One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire’s Sweet Love

The manager was shocked to hear that.

She continued. “I don’t like fights, especially ones involving schemes and manipulation. I can’t handle them, so I’ve decided to strive to win the Best Actress award before leaving the industry.”

“…”

The news came so abruptly that he had a hard time processing it.

“You’re quitting showbiz?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure about this?” He found it a pity. “Shishi, you have a bright future ahead of you. As long as I continue to manage you, you’ll definitely shine brightly in the time to come!”

“You know how I’m like. I don’t really care about fame and achievements. Perhaps I just don’t have the ambitions?” The woman laughed at her expense. “I prefer to safeguard my little family. I was forced by circumstances to enter the entertainment industry back then, but now, compared to the audience, my family needs me more.”

“Will you not regret your decision?”

She gave him a firm answer. “Never!”

“Hm…” He frowned helplessly. “Give me a little time to digest this information, alright?”

“Sure.”

“You may go back first.” He told her.

Thus, she picked up her bag and left the company.

As she was currently at the eye of the storm, her manager instructed her to leave from the company’s back door. He even arranged bodyguards to tail her around so he could ensure her safety.

The company also arranged an inconspicuous vehicle to take her around. The moment she got in it, she closed the curtains to keep herself hidden from view, lest photos of her get secretly taken.

News regarding Zhuo Ke’s Weibo post continued to ferment over the past few days, with the netizens getting increasingly restless and eager to hear the latest gossip. Speculations about the actress were rife at the moment, and more and more netizens were leaving comments on her page. Some wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, while others stated their guesses. The rest, however, criticized her fiercely…

She chose not to log into her account because of this, for seeing those comments only made her feel frustrated.

When Thursday came around, Zhuo Ke struck yet again. This time, he uploaded a series of photos in a nine-grid format. When put together, they showed a frail and sickly Ji Yan, a newbie actress who resembled Yan Bingqing, lying on a sickbed with a respirator on her.

[Depression makes one frail and haggard. Troubled by love, but has no regrets.]

He then posted a short poem, seemingly hinting the rookie actress had gotten ill because of love troubles, but other than that, he did not disclose more.

An hour after that, a netizen, who claimed to be working at a certain hospital, commented on Weibo. [The picture Zhuo Ke uploaded yesterday is real. One week ago, Ji Yan was rushed to the hospital after being found to have attempted to commit suicide by slitting her wrist. I heard that it’s her close friend who discovered her. After losing contact for several days, the concerned friend went to her apartment to find the actress, but no one answered the door even after a long time. She then broke the door to enter the house, only to be greeted with the horrifying sight of Ji Yan lying in a bathtub filled with bloodied water! Word has it that the actress committed such a foolish act because she’s been hurt by love after her steady boyfriend cheated on her.]

Hurt by love and got cheated on?

The netizens’ imagination ran wild at that.

Was there not the word ‘face’ in Zhuo Ke’s doggerel? ‘Leaving behind a crushed face’; could it be referring to the newbie actress?
