"Knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door, Lu Xuan paused, and waited for the person outside the door to speak, but then there was another knock on the door.

"What's the matter, I heard a knock on the door over there." Lu Xuan was about to ask Jin Zhe, when the man on the other side of the phone opened his mouth.

Not him?

Lu Xuan responded: "Someone knocked on the door, but he didn't speak, I don't know who it was, I hung up first, and I will look for you later." ”

"Don't, the phone is on, don't be impulsive, wait."

Lu Xuan didn't speak, picked up the fruit knife from the coffee table and walked over step by step, she didn't lock the door, the people outside just pushed the door if they wanted to come in.

With a click, the door was locked, Lu Xuan's hanging heart only fell halfway, and the people outside seemed to hear it, the knock on the door became urgent, and after a while, a low female voice came: "Lu Xuan, it's me." ”

She?

Who is she?

"Name." Lu Xuan held the fruit knife and remained vigilant.

Zhao ...... Zhao Manshi. ”

Hearing these three words, Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and at this time, the person outside the door spoke again: "I have something to tell you...... Could you please open the door? ”

The voice was thick nasal, especially the last two words, cautiously, as if pleading.

Lu Xuan had a vague guess in his heart, paused, and still opened the door.

The people outside the door were wearing hats and hoodies, and masks covered most of their faces, barely making it impossible to see who it was.

Seeing the fruit knife in Lu Xuan's hand, Zhao Manshi's body trembled: "I...... I don't mean anything, I just want to tell you something. ”

As she spoke, she quickly took off her mask and hat, her eyes were red, and there were faint marks on her face, as if she had been beaten.

Seeing that she was very afraid of the fruit knife in her hand, Lu Xuan still put it away, closed the door, and walked straight to the sofa: "What's the matter?" ”

If she had been a little more pleasant before receiving the email, she would have been a little kinder, but now, there was no need at all.

Zhao Manshi didn't say a word, she raised her feet and walked over, her eyes accidentally saw the computer screen, and when she saw the content inside, she was stiff and stunned in place, like falling into an ice cellar.

Lu Xuan knew.

She thought about it for a long time in the room before she decided to take a go and ask Lu Xuan to apologize and ask for forgiveness, but a hint of luck in her heart was that the latter had not yet investigated clearly.

But I never thought she would be late.

Watching Lu Xuan wipe the fruit knife with a tissue, Zhao Manshi pursed the corners of her lips and said stubbornly: "I'm here to apologize to you." ”

"Apologize?" Lu Xuan glanced at her, and said in a light tone, "What did you do, you have to apologize to me in person." ”

“…… Me, I...... I'm sorry! Zhao Manshi said a few times, and finally raised his voice and bowed loudly.

Her eyes were glued to the floor, and these three words seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and it seemed to have broken through the barriers in her heart.

Lu Xuan moved, she didn't expect Zhao Manshi to be so simple, and she didn't want to continue to pretend to be stupid, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but be a little hostile: "The things of the past few days can't be solved with a word of sorry." ”

Throw it aside

Not to mention the seriousness of the situation, she will not easily forgive just by involving those innocent people.

"I'm sorry, I knew it was wrong." Zhao Manshi's voice trembled a little, she raised her head, her eyes were already attached to a layer of mist, "I bought the media and let them release the scandal between you and Qi Lingzhou, but I never thought that things would develop like this, and I didn't know that they would involve other people, I'm sorry......"

"Didn't think you'd get anyone else involved?" Lu Xuan subconsciously raised his voice, and his fox eyes were a little sharp, "If we don't collectively hold us accountable, are you still complacent about your victory?" ”

"No, no......" Zhao Manshi hurriedly shook her head, as if she was the weaker party.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and looked directly at Lu Xuan: "I know you're angry, and I know it's wrong, but I was ...... I didn't control myself, I'm sorry, Lu Xuan, I'm really sorry, I apologize to you, please don't continue to hold you accountable, okay, I'll die in such an afternoon. ”

People who were so proud and beautiful before are now here begging to be let go.

Lu Xuan's cruel words suddenly couldn't be spoken.

People are really strange, if Zhao Manshi dies and does not repent, she will definitely accompany her to the end, but the situation is developing in the other direction, and she suddenly can't do it.

opened his mouth, but his words were not as hard as they had just been: "Why should I believe what you say?" ”

"I brought evidence." Seeing that she seemed to be relieved, Zhao Manshi hurriedly took something out of her bag.

A file bag, a USB drive, and a few crumpled notes.

Zhao Manshi took the lead in handing over the USB drive: "Here are photos of you and Qi Lingzhou, I asked my assistant to follow and be afraid, I can swear to God, I only have these pictures, and the photos of you and Jin Zhe in the hospital were not sent by me." ”

Lu Xuan didn't speak, took the USB drive and plugged it into the computer, of course she knew that the photos of the hospital were not taken by Zhao Manshi, but since she came to the door, she couldn't let her go easily.

Sure enough, there are only photos of her and Qi Lingzhou in the USB drive, all of which were sent out on Weibo, no more, no less.

