Chapter 784

Shu Chen took a deep breath.

Shameless.

"The company has already given up on me, right?" Shu Chen asked.

Ren Fangming felt a bit pained; his gaze flickered before he said, "I will negotiate with the company again. You worked so hard to get where you are today; you absolutely cannot let all your efforts go to waste because of someone else's schemes."

"Besides, I also have a responsibility. I should have realized back then that she didn't have good intentions. If I had stopped you from going, at most, it might have offended her or the director, but it wouldn't have led to us being bullied by them holding onto this so-called leverage."

He truly regretted it more the more he thought about it.

The more he thought, the more he felt he was still too naive and had thought of people too simply, so he hadn't put up any defenses; a single blow was enough to leave them with no ability to fight back.

Shu Chen was silent for a moment, then said with a dark face, "In all likelihood, I won't be able to turn this around. Our foundation in the entertainment industry is too shallow; no one will stand up to clear my name at a time like this. As for Qin Wei, don't have any expectations there."

Ren Fangming's eyes turned red; he didn't want to cry in front of Shu Chen.

He walked to the window, pulled the curtain open a tiny slit, and looked outside, unwilling to give up.

He hoped the people downstairs would find their conscience and leave quickly.

Or perhaps that someone would believe in Shu Chen and speak a word of justice for him.

Suddenly, Ren Fangming pointed at someone below and asked, "Hey, is that your sister? Why does she look so much like your sister to me? Does she already know the news, and is she worried about you, so she came over?"

"She should be at work at this time. She doesn't have much time to look at her phone while working, so she shouldn't be very clear about my situation." Although Shu Chen said this, he still walked over and looked in the direction Ren Fangming was pointing.

At this look, the words he was about to say were all swallowed back.

The person standing in the middle of the crowd of reporters and paparazzi was indeed Shu Xia.

When he turned off his phone, because too many people were calling, he hadn't had time to call Shu Xia. He had thought that since she was at work, Shu Xuan would surely tell her not to worry after she got off work.

It turned out he hadn't expected her to find out so early, and that she had even come over.

When facing these things alone, Shu Chen didn't feel much.

He had suffered many blows since he was a child; at worst, he could just do something else and start over, but if his affairs affected his family, he felt unbearable pain in his heart.

"Find a way to bring her up," Shu Chen said.

Ren Fangming thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll find a way."

Shu Xia, who was among the group of reporters, looked up at the floor where Shu Chen lived.

The curtains were visibly drawn tight.

Even if these reporters used long lenses to try to take photos, they couldn't; they could only photograph the curtains.

Listening to the various discussions and attempts to suppress Shu Chen from the reporters around her, Shu Xia clenched her hands hanging at her sides into Boxing.

So many people wanted to see Shu Chen, but security had blocked them all.

Shu Xia didn't rush in.

A reporter nearby saw Shu Xia, his eyes lit up, thinking Shu Xia was also a reporter, and leaned over to say, "Let me tell you, none of us can get in. The sun is strong today, so don't just stand here and bake. Let's add each other on WeChat; once I manage to take a photo, I'll send it to you so you can turn it in to finish your assignment."

Shu Xia didn't speak and gave the reporter a cold glance.

The reporter felt his face flush from that look, "I've been in this line of work for a long time; maybe I can show you the ropes. Let's have a meal together when you have time."

"Move aside," Shu Xia said, feeling annoyed.

For the sake of so-called front-page headlines, these people disregarded the truth and even went so far as to harass others; she had no good impression of them.
