Translator: 549690339
Lu Yao hadn’t expected Xia Yangyang to be so direct.
Although she asked, it sounded more like a statement.
Lu Yao lowered her head, her voice barely audible, “Why do you suspect me? So many people in the crew are jealous of you, why do you believe it’s me?”
The way Lu Yao asked was equivalent to admitting it.
Xia Yangyang was quite disappointed. She would have preferred if Lu Yao denied it.
Xia Yangyang replied, “Probably just intuition. You weren’t right those days, and, while I was in the hospital, you were the only one who didn’t come to see me.”
Lu Yao remained silent for a while before speaking up, “I did it. I knew you were allergic to peanuts, so I placed peanut powder under your pillow.”
Lu Yao suddenly looked up, “But I really didn’t know it would be that serious. I thought it was just like a normal allergy, causing small hives that would eventually disappear.”
Xia Yangyang spoke up, “Did Xia Weiwei tell you about my peanut allergy?”
Lu Yao’s voice fell once more, “Yes.”
Xia Yangyang said, “She wouldn’t have told you that inhaling peanut dust could cause me to have an allergic asthma attack, leading to difficulty breathing or even shock. I’ve always had a contentious relationship with my sister. While I expected her to come at me, I never thought she’d use you to do so.”
Lu Yao’s tears began to fall, “I’m sorry, Yangyang. I know it’s too late for explanations. I’ll voluntarily quit this drama and apologize to Director Yang. But for the sake of our school ties, can you please not expose this? If this is made public, I might not have a future in the entertainment industry.”
Xia Yangyang was silent for a long time.
Lu Yao didn’t hold much hope in her heart.
Why should Yangyang keep this secret when she brought her such harm?
Plus, given Xia Yangyang’s status and reputation, such a wealthy young lady is expected to settle grudges.
After a long time, Xia Yangyang finally spoke, “Let’s just forget about it. I’ll just say I ate something bad.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao jerked her head up in surprise, as if doubting her own ears, “What did you say? You’re really not going to bring it up? After what I did to you?”
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Xia Yangyang’s mouth, “There’s no benefit for me if you quit the play. However, after this incident, you should realize that Xia Weiwei does not consider your standpoints; she just wants to see me humiliated. I hope you won’t let her use you in the future. Moreover, you rushed me to the hospital immediately. This proves that you have a good heart.”
Tears clouded Lu Yao’s eyes. When she saw Xia Yangyang struggling to breathe, she had instantly regretted her actions.
She had never done such a thing before, but her jealousy had driven her to madness.
Lu Yao earnestly said, “Yangyang, I owe you one. If you ever need anything, just say the word and I won’t hesitate to help. It was a momentary lapse of judgment. Thank you for forgiving me.”
Xia Yangyang was silent for a while before asking, “Can you tell me why you were so distant towards me during that time? Why did you let Xia Weiwei manipulate you?”
Biting her lip, Lu Yao hesitated before speaking, “One night, I saw Chen Yu drive you home. I knew you two had eaten dinner together, yet you told me you ate at the food street. I felt like you were lying to me. Also, Xia Weiwei said you only took on this drama because of Chen Yu.”
Exhaling, Xia Yangyang guessed it would be this.
As expected, it was all because of that troublemaker Chen Yu..