Looking at these photos, Lu Xuan burst into flames: "Why are you doing this? Is it to make me lose my nomination for the Newcomer Award? ”

The heart was exposed, and Zhao Manshi looked empty: "I'm sorry ......"

"Is it useful to say sorry now, Zhao Manshi, I believe you know very well what has happened in the past few days, not only me and Qi Lingzhou, but also Ji Siting, Jin Zhe, Yang Xiaoli, you tell me sorry now, and want to be forgiven, what about them, do you think they will forgive you?"

Zhao Manshi was startled by what she said, she stepped forward and grabbed Lu Xuan's arm tightly: "I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong, I shouldn't make your rumors for the newcomer award, Lu Xuan, I beg you, I apologize to you, please don't investigate any more, okay?" ”

"It's not a sorry thing, something that can be solved knowing it's wrong." Lu Xuan pulled out his arm and opened the file bag.

Inside is a stack of non-disclosure agreements, the content is concise and clear, all of them

The secrecy of the scandal between her and Qi Lingzhou.

In addition, there is indeed no relevant information about Ji Siting and others.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but think of the email sent by Jin Zhe, after the situation got out of control, Zhao Manshi even asked people to withdraw all kinds of rumors about Ji Siting and Yang Xiaoli.

"Lu Xuan......" Zhao Manshi said cautiously, "What do you need me to do, so that you don't continue to investigate, as long as you open your mouth, I will definitely not refuse, I just ask you not to expose me, I still want to continue acting, I can't leave this business, please......"

Hearing this, Lu Xuan's expression paused, and she looked condescendingly at the woman with red and swollen eyes: "Zhao Manshi, is it true that in your heart, no matter what it is for, you can't do without trading?" ”

Zhao Manshi was stunned by what she said, and she didn't know what to take for a while.

Seeing her reaction, I don't know why, Lu Xuan's heart suddenly swelled with an indescribable emotion, she took a few steps back, and her expression was faint: "What if I have to do this?" ”

"No!" Zhao Manshi was still stuck in her own thoughts, and when she suddenly heard this, she raised her head suddenly, grabbed Lu Xuan's arm again, and pleaded with her eyes, "You weren't like this just now, Lu Xuan, I beg you, please don't do this, I will promise you whatever you say, as long as you don't investigate, I can promise you anything......"

Turning over and over these few words, it made people a little worried, Rao Luxuan had opinions about her, and she couldn't say anything serious at this time.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhao Manshi panicked even more, she stuffed those messy notes into Lu Xuan's hand: "This is the contact information of those studios, if you don't believe it, you can call and ask in person, I have asked them to remove the copywriter from you and Qi Lingzhou, I can't lose this job, Lu Xuan, I really can't lose this job......

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, the whole person couldn't help but tremble, her face turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, Lu Xuan chuckled in her heart, and finally helped her to sit down in front of the sofa: "Low blood sugar? ”

Zhao Manshi answered in a low voice, if she didn't listen carefully, she really couldn't hear it.

After a while, a lollipop appeared in his sight, Zhao Manshi was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Xuan with an expressionless face: "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want you to faint in my room, if you let someone write an article again, I can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River." ”

Zhao Manshi opened her mouth to say something, but finally took it.

The flat lollipop was stuffed into his mouth, and the tongue coating was suddenly sweet, but the bitterness in his heart spread.

She subconsciously clenched the candy wrapper, and suddenly began to regret that she was so ignorant. It is true that Lu Xuan has been nominated, but she has also entered the nomination, and she is also in the state of nomination, why did she spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain and use such despicable means to get Lu Xuan down?

This is a problem that she has always been unwilling to face, because in the final analysis, the reason is not Lu Xuan, but herself.

is that she is not confident enough, she suddenly lost confidence in the face of Lu Xuan's dark horse, so she will do those dirty methods, but she never thought that when she moved that thought, she had actually lost, and she had lost in a mess.

"I should have listened to Sister Tao." Zhao Manshi suddenly spoke, Lu Xuan was stunned, and listened to her continue, "When I knew that you were also nominated for the Newcomer Award, Sister Tao asked me to settle down, if I can win this award, my acting career will have new changes." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xuan saw an unprecedented brilliance in her eyes, which was a vision for a better future.

"You don't know, I've been in this circle for seven years, seven years, how many seven years do girls have?" Zhao Manshi smiled bitterly, "I debuted at the age of nineteen, and I am twenty-six this year, but my career has not improved, do you know what others say about me?" ”

Lu Xuan didn't speak, obviously it should be the relationship between questioning and being questioned, but Zhao Manshi suddenly complained.

What's even more outrageous is that she actually has the patience to listen.

"They said I was unproductive, I knew all day I was daydreaming, I hadn't been home for two years, I didn't dare to go back, I was afraid to see them, I was afraid to see the disappointment in my parents' eyes......"

Zhao Manshi covered her face, but tears flowed out of her fingers, and Lu Xuan looked at her quietly.
