Chapter 494 - Using Her Happiness To Disguise Her Fragility
Xia Jingfei watched Qin Yu leave the restaurant without looking back. Suddenly, she broke down and shouted, "Qin Yu. Qin Yu!"
Xia Jingfei slowly lowered her head and looked at the few hundred-dollar bills on the table. Her heart felt as if it had been crushed by a giant boulder.
Actually, she did not want to do this. She had been friends with Qin Yu for more than ten years, so how could she not know that Qin Yu was a person who kept her word.
Qin Yu had never been one to beat around the bush or go back against her own words.
Xia Jingfei knew that the words she had said today hurt her deeply. But between Liang Jiahao and Qin Yu, she chose Liang Jiahao.
For the sake of her love, she had to win.
Qin Yu did not cry until she entered the elevator.
She cried not because Liang Jiahao was Xia Jingfei's boyfriend, but because Xia Jingfei didn't believe her. She actually hurt her just because of a man.
In Qin Yu's heart, love was important, but friendship was equally important too.
Even if she had already fallen in love with Liang Jiahao, she would definitely let him go as long as she knew he was her best friend's boyfriend.
But Xia Jingfei didn't believe her. In fact, she was forcing her.
Qin Yu was really upset. What was important to her was something that could be casually abandoned in the eyes of others.
And she was the one who had been abandoned.
Qin Yu only gave herself a minute to feel sad. When she got off the elevator and went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water, she had returned to her previous carefree and happy self.
After Qin Yu left, Liang Zixuan didn't go downstairs to look for Zeng Zhelan. She wanted to wait here for Han Yuanjun and ask him how the discussion was going.
In only half an hour, Qin Yu had returned.
Liang Zixuan asked in surprise. "You eat so quickly?"
Qin Yu threw her bag on the sofa and walked over to hug Liang Zixuan's arm. With a smile, she said, "I didn't take too much time because I wanted to come back and accompany my aunt. So after I'm done eating, I'll leave quickly."
"Is that so?" Liang Zixuan raised an eyebrow at her. She suddenly noticed that her eyes were red.
Liang Zixuan held Qin Yu's face and eyed her seriously before asking in surprise. "Qin Yu, are you crying?"
"No!" Qin Yu jokingly pushed her hand away, "Why would a stone-hearted person like me cry? Auntie, you saw it wrongly."
How could Liang Zixuan have been seen wrongly? She could clearly see that Qin Yu's eyes were red.
Although Qin Yu had great acting skills, her body language was not something that acting skills could control.
Liang Zixuan grabbed Qin Yu's hand and looked at her with a deep gaze.
Qin Yu couldn't escape Liang Zixuan's interrogating gaze, and slowly, the happiness facade on her face had suddenly collapsed. Her eyes reddened again, and she actually threw herself into Liang Zixuan's embrace, hugging her tightly.
This was the first time Liang Zixuan had seen her so fragile. In her heart, Qin Yu was always a happy and carefree person. She was strong and had her own will, and she protected herself very well.
But this time, Qin Yu was actually using her happiness to disguise her fragility. She must be really hurt.
Liang Zixuan didn't say anything. She just let Qin Yu hug her while gently stroking her hair.
Not long later, the office door was pushed open from the outside and Han Yuanjun walked in.
Seeing Qin Yu hugging Liang Zixuan like this and looking very sad, Han Yuanjun's face immediately turned sullen. "What's wrong?"
Liang Zixuan shushed him with her hand. Han Yuanjun nodded and sat down on the sofa beside her.
Qin Yu quickly wiped the tears from her face and moved away from Liang Zixuan's embrace. She looked at Han Yuanjun with a strong smile and asked, "Uncle, how was your talk? How are you going to vent my anger?"
Han Yuanjun looked at her deeply, then unhurriedly said, "You are an artist under the Han Group. As long as someone does something against you, our Han Group will not let them get away with it."
Liang Zixuan nodded. "That's right, not only Qin Yu, but all Han Group's artists cannot be bullied by outsiders. We have to get rid of this bad atmosphere."
Han Yuanjun smiled warmly at her. "Just now, I contacted Dong Yong and asked him to seek out the CCTV recording from the private room as well as the one in the lobby. We have enough evidence to sue Mao Ping for drugging Qin Yu and her assistant, Hou Fen."
As he said this, Han Yuanjun suddenly paused, and his expression became serious. "And I found two female artists who were deceived by Mao Ping in the same way before. They weren't as lucky as Qin Yu. They didn't report these incidents to the police because they were afraid that their reputations would be ruined by the scandals. They were even more afraid that Mao Ping would take revenge on them afterward, so they endured it all the time."
"I will track them down and ask them to be witnesses and accuse Mao Ping of his crimes. Together with Qin Yu, we will eliminate this bad atmosphere from the entertainment circle."
Han Yuanjun took a deep breath. "I will never let something like this happen on my turf again. Female artists come out to work, they are not courtesans, they are not something that can be used by those rich men to do whatever they please! If I, Han Yuanjun, do not put a stop to this culture, then the entertainment circle will be despised by the masses, and female artists will also become a profession looked down upon by the masses. There is no way I will allow that to happen!"
When Liang Zixuan and Qin Yu heard this, they actually applauded Han Yuanjun enthusiastically.
Qin Yu did not know if it was because of Han Yuanjun's words or because of the sadness she was feeling right now, but she was crying. "Uncle, thank you, thank you so much! As long as you are here, I will not be afraid of anything in the future!"
Liang Zixuan gave Han Yuanjun a big thumbs up. "This is the man I, Liang Zixuan, love! He respects every woman in the workplace! I am so proud to have such a husband!"
