"Don't worry, it won't be worse than it is now."
Liu Rulan comforted Xiao He in this way.
Xiao He: "...That's true."
After recounting this, Xiao He fell into a brief silence.
Should he take the initiative to ask Sister Liu about Tong Junhui?
"Is there anything else?" Liu Rulan noticed Xiao He's unusual behavior first. "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
"Uh, it's nothing." Xiao He hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask directly, "Sister Liu, do you know that Tian Heng used to have dealings with Tong Junhui?"
Liu Rulan's tone instantly turned cold: "What did someone say to you?"
"No, no..." Xiao He thought for a moment, then casually passed the buck to Tian Heng, "It's just that Tian Heng seems to have lost his job as an agent, so he tried to say a few sarcastic things to me, nothing else."
"Hmph, that guy, I let him off the hook back then, but he still couldn't control his mouth." Liu Rulan snorted lightly, "It seems I still have to teach him a lesson."
"So Sister Liu knows that Tian Heng and Tong Junhui had a relationship back then?"
"That's natural."
Liu Rulan sat on the sofa, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window with a blank expression, and gave a sarcastic sneer.
"As Tong Junhui's agent, how could I not know..."
...
"You're insane!"
Liu Rulan shook off the man's hand and looked coldly at the person in front of her, "I didn't know you had the guts to touch this thing!"
"Sister, sister, I was really wrong."
Tong Junhui knelt in front of her, holding one of her legs, his face filled with pain.
"I really just wanted to know what Tian Heng was trying to do. I never imagined he would try to harm me!"
"I already warned you not to associate with those guys." Liu Rulan pulled her leg out and sat down next to him, then curled her lips in a mocking smile. "What? Seeing their popularity soaring while you're still steadily working as an actress, are you feeling resentful?"
"Sister Liu, I really didn't."
Tong Junhui tried his best to defend himself, but Liu Rulan just looked at him expressionlessly, without any emotion.
"Sister Liu, only you can save me now! I can't go a day without food, please help me find a way! I'm begging you! You've been in this industry for so many years, you must have connections, right?" Tong Junhui crawled in front of Liu Rulan, his face pleading. "Sister Liu, it's not poison, just some medicine, there won't be any problems! I know many people abroad eat this stuff like candy, as long as you have connections with doctors, they'll write prescriptions easily, you must have a way, I'm begging you—"
"Tong Junhui, you shut the hell up!"
Liu Rulan was so angry that she started cursing. If it weren't for the upcoming announcement, she would have slapped the other person across the face to wake him up.
"What's the difference between this stuff and drugs? Once you've had it, you want a second time; once you've had it, you want it countless times." Liu Rulan wanted to throw the criminal code in his face. "Besides, do you think I can just buy this stuff because I found a channel for you? I'm here to be a broker, not a drug dealer. You want to die? I don't want to go to jail!"
"But, but I'm already like this!"
Tong Junhui covered his face and sat on the ground, feeling utterly powerless.
"Sister Liu, I'm in so much pain. I feel like ants are crawling all over my body—or maybe I should go abroad, Sister Liu. Don't you have a way to go abroad? You sent Shu Han abroad back then, why don't you send me too? Let's go abroad and develop our careers! Let's go to one of the neighboring countries—no, anywhere is fine. I'm sure I can make it again, as long as I—"
Liu Rulan stared at him coldly, cruelly interrupting him: "You should leave the entertainment industry."
Tong Junhui's words were stuck in his throat.
He looked at Liu Rulan in disbelief: "Sister Liu, are you really that heartless to make me retire from the entertainment industry?"
"I'm informing you."
"Now, right now, get up and stand up straight. In a few days, it will be the day you receive your award. Look at yourself now, where is your demeanor as a Best Actor?" Liu Rulan said each word seriously and coldly. "You have no choice but to leave this industry now. If you still consider me your sister, then obediently leave the industry and go quit."
"Of course, you can also go to Tian Heng and his group and beg them to give you a channel, willing to be their dogs for life."
Tong Junhui murmured, then lowered his head in anguish.
"Tong Junhui, where is your dignity? Don't make me look down on you," Liu Rulan said calmly. "Think about it carefully."
