"I did that to save you," he replied matter-of-factly .
"I believe that you are a sensible girl . " He looked her in the eye and said, "You didn't shed a tear despite the situation you were put through earlier . "
"I'm… used to it . " Her shoulders shrugged slightly as his words hit her tender spot .
He slightly bent over and pushed back her fringe to have a better look at her, his lips curving into a gentle smile .
"You don't have to be strong as a girl . A child who knows when to cry gets a candy . "
She silently pondered on his words .
She had always been a sensible girl from a young age . In fact, she was too strong-willed . She would rather bear the burden than complain about it .
However, the longer she had to bear, the heavier it got .
She pursed her lips and smiled . "Thank you . I understand what you mean now . "
"Hey! A girl like you should know when to take advantage of your assets . "
His eyes sparkled as an idea flashed through his mind . "It will be a pity if you merely become my assistant . With your assets, you are suited to acting . Huanyu has invested in a film called the 'The Green Apple' . There is a nationwide audition for the female lead role right now . Do you want to try auditioning for it?"
She became slightly hopeful because of his convincing words .
"This is an invitation letter . Tomorrow is the last day of the audition . I'll be there, too . " He passed to her a compact and well-designed card .
This card, unlike a normal one, came with fine details, with gold trimmings and a lace clasp . This was a high-end, one-of-the-kind, invitation letter .
It was evident how much importance and admiration he had for her from this gesture .
From outside the glass window, one could see that it was raining .
Gu Xingze's assistant hurried over and was surprised to find him speaking to a slender-looking girl .
"Xingze, she is…"
"Oh!" The superstar was unsure of how to introduce Yun Shishi to the assistant .
Yun Shishi was still tipsy from the alcohol, but she managed to give a polite reply . "How are you? My surname is Yun . I'm Yun Shishi!"
"Oh, Shishi . What a nice name," the assistant praised with a smile .
The three chattered away as they walked toward the parking lot .
A Bentley was parked at the side of the road .
Yun Tianyou, who had been waiting for a while, finally saw his mother exit the place . He moved to get off the car to pick her up .
Li Hanlin stopped him quickly . "Director Yun, it's raining heavily right now . I'll go; you wait in the car . "
"Oh, thanks . "
Li Hanlin smiled, took out an umbrella, and alighted from the car .
Gu Xingze's nanny van was parked not far from the Bentley . As the three of them were about to get into the van, they saw a man in a smart-looking suit approaching them .
"Miss Yun, I'm here to pick you up . "
Gu Xingze's mind was full of questions as he eyed Li Hanlin and the extravagant car behind him .
This man looked prim and proper and should hold a high position, yet he spoke with extreme courteousness and gentleness to Yun Shishi .
Who is he? Is he really here to pick her up?
He had encountered such scenarios before .
In this industry, there were many actresses who might appear pure and innocent on the screen but actually had sugar daddies in reality .
Whether as an escort or giving sexual favors, they were willing to use any dirty means to move ahead .
He had been in the show business for a decade, so he knew how dirty this industry was .
Those listed stars would normally have a few sugar daddies .
Actresses would rotate between a few paymasters like disposable merchandise .
Is this girl the same, too?
