Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177
Xia Xue still looked very nervous; if it was true like Zhang Yang said, and Xiao Man knew about her and Zhang Yang, Xia Xue would be even more tense.
However, just as she was about to say something, Zhang Yang took the opportunity to shove the Big Baby in.
Xia Xue glared at Zhang Yang, but still cooperated well and started eating with relish.
Zhang Yang teased, “Would this count as the dark history of a future superstar?”
Xia Xue frowned, seemingly displeased with Zhang Yang’s comment.
“Dark history or not, if I had to choose, I’d be willing to give up my future career for you.”
Seeing Xia Xue kneeling on the bed, looking up with a determined expression, Zhang Yang also pulled back from the brink.
“Just teasing you, let me experience the charm of a future superstar first.”
“Who knows, when you’re busy in the future, there’ll be less time for me. I have to cherish it,” Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Then he pressed Xia Xue onto the bed, “Can the superstar do a split?”
For Xia Xue, this was a piece of cake.
Zhang Yang admired Xia Xue’s beautiful body from every angle. Newest update provıded by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
On this bed, he and Xia Xue unlocked many incredible positions.
It made Zhang Yang exclaim with satisfaction, the psychological pressure completely eased off, and Xia Xue felt the same, immersing herself in the happiness Zhang Yang brought her.
The two rolled around on the bed for over an hour before stopping, and calculated the time, the Starlight Award event should have already ended.
In the evening, there’s a celebration party prepared by Jiang Meiren, which is a customary practice.
Xia Xue and Shen Mange would attend, especially Shen Mange who specifically mentioned introducing a famous director to Xia Xue tonight.
Zhang Yang also joined the fun, but to avoid affecting their work, Zhang Yang brought Shen Jiayi, the twins, pregnant Xu Mengyan, and agent Chen Yun to have a separate table.
With this setup, once Jiang Meiren and the others were done, they could come over to relax and enjoy eating and drinking.
Everyone’s been under great pressure these days, Zhang Yang was very grateful for their help.
Chen Yun checked the time and said worriedly, “Why haven’t Shen Mange and Xia Xue returned yet? Even if they’re meeting a director, it shouldn’t take this long. Could something have happened? Surely they’re not being made to keep the others company by drinking?”
Having been an agent for some time, Chen Yun knew a bit about the dark side of this circle.
Especially among directors, hidden rules were all too common.
But Zhang Yang seemed unconcerned and said, “Shen Mange has been navigating this circle for years, what kind of people has she not seen? With Shen Mange there, Xia Xue will be fine.”
Shen Jiayi, who was enjoying her meal, lifted her head upon hearing this.
“Brother Zhang Yang is right, my sister is very impressive. There was once a director who said he would make my sister his leading lady, provided she would sleep with him.”
“Guess what happened next?” Shen Jiayi deliberately left a cliffhanger.
Chen Yun asked anxiously, “So what happened next? Your sister didn’t get taken advantage of, did she?”
“Can’t say she wasn’t inconvenienced at all. Though the bastard didn’t succeed, she was disgusted enough to not eat for several days.”
“From then on, my sister said that even if she’s looking for a boyfriend, she wouldn’t find someone from this circle.”
Shen Mange is smart, with her there, Xia Xue won’t be taken advantage of.
But what Zhang Yang and the others didn’t expect was that, despite Shen Mange’s cautiousness, she couldn’t guard against conniving individuals.
At that moment, in the next room, Shen Mange and Xia Xue were facing significant danger.
In the dim light, the room was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
Several unscrupulous-looking men sat around the table, their eyes revealing greed and ill intent.
Shen Mange and Xia Xue were cornered, their faces looking grim.
“Miss Shen, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Such a rare opportunity today, as long as you drink happily with us, the lead role in the movie is yours for the taking,”
One of the men with a brutish face said, his gaze wantonly scanning Shen Mange.
Shen Mange guarded Xia Xue tightly, a hint of vigilance and anger in her eyes: “Don’t try anything, I won’t agree to such unreasonable demands.”
“Pff, pretending to be noble. In this circle, who hasn’t come through ? You really think you can uphold that bit of dignity?” another man said sarcastically.
Xia Xue trembled slightly with fear, having never encountered such a situation, her heart full of terror.
Shen Mange sensed her fear, gently patted her hand, giving her an encouraging look.
“You people are going too far. If the public learns about your actions, you can forget about staying in this circle.” Shen Mange tried to use threatening words to make them retreat.
However, these men laughed indifferently.
“Hahaha, you think we’re scared? Just find an excuse later, who can do anything to us? If you two don’t comply today, don’t blame us for being rude.”
As one of the men spoke, he lunged at Shen Mange. Shen Mange quickly sidestepped but was blocked by another man.
Seeing this, Xia Xue wanted to rush over to help but was grabbed by a man and tossed aside.
Just as Shen Mange was struggling, the door to the room was suddenly flung open.
It turned out Zhang Yang sensed something was wrong and came over with several people.
“You bastards, what do you think you’re doing?” Zhang Yang shouted angrily, eyes wide.
The men were startled upon seeing Zhang Yang and others, but quickly regained their arrogant demeanor.
“Well, a hotheaded fellow, fancy poking your nose into our affairs? You need the skill to back it up though. We’re in a good mood today, so we’re giving you a chance to leave.”
Zhang Yang sneered, “If you dare lay a finger on them today, I’ll make sure you can neither eat nor run away.”
The situation instantly became tense, the atmosphere charged to the extreme.
Seeing Zhang Yang appear, Xia Xue and Shen Mange breathed a slight sigh of relief but still dared not relax.
Just then, a commotion outside suggested someone had called the police.
Upon hearing the noise, the men changed expressions, realizing prolonged trouble wouldn’t benefit them. They cursed and wanted to leave.
But Zhang Yang wasn’t about to let them off, stepping forward and blocking their way: “Leaving? Not so fast. There must be accountability for today’s incident.”
In fact, Zhang Yang could have resolved the situation through force directly, but some issues can’t be solved just at the surface; this circle is corrupt to its core.
Therefore, it would be better to follow proper procedures, ensuring these people understand that Shen Mange and Xia Xue aren’t the type who would easily succumb to hidden rules.
