too many things to do, and without expensive cosmetics for her to use, she looked much more haggard. She usually didn't even dare to look in the mirror, and would secretly shed tears when she touched the scars on the back of her hands at night.

But she had no choice but to grit her teeth and hold on.

Qiao Xicheng held her hand, looked at it carefully, and said meaningfully: "How can your hands do such rough work? Brother will not let you suffer any more."

Qiao Wanshu's tears fell, "Brother..."

Qiao Xicheng patted her shoulder and said, "Take good care of yourself at home these few days. I'll find you a new job."

Qiao Wanshu thought of Qiao Xicheng's connections and immediately smiled with tears in his eyes, "Okay."

Not long after the filming of "The Sword of Immortality" was completed, the filming of "Snow, Moon, Smoke and Dust" was also completed.

Because of Xu Qinghu's outstanding performance, the director brought several crew members to hold a small wrap-up party for her.

The group had a meal in a five-star hotel. The director was a simple and gentle middle-aged lady. She took Xu Qinghu's hand and said that she would tailor a script for her in the future and let her play the female lead.

Xu Qinghu held her hand back, smiled and nodded in agreement.

During the meal, Xu Qinghu drank some extra tea and went to the bathroom. When he came back, he passed by the private room next door. From the slightly open door, he heard loud cheering sounds, mixed with a woman's flattering laughter. The voice sounded familiar, but it was not clear in the noisy environment.

Xu Qinghu didn't take it to heart and went back to eat.

Not long after, the group came out of the private room and were about to leave the hotel when they suddenly heard the sounds of clothes being torn and a woman crying from the next room.

"Damn it! Why are you crying? You're a prostitute, and you think you're a decent woman!"

The rough and cold male voice made everyone frown.

"Let's go," someone whispered, "I guess some rich young man is looking for her to drink with him."

"That's too rude," the director said unhappily, "How can you do that in a restaurant?"

"Isn't this normal?" The assistant director held her hand. "You've been in this industry for so many years, haven't you gotten used to it yet? From her voice, I can tell she's doing this voluntarily."

The sound of clothes being torn continued, as did the sound of slapping bodies. "Take off your skirt yourself. We'll have some fun with you tonight. If you serve us well, we'll give you more money. If not, don't blame us for not being gentle with you."

"Look at your body, you are indeed a young lady. Your breasts and legs are much better than those outsiders."

Xu Qinghu walked in the aisle and could still clearly hear the movement inside. The woman was sobbing, as if asking for help, but the laughter of those men was like a dark cloud hanging over her head, covering up her weak struggle.

Until someone pressed a cigarette butt against her chest, she finally screamed and wailed loudly, struggling to leave the private room, and then the sound of brutal kicking and beating was heard.

“Help! Help!”

The woman cried loudly, trying to escape from these demons, but the door that was right in front of her was actually a thousand feet away from her.

"Help--"

"Someone come and save me——"

Tears burst out of her eyes, and the intense despair left her with only the instinct to survive.

She knew that if she didn't leave tonight, she would be killed by these people. She didn't want to die. She didn't want to be tortured by these scumbags. She regretted so much. Why did she listen to her brother? Why did she think this was a normal blind date?

This is clearly a betrayal.

A tragedy that can never be undone.

She could die, she could accept her family going bankrupt, but she could not accept such humiliation.

Help! Help!

Qiao Wanshu wanted to shout for help, but she was slapped several times, almost knocking her unconscious.

"What are you yelling for!" Someone pulled her hair. "I don't know how many times you've been sold? Why are you pretending to be a chaste heroine?"

Qiao Wanshu's nose and face were swollen, and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth. She collapsed naked on the cold ground like a toy. Someone dragged her legs up, grabbed her neck and pressed her hard against the wall.

She couldn't move.

She hated it to the core.

Just when all the men gathered around, the door was kicked open from the outside!

Everyone stopped moving. Qiao Wanshu endured the severe pain and looked up, thinking he would see a familiar figure.

"Yes, who is it, is it my brother..."

It must be her brother who came back to save her.

She seemed to have lost her mind, murmuring in a daze: "Brother, brother..."

It was indeed a figure she was very familiar with, but it was definitely not Qiao Xicheng.
