Chapter 5

Xu Wei got into the nanny car. She had just finished shooting a few night scenes and it was already dawn.

The assistant who had gone to buy coffee to refresh himself now ran over in a panic. There was no coffee cup in her hand, but there were coffee stains on her clothes: “Sister Weiwei, your next female lead role has been snatched away by Shen Qingshu!”

The makeup artist who was removing Xu Wei’s makeup trembled. That was Shen Qingshu, the first-line female star favored by the second young master of the Pei family. To say that this drama with a female lead is not a very good one, but considering the previous hot searches, the second young master of the Pei family is venting his anger for his sister.

Xu Wei’s sleepiness disappeared, she snatched the makeup remover cotton from the makeup artist’s hand and threw it on the ground: “Who is Chen Qingshu? She has slept with me for so many years, but she still has no status!”

The people in the nanny car held their breath and dared not answer.

Xu Wei said angrily: “Get out!”

Everyone did not dare to delay and got out of the car hurriedly and closed the door, fearing that Xu Wei would take her anger out on them.

Xu Wei quickly found her agent’s cell phone number and called, but it kept saying that the call was busy.

So I quit and sent her a few messages on WeChat to ask her.

More than ten minutes later, the agent called.

Xu Wei quickly asked, “Can we still try to negotiate?”

The agent said, “The penalty for breach of contract for that play has been paid, and there is nothing I can do. What is the current situation between you and the prince of the merchant company? If he is willing to come out and mediate, I think you can still try to negotiate, otherwise you will not be able to leave the entertainment industry in the future.”

She had just asked several friends in the industry to help her negotiate and inquire, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on. Who would dare to challenge Pei Yuchen openly?

He is the living dad of the entertainment industry and doesn’t give face to anyone. Do things as you please, without any stability, and your emotions are difficult to predict.

The agent was in a lot of trouble. Xu Wei was not considered a stunning beauty in the entertainment industry. She had only managed to reach the second-tier position with the help of plastic surgery and the help of her aunt who married into the Pei family and was willing to spend money to support and market her.

Xu Wei recalled the scene in the nightclub yesterday afternoon.

The young men in the private rooms were flirting with the female stars and ladies, hugging them from all sides.

Only Shang Heng was sitting there, like a banished immortal who was untainted by the world, pure, proud and aloof?

It was this person who voluntarily imprisoned himself for Pei Yuning, making her jealous for many years.

Shang Heng likes Pei Yuning, but Pei Yuning doesn’t know it, but Xu Wei knows it.

For some reason, Shang Heng’s love is always hidden, only showing a few bits and pieces, so little.

Pei Yuning has been spoiled since childhood, surrounded by passionate and unrestrained love.

In this state, she couldn’t see Shang Heng in her eyes.

During the long days when Shang Heng only looked at Pei Yuning, Xu Wei looked at Shang Heng secretly and cautiously.

It’s like drinking poison to quench thirst, just for your own pleasure.

Before entering the private room, Qi Yue told her that there was something added to the wine in front of Shang Heng, a small amount, just to add to the fun, so she could seize the opportunity later.

So Xu Wei stared at Shang Heng the whole time, and only stood up and toasted him when his eyes became a little unclear.

Shang Heng frowned, closed his eyes and ignored it.

Qi Yue teased, “Mr. Shang, you haven’t even gotten married yet, but you’re already dominated by your wife?”

“Miss Pei is not here, so don’t be so reserved. We brothers are keeping our mouths shut.”

Chen Xu said sarcastically, “That young lady can go to watch the male model’s strip show, and you just drank a glass of wine.”

“The beauty is toasting us, it would be unreasonable not to drink.”

Everyone followed suit, and it was not known whether Shang Heng was annoyed by the noise or irritated by some words. When he opened his eyes, Xu Wei was still standing beside him, still in the posture of handing him the wine, looking at him gently and smiling softly. Shang Heng took the wine and drank it.

So Xu Wei sat next to him and poured wine.

After a few more drinks, Shang Heng’s shoulders were already relaxed and a little hot. He squinted his eyes and untied his tie.

Xu Wei reached out and unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt.

Shang Heng looked over, and Xu Wei took the initiative to sit on his legs, kissing him amid the teasing and cheers of the crowd.

What happened next should have been a natural progression. The two went to the hotel and kissed passionately in the bathroom.

But at the last moment, Shang Heng seemed to suddenly wake up. He pushed her away with a grim expression, put on his clothes, left a card and left.

Thinking of this, Xu Wei said self-deprecatingly: “What could possibly happen between him and me?”

When the agent heard this, he knew that Shang Heng could not be relied upon. So he asked again: “Where is your aunt? What does she say?”

Xu Wei lowered her head and sneered. Her aunt was the smartest person, and she was like a dumb person who suddenly lost her voice and could not utter a word.

“Then go find the eldest daughter of the Pei family now. She is the key to this matter. Later on, maybe more than one drama in which you are the female lead will be terminated.” The agent persuaded, “Bring a recorder and a micro camera with you, and then you should be humble and beg her to show mercy. If she is unwilling, try to make her say a few unpleasant words, edit them and post them online, and naturally there will be fans to defend you. In this way, those investors who want to terminate the contract will be more cautious, and we will not be helpless.”

Xu Wei thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Pei Yuning got off the plane at nine o’clock, and her family arranged for a driver to pick her up.

There was a lot of traffic on the road, so she made a video call to Song Qingyi to chat and kill time.

After listening to her experience of having a romantic encounter last night, Song Qingyi sighed and said, “That Mr. Shang is quite good at fishing, baby. You are a poor little thing and can’t beat him.”

“I was a little passive at the time.” Pei Yuning took a bite of strawberry cake and continued, “It feels like although I have been actively asking him, he is the one who keeps track of the progress throughout the whole process.”

“Qingqing, you haven’t seen his face. Let me tell you this, he is on par with my two brothers. Maybe it’s because I’m used to seeing those two faces, so now I even think Shang Yanci is more handsome.”

“So capable?” Song Qingyi rarely heard her praise a man so actively, and asked with a smile, “Are you in love?”
