Chapter 3

Jing Yao felt disgusted when she saw the three of them with their own thoughts.

It seemed that she had nothing to do here.

She left without even saying goodbye.

The three people who were talking saw her turn around and leave from the corner of their eyes. They fell silent in unison.

Wen Chen instinctively wanted to stop her, but before he could speak, Jing Yuan had already grabbed his hand and started talking to him.

Wen Chen retracted his gaze and was in a daze. The little girl whom he met when he was young suddenly appeared in his mind. Every time she saw him, she would smile shyly and carefully.

When did it start? When she saw him again, there was only indifference and coldness on her face.

After Jing Yao came out of the Jing Family, she stood by the roadside for a while to suppress the nauseating feeling. At this moment, she only hoped that she would never come back. This place was like a mountain of knives and a sea of fire. Jing Yao wanted to cut off all contact with everyone and go back to sleep for half a month.

But no, she still had to work. If she didn’t work, she wouldn’t be able to pay the rent. She wouldn’t even be able to pay for food.

She turned on her cell phone and called a taxi. After getting in the car, Jing Yao called her manager, Zhu Ling, and asked her when the third female lead role would be auditioned.

Zhu Ling was silent for a long time before saying, “Yaoyao, I took another look. I don’t think that role is that likable. Let’s look at the others.”

Jing Yao’s first reaction was that it didn’t matter if the character was not likable. She urgently needed money now, but before she could say anything, she realized that this matter had most likely failed again. With the hot trending topic of her sleeping with someone, no smart director would dare to ask her to film.

“Alright, Lingling. I’ll listen to your plan.”

Zhu Ling heaved a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone.

“Yaoyao, I see that you’ve been tired recently. Rest well for a while. I’ll help you find a new role. I’ll tell you when I find it. I’ve already told the company about the trending topic. They’ll handle it.”

She was just a small celebrity, so the company couldn’t care less about her. However, Jing Yao still agreed to let Zhu Ling feel at ease.

When she got home in the car, she was covered in sweat. Jing Yao endured her fatigue and took a shower. After that, she didn’t even have time to dry her hair before she casually wiped off the water droplets and fell asleep.

She slept until midnight. When she woke up, her head hurt so much that it felt like it was going to explode.

She endured the discomfort and got up to find herself a cold medicine to eat. Then, she took out the bread she had hoarded and ate it with cold water.

Jing Yao spent three days in a daze and only ate bread. When she felt that she had some strength, she cooked a bowl of noodles for herself.

During this period, Zhu Ling and Wen Chen’s cousin, Ji Wei, called, but Jing Yao didn’t pick up. After calling back, she said in a relaxed tone that she was free these few days to watch a movie and find her feelings.

After acting for so many years, the two of them did not notice her abnormality and only reminded her to rest well.

On the third day, Jing Yao finally recovered completely and her mind was completely clear. It was at this moment that she suddenly thought of something.

After what happened that night, no matter what, she should have bought birth control pills first. However, she had been in a daze for the past three days and had completely forgotten about it.

Was there any use in buying it now?

Three days, seventy-two hours. It was far too long now.

Jing Yao decided to make a Hail Mary effort. She tidied herself up and went out to buy medicine.

After being idle for more than a month, the only person she had seen a few times was Zhu Ling.

One day, Zhu Ling suddenly pulled her up excitedly and urged her to dress up properly. Then, she took her away in a hurry.

When Jing Yao stood in the magnificent banquet hall of the hotel, she was still dumbfounded.

Zhu Ling pulled her to a quiet seat.

“Yaoyao, take a seat first. I’ll go look for my brother. I’ll introduce you to my brother’s friends later.”

Jing Yao nodded. Suppressing her doubts, she sat down and waited for them.

When Liang Xun walked into the banquet hall, he casually glanced around before his gaze landed on a figure in the corner.

After such a long time, he thought that he had long forgotten the girl. Unexpectedly, he saw her in the crowd.

She was wearing a pure white gown. Her long black hair was tied up, revealing her slender neck. At this moment, her gaze was slowly moving around the banquet hall, as if she was looking for someone.

“Liang Xun, let’s go. Why are you standing here?”

Zhu Sui urged when he saw his friend standing still.

When Liang Xun heard that, he slowly retracted his gaze. “Where did Shen Yu say he was?”
