When he returned to the banquet hall, Xu Wan heard a lot of low-pitched discussions.
"I thought I saw Xu Wan just now, why is she here too?"
"Didn't she act in several director Yang's plays? It's probably because of this."
"Oh my gosh, she really dares to come here. If I were her, I would have quit the industry long ago and would have no face to see anyone. How can she continue to stay in the entertainment industry?"
"Yes, those photos at that time, although they were not exposed, were still widely circulated. The scandal between her and Qin Yuhui was really known to everyone. I don't know what she was thinking."
"And let me tell you, it is said that she had a boyfriend at that time, and her boyfriend eventually broke up with her because of this incident."
"Did she have a boyfriend at that time?
This is the first time I’ve heard about this. Who is her boyfriend? Is he in the industry?"
"It doesn't seem to be the case. I don't know the details. I just heard what others said."
"That's right. Which man can accept this? It's okay if we break up, otherwise I'll be reminded of those photos when I look at her all day long. It would be very uncomfortable."
At this time, someone saw Xu Wan standing not far away. They all exchanged glances, the conversation gradually became quieter, and they went to other places.
Xu Wan picked up the champagne on the side and drank it.
At this time, Yang Shan came over and patted Xu Wan on the shoulder: "You are here, I have been looking for you for a long time, want to talk?"
Xu Wan nodded lightly: "Okay."
Yang Shan took her to the balcony outside the banquet hall. It was very high and overlooked the scenery of Nancheng.
Yang Shan leaned on the railing: "Yan Xiang came to me and asked me to advise you. In fact, I heard some rumors about what happened three years ago. I had always wanted to find an opportunity to chat with you, but I haven't seen it in the past few years.
your turn."
He continued: "Xu Wan, that incident was not your fault. You were a victim. It was Qin Yuhui who was at fault. Do you understand? Don't torture yourself because of his fault anymore."
Xu Wan's throat felt a little lumpy: "Director Yang, I understand everything you said, and I have told myself countless times that I should be more open-minded.
But during the time when it happened, no matter where I went, I could hear them discussing the matter. I locked myself in my room, and I seemed to be able to hear them pointing fingers at me."
Hearing this, Yang Shan sighed silently.
I don’t know since when, people have always been accustomed to blaming the victim, which has evolved into the theory of victim guilt.
Xu Wan looked at the distant sky and murmured: "I once yearned for the moon and longed to become the moon.
But now, I feel that the light of the moon is very dazzling, as if it can illuminate me without any trace."
Yang Shan was silent for a while before saying: "I don't know how to persuade you to let go of all this, but the movie I am currently preparing has a female character in it, and I think it is very suitable for you.
Xu Wan, since you can't let go, you might as well try to face it bravely, maybe it will have a different effect."
Xu Wan was slightly stunned.
Yang Shan patted her shoulder again: "Tomorrow I will have someone send you the script. After you read it, if you plan to act, please contact me. If you don't want to act, it doesn't matter."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xu Wan stood there alone, slowly squatted down, hugged his knees, and cried silently.
Ruan Chen stood outside the balcony, looking at her quietly, his thin lips pursed slightly.
…
By the time Xu Wan returned to the banquet hall, she had already adjusted her mood.
Yan Xiang found her: "Where are you going?"
Xu Wan said: "I chatted with Director Yang for a while."
Yan Xiang hesitated: "Then you..."
Xu Wan smiled: "It's okay."
Yan Xiang probably heard some discussions about Xu Wan just now. He was afraid that she would hear it, so he said: "Hey, it's getting late. Let's say hello to Director Yang and go back."
"good."
After saying goodbye to Yang Shan, Xu Wan and Yan Xiang went directly downstairs.
As soon as they left the hotel, Su Mingjing caught up with him: "Wanwan, can I talk to you alone?"
Hearing this, Yan Xiang pointed to the side: "Then I'll wait for you over there."
Xu Wan looked at him: "Mr. Su, I think I should have made it clear last time."
Su Mingshan nodded: "Yes, but I have thought carefully about it for a long time in the past few days. I feel unwilling to give up just like this. I want to continue chasing you. I believe that one day, you will see me."
Xu Wan burst into laughter for a moment: "Mr. Su, I..."
"I also learned a little bit about you today."
Su Mingjing said, "I don't think it's your fault, and you don't have to push me away because of it. You have the right to be happy again."
Hearing this, Xu Wan's smile gradually dropped.
Su Mingjing took a step forward: "Wanwan, I really don't mind. I have known you for so long, and I know that you are not the kind of person they say you are. I am willing to wait until you let go of everything in the past and accept me."
Facing his approach, Xu Wan took two steps back.
She took a deep breath and forced a smile: "It has nothing to do with this..."
"What does that have to do with?"
Su Mingjing's relentless pursuit made her feel dizzy and almost out of breath.
At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Mr. Su's way of chasing someone is to stalk him."
Su Mingjing paused, turned his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin is also coming down."
After Ruan Chen glanced at him, his eyes fell on Xu Wan.
Su Mingjing continued: "I just saw Miss Jin looking for Mr. Lin everywhere. She..."
"This is my private matter and should have nothing to do with Mr. Su."
The smile on Su Mingjing's face froze: "Yes, I'm talking too much."
At this time, the media waiting in the distance saw them and shouted: "It looks like Xu Wan over there, go and have a look."
Xu Wan has not appeared in media cameras for three years, and her photo tonight has become a hot topic again.
Su Mingjing subconsciously wanted to go to Rashu Wan and leave here, but when he reached out his hand, he realized that Xu Wan had been taken away.
He frowned and watched the group of reporters chasing after him.
Yan Xiang ran over quickly: "What happened? Who was the person who took Xu Wan away?"
"Mr. Lin from plex."
"c..." Yan Xiang reacted, "Oh! That's the very handsome Mr. Lin, right?
Does he know Xu Wan?"
Su Mingjing looked away: "I think we know each other."
The name plex seemed familiar. She rang it for a long time and suddenly realized: "Is orgplex the one that has a cooperative relationship with Zhou?"
"yes."
"I remember that Xu Wan had a very good relationship with Mr. Zhou's wife. Mr. Zhou's wife had a younger brother who seemed to be about the same age as Mr. Lin. The chairman of plex is his wife's father."
Thinking about it, Yan Xiang felt something was wrong, "The person in charge of orgplex is named Lin, but Mr. Zhou's wife's surname is Ruan."
Su Mingjing squinted his eyes, thoughtfully: "Really?"
