Chapter 272 In fact, Bai Zhi already had someone she loved.
Seeing that Jiang Bai did not answer, He Shengming spoke even louder.
"I didn't confess to you impulsively, Teacher Bai Zhi. I know everything about you."
"That also includes your brother who's involved in organized crime."
"You don't need to worry about your brother rejecting me because of him."
"Although I, He, do not come from a wealthy family, I still hold some sway within this circle."
"I fear no hardship or danger. If you agree, I'll shield you from mountains of knives and seas of fire! Even if it's your brother, I'll protect you for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Bai: "???"
What the heck? A gangster? Dangers and obstacles?
I used to fold blankets and march in formation at school; I was a model student!
When did you become involved in organized crime?
Jiang Bai was stunned.
The entire venue fell completely silent.
He turned his head blankly and saw Yu Zheng squatting behind the monitor not far away, touching his nose and looking up at the sky, looking extremely embarrassed and with his eyes darting around wildly.
Case solved.
Jiang Bai instantly realized that this was definitely an identity that Yu Laoliu had made up to protect himself from He Shengming.
Originally, Jiang Bai intended to firmly refuse and make the other party face reality.
But when Jiang Bai saw Yu Zheng's "better you than me" expression, he was instantly furious.
"You bastard, Yu Laoliu, using my real name as a shield?"
"Fine, if I'm not having a good time, you won't be either!"
Jiang Bai's eyes turned cold, then quickly transformed into a melancholy feeling of "nothing is more sorrowful than a broken heart".
He sighed softly, his slender fingers trembling slightly.
With his overwhelming charm, he was practically the embodiment of a melancholic goddess at that moment.
"Teacher He..."
Jiang Bai lowered his voice and quietly leaned close to He Shengming's ear.
With their wide sleeves concealing their presence, to outsiders, it appeared as if the two were making a final, heartfelt farewell.
"Actually, there's something Bai Zhi has never dared to tell you."
He Shengming held his breath, his eyes burning with fervor:
"Tell me! As long as it's not a rejection, I'm open to anything!"
"Actually... Bai Zhi already has someone she loves."
"No matter how fierce my brother is, I can't help but love him..."
He Shengming was struck dumb, frozen in place, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Who is your sweetheart? Is it the currently popular young heartthrob Zhao XX, or the richest man Wang XX?"
Jiang Bai glanced at Yu Zheng, who was secretly peeking in their direction, out of the corner of his eye, and a barely perceptible wicked smile appeared on his lips:
"Neither."
"Bai Zhi likes... Director Yu Zheng, who has always been silently supporting me behind the scenes."
"Bai Zhi has been able to get through these days entirely thanks to his support and care."
"Teacher He, also, please keep this a secret for me, otherwise my brother will really come to the film crew to clean house."
"At the same time, thank you, Teacher He."
"You're a good person, it's just a pity we met too late."
"If only you could have appeared before Director Yu Zheng."
"That way, I won't fall for Director Yu..."
What?
His goddess likes Yu Zheng, that thing?
He Shengming was dumbfounded.
He stiffly turned his head to look at Yu Zheng, who was grinning like a cunning old fox.
When Yu Zheng saw He Shengming looking over, he thought the other party was showing off his courage to confess, so out of encouragement as an "elder".
He grinned, showing his big teeth, and gave He Shengming an extremely bright and lewd smile.
"Thump—"
He Shengming heard it; it was the sound of his heart shattering completely.
"How could this happen...?"
"No, no!"
"I must be dreaming, how could this be?!"
He Shengming muttered to himself, his fists clenched, veins bulging.
At this moment, Jiang Bai saw this and knew that the plan had succeeded.
He took a deep breath and forcibly activated the [Blush] skill.
A blush of extreme shyness instantly appeared on her originally fair and porcelain-like face.
He turned around and waved to the crowd.
"Take care, everyone."
Then, his gaze fell on Yu Zheng, his eyes filled with reluctance and shyness:
"Director Yu, Bai Zhi... is waiting for you in Shanghai."
Especially in the last sentence, Jiang Bai deliberately used the tenderness buff from the [Heavenly Voice], making his voice light and gentle, like a feather brushing against the tip of the heart.
After saying that, Jiang Bai didn't give anyone time to react and slipped out of the studio at an almost takeoff speed.
.......
The door to Studio 8 at Kyoto Film City slowly closed behind Jiang Bai.
That beautiful figure cast a long, poignant yet resolute shadow in the sunlight.
He Shengming, who remained in the studio, felt at this moment that his entire life had come to an end along with Jiang Baizhi's in this golden October.
He gripped the sword prop in his hand tightly, his knuckles turning pale from lack of blood flow due to excessive force.
In my mind, like a movie replay, that scene kept flashing wildly:
That aloof, ethereal, and untouchable girl actually whispered in his ear that she liked... Yu Zheng?
The final glance back as he left, the captivating blush like the sunset, and the tender farewell voice that seemed to drip with tenderness.
"I see... I see!"
He Shengming gritted his teeth, his originally sorrowful eyes instantly turning extremely ferocious.
He began frantically reviewing all of Yu Zheng's unusual behavior over the past few days:
No wonder!
No wonder Yu Zheng smiled so strangely when he said he liked Jiang Baizhi.
In retrospect, that was clearly mocking a fool!
No wonder!
No wonder Yu Zheng stammered when talking about Jiang Baizhi having a "gangster brother".
In retrospect, that was clearly a fabricated threatening letter, intended to discourage him!
No wonder!
Jiang Baizhi had a private dressing room on set, which made Yu Zheng squat at the door every day, smiling like an old chrysanthemum.
Now it seems that it wasn't "helping out" or the "power" of the underworld brother, but rather "keeping a mistress in a golden cage"!
"Yu Laoliu...you beast!"
He Shengming squeezed out these words through clenched teeth, his facial muscles twitching violently with anger.
He looked at Yu Zheng, who was not far away, holding a thermos, humming a little tune, and grinning foolishly at Jiang Bai's back.
In Yu Zheng's eyes, it was the satisfaction of seeing Jiang Bai, this "lucky cat," finally complete his mission successfully.
But in He Shengming's eyes, that smile—
Despicable!
cruel!
It was filled with extreme contempt for him, this "defeated general"!
Especially when he thought of Bai Zhi whispering in his ear, "I like Director Yu," and the beautiful blush she gave him before she left, like the sunset.
A cracking sound came from He Shengming's clenched fist.
"Aaaaaaah!"
"Not only did he steal my goddess, he even flaunted his relationship in front of me!"
