âSorry, I donât know you, so Iâm afraid I canât answer your questions.â Ye Shengge forced a smile. âCan you let us leave?â
The man placed his hand on the car window and smiled at her.
Ye Shengge then realized that the man had light brown eyes, making him look gentler and more harmless when he smiled.
His appearance was so deceiving that Ye Shengge couldnât help being on guard.
âYouâre lying.â The man chuckled. âYour expression tells me that you donât just know me but you also have some understanding of me. Besides, your pupils are dilated and your heart is beating fast... Youâre afraid of me. Why?â
He couldnât have sounded gentler.
Ye Shengge broke out in cold sweat.
âYouâre mistaken, sir.â Her smile stiffened. âI donât know what your motive is, so itâs natural for me to be afraid.â
âNo.â The man looked at her, and the smile in his eyes deepened. âOn the contrary. Youâre afraid because you know what I want.â
Ye Shengge opened her mouth, took a deep breath, and said, âOkay, I admit that Iâve seen you before, Young Master Xiao. Iâm one of the lead actors of âXue Ningâ, and I was there when you picked Mu Xiaoya up. I schemed against Mu Xiaoya today, and I reckon youâre going to get payback for her, which is why Iâm afraid.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Naturally, Xiao Ruilang knew everything that had happened on the set, and he also knew that Ye Shengge had framed Mu Xiaoya. This had been the reason he had personally come over to stop her.
âI canât thank you enough for exposing her lies so why would I bother you?â He smiled once more and his voice became gentler. âSince Mu Xiaoya isnât Summer Wood, whereâs the real Summer Wood, huh? Thatâs the real reason Iâm here today.â
âI donât know,â Ye Shengge answered calmly. âI only know that Mu Xiaoya isnât Summer Wood, but I donât know who the real Summer Wood is.â
âYou only know that Mu Xiaoya isnât Summer Wood,â Xiao Ruilang repeated with a chuckle.
âThatâs right. I used to be Mu Xiaoyaâs agent. I know very well whether sheâs Summer Wood or not,â Ye Shengge explained. âHowever, I donât know where the real Summer Wood is.â
The man stared at her for a few seconds, then he knocked on the window and smiled, âThen, be an obedient girl and hand it over.â
âWhat?â Ye Shengge was dazed.
âThe videos.â Xiao Ruilang said matter-of-factly. âSince you wonât tell me who the real Summer Wood is, I can only continue to treat Mu Xiaoya as Summer Wood and I canât let you post this video.â
Ye Shengge was rendered speechless.
...This man was indeed unpredictable.
She couldnât figure out how much this man knew, so she forced a smile and said, âYoung Master Xiao, Mu Xiaoya is an impostor. Are you actually willing to let an impostor stay by your side?â
âNo.â He blinked at her. âBut I have no better alternative. After all, I canât find the real Summer Wood.â
Ye Shengge was dumbfounded. The hard disk in her hand felt like it was burning.
She had finally found a chance to expose Mu Xiaoyaâs true colors. Was she going to let her get away with it again?
However, she couldnât tell that man that she was Summer Wood. If not, she might not be able to return to Qianfan Villa.
