Chapter 552: Chapter 552: My lady, you must control your urges Chapter 552: Chapter 552: My lady, you must control your urges “I know you’re afraid of people accusing you of using the casting couch, so you’ve never let me act in your films,”
“I have such a natural talent for acting, but you buried my gifts for the sake of your own reputation.

Xu Jiayang, your downfall today is all because of your obstinacy and refusal to change!

And you’re such a chauvinist, not wanting me to become a star. Not only did you prevent me from acting in your films, but you also forbid other directors from hiring me.”

“The reason I didn’t let you act in my films is because you weren’t ready!”

Disappointment filled Xu Jiayang’s eyes.

He made films based on merit, not connections, and Chu Ying had absolutely no acting experience.

Being a renowned director, he had very high standards for his movies.

How could he let an actor with insufficient experience and awkward skills ruin his production?

“I’m not ready?”

Chu Ying felt provoked and laughed with a touch of madness.

“Look at my achievements today, and you dare say I’m not ready?

My choice back then was indeed the right one. Only Wan Ke could help me become famous, and you, you’re just fit to be despised by everyone!

Let me tell you the truth, the only reason I was with you initially was because I valued your status as a director, thinking you could make me a huge star.

But you were useless, so I had to turn to Wan Ke.

Now I’ve made it, and you, you’ll always be a loser!”

Xu Jiayang gazed at the woman in front of him, feeling like she was a stranger.

It turns out the love he believed in was just a stepping stone for someone else.

“What about the child,” Xu Jiayang asked calmly.

The past incidents, he’d chalk them up to being blind!

He didn’t want to pursue further, he just wanted to know about the child.

“Is that child mine?”

He used to think Leng Yan’s words were nothing but hot air.

But now, facing such a stranger in Chu Ying, he suddenly felt inclined to believe Leng Yan.

Chu Ying smiled coldly, her eyes full of irony.

“You mean that child? Of course, it’s not yours.”

Anyway, Xu Jiayang was now worthless to her.

So she wasn’t afraid to spill the beans.

Stinging this man was an added bonus.

“I had already started seeing Wan Ke by then, and naturally, the child is his.

However, he didn’t want to take responsibility, so I thought I’d make you take the fall.

You fool, I got you drunk that night, claimed we slept together, and you actually believed it.

I’ve never seen someone so foolish, not even knowing whether they’ve been with a woman or not.

Oh right, the blood on the couch was from a cut I made on your hand.

I told you it was from cutting yourself while drunk, and you actually believed it, hahaha.

I have never met a man as dumb as that.”

Xu Jiayang couldn’t describe what he was feeling inside.

Taking a deep breath, “And later, why did you help Wan Ke against me?

Even if I didn’t promote you, I never harmed you.”

At this, Chu Ying’s expression turned fierce, “Never harmed me? My child was lost because of you!

If it weren’t for you and that bastard Leng Yan, would I have been so stressed that I fell down the stairs?

You killed my child, so I resolved to destroy everything you have!

Moreover, Wan Ke promised me, as long as I made you fall from grace, he would support my career.

All of this, you owe me!”

Xu Jiayang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot.

About to explode with rage, Xia Weibao, who was hiding and eavesdropping, feared he couldn’t handle the blow and might actually kill in his anger.

So she tried to find a way to separate the two.

Glancing at another small pavilion not far away, she picked up a pebble from the ground.

With Inner Strength, she flicked it gently.

She only intended to cause a distraction, to scare Chu Ying away.

But she hadn’t meant to use so much force.

Boom–
The small pavilion… collapsed.
