Chapter 218: Chapter 217: Not Just Anyone Can Touch (19)

Dong Xin Yan was just stating a fact, but her calm tone sounded like a provocation to Tang Qian. Since her debut, everyone had been unfailingly respectful to her because of her status as the Tang Family’s heiress, even the top-tier Celebrities in the circle dared not put on airs in front of her. Yet, Dong Xin Yan dared?

Tang Qian, furious yet laughing, looked at Dong Xin Yan with eyes full of icy coldness, directly piercing toward her, "Dong Xin Yan, don’t think that just because you climbed into some man’s bed, you can act arrogantly here. I’m telling you, no matter which man you’re leaning on, I don’t take them seriously. Do you believe that with just a word, I can make you unable to survive in this circle?"

Dong Xin Yan believed that having been by Gu Ningyi’s side for so many years, her temper had long been polished to be calm, tolerant, and compromising. And since entering this circle, she had been even more cautious, avoiding offending others easily.

The things Tang Qian was saying now, she had not heard them any less in the past few days, or even more unpleasant words, and she had tried very hard to ignore them, pretending not to hear them.

But human patience is limited, and Dong Xin Yan was never the kind of person who would offer the other cheek when slapped.

She couldn’t fight against Gu Ningyi, that was because of Ziyang. But what did Tang Qian count as? Did she really think she was a pushover, easy to pinch?

The grudge of those dozen slaps, she still remembered!

Tang Qian’s words finally stirred up the suppressed anger in Dong Xin Yan. She suddenly curved her lips and softly replied, "I believe you!"

This reaction from Dong Xin Yan unexpectedly caught Tang Qian off guard, leaving her stunned and without a comeback.

But Dong Xin Yan continued, "So, before I can’t survive, I want to return some things to you!"

With her lips curved, in a soft voice and a calm demeanor, who would have thought that the moment she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Tang Qian cleanly!

But after the first slap, she didn’t withdraw her hand but raised it again, slapping Tang Qian’s face repeatedly.

-

Gu Group.

Today was the regular Monday morning meeting. Gu Ningyi sat in the spacious conference room, looking absent-minded.

The department manager was reporting the performance of the month enthusiastically, but not a single word reached Gu Ningyi’s ears, because his mind was filled only with thoughts of Dong Xin Yan.

Today she should have returned to the set for filming, so she must have seen the revised script, right? She must be able to guess that it was his doing. What would her expression be upon knowing this? Would she... be happy?

Probably, she would be, right?

She had taken those dozen slaps from Tang Qian, making her face swell, surely she was unresigned. On this matter, he knew her well.

She always called him petty, vengeful for the slightest grievance, but wasn’t Dong Xin Yan the same?

So, he didn’t directly deal with Tang Qian, instead, he gave Dong Xin Yan the chance for revenge, allowing her to seek justice rightfully.

Thinking about it, his heart moved slightly. Suddenly, he really wanted to go over to the set to see her.

It had been a long time since he last saw Dong Xin Yan’s arrogant little expression. He really... missed it a bit.

Gu Ningyi tapped his fingers softly on the conference table twice, then raised his eyebrow slightly, sweeping his gaze around the room, and spoke calmly, "Today’s meeting is adjourned."
