Chapter 95: 095 Does Not Interfere
“I appreciate Su Cheng’s frankness, and his sincerity towards friends. He has the courage to show off the person he likes in the sunlight, and the person he likes will never be wronged. You’re right, I did reject him before, but that doesn’t stop me from possibly liking him in the future.”
“Fine, very fine.” With these words, He Xing turned and walked away.
His back was always straight, but this time, as he left, it was bent, as if weighed down by a heavy burden.
Fu Han’s eyes were already stinging, but it was not until He Xing had left that her tears finally slid down uncontrollably.
After composing herself, she turned around and saw Su Cheng watching her from not too far away, his expression complex.
Fu Han acted as if she hadn’t seen him and prepared to go straight into the company.
But as she passed by Su Cheng, he stopped her: “Fu Han, the person you really like is He Xing, isn’t it?”
“I certainly don’t like him, don’t talk nonsense.” Fu Han was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her beautiful face full of anger.

However, this expression didn’t look ferocious on her face; rather, it seemed somewhat adorable.
Su Cheng’s face turned from red to white, his hands trembling at his sides, but still he said confidently, “You must like him, otherwise why were you crying just now?”
A piercing pain shot through Fu Han’s heart again. What she wanted most now was to find a quiet place to hide away and cry freely, but she couldn’t even realize this small wish.
Her emotions finally collapsed, and with tears streaming down her face, she said, “So what if I still like He Xing? Who says that if I like him, I must be with him?”
After shouting this, she ran away, not waiting for the elevator and instead rushing for the stairs.
Su Cheng stood in the same place for ten seconds before chasing after Fu Han.
He was wearing leather shoes, and Fu Han was in high heels. It didn’t take long for him to catch up with her: “Wait a minute, I have something to say to you.”
“What else is there to say? If you really like me, just leave me alone. I don’t want others to see me like this.” Fu Han’s face was streaked with tears, the pearls of moisture dripping down her delicate chin.
Su Cheng felt a special kind of discomfort in his heart, as if a gigantic hand was clutching at it, the heaviness making it hard to breathe.
Yet even so, he stepped forward and looked earnestly at Fu Han, “Fu Han, I was wrong just now, and I won’t force you to do anything ever again. You like He Xing, and I have no right to interfere.”
“Since you know that, then stay away from me in the future.” Fu Han said bravely, though her heart was also in pain.
True to his word, Su Cheng took two steps back. The pain on his face was gone, and he said sincerely, “You don’t like to hear me say that I like you, so I won’t say it again. If you want to avoid He Xing, I can help you.”
“How can you help?” Fu Han looked at Su Cheng, bewildered, not understanding what he meant.
Su Cheng smiled, and his smile brought back some of his sunny demeanor: “Tell He Xing that we are in a relationship, and he naturally won’t bother you anymore.”
Fu Han hesitated. Although she had said out of anger that she liked Su Cheng, the idea of having Su Cheng pretend to be her boyfriend was something she found difficult to do.
“If you’re worried this will trouble me, you needn’t be.” Su Cheng smiled again, “After all, my parents are pushing me hard, and you could just help me fend them off.”

Xia Ning looked at the contract in her hands, her expression very displeased: “What? Me, playing a supporting role to Bai Wei? And that too, a wicked female supporting character?”
“This is already the best outcome.” Xia Cheng sighed with a sense of helplessness, “I’ve approached He Xing several times, and he’s very firm. This movie is the first film invested in by He Group, and they would never risk using a newcomer. The risk assessment team initially suggested you for the third female lead. It was He Xing who moved you up to the second lead.”
“I don’t want it.” Xia Ning clung to Xia Cheng’s shoulders, coquettishly pleading, “Brother, why don’t we invest as well? If we invest, He Xing definitely won’t have the heart to let me play the second female lead.”
“Don’t even think about it.” Xia Cheng shook off Xia Ning’s hands, “Not to mention that our current liquid assets at Xia Group don’t allow us to invest blindly, do you think dad will agree to spend so much money to benefit someone else?”
“But didn’t dad agree to use the money from Du Wanting’s Mother’s Love Foundation to invest with He Xing?”
Xia Ning wasn’t giving up. Just thinking about playing a villain that everyone resents made her feel wronged. After all, she was a princess by birth, destined to be loved and cherished by all.
Xia Cheng sighed imperceptibly. He and their father had spoiled this sister far too much, to the point that after so many years, she still knew nothing about business.
Xia Guoxiong hadn’t considered investing in He Xing’s venture from the beginning. If He Xing really took the money from Du Wanting’s Mother’s Love Foundation, the charge of misusing public funds would be inescapable, and Xia Guoxiong would come down on him like a ton of bricks.
With smooth talking and a promise to discuss the script with He Xing again, Xia Ning finally left with swollen eyes.
After hearing about today’s events, Xia Guoxiong said, “Set up a studio for Xiaoning as soon as possible and hire a professional management team. As for the script, I’ll deliberate with He Xing again.”
“Dad, but you said…” Xia Cheng stopped mid-sentence, aware that walls have ears, and some things are better left unsaid.
Xia Guoxiong, however, smiled without concern: “I truly want Xiaoning to rise to fame with this film, so that in the future, Xia Group can invest in movies too, accelerating our cash flow.”
“Dad, you are really amazing.” Xia Cheng showed genuine admiration, and the laughter of father and son echoed far away. Despite the bright sun outside, their laughter felt chillingly cold.
…
He Group.
Bai Wei strode forward, with Liang Tao following closely: “Lady Bai, President He is in a video conference. Would you prefer to wait a bit before you see him?”
“You want me to wait?” Bai Wei stopped abruptly, tapping Liang Tao’s forehead without courtesy: “It’s been a while, Liang Tao, and you’ve gotten bolder.”
With a pained expression, Liang Tao winced: “Lady Bai, you… It’s been so long, and your temper hasn’t changed one bit.”
“Do you think I’m like you guys, learning Sichuan Opera Face Changing?” Bai Wei glared at Liang Tao fiercely.
Today, Bai Wei was dressed in all black: a black short down jacket, black pencil pants, and black dervish shoes on her feet. The outfit’s highlights were an orange belt and orange shoelaces.
