Chapter 347: Unmoved by Seduction

"Where is Bingbing? Have you seen Bingbing?" the agent asked everyone he met. He had an urgent matter to discuss with Wang Bingbing, but now he couldn't find her anywhere; it was truly anxiety-inducing.

"No."

"Haven't seen her."

"Haven't seen her."

He asked over a dozen people in a row, but everyone indicated they hadn't seen her.

Someone even kindly reminded him: "Brother Lü, why don't you call Sister Bingbing?"

"Nonsense." The agent glared fiercely at the person: "If the phone could get through, would I be here asking everyone one by one?"

He was burning with anxiety; posts were being deleted on a massive scale online, even more efficiently than their own PR team could manage.

The agent urgently needed Wang Bingbing to make a decision: whether to continue or stop.

If they continued, they were doing this behind the director's back; the director was completely unaware!

But if it continued, the director would definitely find out, and with Wang Bingbing gone, he, as the agent, would have to take the fall.

Wang Bingbing had enough clout to withstand it, and everyone in the crew had to give her face, so she might not necessarily be in trouble.

But he was just a small-time agent, so it was hard to say for him.

If they stopped now, Wang Bingbing couldn't be reached, and would she blame him when she returned? It was all a problem; the agent was in a dilemma, which was why he was desperately searching everywhere.

"Little Lü, come in."

The person one fears seeing most is exactly who one will end up seeing.

The director called him in and gave him a harsh scolding, accusing him of messing around with Wang Bingbing, saying that as an agent, instead of advising the artist, he was fanning the flames...

"Help! Cough, cough—"

Only when Wang Bingbing's throat was almost hoarse from shouting did she realize this method was useless; no one was paying her any attention at all.

What should she do?

She wouldn't be imprisoned here and starved to death, would she?

Or what if they forced her to film something scandalous and then threatened her?

Wang Bingbing curled into a ball in the corner, her hands hugging her knees, shivering.

She was afraid she would die here.

At this moment, the door opened.

Lao Qi walked in, his attitude very polite: "I'm sorry, Miss Wang. My memory isn't very good. Our Chairman instructed me to take good care of you, but I completely forgot..."

She had been shouting in the room for ages, nearly breaking her throat, and he could "forget" that.

It was clearly nonsense, but Wang Bingbing knew she couldn't expose him; as long as she could be let out, she would settle this score later.

Arriving in the living room, Sheng Hanyu was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, looking calm and composed.

"Please sit, Miss Wang." He pointed to the seat opposite him.

Wang Bingbing didn't sit; she stood opposite him, looking at him vigilantly: "You, what do you want?"

"I don't want anything, but I want to ask what *you* want?"

She knew Sheng Hanyu was prepared to stand up for Shi Youxuan, so she explained first: "Mr. Sheng, this matter really can't be blamed on me. It was Ms. Shi Youxuan who provoked me first. Yesterday, she came to my set and, without rhyme or reason, started throwing mud at me... she almost ruined my reputation!" Wang Bingbing shifted the blame.

Sheng Hanyu interrupted her: "So, you intend to fight her to the bitter end?" His tone was very calm, but his words revealed a thick murderous intent.

"Not necessarily."

Wang Bingbing never learned her lesson; having just been released from the small room, she had already forgotten how terrified she had been moments ago.

She began to use her old tricks again: "It's not that I want to be her enemy. If Shi Youxuan can apologize to me, I can forgive her."

Sheng Hanyu: "Keep dreaming."

Wang Bingbing:...

Sheng Hanyu didn't want to waste any more breath on her; he had originally thought that if he spoke reasonably, this woman might understand.

Now he saw that saying anything more was just a waste of time.

He took a stack of documents directly from his bag and threw them on the coffee table: "I'll give you two paths now. The first path: publish a public statement online apologizing to Ms. Shi Youxuan. Then go find little Shi Ran and explain your malicious intentions clearly, and finally, leave Jiangzhou forever and never harass them again."

"The second path is to become my enemy. You are perfectly free to do whatever you want, as long as you can bear the consequences."

Both of these were dead ends; Wang Bingbing didn't want to choose either.

She sat down opposite Sheng Hanyu, looking pitiful, tears streaming down her face, and looked at him with mournful eyes: "You have such a cruel heart. Why I did this—don't you know at all?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Sheng Hanyu killed the conversation with a single sentence.

If it were anyone else, they might not know how to continue the conversation.

But Wang Bingbing was not anyone else; there hadn't been a man she set her sights on that she hadn't successfully captured. She was unwilling to give up and didn't believe Sheng Hanyu would be the exception!

She raised her orchid-shaped finger to wipe the tears from the corner of her eye, her gaze filled with both affection and determination: "Fine, if you don't know, I will tell you clearly so that you know."

"I love you."

"From the first moment I saw you in A Country, I fell in love with you. From that day on, your shadow has always appeared before my eyes; it cannot be driven away or chased off."

As she spoke, tears fell again, but this time she didn't wipe them, letting them stream from her eyes.

"I think of you every day, missing you day and night, hoping that one day a miracle will happen and you will like me just as I like you..."

Wang Bingbing had entered the role.

There was genuine emotion in it to begin with, plus her rich acting skills.

A retaliatory act of revenge was being performed by her as a deep affection being betrayed!

If it were any other man, he would have surrendered long ago.

But Sheng Hanyu did not.

He watched her performance with cold eyes, and only after she finished speaking and crying enough did he coldly open his mouth: "So, which path do you want to choose?"

Wang Bingbing:...

So everything she said just now was all for nothing?

All the tears she shed were also completely useless; this man was impervious to reason.

Wang Bingbing still wanted to make a final struggle: "Hanyu, I love you."

Sheng Hanyu: "Fine, I know, you are choosing the second one."

"Lao Qi, see Miss Wang out."

Lao Qi came over: "Miss Wang, please."

Wang Bingbing had wanted to escape this place more than anything just a moment ago, but now she wouldn't leave.

She had a gut feeling that the bag on the coffee table did not contain anything good!

"What is this?"

As she spoke, the bag was already in her hands, and as she took out the things inside, Wang Bingbing immediately broke out in a cold sweat!

She was even more terrified now than she was just a moment ago.

Inside was a stack of photos, all of them photos of her accompanying big shots when she had just debuted.

There were hundreds of them; if these things were leaked, her acting career would basically be over.

"You, where did you get these things from?"

Sheng Hanyu did not answer; he really couldn't be bothered to say another word to this woman, so he pushed open the main door and left.

Before leaving, he dropped a sentence: "Just tell Lao Qi once you've considered it."

Jian Yixin called Shi Youxuan: "Bring Shi Ran to the Prince Hotel, come right now."

Shi Youxuan was puzzled: "Isn't the wedding set for Taoyuan? Why are you at the Prince Hotel again?"

"Oh, it's not the wedding hotel... I can't explain it to you in a sentence or two, anyway just hurry over, it's definitely a good thing, not a bad thing." Jian Yixin hung up the phone as she spoke.

"What kind of trick is she playing? She won't even explain what's going on before telling me to go, I'm not going!"

Although she said that, ten minutes later Shi Youxuan still took Shi Ran and headed out.

"Mommy, are we going back to L Country?" Shi Ran asked, blinking her big eyes.

After the little one was instigated by Wang Bingbing, returning to L Country had become an obsession; no matter what was said, she could steer the topic back to returning to the country within three sentences!
