555 The Secret About the Past 173 (1/2)

However, she would have to start using Weibo again in order to publicize the film.

As soon as she logged into her account, tons of private messages popped up on Sun Weiwei's screen, all of which consisted of heavy criticism and disparagement from angry netizens. The relentless and malicious comments greatly dampened her spirits.

One would easily become upset if they were to allow the opinions of others to affect themselves.

But of course, those who are thick-skinned would be exceptions.

She exited the Weibo page and gulped down an entire glass of plain water before slamming the empty glass onto the table with a loud thud.

”Knock, knock!”

”Who's there?”

There was no response. Sun Weiwei peeked through the peephole to find that the person outside had covered it.

”Just who are you? I'm not opening if you refuse to speak.”

”It's me.”

Sun Weiwei was startled to hear the familiar voice that she had not heard in a long time. ”What are you here for?”

”To have a good chat with you, of course. Open up.”

”There's nothing for us to talk about.”

”Do you think Bai Duocai will not destroy you if he finds out that you're the one who caused his sister's death?”

Sun Weiwei pulled the door open abruptly and glared at her former assistant. ”You're too shameless,” she hissed.

”I'm nowhere as shameless or despicable as you are. Although you were the one who instigated me to do those things, I've already pulled my connections and requested the hospital to delete all the surveillance camera footages, including those outside the hospital. We may have been codependent in the past, but, Sun Weiwei, I now have evidence against you while you have nothing against me.”

Sun Weiwei was astonished and dumbfounded. She initially thought that she was already malicious enough. Yet, she did not expect her former assistant to be far worse than her.

”What do you want?” Sun Weiwei questioned.

”I heard that you're Bai Duocai's woman now and he's even made you the female lead of a film. I don't quite have a job now too. Let me become your manager and we'll split your earnings between us.”

Sun Weiwei humphed and scoffed, ”Dream on. I don't have many jobs on hand now, I don't need a manager.”

”You must have a manager regardless of whether you need one or not! Isn't this how you used to treat me in the past when I was your manager? Besides, I'm cash-strapped now. It's time you work for me now that I have a hold on you. When you're not filming, I can help you take on jobs as a social escort. Spend a night with men at a luxurious hotel and you'll easily earn tens of thousands. Isn't that how it is?”

”You… I won't allow you to become my manager,” Sun Weiwei refused vehemently.

”Well, then, I'll have no choice but to tell Mr. Ye and Bai Duocai the huge secret you've been hiding. Bai Duocai would probably beat you into a pulp when he finds out. Do you really think he'll still support you through your career? Mr. Ye wouldn't let you off either. You have to consider carefully,” said the former assistant, sounding rather confident that Sun Weiwei would give in.

Sun Weiwei recalled the times when she used to be controlled by her former assistant. It was practically a living hell.

Glaring at the woman before her, Sun Weiwei conceded, ”Fine, I'll give in. Let's have a meal together this evening.”

”That's the way to go. I'll see you tonight, then?” The assistant left as soon as she finished speaking, smiling widely from ear to ear.

Yet, Sun Weiwei could not bring herself to smile at all.

She stared at the ground, pursing her lips tightly.

She was initially already in a bad mood after reading the comments on her Weibo page. However, being in a bad mood was now an understatement after hearing her assistant's threats.

She was on the verge of despair.

After having tolerated her former assistant for so long, she thought that she could finally break free from her clutches. However, there will never be a day that she would truly be free, so long as the assistant had a hold against her.

She was driving her into the corner!

Sun Weiwei bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly.

She then began preparing the necessary items she needed.

Finally, the sun had set and evening arrived.
