At three o'clock in the morning in City A, Tong Lu had seen it.

But now, standing in front of the glass window, looking at the lights and traffic downstairs, Tong Lu suddenly felt that this city was strange and terrible.

Once, she felt love and hated in this city, but no matter how many injuries she suffered, there was still the warmth of her childhood memories here, like a mother's caress and a lover's whisper, which could easily heal all her pain.

And at some point, the city has changed, it has become a place that can swallow people up at any time, and if you don't try to climb up, you will fall into the endless abyss, and bear the pain of this land forever.

Tong Lu raised her hand, and her fingertips gently touched the light on the glass, cold, but with a burning pain.

"You don't need to worry too much, the company will take care of it." Xiao Hong stood behind Tong Lu, and her voice was so soft that even she didn't dare to believe it.

Tong Lu's cold eyes flashed, and her somewhat indifferent gaze was fixed in the distance through the glass, and her face hidden in the darkness could not see her emotions clearly.

I don't know how long it took for Tong Lu to slowly speak, "This kind of scandal that is almost a real hammer, all companies should deal with it the same." ”

admit it first, then terminate the contract, and then let the parties be overwhelmed by public opinion, whether it is life or death, and then have nothing to do with the company.

It sounds cruel, but it's something we're used to.

It's just that Tong Lu never thought that she would have to go through it one day.

"But ......" Xiao Hong opened her mouth, she wanted to say that the dream world is different.

But...... What's the difference, Dreamworld is also a brokerage company, and the same interests come first, what qualifications do they have to ask the company to give up their low-hanging profits and choose to protect them.

Xiao Hong pursed her lips, turned around and sniffled, her eyes widened but she didn't stop the warmth from her eyes.

Raising his hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of his eyes, Xiao Hong suddenly smiled, "But this matter is not true." ”

"So what?" Tong Lu also laughed, but the laughter was bitter and dry, as if she could still smell a little blood.

"No one cares what the truth is." Tong Lu's forehead was against the cold wall, and her tone was like the heart in her chest that had already been numb, lifeless.

People will only see what they want to see......

And now, what they want to see is to let Tong Lu disappear from this world forever......

"Otherwise, let's let Director Zhang help you clarify your subordinates first," Xiao Hong raised his head abruptly and looked at Tong Lu, "At least let the public know that your resources are all earned by yourself, not because of Gu Chuan!" ”

The slander on the Internet appeared in Xiao Hong's mind, and she wanted to explain like crazy, but no one wanted to listen.

Tong Lu shook his head slightly, raised his hand and patted Xiao Hong's shoulder, "It's useless, they don't care how my resources come from, they just believe that I am being fostered." ”

"And this thing ......"

Tong Lu paused, her voice seemed to come from ancient times, distant and ethereal, "We have no way to refute it, that photo is true." ”

Thinking of yesterday's kiss, Tong Lu's face had a little more smile.

Despite the chaos now, she still has no regrets.

Even if she knew all the results, she would still send him out, still pretending that she didn't know anything, letting him pull her arm and gently imprint the kiss on her lips.

With a faint warmth, and Gu Chuan's unique aura.

Sweet, she panicked, and her heart beat violently.

The most controversial photo was taken at that time, two people standing at the door of the room, and the warm and dim light hit them, glowing slightly.

If it weren't for the embarrassing news headline, Tong Lu really wanted to save that photo.

Because it's really beautiful.

At one point, she even cried, which was her happiest moment in three years.

"Then let the company clarify and send a lawyer's letter!" Xiao Hongde's voice was a little ruthless, "I don't believe it, these marketing accounts have such courage!" ”

"And then?" Tong Lu raised her eyebrows, her long curly eyelashes casting a shadow on her eyelids, and her deep eyes were hidden in them, with a somewhat unclear light.

Xiao Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his slightly curled fist slammed on the glass, making a somewhat dull sound.

"Let them delete the news and then apologize!"

This method is feasible, even if it ends up in a lawsuit, it is Tong Lu's side that has a good chance of winning.

But......

"What if all the news is deleted?"

At this moment, Tong Lu's heart seemed to be drifting in the depths of the ocean, sinking into the water little by little, with a suffocating sense of oppression and endless coldness within reach.

"In the eyes of the public, this is like three hundred taels of silver here, it is all a clumsy cover-up, and it is all recognized in disguise."

"In this way, from now on, there is no way for me to do anything, and there is only one label left on me, that is, the little star that Gu Chuan has raised."

Xiao Hong didn't understand this truth.

