Chapter 158 The Coal Boss's Dark Moonlight 26
Because the art troupe still needed to be handed over, Shen Xinran bought a train ticket to Shanghai a week later.
But since I have told Zhou Yaoqi about the divorce, it is not appropriate to live here anymore.
So after she got up the next day, she started packing her luggage, planning to stay at He Hongxia's place for a few days.
When it was time to leave, Shen Xinran took out the divorce agreement she had prepared long ago and handed it to Zhou Yaoqi. "I've already signed it. I'm leaving the house with nothing. I don't want anything."
Zhou Yaoqi said nothing, silently took the agreement, and helped Shen Xinran move the luggage.
When He Hongxia learned that Chen Xinran was divorced, she blushed with anger, "I think your ambition is higher than the sky, but your life is more fragile than paper."
Even Zhao Pengbo couldn't help but pout, "Brother-in-law is so good to you, why are you so ungrateful!"
Seeing everyone blaming him, Shen Xinran frowned slightly and responded calmly: "I'll only stay here for a week. If you don't welcome me, I can move out."
Seeing Shen Xinran taking her luggage and leaving, He Hongxia softened her heart again. She held Shen Xinran's hand and sighed, "Mom is worried about you. Do you think being a star is that easy? Do you think it's that easy to make a living in a big city?"
A week passed quickly, and Zhao Pengbo was responsible for sending Shen Xinran to the train station, but Shen Xinran saw Zhou Yaoqi before getting on the train.
In the noisy train station, with people coming and going, he stood there quietly, staring at her intently, as if he had come just to wait for her.
The moment Zhao Pengbo saw Zhou Yaoqi, he put down his suitcase and left quietly.
Shen Xinran felt mixed emotions. She took a deep breath, pulled her suitcase, and walked up to Zhou Yaoqi.
Zhou Yaoqi reached out and tidied up Shen Xinran's messy hair. He said softly, "I've already taken care of the divorce. Remember to take good care of yourself in Shanghai."
Zhou Yaoqi's voice was steady and gentle, and Shen Xinran's eyes reddened inexplicably. She nodded and whispered back, "You have to be well even if you're alone."
Zhou Yaoqi took out another bank card and said with a faint smile, "The password is your birthday."
Shen Xinran quickly waved her hands and insisted, "No need, we agreed that I will leave the house."
But Zhou Yaoqi stuffed the bank card into Shen Xinran's bag without caring, and said in a deep voice: "You spend a lot of money there, so you'd better take it with you."
Hearing Zhou Yaoqi say this, Shen Xinran was moved, tears welled up in her eyes, "Thank you."
Zhou Yaoqi gently hugged Shen Xinran into his arms and said with a faint smile: "Silly girl, what are you thanking me for?"
As the train whistle gradually sounded, Shen Xinran took a deep breath, slowly let go of his hand, picked up the suitcase, and walked towards the train.
The moment she turned around, tears welled up in her eyes.
Zhou Yaoqi stood quietly there, watching the train slowly leave the platform. Only when it disappeared from his sight did he turn around and leave silently.
Because of the movie's popularity, the company paid much attention to Shen Xinran and even arranged a small villa for him. But Shen Xinran knew that such treatment would not last long.
In the next three years, the dramas she filmed were all lukewarm, and the villa would become an apartment, and then a single room.
When Shen Xinran was packing her luggage, she found the bank card Zhou Yaoqi had given her. Curious, she checked it and was immediately stunned by the string of zeros after the balance.
Did Zhou Yaoqi give her half of his fortune? As expected of a coal boss, he's so generous! Even if she doesn't have any movies to shoot in the future, she can still enjoy the best quality of life.
Zhou Yaoqi's caring attitude made Shen Xinran's eyes red again. If Zhou Yaoqi was not so nice to her, she would not have any psychological burden, but why was Zhou Yaoqi so nice to her!
…
Time flies, three years have passed quietly, and the memories have become blurred.
At the entrance of Huaxing KTV, a middle-aged man in a leather jacket warned the two young women in front of him, "Remember, the people sitting in box 306 are either big names in the film and television industry or tycoons in the business world. You'd better be smart when you go in later."
One of the women was Shen Xinran. She had loose black hair, a dark blue suspender top on her upper body, and tight jeans on her lower body.
Since coming to Shanghai, her acting career has been tepid, and this year she had no work at all. Fortunately, with the money Zhou Yaoqi gave her, she was able to live a relatively good life.
It is common for producers in the entertainment industry to invite a few young celebrities to join them when they want to solicit sponsorship.
This wasn't the first time Zhang Chen had asked Shen Xinran to come over, but she had never agreed. After all, she wasn't short of money. She agreed this time because it was time to move on from the plot.
Zhao Shiqian, known for her single persona in the entertainment industry, is trying to find a wealthy second-generation man. While serving as a bartender, she unexpectedly meets Zhou Yaoqi. Fearing that he might reveal their past marriage, Zhao Shiqian belittles and warns him.
What Zhao Shiqian didn't know was that Zhou Yaoqi had already successfully won the bid and built Shanghai's newest luxury garden house by virtue of his rise in the real estate industry.
When Zhao Shiqian learned Zhou Yaoqi's true identity from her agent, she regretted it and tried to apologize to Zhou Yaoqi, hoping to reconcile, but Zhou Yaoqi already had another girl in his heart.
The fact that this girl knew Zhou Yaoqi was also due to Zhao Shiqian's help. It was because Zhao Shiqian was belittling Zhou Yaoqi that the girl spoke up for him, which led to Zhou Yaoqi's attraction to the girl. Thinking of this, Shen Xinran couldn't help but sigh. Zhao Shiqian had to pay for all the evil she had done!
She took so much money from Zhou Yaoqi, how could she say such vicious words!
But if she didn't say it, there would be no handover between the male and female protagonists.
Zhang Chen frowned at Shen Xinran's nonchalant demeanor. "Zhao Shiqian, especially you. Can't you be more humble? Do you still think you're the Zhao Shiqian who was so popular three years ago? Directors are willing to give you roles just by mentioning your name. You haven't had a hit drama in the past three years. You'd better look for the reason within yourself."
Shen Xinran glanced at her newly bought bracelet and pursed her lips. "If they don't like the drama I filmed, that's their fault, not my problem."
Zhang Chen said angrily, "Wake up! The world has changed. You're no longer popular. If you don't seize the opportunity, you'll be replaced by a newcomer sooner or later. Remember Jiang Ying, who was in the same drama with you? She got a supporting role in an S-rated costume drama by clinging to the producer's influence."
Shen Xinran smiled and said, "Brother Chen, if you have time to care about me, you should pay more attention to yourself. I heard that my sister-in-law is about to give birth to her second child. Have you earned enough money for milk powder?"
Zhang Chen's face turned red instantly, and he felt quite angry and embarrassed.
He could only look at the other woman and curse, "And you? Didn't I tell you we'd have a big boss today? Why are you wearing this? Who would want to see you wrapped up like this? Even the old ladies from the Qing Dynasty weren't as feudal as you!"
When the woman heard Zhang Chen's words, she lowered her head in grievance, tears streaming down her cheeks. Seeing her pitiful appearance, even Shen Xinran softened her heart.
