It always got very busy at the end of the year.

  Xia Cha and Huo Heng were no exception.

  Xia Cha did not know what Huo Heng was busy with. If he did not tell her, she would not ask.

  They didn’t have to be together all the time. Even if they didn’t say anything when they saw each other once in a while, they still felt sweet just looking at each other.

  During their time together, Xia Cha gradually understood more about Huo Heng.

  Although he looked evil, he would not force her to do anything.

  As long as she was unwilling, he would respect her.

  Every time they met, he would give her a little surprise.

  Xia Cha used to think that dating would affect her work and studies.

  However, after she got together with Huo Heng, he would help her solve any problems she encountered in her studies.

  When it came to work, she had to memorize advertisement lines and he would practice with her.

  In this state, Xia Cha looked radiant and beautiful.

  After the release of the new single, the market response was very good. In addition to Sister Jin’s connections and resources, Xia Cha received several offers for advertisements as well as a variety show.

  On this day, Sister Jin asked Xia Cha to go to the company and finalize the shooting time with her.

  When Xia Cha arrived at the entrance of the company, she bumped into Xia Furong and Xia Zi.

  Xia Zi was now Xia Furong’s assistant. However, ever since she came here, she realized that it was different from what she imagined.

  In her imagination, Xia Furong must be very busy every day since she was a huge star.

  If she went out to participate in any events, she would definitely be the center of attention.

  Previously, Xia Furong’s face was injured so she couldn’t show her face in public. But now that her face had recovered, why wasn’t she getting the resources?

  Moreover, what was even stranger was that Xia Furong’s manager hadn’t contacted her for a long time. Even the chauffeur and car had been taken back by the company.

  The two of them had come to the company today in a taxi.

  It had been a long time since Xia Furong appeared in public. Even though she wasn’t wearing a mask when she came out today, no one had recognized her.

  This was how celebrities were. If they did not appear for a period of time, they would lose their popularity and be forgotten.

  Besides, Xia Furong had never been a top-tier artiste before.

  Xia Furong hadn’t worked for a long time. The company said that they would give her a break for a period of time. However, her manager had not contacted her recently and she couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong.

  Xia Furong and Xia Zi looked at Xia Cha who was getting out of the car.

  After not seeing her for a while, Xia Cha had become prettier.

  Xia Furong looked at the car and bodyguards that the company was giving Xia Cha. Her eyes were filled with jealousy and indignance.

  Xia Cha used to be an ugly duckling in the Xia family.

  But now, she had become a slightly famous celebrity.

  She looked so beautiful and elegant even in a casual outfit.

  Xia Furong didn’t want to lower herself in front of Xia Cha, nor did she want to admit defeat. She raised her chin and walked into the company with Xia Zi in her high and mighty posture.

  Xia Zi snorted when she passed Xia Cha.

  When Xia Furong arrived at the company, she didn’t find her manager. She found out that Sister Jin had become the company’s Vice-President and was responsible for the allocation of managers. As such, she went to Sister Jin’s office.

  Xia Cha was discussing the shooting of the advertisement in Sister Jin’s office.

  Xia Furong walked in without knocking. Her face was filled with anger.

  Xia Furong had been signed into the company by Huo Third Master. From the very beginning, Xia Furong had always felt that she was superior to others.

  “Sister Jin, why did you stop working as my manager?”


  Sister Jin glanced at Xia Furong. “The company has our own arrangements.”


  Xia Furong frowned. “What arrangements? Are you trying to flatter Xia Cha and not me?”


  “Sister Jin, don’t forget that Third Master signed me personally.”


  “That’s right. How is our Furong not comparable to Xia Cha? Xia Cha used to be an ugly duckling in our Xia family. She’s ugly and stingy. She has a petty nature that can’t be changed. Even if you support her, she won’t succeed,” Xia Zi interrupted.

  Xia Cha looked at Xia Furong and Xia Zi.

  Did the two of them think that everyone would give in to them and pamper them like the Xia family did?

  Xia Cha sat at the side and did not speak, as if she was not the one being belittled.

  Sister Jin only had Xia Cha as her artiste now. She admired Xia Cha and felt that she was very malleable.

  Xia Furong and Xia Zi said this because they doubted her standard and her taste!

  Sister Jin looked at Xia Furong. “I advise you to go back and take a few more looks at the contract you signed with the company when you have time. It’s good enough that I didn’t terminate the contract with you and expose what you did.”


  When Xia Furong heard this, she thought that Xia Cha had exposed the video of her and Cheng Hao. She immediately glared at Xia Cha with an ashen face, “You bitch, you actually went back on your words and exposed my video with Cheng Hao. You will die a horrible death!”


  “The video of you and Cheng Hao?” Sister Jin looked at Xia Furong and then at Xia Cha. “Why didn’t you tell me that there was such a thing?”


  Xia Furong, “…”


  Was it not about the video?

  Looking at the confused Xia Furong, Sister Jin didn’t want to waste her breath on her. “Did you steal the gown that Bai Tong wore for the annual party?”


  Xia Furong blinked. “Sister Jin, I picked up the gown in the washroom!”


  Sister Jin sneered. “You actually found such a low-level excuse.” Sister Jin took out her phone and played a video. “Look at it yourself.”


  In the video, Xia Cha entered the washroom first. Not long after, Xia Furong also entered the washroom.

  A few minutes later, Xia Furong went out sneakily with the YG dress in her hand.

  “YG designed a limited edition gown for Xia Cha. It’s the only one in the world. It’s worth a lot. If I call the police, I can sentence you to jail for decades. However, since you’re a signed artist, I didn’t disclose this matter. However, you must pay the price for doing this!”


  “From now on, the company will not assign you any work until ten years later when you terminate your contract with the company.”


  Ten years later, she would be in her thirties. Even if she terminated her contract, no other agency would want her.

  What Sister Jin did… was equivalent to blacklisting her!

  “Sister Jin, I didn’t steal the gown. The gown was placed at the sink at that time. I saw no one in the washroom so I took it away… I thought that the Third Master had YG design the gown for Bai Tong…”


  As Xia Furong spoke, she seemed to understand something. She glared at Xia Cha with red eyes, “It’s you, right? You deliberately framed me!”


  Xia Cha smiled slightly. “Sister Furong, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


  Xia Furong stepped forward and wanted to hit Xia Cha. However, Sister Jin quickly grabbed Xia Furong’s wrist, “Xia Cha is my artiste. Go ahead and try to touch her! If you don’t want to go to jail, you’d better leave quickly. If you come to the company and cause trouble again, you will suffer the consequences!”


  Sister Jin called for security and dragged Xia Furong out of the office.

  …


  That night.

  Xia Cha received a call from Huo Heng.

  After dressing up, she walked out of the apartment.

  Huo Heng leaned against the street lamp. Xia Cha ran over and ran into his arms.

  Huo Heng took her to have supper. Xia Cha told him about Xia Furong. “Do you think I’m a little harsh on her?”