But just sitting here and waiting for things to ferment is the real self-defeating.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Hong still picked up the phone, "No matter what, let's stabilize the hearts of fans first." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Hong dialed the phone.

Tong Lu didn't know who the call was for, but she just stood silently and listened, the cold and loneliness of the night were stained with a bit of blue glass, easily penetrating the clothes and flesh on her body, and it was cold to the bone marrow.

She listened to Xiao Hong's fierce words from the beginning to the silence at the end.

Xiao Hong dodged Tong Lu's eyes and turned his back.

Although she had expected such a result, her heart still couldn't stop hurting when she saw it all happen.

It was as if scars had been cut by a sharp blade, and the vivid red slid down the texture of the flesh drop by drop, until the whole heart became bloody.

"Did you call the company?" Tong Lu turned slightly, leaning her back against the glass.

The flickering light outside the window hit her, obscure.

Xiao Hong nodded, the hand holding the mobile phone hung weakly by her side, just like they were in the fierce turbulence, losing the last piece of driftwood, and could only let the salty water continue to sweep in, filling their mouths and noses, taking away the only air they had left, and the only thing left was suffocation.

"What does the company say?" Tong Lu asked with a chuckle.

I already knew the answer, but I still didn't give up wanting to ask clearly.

It's like finding another reason for yourself, a reason to give up everything.

Xiao Hong pursed her lips, raised her eyes to look at Tong Lu, and suddenly began to hurt in her heart.

From the beginning of returning to China with endless hopes, Xiao Hong watched her climb to her current position little by little, and because of a photo and a fake news, everything disappeared and all her efforts became fake.

"The company said let's not make any decisions for the time being, follow the company's arrangement with peace of mind, and will notify us when the discussion is out." Xiao Hong's voice trembled slightly.

Both of them knew that the company's reply was tantamount to directly sentencing them to death.

They were abandoned.

"Okay," Tong Lu hooked her lips, and her smile contained a bitterness deep in her heart, "I know." ”

There was resignation in his tone.

Xiao Hong paused, then slowly walked to Tong Lu's side, raised his hand and gently wrapped his hand around her thin shoulder.

The chin rested on her shoulder, "It's okay, it's a big deal, we're going abroad, my connections are all abroad, and we will develop better after we go back." ”

Xiao Hong's arms were slightly warm, the only warmth Tong Lu felt that night.

"Do you want to go abroad again......" Tong Lu muttered quietly.

But how could she be willing......

She went out because she was alone, and she came back because of that person, and now, will she repeat the same mistakes......

Tong Lu pursed her lips, withdrew from the last trace of warmth, and turned to look at Xiao Hong, her eyes filled with unprecedented firmness, "I don't want to go out." ”

"But ......," Xiao Hong frowned.

"I'm not reconciled." Despite this situation, Tong Lu's arrogant neck is still raised, and there is still a tenacity like a teenager between her eyebrows and eyes.

Xiao Hong didn't know that Tong Lu's heart ached.

But everything now has made them deeply feel the helplessness of being involuntarily.

They may really have the courage to rebel against fate, but fate is never something they can decide, and at this moment, there is no chance left at all.

The silence of the early morning is still spreading in the room, the window is as bright as day, and in a corner of this city that never sleeps, someone is carnivaling, pushing cups and changing lamps, talking and laughing, but none of this has anything to do with Tong Lu.

Taking a deep breath, Tong Lu sat on the sofa and tilted her head to look out the window.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

Xiao Hong sat quietly next to Tong Lu and didn't speak, the mobile phone on the coffee table lit up again and again, showing an unfamiliar number on it.

"Don't pick it up?"

Tong Lu looked at the flickering interface of the phone, and she knew the people on it.

It was the representative of Vest Fashion, the first partner to call after the accident.

But it definitely won't be the last, Tong Lu thought to herself.

Xiao Hong's outstretched hand paused, and pursed her lips to meet Tong Lu's cold gaze.

She could guess what was going on without answering.

"Let's take it." Tong Lu turned her head and stopped staring at her phone.

Xiao Hong chuckled lightly and picked up the phone as if accepting some reality.

The whole conversation lasted less than half a minute, Xiao Hong only whispered a good word, and then heard an indifferent busy voice from the other side.

I suddenly felt a little more emotion in my heart.

Xiao Hong pinched the warm mobile phone in his hand, turned around, and countless words poured into his mouth, and in the end it only turned into a shallow smile.

The person who once wanted to ask for an endorsement in front of her dared to hang up her phone.
