C211 A Desperate Situation in Which There Is No Retreat
"If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to remain calm when they were feeling anxious. Even you would have left France to maintain your pride. I'm ready to bring her back to the country at any time."
"But she did not give up. Instead, she wanted to fight with the other party again."
"Even I was touched by what she and Johnson said on the phone. If I were the person in charge of UNIC, I would have chosen her as my spokesperson."
Shangguan Lii quietly listened to Ric talk about all of this.
It was as if she had let go of the lingering pain in her heart and was trying to think. If she was the one competing for the spokesperson of UNIC, what would she do?
She picked up the bottle of wine and gulped it down.
"Actually, you value your career more than anyone else, so don't let your emotions affect your life." Ric did not stop her from drinking. He continued.
Shangguan Lii put down the wine bottle dejectedly. She was very upset.
"Your silence and withdrawal will not only not protect your family. Instead, it will make everyone worry for you. It will make those people talk about you behind your back. From the day the Dahua unearthed you, everyone's sacrifice for you - those fans' support and love for you... can you forget?"
"Yan Xi asked me to tell you all this. No matter how many rumors and rumors are outside, you will always be Shangguan Lii."
"That man thought that he was holding onto your weakness, so he could accuse you without restraint and lead everyone to attack you. What about you? Do you want to use your entire life to pay for him?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Lii suddenly started to cry.
Yan Xi was right. She was too weak and too reluctant... That was why she hurt herself time and time again. She also hurt everyone who cared about her!
Ric walked to her side and gently patted her back to calm her emotions.
When she was tired from crying and stopped crying, he said in a low voice, "As long as you are willing, Dahua will never give up on you."
Shangguan Lii turned her crying into a smile. That relieved smile was full of determination, "Director, what am I going to do now?"
Ric saw that she was energized and heaved a sigh of relief. "That's great. I have finally waited for you to say this. You just need to take a good rest and tell the truth at tomorrow's press conference. I will prepare for other things."
Shangguan Lii nodded seriously. "Okay."
When Ric heard this word, his heart finally settled down because he knew that Shangguan Lii had already stood up from the heavy pain.
Because there was no way to retreat from the cliff behind her. When there was no way out other than fighting, people would become fearless.
Yan Xi also knew this news in the shortest time. She was still filming but suddenly felt a new kind of power. So during the final shooting, she performed exceptionally well.
That kind of grace and charm was incomparable, her limelight directly overshadowed the other stars.
In addition to her exceptionally impactful performance, it was unforgettable.
After all the filming ended, she pulled Chiang Mochen back happily. "Let's go back!"
"Don't you want to rest for a while?" Chiang Mochen asked.
"I want to go back and cheer for her."
Chiang Mochen could not argue with her and immediately booked a flight back to China. After bidding farewell to Johnson, he brought Yan Xi and Sister Xia to the airport.
This time, it was very different from usual.
They would appear at the airport openly and would not hide from reporters anymore. They did not need to take two separate flights.
Chiang Mochen saw Yan Xi looking around subconsciously and said in a low voice, "Why do you look so nervous? This kind of photo doesn't look good."
"We..."
Yan Xi wanted to say something but stopped. She looked at the man in front of her in a daze.
"Miss Yan, I am your manager now. It is natural for us to be together." Chiang Mochen reached out and pulled her closer to him. He was not afraid of being patted by anyone.
Yan Xi looked at the people coming and going at the airport. She did not notice the reporters and felt relieved.
She resolutely walked forward a few steps and let Chiang Mochen and Sister Xia walk behind her. They openly walked towards the waiting room.
They were not afraid of any reporters secretly taking pictures.
When someone found out it was Yan Xi and Chiang Mochen, the fans screamed. They took the initiative to run over and ask Yan Xi to sign for them. "Sister Yan Xi, why are you traveling with Director Chiang?"
Yan Xi blinked and replied straightforwardly with a smile, "Because we have been working together all this time."
The fans carefully asked again, "Then can I ask Director Chiang to sign as well?"
There were not many opportunities to meet President of Dahua.
The man's deep eyes looked at Yan Xi. Yan Xi calmly put on her sunglasses and had no intention of making a move.
Chiang Mochen understood what she meant. He helplessly took the pen and signed his name. Then he looked at Yan Xi with his eyes. He did what she wanted.
The fans left happily.
Yan Xi walked up to Chiang Mochen and said, "It's better to wear a hat and sunglasses..."
Although her husband's handsomeness could not be concealed, it was better to put on some disguise.
Chiang Mochen looked at her mischievous smile and nodded heavily. The two of them got on the plane in front and back. Yan Xi leaned back in the seat and looked at Chiang Mochen with a smile.
The feeling of boarding the plane together when they appeared at the airport together was the most ordinary and rare happiness for her.
"What's the rest of the journey, Mr. Manager?"
"Angel Starr's award ceremony, as a guest."
Yan Xi blinked her eyes. Angel Star awards ceremony was held once a year in the industry. Many influential star artists would attend. If it was before the storm, Shangguan Lii would definitely be the center of attention that night. But in her current state, it was very easy for something to go wrong.
Chiang Mochen arranged for Yan Xi to attend. Firstly, he wanted her to personally experience the gathering of superstars. Secondly, he wanted her to encourage Shangguan Lii.
Other than that, he would announce on that day that he would become Yan Xi's manager on the spot, making her popularity rise rapidly.
His considerations were always the most thorough.
Yan Xi smiled and hugged his arm. She gently laid on the bed, "Okay, I will listen to you."
Chiang Mochen could hear the fatigue in her tone. He carefully covered her with a blanket. "Don't think about anything. Rest well. I will take care of everything."
He would do his best to hold an umbrella for Yan Xi.
The domestic media had been chasing after Shangguan Lii's news. When the Dahua announced that they were going to hold a press conference, everyone was paying attention to what was going on there. No one noticed Yan Xi and Chiang Mochen returning home together.
What Yan Xi saw and heard were all twisted discussions about Shangguan Lii.
"She has raised that man for so long. Maybe they are going to gamble and take drugs together!"
"What big star? Bitch!"
"Not only did she get an opportunity through unlawful relations - for that man, she even had an abortion. She is really dirty."1
