Chapter 29 - Facing A Predicament (2/2)

She quickly checked her phone but there was still no news. Neither Sister Ming nor her assistant had called her.

Chi Yaoxi felt that no one could understand the bitterness in her heart. She had thought that her most trusted partners, Sister Ming and her assistant would understand and support her, and would overcome difficulties together after working with them for so long. She did not expect that they would abandon her at such a time.

Chi Yaoxi closed her eyes sadly. Where should she go from now on? When would she be able to make a comeback and get through this crisis?

Her phone vibrated and rang all of a sudden, startling Chi Yaoxi. She quickly took it and saw that it was Sister Ming. Chi Yaoxi did not know what Sister Ming wanted to say, so she answered the call nervously.

“Yaoxi, many of your advertisements have been cut. I only managed to keep one. I’m really sorry.”

Chi Yaoxi remained silent for a long time. In the next moment, she couldn’t help but cry tears of joy.

It turned out that Sister Ming didn’t abandon her. Instead, she was running around helping her to maintain her resources.

“Yaoxi, are you listening?”

“Yes, yes, Sister Ming.” Chi Yaoxi hurriedly sat up and listened attentively. “To think that such a thing would happen to you. You’re really unlucky. You’ve seen it in the media. It’s a complete mess. There are even some who say that you’ve become a murderer.”

“I know, I’ve seen it. Thank you, Sister Ming.” When Chi Yaoxi heard Sister Ming’s words, she was so excited that she almost cried again.

“Aiya, what do you know inside? I’ve already said that Assistant Wang wasn’t reliable and you should have gotten another assistant earlier. You could tell that she was afraid of being implicated and disappeared all of a sudden. It has made me handle the matters personally. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in the past two days either. I’m so tired that I can’t take it anymore.”

Chi Yaoxi used to dislike Sister Ming’s nagging, but today, she listened attentively and felt that Sister Ming’s nagging and criticisms were very cordial.

“Sister Ming, I’m sorry. I was careless and caused so much trouble,” Chi Yaoxi apologized sincerely.

Sister Ming knew that Chi Yaoxi had suffered quite a bit in the detention center. She said with heartache, “You don’t have to apologize. We’re in a lot of trouble now, but you don’t have to worry. We’ve already investigated the truth of that incident. I’ll do my PR, and things will get better in the future.”

Upon hearing Sister Ming’s words, Chi Yaoxi felt encouraged. She knew that with Sister Ming around, her acting career would not be a problem. “Okay, Sister Ming, I will definitely work hard. I will do better than before.”

Chi Yaoxi put down the phone, her heart jumping with joy. So the person who cared about her and supported her had always been here. She got out of bed and pulled open the curtains. Warm sunlight shone through the glass window. Chi Yaoxi was in a good mood. She tidied up the bed and walked out of the room.

A strong fragrance wafted from the kitchen. Xiao Ye hadn’t left yet?

Chi Yaoxi took a few steps forward and saw a big man wearing a flowery apron walking around the kitchen.

Chi Yaoxi strode into the kitchen and hugged Xiao Ye’s arm. “I suddenly feel so blessed! Thank you, Xiao Ye! How can I repay your kindness?”

Seeing that Chi Yaoxi had returned to her usual energetic self, Xiao Ye was genuinely happy. He turned around and scratched Chi Yaoxi’s nose. Looking at her up close, he said seriously, “Do you really want to repay me? Then, marry me.”

Chi Yaoxi was stunned for a few seconds, then she smiled and punched Xiao Ye. “Do you want to harm me? I don’t want to be stepped on by so many women out of jealousy.”
