Qi Shuo's heart seemed to suddenly feel empty, as if the girl who loved to laugh and make trouble in his memory had been lost by him.
Xia He suddenly realized that her love for this man had gilded him, and she always felt that he was good in every way.
But today, when she saw him letting Tang Yue face all the doubts and pressure alone, she realized the selfishness of this man.
He doesn't love her, nor does he love Tang Yue. What he loves most is himself.
For the next period of time, Xia He devoted herself to her work.
During this period, Qi Shuo and Old Man Xia tried to find her many times, but she refused to meet them.
Without love and men, her career is obviously smoother.
The new movie received unanimous praise as soon as it was released. Xia He's movie pictorials became a best-seller across the country, and even her personal poster New Year picture was printed.
In a short time, Xia He's name became a household name.
When people are happy, there are also people who are worried. Qi Shuo no longer has Xia He to fight for roles for him, and many opportunities that were originally suitable for him have been snatched away by other people.
However, because he was not in good shape, he made frequent performance mistakes. After a lot of effort, one of his movies was aired, but the response was mediocre and it didn't make any splash at all.
If he can't regain his rhythm and form in time, he will be replaced by a newcomer soon.
Qi Shuo looked at the posters of Xia He all over the streets, and he could not hide his disappointment. She was the one who once stood shoulder to shoulder with him, but now he could not reach her.
"Brother Shuo, are you willing? Are you willing to become her foil?"
Tang Yue took advantage of Qi Shuo's frustration and cared about him, and finally won the man's heart.
Qi Shuo smiled bitterly: "She is originally a star in the sky, why should she be unwilling?"
Tang Yue's eyes were sinister. Are they stars in the sky?
"I want her to be reduced to mud on the bottom of my shoes..."
Half a month later was Xia He's mother's birthday, and Xia He took Long Lijun home to celebrate her mother's birthday.
After returning home, Xia He inevitably ran into Old Man Xia and Tang Yue.
Old Man Xia was originally a technician at a film factory. Many years ago, he was unable to continue working due to a hand injury, so he has been making a living by taking private jobs.
Xia He's mother is a post-production editor at a film studio. Both mother and daughter are strong and ambitious women.
But the more independent they became, the more useless Old Man Xia seemed, so Old Man Xia always had complaints about the mother and daughter.
He believed that it was they who made him bear the stigma of being a gigolo for many years.
So a few years ago, when the well-behaved and pitiful Tang Yue was brought from the countryside, Old Man Xia liked her very much.
Because Tang Yue's dependence can help him regain his dignity as a man.
Old Man Xia didn't beat around the bush with Xia He and directly asked Xia He to give the important role in "Shushan Love" to Tang Yue.
Naturally, Xia He couldn't agree to it. Besides, even if she agreed, would the director and investors agree?
"Doesn't she think that she can get the role by sleeping with me? Let her sleep with me and get the role! If that doesn't work, she can still snatch the role away from me! Can't she even snatch the role from her own brother-in-law? Why does she need me to give it to her?" Xia He said sarcastically without any hesitation.
Old Man Xia's face turned grim. "Yueyue has already apologized to you, why do you keep bringing this up?"
"Just because she apologizes, I have to forgive her? Impossible!"
"Old Xia, don't let your niece come to our house anymore in the future. She's such an ungrateful person!" Mother Xia expressed her dissatisfaction with Tang Yue in front of her without any hesitation.
Tang Yue knelt on the ground aggrieved and apologized to her aunt and cousin: "I didn't mean to steal Brother Shuo's, but matters of the heart are beyond one's control. I have nothing left now, only Brother Shuo. Please, cousin, give Brother Shuo to me, okay?"
Xia He shouted angrily: "I've seen people begging for food, but I've never seen people begging for a man. Get lost~"
The meal ended in a quarrel, and Tang Yue stared at the mother and daughter with a resentful look.
"Xia He, why do all the good things belong to you? Why don't you just die?" This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
