Chapter 112

He Lele lowered her eyes. It wasn't until now that she felt her face heating up from that slap—very, very shameful, right? Being provoked and slapped, but she didn't have any reaction. Anyone who saw it would think she was a useless, spineless, pitiful, and sad bun.

This was the lifestyle she had already gotten used to. Whether being insulted, or innocently bumped and beaten, not resisting, not fighting back, letting people vent as quickly as possible—because the result of resistance would only be more bullying. No one would help her. Even if the teachers knew, the teachers would only ask her parents to take her home, or even... advise her to drop out of school. Only endurance, only endurance could allow her to continue her studies, to get into college, to find Xiao...

No, can't think, can't think of that name, can't be trapped by those doubts and hatreds, she had to look forward, had to live hard and sunny!

Yes, she clearly thought so, why didn't she feel anything when she was slapped just now, but now she felt ashamed and sad?

He Lele curled her lips sadly—was it because she didn't want the Rong sisters to see her looking so lowly?

"Brother Mo!" Xiao Sha greeted Producer Shentu Mo with full surprise, "The director didn't say you were coming today! Did you come specifically to see me?"

Producer Shentu Mo lowered his head and looked at the phone wreckage under his feet, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yan.

Awed by Producer Shentu Mo's cold momentum, Xiao Yan lowered her head, her eyes flickering, not daring to speak.

"Brother Mo?" Seeing Producer Shentu Mo keep looking at Xiao Yan, Xiao Sha was a bit unhappy and could only glare at Xiao Yan too.

"My set, when did it allow people to use violence and damage others' property at will?" Producer Shentu Mo withdrew his gaze and glanced coldly at Xiao Sha in front of him.

"Uh..." Xiao Sha didn't expect Producer Shentu Mo to speak up to settle accounts, "Just a misunderstanding, it's no big deal," she said while turning her head to He Lele, "Right, that, that who!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on He Lele. He Lele gritted her teeth, controlling her breathing, suppressing the slight trembling all over, walked in front of Producer Shentu Mo, and squatted down to pick up the phone. The phone screen actually didn't break.

"Hey! Why are you so rude? I'm talking to you!" Xiao Sha frowned, full of displeasure.

He Lele picked up the phone and stood up to face Xiao Sha. Her lips moved, but in the end, she swallowed the words in her mouth and changed to another sentence—"Yes, just a misunderstanding."

Producer Shentu Mo's eyes became colder, "Misunderstanding?"

He knew this woman could endure, but he only thought she was naturally timid and cowardly, but he didn't expect—she was actually self-deprecating to this extent! Were the stubbornness and tenacity in her eyes just his illusion?

Boring.

Unexplained anger filled his chest—how long had it been since he had been angry? This woman...

Producer Shentu Mo snorted coldly and turned to leave. He wasn't sure if he continued to look at that woman, he would do something even he couldn't control.

"Brother Mo!" Xiao Sha just wanted to chase after him, but a script supervisor assistant ran over. She knew it was her scene next, so she could only glare at He Lele hatefully and follow the script supervisor assistant. Xiao Yan and another assistant named "Jingjing" also hurriedly followed. Before leaving, Xiao Yan also looked at He Lele with contempt.

Only then did the Rong sisters walk to He Lele's side. They were on the afternoon flight, and Watching Rong Qingya insisted on saying goodbye to He Lele in person, so Producer Shentu Mo brought them to the set.

"Sister Lele." Watching Rong Qingya's little face was full of grievances, as if she were the one who was beaten and bullied, "Why did you..."

"Qingya!" Rong Qingfeng stopped Watching Rong Qingya, then paused, and gently hugged He Lele, "Although I don't know why you would endure it like this, but you must have your reasons, but as a friend... Lele, please be good to yourself. Otherwise, we will be sad."

Friend... two words, one sentence, immediately made He Lele's tears burst. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..."

"Silly girl, you're not the one who should say sorry, it's those who hurt you. You... are a good girl, Qingya and I both like you very much."

"Mm mm mm!" Watching Rong Qingya saw He Lele crying and couldn't help but cry too, nodding her little head repeatedly.

"So," releasing He Lele's body, Rong Qingfeng gently wiped away the tears on her face, "Even for Qingya and me, don't let people bully you at will! Let them know that our friend He Lele is not easy to bully! Anyone who hurts you will pay a painful price!"

"……" He Lele stopped crying, was silent for a moment, but in the end, smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It will cause trouble for others. If Xiao Sha is angered, Ruan Lin's work will also be affected. I... I'm fine," He Lele showed a big smile, wanting to appease the Rong sisters with this, "Anyway, I'm used to it. This degree..."

"He Lele!" Rong Qingfeng shouted loudly. Seeing He Lele's appearance, Rong Qingfeng couldn't help but feel heartache. What kind of life did this girl live before to be "used to" being bullied? How could she be so "saintly" as to be able to smile while enduring humiliation for others!

No wonder Producer Shentu just left angrily—"Lele, remember, in this world, no one is more important than yourself! If you are not happy, the whole world laughing has nothing to do with you! No one is worth you sacrificing your self-esteem to protect. Lele! Love yourself a little more! Love yourself a little more!"

Love... yourself a little more.

Tears filled her eyes again, brilliantly reflecting the sunlight, but He Lele curled her lips and smiled an even brighter smile, "Mm! Thank you... thank you... I..." closing her eyes to force back the tears, only happiness shone in He Lele's eyes, "I will."

"Then, goodbye."

"Sister Lele! We're leaving! I'll miss you!"

He Lele took the initiative to hug Watching Rong Qingya, "I... will miss you too!"

Thank you, thank you for being willing to recognize her as a friend after seeing her looking so lowly.

Thank you, thank you for the pure and flawless friendship Qingya gave her.

Thank you, thank you for Rong Qingfeng's kindness, her encouragement, and her advice.

Yes! She was no longer that little girl without any power to fight back. Some habits, it was time to change. Besides endurance, she should have more choices!

Noon, lunch box time.

"What's wrong with your face?" Ruan Lin stared at He Lele's half-swollen face with deep frowns.

"Ruan Lin, if I fight on the set, or anger Xiao Sha, how much will it affect your work?"
