Su Luo smiled.
"As long as you can forgive me, this pain is nothing."
Ye Xiaoman stuck out her tongue and licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, speaking fiercely.
"I never said I forgave you..."
Seeing that Ye Xiaoman had calmed down enough, Su Luo took her hand again and pleaded.
"Xiaoman, I really know I was wrong. I promise it won't happen again. Please forgive me, okay?"
This time, Ye Xiaoman didn't push him away, but took a step back.
"Then fire Ellie and replace her with another actress."
Su Luo was at a loss.
“We’ve been filming this for a month already. Where am I supposed to find suitable actors? Besides, wouldn’t all the previous filming have been for nothing? How much money would we lose, and what about everyone’s hard work…”
Ye Xiaoman shook off his hand again, dissatisfied.
"I'll compensate you for your losses. I'm not short of money anyway, is that alright?"
Su Luo felt a headache coming on, but patiently explained.
"It's not entirely about money. I need a reasonable reason to fire her. I can't just fire someone for no reason."
"Moreover, this is her first time working. She doesn't have a father, her mother is seriously ill and bedridden, and she also suffers from severe mental illness..."
Ye Xiaoman's blood pressure soared, and the anger she had just suppressed was about to reignite. She said excitedly.
"Don't tell me how hard she's had it. It has nothing to do with me. I have no reason to pity her. Did I cause her difficulties? I'm not a philanthropist. All I know is that my boyfriend not only had dinner with her alone, but also kissed her!"
"Don't give me that nonsense. I'm just asking you, are you going to fire her or not?"
Su Luo said bitterly.
"Xiaoman, please don't be like this. I'm the one who's wrong, not her..."
If Ellie were truly the kind of bad girl with impure intentions, he wouldn't feel guilty about expelling her.
Ellie did nothing wrong from beginning to end; the one who was wrong was him. He made a mistake by performing CPR on her while she was unconscious, which led to the current situation.
So he really couldn't bring himself to fire her.
Ye Xiaoman was so angry she was about to burst into flames.
"Fine, so you're still protecting her now, huh? I've changed my mind. I'm going to deal with this little vixen right now! Let's see what kind of bewitching potion she's given you!"
He walked past Su Luo and headed out the door.
Su Luo hurriedly stopped her, gripping her wrist tightly, and said anxiously.
"I told you it's none of her business, can you please not be so impulsive?"
Ye Xiaoman looked up at Su Luo, her bloodshot eyes filled with coldness, and said in a cold voice.
"Let me go!"
Su Luo shook her head, "Please don't do this."
If he really lets Ye Xiaoman go, given her skills and temper, she'll tear Ellie to shreds!
Ye Xiaoman nodded, "Okay, okay..."
As he spoke, he raised his other hand and slapped Su Luo across the face!
With a snap!
The slap was heavy; five clear, bright red finger marks appeared on Su Luo's fair cheek in an instant, and blood even spilled from the corner of her mouth.
My ears were ringing, and I felt like I would have fallen if I hadn't been holding Ye Xiaoman's hand.
Su Luo suddenly felt dizzy and her vision began to blur.
Ye Xiaoman was also stunned when she saw this. She didn't expect Su Luo to be so fragile. She hadn't used much force, so how could she be bleeding?
Su Luo helplessly raised her hand to cover her burning cheek, and with difficulty pulled up her bloodied lips, she spoke to Ye Xiaoman.
"If you hit me, then please don't hit her, okay?"
"If you're still not satisfied, hit me a few more times, and I absolutely won't move an inch."
Ye Xiaoman's initial sense of guilt vanished instantly. Pointing at the door, she said sternly.
"Get out of here!"
"Okay, I'll leave, don't be angry..."
Su Luo quickly left the room.
He stood at the door for a while, and only went downstairs dejectedly after confirming that Ye Xiaoman had no intention of calling.
By the time I stepped out of the building, it was completely dark.
The night sky was pitch black, without a single star. A cold wind blew gently, making Su Luo's swollen cheeks sting.
My head started to hurt too.
What should he do next?
Where to spend the night?
I've been living with Ye Xiaoman for the past five years. I only visit my own house occasionally and have hardly ever stayed there since.
Su Luo took out her phone, found Ye Xiaotian's number, and pressed the call button.
The call was busy for over ten seconds before it was finally answered.
"Xiao Tian, are you home?"
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?"
Ye Xiaotian's voice sounded strange, with a bit of heavy breathing, as if he was doing some kind of exercise.
You can faintly hear a sweet and coquettish girl asking who called.
Su Luo immediately realized that Ye Xiaotian must be with Lin Xiyue, and the two were having a sweet time together, and said awkwardly.
"It's nothing, you go ahead with your work."
"Huh, what..."
Su Luo hung up the phone before Ye Xiaotian could finish speaking.
A deep sense of loneliness rose in my heart.
Once my brother has a girlfriend, he can't be there for me whenever I call.
He couldn't appease his girlfriend, Ellie, and he simply couldn't bring himself to fire her.
So annoying, so annoying.
What should he do?
ah!
My headache got worse; it was that familiar feeling of my skull about to split open.
If you can't drive, it's easy for an accident to happen.
Su Luo left the residential area, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and decided after much thought to go back to her old house.
We arrived in no time.
Su Luo paid the fare and hurriedly got off the bus.
