Qin Wei's casual remark made Jin Yining pause in her phone call.

His phone was off when he called this afternoon, and although it's on now, no one is answering.

The phone might be off because it's on a plane.

Jin Yining gripped her phone tightly, suddenly realizing that her worries were somewhat unnecessary.

"Aren't you going to get lost? Wait until tomorrow's headline is 'Qin Wei and Jin Yining go over the script together in the middle of the night?'" Jin Yining tossed aside her phone and looked at Qin Wei.

Qin Wei could sense his sudden agitation.

The person you like likes someone else.

“Then it’s also possible she’s playing games.” Qin Wei offered another idea, walking out with his script tucked under his arm. “By the way, I noticed today that there are actually some voices speaking up for Ning Kong. They’re mostly academics, but their voices are too soft to be noticed. Let’s find a way to amplify those voices; maybe that can help her.”

Jin Yining watched Qin Wei leave, but Qin Wei gave him an idea.

Since Shang Ning has gone to find He Zhiyan, he shouldn't need to worry.

She wanted to help Ning Kong get justice, but in this circle, it's not so easy to get a clear conscience.

Before the incident, the best solution he could think of was to divorce Ning Kong, so that she would stop having expectations and perhaps she could gradually return to her normal life, and the public would slowly forget about her.

Perhaps his mistake from the beginning was not taking action as soon as he realized Ning Kong had feelings for him.

Jin Yining quickly learned that Shang Ning was indeed with He Zhiyan, because as long as there was buzz, there was no way to miss him on Weibo.

It was Teddy Bear's Happy Sheep who posted on Weibo that Ning Kong went to B University and kept pestering He Zhiyan. Ning Kong shamelessly pestered He Zhiyan, who was extremely annoyed and couldn't get rid of him no matter what he did.

With marketing accounts stirring up the hype, it was hard for Jin Yining not to be noticed.

Jin Yining's expression changed, and she immediately took the clothes and went out.

Shang Ning and He Zhiyan were still on the playground when He Zhiyan's mother, Professor An Li from the School of Literature, walked over. Shang Ning was the first to see her. She subconsciously wanted to call her "Auntie," but only received a tolerant look from An Li.

An Li came over and glanced at Shang Ning with a restrained look in her eyes, but this made it all the clearer.

“Zhiyan, your dad and I need to talk to you. Let’s go home.” Anli said, pulling her son away.

He Zhiyan looked at Shang Ning, who bit her lip and nodded slightly. "Professor He, then I won't bother you any longer."

As Shang Ning spoke, she turned and left, as if she were fleeing.

She couldn't bear to face An Li's disgusted gaze. Anyone could hate Ning Kong, but she shouldn't.

Shang Ning walked quickly, but when he passed by the family compound, he saw the director he was looking for talking to someone at the door.

An elderly man with a cane was on his phone, saying, "Hurry up, hurry up, what's the rush? I've already solved the problem for you, why are you still rushing me?"

A grumpy old man was seen getting into a car and leaving from a short distance away. The director only turned back after seeing the man off.

"Director Yao," Shang Ning called out hurriedly.

The director turned around and looked at the woman who was approaching. He didn't recognize her, but he could roughly guess. "She's here for Zhiyan, isn't she?"

Shang Ning nodded hurriedly, "Director Yao, actually Professor He..."

The director raised his hand slightly. "You don't need to explain to me. Just focus on the competition. Strength is always more powerful than words, no matter what."

Shang Ning: "..."

Shang Ning watched the director leave, then looked at the car that had just driven away, feeling that something was amiss.
