  The actress was worked up as well. “You ought to come to your senses. Don’t end up hurting yourself because of your love for that man.”


  “Enough said!” Xiao Xue rose to her feet as she cast her friend a stormy look and screeched somewhat hysterically, “There’s no way he’ll treat me that way! Shishi, just stop what you’re doing……”


  Not expecting her to react this way, the other woman frowned and looked at her worriedly. “We’ve been friends for years…… I won’t hurt you; don’t you know that?”


  “Sorry……” Her mind was all over the place as she stroked her hair somewhat frantically, then she picked up her bag and told the actress, “I’m sorry, but…… I-I’m not feeling too well. I’ll have to leave first.”


  She then turned around and, without waiting for her friend’s response, made a beeline for the exit like a fleeing soldier.

  She walked so quickly and, with her mind being in a blank state, accidentally bumped into the waiter who had a serving tray in his hand.

  The coffee and dessert splattered all over the floor, while the cups and plates broke into pieces.

  Her eyes were brimming with tears by then. She ignored the incident and just dashed straight out of the café.

  Following behind, Yun Shishi, who was anxious to catch up to her friend, immediately apologized to the waiter and picked up the shards from the floor. “I’m so sorry; I apologize for the mess!”


  “It’s fine……”


  The waiter recognized her at a glance when he lifted his head and saw the woman.

  Earlier, he had failed to recognize her because there was a shadow cast on her face where she was seated, so he did not manage to take a good look at her. Now that they were in such proximity, he let out a shriek of excitement when he identified her. “Oh, my gosh! Are you…… Yun Shishi? Are you the actress who acted as Yin Xiachun?”


  “I—”


  She glanced at her friend who was running for the exit anxiously and wanted to chase after her, but the waiter grabbed her arm tightly and his orbs sparkled with adoration as he told her, “I’m a loyal fan of yours! I’ve watched your movie several times! Can I take a picture with you or, perhaps, get your signature?”


  “I’m sorry, but I have to go.”


  She placed two one hundred yuan notes in his hand then quickly ran out of the café after her friend. Unfortunately, she was a step too late, for she was greeted with the scene of her bestie starting the car’s engine and driving off as soon as she pushed open the door.

  “Xiao Xue!”


  She chased after the car for a bit but ultimately failed to catch up with it; she could only, thus, watched the car gradually disappear into the distance as she rubbed her hair and bit her bottom lip in frustration and regret.

  She was somewhat disappointed in how her friend had reacted as well……

  Meanwhile, Xiao Xue was speeding on the road, but despite her excellent driving skills, her sense of direction was somewhat off today due to her irritated mood.

  Nevertheless, she stepped hard on the accelerator, which caused the car to shoot forward, driving until she came to a stop outside a villa. She put the car to parking mode then alighted from it and stood outside, feeling conflicted.

  This was where Gao Nan lived.

  She had unconsciously driven all the way to his place, wanting to see him right away, but as soon as she stopped here, she suddenly felt hesitant whether she should go verify the truth with him or not.

  She found herself to be akin to a coward, not daring to probe further, for she would be unable to accept it either way!

  If her friend was indeed telling the truth, it would mean that the man she loved so dearly had indeed, as her friend said, betrayed her love, abased her, and even looked down on her!
