Chapter 53: It Is to Cherish the Moment

Chapter 53

Qi Yue didn't stay long before leaving, saying he had to prepare for the dissolution of his contract and inheritance of the family business.

Shen Tang was so envious that tears nearly spilled from the corners of her eyes.

She gossiped and asked, "Which Pei family was Qi Yue talking about earlier?"

Pei Kesong rubbed Shen Tang's hair, "Be good, don't ask about things you shouldn't."

Shen Tang pouted, "Nevermind if you won't say."

She'd ask Gu Huaian later.

Pei Kesong smiled gently, "You focus on recovering from your injury, and I'll tear up resources for you once you've healed."

"Actually, there's no need to work that hard..." Shen Tang didn't know whether or not to tell him about her plans to retire from the industry and live peacefully.

Clearly they were partners, yet she strangely felt as if she'd betrayed him. She didn't dare say a word.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make you a first-tier actress." Pei Kesong said earnestly.

Shen Tang opened her mouth: "Oh..."

Pei Kesong didn't stay long either. He still had a lot to deal with.

Although Shen Tang didn't know what he was busy with, after all, she was still his only artist.

The room emptied out again, and Shen Tang again felt bored.

Soon, faint footsteps sounded outside, followed by a soft knock on the door. "Shen Tang, are you there?"

Shen Tang jerked her head towards the door. That voice...

"I'm here, come in!"

A group of girls swarmed in, pushing each other. No one spoke first.

It had to be said, these girls were all very good-looking, a sight for sore eyes.

Shen Tang spoke first: "How are you all?"

"Very good!"

"We're fine, but you, how did you get injured so severely..."

"If not for us, you wouldn't have gotten hurt..." The girls began crying as they spoke.

Shen Tang hurried to comfort them, "Don't think too much, this was just an accident..."

She looked closely at the group and didn't see the bullied girl. Her heart lurched. "Is someone missing?"

"She's also hospitalized. Haven't you seen her?" The girls looked at her with large, confused eyes.

"Should I have seen her?" Shen Tang looked down at her thoroughly wrapped limbs. It was difficult just getting out of bed.

"She's also being treated at this hospital."

Shen Tang was angry. That damn Gu Huaian must have deliberately not told her!

She'd asked several times!

"Sit down, there's fruit here. Help yourselves, I can't get up to serve you all."

"Could it be because news broke that I'm hospitalized?"

"Yeah...more or less..." Huo Yingying had an expression like she was watching a good show. "Someone secretly took photos of you and said you were beaten and crippled by a legal wife after being discovered as the mistress."

Shen Tang: "..."

She said in disbelief: "No way people actually believed such an idiot rumor..."

"Ahem, congratulations on guessing right. Quite a lot of people online believed it."

Shen Tang frowned. "How come no one told me?"

"They were probably afraid to worry you. But don't worry, the perpetrator has been found out. It was a young nurse who got fired."

Shen Tang had a bizarre feeling of being forcibly involved.

"What was she after? Could she have been my anti?"

Huo Yingying shook her head. "I don't know. I just heard from others. I heard President Gu was very angry about it and is suing the big Vs who spread rumors online."

When you’re not on the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes still have legends about you.

Listening to Huo Yingying's words made Shen Tang's heart itch. She very much wanted to see what the situation online was like now.

To be honest, what she actually wanted more was to wildly boast about fighting off that wild boar with her bare hands. It was such an awesome feat she could brag about her whole life.

Thinking this, Shen Tang suddenly wondered what had happened to that wild boar. She still hadn't eaten wild boar meat!

She decided to ask Gu Huaian about it when he came by that evening.

As it neared dusk, Xu JiaoJiao also came.

Seeing so many people in the room, she didn't say much, just greeted them and sat to the side.

It wasn't until the others had left that she finally voiced her doubts: "I remember nothing like this happened in our last life."

"There are no absolutes in the world's affairs. Every choice will impact the road ahead. Don't cling to the past. You should cherish the present instead."

Shen Tang sighed, as if she had crossed into a book, she didn't always adhere to the plot either, but lived her own life instead.

Xu JiaoJiao was stunned for a moment, then revealed a bitter smile. "You're right. I was confused."

She could also clearly feel that the Shen Tang of this life was somewhat different from that of the previous life, with an indistinct feeling of estrangement.

"You...rest well, I'll come see you again tomorrow."

"No need."

Xu JiaoJiao's expression changed. "Tangtang, I..."

"You just started filming, right? Coming back and forth is too troublesome. And I'm doing fine here, don't worry."

Xu JiaoJiao smiled. "It's no trouble at all, I'm not tired."

"But you really should rest more these days. So I won't come tomorrow."

Shen Tang murmured in agreement.

After Xu JiaoJiao left, her expression collapsed.

She really has changed...
