“What did she say?” Yang Hua asked anxiously.

“She said that she can’t even protect herself now and can’t help me.” Qi Yuying took a deep breath and tried hard not to cry.

“What’s going on? How could she be unable to protect herself?” Yang Hua asked in surprise.

“She said that she broke up with Li Hongwei yesterday.”

“Why?”

“Why else? Yesterday, after she finished filming, she saw Li Hongwei shopping with a woman in the downtown area when she returned home. At first, she thought that the two of them had only bumped into each other by chance. However, she later saw that they had actually walked straight into the hotel. When she returned home that night, she had a big fight with Li Hongwei over the phone and they broke up. Because of this, she arrived at the studio almost an hour late this morning.”

“Usually, this isn’t a big deal, but Hu Changyou took the opportunity to give her a good scolding. She wasn’t a particularly popular celebrity. Many second-rate female celebrities in City T were more beautiful and better at acting than her. In the past, if I hadn’t been speaking up for her, Director Zhang would have wanted to replace her. Now that Hu Changyou says she’s not dedicated to her job, I don’t think she’ll be able to escape.”

“Then what does she plan to do?”

“She doesn’t know either. Her current situation is the same as mine. If Producer Hu insists, even if Director Zhang wants to protect her, he can’t. She said that if there was really no other way, she could only go back and beg that bastard Li Hongwei. Sigh. She had been playing small roles in the production team since she graduated from high school. Until now, she did not know anything other than acting in soap operas. Moreover, her hometown is in the countryside. If she was kicked out of the production team, she would have no choice but to go back to farming. She could only go to Li Hongwei or Hu Changyou.

“Hey! Why am I talking about her? I’m in the same situation.” At this point, Qi Yuying let out a long sigh and laughed at herself.

Hearing this, Yang Hua’s heart was filled with bitterness. This was the first time he felt that he was really useless and could not help at all. Was there really no way? He could only watch helplessly as the two girls fell into the trap. The distressed Yang Hua thought for a long time, but he could only think of one person — Tang Xin.

No matter what, he had to go find Tang Xin. Even if she felt that he was a bastard who wanted to be repaid with kindness, it was better than watching the two girls walking toward a dead end. Yang Hua thought helplessly but resolutely.

“Sigh!” Qi Yuying let out a long sigh and returned to her room listlessly to lie down on the bed. She was already in complete despair. She could only wait for Director Zhang to send her a notice of being kicked out of the production team.

Logically speaking, she should be scared to death right now, as she had nothing to offer other than writing scripts. However, for some reason, Qi Yuying did not feel the fear of losing her job at all. Other than extreme disappointment and a little anger, she was unexpectedly calm. It was as if she felt that even if she lost her job, she could always find someone to rely on. In this mood, Qi Yuying lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

As soon as Qi Yuying walked into the room, Yang Hua, who had already made up his mind to look for Tang Xin, picked up his phone and called Qi Yuying’s number. The phone didn’t ring for long before Tang Xin’s soft and pleasant voice came from the other end, “Hey! May I know who it is?”

“Is it Tang Xin?” Yang Hua, who was asking for help, sounded a little embarrassed. “I’m Yang Hua.”

“Yang Hua! Hehe, why did you call me?” When Tang Xin heard this name, she immediately smiled in surprise.

“Hmm.. I have something I need your help with.” Even though he had only said this over the phone, Yang Hua’s face turned red with embarrassment.

“Oh?” Tang Xin quickly calmed down and asked with a smile, “What’s the matter? Just say it. You’re my savior! I’ll definitely help you if I can.”

“Where are you now?” Yang Hua heard some noise on Tang Xin’s phone and couldn’t help but worry that she was in the studio. If Producer Hu heard what he said to Tang Xin, he would be in big trouble.

“Oh, I’m at the studio now.” Tang Xin’s answer was as Yang Hua had expected.

“Hmm.. I see..”

“What? Is it inconvenient to talk over the phone?” Tang Xin asked with a smile.

“Kind of.”

“Since there’s no filming today. I’m going home. If there’s anything, come to my house and we’ll talk. Yes, I’m close to home. You can set off now.”

“Ah.. that’s fine too.” Yang Hua thought about it and felt that it was better to talk to her face-to-face rather than over the phone.

“My house is Fenglu District 32. You can take a taxi over. Hehe, you’re still studying, right? Do you have money to pay for the taxi fare? If you don’t have it, I’ll help you pay when you get to my house.” Tang Xin’s words also carried a bit of mischief.

“No need. I’ll be right there.” Yang Hua hung up the phone awkwardly. He grabbed a jacket that he could go out with and hurriedly ran out.

When Yang Hua took a taxi to Fenglu District 32, he realized that Tang Xin’s place was actually a big villa located in the suburbs. From the outside, the entire villa was about a thousand square meters in size. Behind the villa, there was a courtyard surrounded by high walls.

Yang Hua, who had never entered a villa before, was like a foreign person this time. The taxi driver who saw him get off in front of the luxury villa looked at him up and down with a surprised look, trying to find a connection between him and the owner of the villa.

After pacing back and forth in front of the door for a long time, Yang Hua finally saw the phone under the villa’s number plate. But before he could pick up the phone, Tang Xin, who saw him on the surveillance camera, had already opened the door for him.

Although Yang Hua was shocked by the sudden opening of the door, he still suppressed his surprise and walked into the villa with his head lowered. After entering the door, the first thing Yang Hua saw was a living room that was so spacious that he could not believe it. He looked around in surprise, trying to find Tang Xin. At this time, Tang Xin’s voice had a smiling tone suddenly sounded beside him, “Don’t look in the living room. Go straight ahead. I’m outside.”

Yang Hua, who was shocked again, looked up at the huge glass door in the depths of the living room. He scratched his head in embarrassment and walked to the backyard according to Tang Xin’s instructions.

When he walked out of the courtyard, Yang Hua realized that it was more like a combination of a garden and a swimming pool than a courtyard. The front half of the house, which Yang Hua could see through the glass door, was a neatly trimmed garden, while the back half was a swimming pool.

Yang Hua walked into the courtyard and began to look for Tang Xin. But when he saw Tang Xin, he almost thought of running away immediately. He never thought that his old classmate, who had become a big star, would meet him in such a manner. She was wearing only a bikini, with water droplets from swimming, and she was sitting under the awning and wiping while smiling at him.
