Chapter 53: Reminiscing the past

When exercising, Yan Xi was wearing earphones. This made Yan Zi Xun unable to talk to her although he intended to hit on her. He even deliberately extended his exercise time as he planned to walk together with her after Yan Xi finished exercising. Just when he didn’t have much strength to continue exercising anymore, Yan Xi received a phone call.

The caller was Mr. Gong.

Yan Xi didn’t take note of it and touched her earphone lightly to accept the call.

However, after accepting the call, Gong Ding Chen’s low, deep and cold voice came from the other side of the phone. Without any greeting, he went directly to the point, like how they always made love in the past, penetrating directly without foreplay.

He said: “Gong Yun Ting helped to take on this type of drama for you?”

Yan Xi’s motion stopped. She didn’t need to ponder to know that Gong Ding Chen must have seen the teaser that was posted today on the internet. Gong Ding Chen’s tone was unkind, it sounded like he put the blame on Gong Yun Ting for that sexual scene in <Zheng Xiong>. Yan Xi smiled lightly and came down from the running machine. When she passed Yan Zi Xun, she even waved her hand to say goodbye to him. After she’d walked far enough, she told Gong Ding Chen: “The resources that Yun Ting gave me are very good. Chun Jie had good insights about the scripts as well, but as for what dramas I want to take on, it is up to my willingness.”

“It’s just a kissing scene, is it necessary to shoot many times?” On the other side of the phone, Gong Ding Chen’s fingers were pinching a cigarette that almost burnt his finger, but his tone still sounded cold and calm, the emotion behind it was hard to decipher.

“It’s not completely the male lead’s fault, it’s the director who craves for a more perfect presentation, so we used more cameras and angles, shooting it a few more times.” Yan Xi leaned against the wall, her body looked seductive as she smiled: “Even Mr. Gong follows gossip? That’s rare.”

But he did do wrong towards her as well.

Later on, Gong Ding Chen began to occasionally recall the day he wanted to break it off with Yan Xi.

She knelt on the floor, her makeup became a mess as she cried. At that time, he was too lazy to even glance at her, he thought that she was especially ugly. It wasn’t her appearance that was ugly, it was her inner heart that was ugly. She muttered repeatedly, saying: “I love you… I love you… I love you…”

At that time, he even thought that the words ‘I love you’ sounded disgusting.

He also said it out loud: “Disgusting.”

What else did he say? He said: “Yan Xi, everything that you have right now is all given to you by me. Initially, you can leave with pride, using the allowance that Amy will transfer to you every month. You can even occasionally play some roles in Gong conglomerate’s dramas, but you are not content and ruin this with your own hands.”

He said: “Yan Xi, whatever that I gave you, I naturally can take them back as well.”

What he did later on and also Yan Xi’s condition proved that what he said were not just for talk.

At that time, he was really perturbed and disgusted by this lowly and bitchy woman. His leg kicked away Yan Xi who leaped towards him to try to hug and kiss him, then threw away his custom-made Western suit that was crinkled by her, before leaving his apartment without even turning back.

After that, Yan Xi committed suicide.

The news came out like that.

But at that time, Yan Xi’s reputation was very bad. He was the same as those internet users who criticized and chided her in the comments of the news, thinking that this crazy woman was only using this incident to boost her popularity, to gain acceptance and pity by struggling using her own life. But he never thought that Yan Xi would really commit suicide.

After that, the news revealed that she committed suicide because of internet abuse.

But now Gong Ding Chen knew that Yan Xi chose to slit her wrist to kill herself in the bathtub because she really wanted to die. She was really in despair. What made her despair was not because of the incessant rebukes on the internet, her black history that was dug out from her past, or the fact that her acting career ended from now onwards. It was solely because of him, because of him only.

Fortunately, Yan Xi didn’t die.

Unfortunately, he only realized it at this time and chose to believe it.

Gong Ding Chen saw the weibo of those fans who had visited Yan Xi today. He also didn’t know how he clicked into her fan club page. The topic and number of fans were not noticeable at all among the celebrities, but he didn’t know why he began to scroll the weibo posts one by one. Looking at her drama photo, reading how everyone discussed her acting, her hairstyle, her appearance and aura that became so beautiful but cold.

Later, he saw a weibo post that was written like this.

“I don’t know if anyone noticed, but there’s a scar on Xi Jie’s left wrist. Although she always wears jewelry and a watch to hide it; although it’s obvious that the scar is covered in thick foundation in front of the cameras, it still looked so visible. We will accept all neutral and constructive comments and suggestions. Yan Xi is also trying hard to move forward and improve, but please treat our beautiful girl better, it’s not easy for her to hold on until today.”
