“No!”
…
Song Xin arrived that night at the Duan family home bearing plenty of gifts. As usual, she knew how to make Mother Duan and Father Duan happy.
She then went to see Duan Jinghong. Duan Jinghong was tidying up some old photos. During the years that she had spent with Song Xin, the two of them had taken plenty of photos.
“Jinghong…”
“Why are you here?” While sitting on the bed, Duan Jinghong closed the photo album in her hands and placed it under her pillow.
“I already saw it,” Song Xin was slightly moved. After all, the two women had a long history together. They were even closer than actual sisters. “Come back. Come back to work for me.”
“I thought you didn’t trust me,” Duan Jinghong said with a whimper. “Weren’t you afraid that I’d betray you?”
“I only felt that way because I was too scared. I didn’t mean it. I’ve realized now that you would never betray me. Otherwise, you would have already exposed me to the public,” Song Xin explained. “Moreover, Emma has now been defeated by my grandfather. We should no longer hurt our friendship because of a person like that. Come back and work with me.”
Duan Jinghong looked away without a word.
“When your legs have recovered, we can go back to how we used to be and pretend that nothing happened. We are still good friends,” Song Xin coaxed as she tried to capture Duan Jinghong’s gaze.
“My legs…” Duan Jinghong touched her legs and replied, “I don’t know when they will recover.”
“It’s fine, I will wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you.”
Hearing this, Duan Jinghong lifted her head with a sense of longing, “Can we really return to how we used to be? What if you abandon me again?”
“I won’t; never again.”
Duan Jinghong thought for a moment and nodded her head, “OK. Give me some time to recover. To be honest, Emma tried to threaten me while you weren’t around, but I told her that you and I were one entity; if I testify against you, I would be testifying against myself. I know better than anyone how many plans I’ve executed with my own hands. No matter how stupid I am, I would never betray you.”
If Song Xin was still uncertain about Duan Jinghong’s words, these last few sentences were enough to dispel her doubts.
Duan Jinghong was right. Most of the time, Song Xin had merely given verbal orders. But, the one to execute it, had always been Duan Jinghong. If Duan Jinghong was to testify against Song Xin, she would be hurting herself. With this thought, Song Xin was a lot more reassured by Duan Jinghong. After all, she assumed that Duan Jinghong depended on her to survive.
Meanwhile, the outside world was indeed gossiping ridiculously about Emma. They claimed that she had offended a senior official, that she was banned by the industry and that she was missing because she was being detained for interrogation. Multiple versions and multiple possibilities were explored.
Her commercials had been canceled, her film was under review and her peers were claiming that she was arrogant. So, the public were certain that Emma was going to forever disappear from the industry.
Song Xin should be the happiest with this result.
“I don’t have to see Emma’s annoying face anymore. How satisfying.”
“Has Grandfather Song personally made a move?” Duan Jinghong guessed. “This time, Emma should be hit hard enough. Being supp**ssed by a government department is different to being supp**ssed by an agency. When an agency supp**sses someone, it can usually be resolved via the law or by changing companies. But, when it comes to a government department, no one can go against their orders.”
“This is where grandfather is amazing,” Song Xin laughed proudly.
“How far are you planning to push Emma?”
“I’m going to hurt her until she has a miscarriage!”
Song Xin’s response was extremely direct.
But, of course, this was Song Xin’s wishful thinking. Who did she think Emma was? Was she someone that was at the mercy of others?
Song Xin was going to find out very soon, how wrong she was.
…
A few days later, the product launch of a famous perfume brand was held in New York as scheduled. Of course, at this event, a figure that made everyone scream was to appear.
A famous male artist was invited to the event as a spokesperson. As he appeared on the red carpet, a few fans screamed in excitement; this was expected. But, no one considered that this famous perfume brand had an important business partner – Miller Corps.
So, a beautiful figure soon appeared in front of the media and the public. At first, everyone was stunned, but they quickly responded and snapped furiously at their cameras.
“Why is Emma here? Didn’t the rumors claim that she has been banned from the industry? How come she’s allowed to be here?”
“Rumors can’t be trusted. Judging by Emma’s exp**ssion, she hasn’t been impacted at all.”
“Emma must have appeared to dispel the rumors.”
“Emma, look over here and give us a smile!”
“Emma…”
…
No one expected that Emma would make an appearance. Since they hadn’t seen her for a while, they couldn’t help but chase after her. They wanted to hear from her personally whether the recent rumors were true.
The internet quickly followed this news. They even posted a photo of her wearing her long pink dress with her perfect posture.
Of course, Song Xin quickly saw this and her eyes widened in surprise. After confirming that it was actually Emma, she gave Duan Jinghong a phone call, “Have you heard? Emma is attending a product launch for a famous perfume brand today. How come someone still dared to invite her?”
Duan Jinghong did not know the reason either. She simply believed in Emma’s capabilities.
“No, I can’t let this b*tch make a comeback so quickly!”
Faced with Song Xin’s hostile panic, Duan Jinghong remained silent; she believed that Emma was brave and had nothing to fear.
“What’s the reason for this? How could this be? I’m going to ask grandfather!”
Meanwhile, Emma was in the middle of an interview.
“Miss Miller, recent rumors claim that you offended a senior official and have suffered the biggest crisis of your career. Is this true?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not attending this event today as an actress nor an artist. Don’t forget, I am still the chairwoman of Miller Corps. I’m simply attending today because this brand is a business partner of Miller Corps’, so I should show some support…”
In other words, she was here as the chairwoman of Miller Corps and not as an actress of Kaleidoscope’s!
It may be easy for Song Xin to supp**ss the actress Emma. But, if she wanted to supp**ss the chairwoman Emma, she would perhaps need to bribe the officials at the department of economic affairs.
As Song Xin watched this scene on her tablet, she wanted so badly to smash it on the ground.
Emma, you sure are capable!
“Does that mean you will be attending events as the chairwoman of Miller Corps from now on?” Since Emma changed the subject, the reporters quickly adjusted their questions as well. In actual fact, all they wanted to know was whether Emma had offended a senior official.
“At least for this event, I will be,” Emma played tai chi around the questions; she didn’t admit that she was being supp**ssed, nor did she deny it. This left the reporters with plenty to think about. “As the chairwoman of Miller Corps, I can still serve everyone.”
After that, Emma quickly left the interview area and entered the venue of the event.
Of course, Emma’s appearance provided her fans with a lot of reassurance. It was good to see that she was safe. After all, the rumors were much too frightening.
“My Emma is OK…”
“Unfortunately, she hasn’t clarified whether she is being bullied or not. The enemy mustn’t have considered the fact that even if Emma isn’t a model or an actress, she is still a chairwoman.”
“I reckon my Emma is being bullied. Otherwise, why would she draw a fine line with her identity as an actress?”
“Actually, it’s not bad for my Emma to be a chairwoman. No matter what she does, she is still my Emma!”
“My Emma is amazing!”
“What’s with all the talk about being supp**ssed and detained? My Emma is doing fine as a chairwoman.”
