Zhao Xinshu’s words could be said to be heartbreaking.

All the accusations hit the nail on the head.

“Qing Qing.” Shen Mubei held her arm. Seeing that she was helpless and blaming herself, his voice darkened. “Zhao Xinshu and I weren’t in a relationship of many years like she said.”

Xiao Qing did not believe him. She shook her head blankly. “Let me be alone.”

“I did spend time with her, but it was just a condition to repay her. I promised her that I would give her three years to see if I would really fall in love with her. But two and a half years passed, and I failed, because at that time, you reappeared in my life.”

His words were low and sincere, but Xiao Qing could not react for a moment and could not grasp the key.

However, her eyes began to come alive.

She shook her head. “I don’t understand.”

“A few years ago, something happened in my family. My father was investigated, and my mother was busy with family matters. The entire Shen family was almost destroyed.”

“I know about this.” Xiao Qing nodded.

“At that time, my leg was injured, and my family was facing trouble. I almost fell into depression and locked myself at home for half a year.”

“I know about this too.”

Shen Mubei said in a low voice, “Zhao Xinshu came to see me and wrote me a lot of letters. Those words rekindled my hope. I walked out of the haze, and my leg injury slowly recovered. I brought the Shen family out of the valley. I’m very grateful to her, but I know that I don’t like her. I owed her such a huge favor, so I promised to give her all the resources she wanted and make her famous. I also promised her that I would fulfill a condition.”

Xiao Qing’s breathing was about to stop. She felt something appear in her mind, but it was too ethereal to be grasped or understood.

She heard him say in a low voice, “I agreed to her condition and became her boyfriend in name. But I couldn’t force myself to like someone I didn’t, so I told her that I was only willing to give her three years. If I still couldn’t like her after three years, I would break up with her, and she agreed.”

Hence, he took those photos with her out of his promise to her.

He had never brought her to meet his family, nor had he brought her to public events. He had never announced her identity as his girlfriend because he had always known clearly that he had not really accepted her.

If he announced it casually, it would hurt not only him but also her.

Zhao Xinshu had agreed in the beginning. She was very obedient in the first year, so Shen Mubei always tried his best to satisfy her with resources. However, he could not do anything else.

In the second year, she started to make a fuss. Shen Mubei still followed his own pace and did not indulge her.

In the third year, he realized that it was really impossible for him to like her, so he tried his best to be distant.

Although he could not develop feelings for Zhao Xinshu, he had always tried his best to support her in terms of resources.

It was all thanks to Shen Mubei that Zhao Xinshu was able to meet the producers and directors of projects before the other artistes. She was able to get the scripts in advance and join casts without any special auditions.

The more resources Shen Mubei gave her, the more he knew that he could not give her the feelings she wanted.

However, Zhao Xinshu did not think so. She always believed that as long as she worked harder, the two of them would have a chance.

The more she pushed him, the farther Shen Mubei retreated. It was not until Xiao Qing appeared that Shen Mubei’s last bit of patience finally reached its limit. He suggested to Zhao Xinshu that their relationship be terminated in advance and offered the leading role in two movies to compensate her.

Zhao Xinshu had agreed, but she went back on her word, which was why she became a D-list celebrity.

“This is about me and Zhao Xinshu. The reason why I didn’t tell you before was because I didn’t think it was necessary for you to know about this small matter between us.”

Shen Mubei had never considered Zhao Xinshu in his life, so he had never treated her as an important person.

However, he did not expect her to suddenly cause such a huge storm.

Xiao Qing had already completely understood. It turned out that this was the truth.

The burden that had been weighing on her heart was finally swept away. She had let no one down, and she would no longer bear the pressure of her morality. She nodded gently. “I understand.”

“Leave this to me. I’ll handle it,” Shen Mubei said in a low voice.

Xiao Qing did not say much. In fact, she was thanking Zhao Xinshu.

At that stage, Shen Mubei’s life was definitely not easy. It was Zhao Xinshu who gave him encouragement and strength. It was human nature for him to be willing to repay this act of kindness.

However, there was no compromise when it came to love.

After Zhao Xinshu posted this, she was actually nervous.

She had never understood Shen Mubei’s temper. He had never smiled at her, and his attitude toward her had always been cold.

She had asked him for everything she wanted countless times.

At this moment, Zhao Xinshu had already given up and lowered her posture.

“What are you worried about?” Zhang Xi blew on the nail polish that she had just applied on her hand. “Shen Mubei’s resources are completely different from mine. In the future, when I give you roles, he won’t care so much.” “Miss Zhang, why are you targeting Shen Mubei?” Zhao Xinshu asked.

“Am I targeting Shen Mubei?” Zhang Xi hid an interested smile.

Zhao Xinshu suddenly realized that the person Zhang Xi hated was Xiao Qing. She hated her for deliberately changing the script and plot back then, causing her to be defeated in I Am An Actor.

She immediately understood and felt the same hatred.

However, she was also a little worried. “But how can Shen Mubei let me slander Xiao Qing so easily?”

“Do you know that Xiao Qing lost her child?”

“Really?” Zhao Xinshu looked ecstatic. “No wonder I didn’t hear any news of their marriage after that. It turns out that Xiao Qing’s child is gone. Hahahaha.”

As long as Xiao Qing was not by Shen Mubei’s side, she would have a new opportunity. Her madness on Weibo could also be explained as her wanting to save Shen Mubei.

Zhao Xinshu immediately posted a few more posts on Weibo confessing to Shen Mubei.

Shen Mubei sent Xiao Qing home. On the way, Madam Shen called.

Madam Shen’s roar could even be heard by Xiao Qing, who was at the side. “Shen Mubei, come back! Do you think you’re all grown up now? Have you learned how to be like those scumbags outside? Explain to me about the matter on Weibo immediately!”

“Mom, I’ll send Xiao Qing home first..”
