“Sister Wei, everyone calls you ‘sister,’ why do you have to make things difficult for us younger generation? Don’t you think so?” Lin Yang winked at Chu Yu, signaling him to let go.
She didn't know exactly how powerful Nie Wei's background was, but she was certain it was more powerful than Chu Yu's.
Nie Wei was targeting her from the start. She could have dodged that slap herself, but Chu Yu stopped her first. Ultimately, Lin Yang owed him a favor.
She didn't want Chu Yu to lose the role she had worked so hard to get because she offended Nie Wei by standing up for her.
Chu Yu received a look from Lin Yang. Although he was unwilling, he released the strength he had gathered in his palm and slowly loosened his grip. "Yes, Sister Wei."
The term "Sister Wei" no longer carries the initial respect, but rather a sense of humiliation and reluctance.
If... I could have climbed even higher, would things have turned out differently?
Chu Yu quietly clenched his fist hidden behind his back, and some thoughts gradually began to grow and spread in his mind.
"That's it? You call me Sister Wei and that's it? Didn't your mother teach you how to write the word 'apology'?" Nie Wei looked down and groaned at her wrist, which was now red from being gripped, and had no intention of letting Chu Yu off the hook.
His fist clenched even tighter without him realizing it.
Suddenly, it loosened its grip again.
"I'm sorry, Sister Wei." Chu Yu quietly concealed the gloom in his eyes and put on a fawning smile to meet Nie Wei's haughty face.
The apology was delivered so readily that it surprised Lin Yang. She looked at Chu Yu, only to be met with him silently turning his head away from her gaze.
"That's it? That's not sincere enough, is it?" Nie Wei turned on her phone again, scrolling through her contacts. "At least you should kneel down and kowtow to me three times, begging for my forgiveness, right?"
Despite making such an outrageous demand, Nie Wei's tone remained indifferent, as casual as asking if you'd eaten.
Chu Yu's flattering smile froze, his throat felt like it was being pierced, and he couldn't utter a single sound.
"Nie Wei, don't go too far!" Lin Yang stood in front of Chu Yu. Although her height couldn't completely block him out, she was definitely protecting him.
Protected behind him, Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat, as if a dazzling firework was slowly exploding in his chest.
"How did I go too far? Not only does he have to apologize to me, but you have to apologize to me too!"
Nie Wei's arrogant demeanor infuriated Lin Yang, making her knuckles crack silently. She really wanted to twist Nie Wei's head off.
"What are you all arguing about? We can hear your commotion from far away!" Their noise finally caught Zheng Linzhou's attention.
He approached slowly from a distance, his face stern.
"Director Zheng, it is..." Lin Yang was about to explain when Nie Wei's loud voice beat her to it.
"Director Zheng, it's nothing, I just stumbled upon a little flirtation between two people." When Nie Wei saw Zheng Linzhou arrive, her previous arrogance vanished without a trace.
She deliberately spoke vaguely, leaving much to the imagination.
"No, Director Zheng..." Lin Yang was about to explain, but was cut off again before she could finish speaking.
"Director Zheng, it's time! The opening ceremony can begin!" Producer Zhang shouted loudly to Zheng Linzhou from the other end of the loudspeaker.
As if they had made a pact with Nie Wei, they all interrupted Lin Yang's explanation.
"Alright, that's enough. Come with me to the opening ceremony." Zheng Linzhou had no interest in hearing the details of the matter anymore. He waved his hand, signaling them to follow him quickly.
A feeling of suffocation welled up in Lin Yang's chest, unable to go up or down. Could there be anything more uncomfortable than this?
She vowed that she would definitely practice speed from now on, otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out like Chu Yu stopping Nie Wei first, and Nie Wei spreading rumors about her first, okay?
She realized a truth.
Women really do need to be quick!
