Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Face-to-Face Confrontation_1

Xia Qingtian had told Bo Jingyan she was looking for an assistant for Cheng Bingbing, but she never imagined that he would be so thoughtful as to find a female assistant for her specifically.

Apart from Xia Qingtian, Cheng Bingbing, the person directly involved, was very satisfied with the assistant that Bo Jingyan had chosen.

The assistant briefly acquainted herself with Cheng Bingbing and then officially started work.

In the evening, Cheng Bingbing didn’t return to the city and stayed in a hotel not far from the film studio with the crew. The assistant that Bo Jingyan brought over also stayed to take care of her.

So, the only ones who went back were Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan.

Since Bo Jingyan had helped her out with such a big problem, Xia Qingtian naturally wanted to show her gratitude.

Since it still was early, she realized it’s been a while since she had cooked for Bo Jingyan. Today she decided to personally cook a delicious meal as a treat for him.

Bo Jingyan, of course, happily accepted this proposal.

The two went to the shopping mall and casually bought some ingredients, then drove back to the villa.

On the way back, Xia Qingtian was discussing with Bo Jingyan about what dishes she planned to cook tonight, "I will be making Sichuan dishes for tonight, a boiled fish, mapo tofu, pork slices in garlic sauce...ah!"

Without finishing her sentence, the car they were in suddenly hit the brakes, startling her.

Fortunately, she followed the traffic rules strictly and wore her seat belt. Otherwise, due to inertia, she likely would have flown through the windshield.

"What happened?" Xia Qingtian looked at Bo Jingyan with lingering fear.

Bo Jingyan’s face didn’t look too good either. He replied, "Someone suddenly ran out."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian immediately looked forward.

Indeed, she saw a very thin figure standing in the middle of the road, arms spread wide.

It was just two meters between Bo Jingyan and the person in the middle of the road. If it wasn’t for his timely braking, the person would definitely have been hit and thrown into the air by now... But...

Xia Qingtian felt that the person in the road seemed familiar?

However, it was already night and the street was somewhat dim, so she couldn’t see very clearly.

She pulled Bo Jingyan’s arm and asked him, "Don’t you think the person blocking the car looks familiar?"

Bo Jingyan frowned and looked over.

Before he could make out who it was, the person had already moved first, "Brother Jingyan, it’s me..."

As she spoke, she quickly approached them.

This time, without needing to look closer, Xia Qingtian recognised who it was.

"Shi Qian..." Bo Jingyan frowned and a hint of disgust flashed across his face. He had also recognized who had just blocked the car.

Yes, the person blocking the car was indeed Shi Qian.

Seeing Shi Qian, Xia Qingtian found it hard to maintain a pleasant expression.

Shi Qian looked extremely haggard, as if she had lost a lot of weight.

As an actress, she was already thinner than most people. Now that she had lost a lot of weight, she looked even more emaciated, which did bestow upon her a certain sense of pity.

Unfortunately, Bo Jingyan didn’t have a soft spot for women. When he saw her in such a miserable condition, he showed no sympathy, and warned her coldly, "Move away, don’t block the road."

Upon encountering his ruthless demeanor, Shi Qian couldn’t help but feel hurt, but she didn’t move away.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Bo Jingyan, "Brother Jingyan, I’ve found out... The reason I was replaced by Director Zhao, and the entertainment industry blacklisting me, were all your doing. Why did you treat me like this?"

As she finished talking, two lines of tear drops quickly rolled down her cheeks, making her appear even more pitiful and helpless.

"Do you really not know why I treated you this way?" Bo Jingyan’s gaze was devoid of any softness he showed around Xia Qingtian; all that was left was a sharp coldness.

Sensing this gaze, Shi Qian involuntarily stepped back a few steps and fear began to creep into her heart.

However, thinking about her miserable situation recently, she knew she could not afford to lose her composure.

Her phone had been smashed. After she bought a new one and put in her SIM card, she received countless calls from previous collaborators demanding payment and pressuring her so much that she was on the verge of a breakdown.

Bo’s mother had promised to help her, but most of her assets were in her home country. To liquidate these assets required a lot of paperwork and time. Her penalty for breach of contract was in the billions.

Bo’s mother didn’t have that much cash in hand.

When she refused to pay the penalty, the collaborators began finding ways to get their money back.

Given Bo’s mother’s status, they would usually show some respect.

Unfortunately, the person who blacklisted her was Bo Jingyan.

Although Bo’s mother was Bo Jingyan’s mother, when their words and actions contradicted each other, everybody chose to respect Bo Jingyan. This incident was a perfect example.

Shi Qian could no longer bear this torment.

So, despite Bo’s mother’s opposition, she tracked Bo Jingyan’s route, and waited here specifically for him, in order to persuade him to lift the ban on her.

As long as Bo Jingyan was willing to say something, she would still be the shining star of the entertainment industry with a bright future.

The contract partners, who had signed with her, could continue to collaborate with her.

And she would not need to bear a debt of billions; it would be like hitting several birds with one stone.

With these thoughts in mind, Shi Qian looked at Bo Jingyan with hope in her eyes, "Brother Jingyan, there must be some misunderstanding. I have been behaving well recently and didn’t do anything."

Seeing her pretend not to know, Bo Jingyan had no intention of indulging her.

He directly pointed out, "You framed Qingtian as a homewrecker, incited your fans to cyberbully her, even came to her personally to harm her."

Shi Qian’s face turned from green to pale.

She had not expected that events she’d so carefully concealed would be discovered.

However, she left this task to her assistant.

And she never explicitly instructed the assistant. It was always through insinuation and manipulation, so that no one could really hold her accountable.

Reassured by this thought, Shi Qian said innocently, "Brother Jingyan, I didn’t make anyone harm Xia Qingtian. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate. If you can provide evidence that I did, I’ll accept any punishment."

"If you can’t, please give me back my innocence and stop making things difficult for me, okay?"

Seeing Shi Qian confidently defending herself, Xia Qingtian realized that she probably had covered her tracks well and that evidence wouldn’t be easily found.

She subconsciously looked at Bo Jingyan, curious about his next move, wondering if he’d agree to Shi Qian’s challenge.

If he did, it undoubtedly would mean he had fallen into a trap set by Shi Qian.

After listening to Shi Qian’s words, Bo Jingyan’s face remained expressionless, "There’s no need to waste time."
