Chapter 691: You Mean to Say that Shi Xiang Found Himself a Rich Man’s Daughter?
Yan Su’s heart sank. She was devastated and disappointed. She was embarrassed, too. He was her boyfriend. He was the one who questioned her good friend’s character. His assistant was the one who hurt her good friend. She would never believe that Luosang would try to seduce Shi Xiang. Luosang had Nian Junting, after all, a good man who loved her to no end. “How could… His assistant, did he consider your reputation in the industry at all?”
“Yeah, his assistant was really cocky. He often conversed with Shi Xiang in Korean and told him not to bother with low-grade people like us. They thought I didn’t understand Korean, of course.” Luosang scoffed. “They don’t know that I know Korean, Japanese, English, and even French.”
Yan Su felt miserable listening to her. She knew that Luosang wasn’t someone who would make a mountain out of a molehill. There must have been several unpleasant encounters for her to get so disgusted.
Luosang sighed when she saw the upset look in Yan Su’s eyes. “These are small things. I wouldn’t have told you if not for other things. I went to look for Shi Xiang after that, and he told me that he didn’t know about what his assistant did. His assistant acted on his own accord, and he would help me clear things up. I lied to him, saying that I would tell you about what happened, and he said that I was trying to sow discord between the two of you. He threatened me, saying that he would ruin my career if I said a word.”
Yan Su wanted to dig a hole for herself. She often complimented Shi Xiang in front of her. She hadn’t expected him to act so repulsively in front of her good friend. She stuttered after a long while, “He didn’t use to… He wasn’t like this. Maybe… he got famous and is acting a little overboard.”
“Well, it would have been fine if he was just acting a little arrogant. No one can really preserve the entirety of themselves after receiving such adoration and fame, after all, but it would be scary if he became unrecognizable.”
Luosang continued, “When I left, I overheard his assistant talking to him in Korean again. He thought that Shi Xiang fancied me, and Shi Xiang told him that there are women like me all over the streets. He sounded very nasty, but that wasn’t all. His assistant said that Young Mistress wouldn’t be pleased if she knew about this and cautioned him to treasure Young Mistress. Shi Xiang only chuckled when he heard that, and he didn’t deny anything.”
“Young… Mistress?” Yan Su’s mind was a blank. Her eyes were soulless. She looked like a little girl who had just lost her favorite doll.
“Yeah, Young Mistress.” Luosang nodded. She hated seeing Yan Su hurt like this. “Su, I understand your pain. I would imagine it’s the same kind as when Yi Jingxi brought Zhong Yi to me. I was like you, and I thought that my world had collapsed. I only told you this because I didn’t want you to be clueless in love. Think about it. Someone that his assistant calls ‘Young Mistress,’ she should come from an important family. She might even be the daughter of someone important in his company.”
Yan Su asked in a daze, “You mean to say that Shi Xiang found himself a rich man’s daughter?”
Luosang frowned. “I can’t be sure, but a normal man would deny things when someone says something like that. He should have clarified and denied relations with this Young Mistress, but he didn’t say a word about it. He just smiled. That could either mean that he was just playing around with her or there was really something going on between them.”
Yan Su was taking in short gasps of air. It pained Luosang to see her pale small face. She knew these things, but she needed Luosang to break them down for her bit by bit before she could confront the reality of things.
