After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Your First Choice is Definitely Not Because of Trust

Sang Qiao looked down at the card in her hand and did not take it. “Xingxing, you are not suitable.”

Su Nuanying bit her lower lip tightly, her head lifting somewhat unwillingly, “Is it because you are still concerned about the past? I said I wouldn’t betray you again. Cousin, don’t be so heartless, don’t deny a person a second chance.”

Su Nuanying was very clear that her parents were willing to invest so much money because they trusted Sang Qiao.

If it were someone else, her parents definitely wouldn’t dare, after all, it was not a small sum.

“Rose Entertainment is my blood, sweat, and tears; all the shareholders and executives were scrutinized by me, from their character to their family relationships. I will not trust someone who was once so foolish.”

Sang Qiao looked down at her seriously, even if Su Nuanying had realized her mistake, she was still too impulsive in her actions.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so eager to invest so soon after collecting the money; she was just too anxious for success.

“What about you then? You’ve also been that foolish.” Su Nuanying questioned, admitting that she might not have such formidable capabilities, but with a little cultivation, she wouldn’t be too bad.

This was the confidence of a novice.

“Yes, indeed, the difference is I didn’t lose anything, and whatever I lost, I’ve taken back one by one.” Sang Qiao’s retreating figure paused slightly.

Only she knew that the heart which once loved her person without looking back could never return.

She no longer had the courage or the strength.

“Also, if you don’t have faith in me, I won’t force you, but I hope we can still be friends. I really admired you once, and I still do, that’s why you were my first choice.”

Su Nuanying lowered her head and smiled, unable to resist touching her stomach, as if she could still feel the pain from that day.

It was not just the child, but also the simple sisterly bond she once shared with her cousin.

She knew this deal wouldn’t happen, and now she didn’t want to offend her cousin anymore.

“Your first choice is me only because I can now guarantee you a profit with no loss.” Sang Qiao didn’t pause in her steps this time, heading upstairs directly.

Su Nuanying stood there dazed, not knowing whether to say her cousin has become too clever, or if their relationship had devolved to one solely based on mutual benefits.

Su Nuanying was clear that the cousin who once treated her like a younger sister would never return.

But she would no longer resent her cousin’s superior attitude, clearly realizing the gap between them, clearly understanding that their distance was growing further and further apart.

After Fu Xing returned to Rose Entertainment, Meng Jiahe indeed treated him very well, providing top-quality resources.

This made Fu Xing incredibly happy, but Su Nuanying was still ultimately an unsettling factor; he must find an opportunity to deal with her for good.

“Ah He, is it really okay for me to go to such a big casting tomorrow?”

“Of course, you should know how popular this role is; don’t cause any trouble,” Meng Jiahe said with interest as she watched his excited demeanor.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely seize this opportunity,” Fu Xing said with a proud smile.

The door suddenly got kicked in, Lu Anchi strode in, an angry expression on his face, “Sister Ah He, how can you sign Fu Xing back and support him like this? Have you forgotten what he did to our company?”

“Get out, you don’t need to worry about this matter.” Meng Jiahe sighed inwardly, An Chi might be earnest, but he was too hasty.

“How can I not care, if he betrayed us once, there can be a second time! Sister Ah He, is it really like Sister Qiao said, you like Fu Xing, so…”

“An Chi, I was wrong before, but now we are coworkers, and I hope you can forgive me.” Fu Xing spoke with sincere attitude, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

“Shut up, you must have an agenda for coming back this time, only Sister Ah He would fall for it. As for Sister Qiao, she wouldn’t even give you a second glance.”

Lu Anchi clenched his fists tightly; if it weren’t for the setback from his impulsive actions last time, he probably would have lost his temper and given Fu Xing a beating right there and then.

Especially knowing that Fu Xing had secured so many good resources, along with the company’s PR team’s deliberate whitewashing, his value had skyrocketed.

“An Chi, how can you talk about me like that? I truly am reformed. If you think so poorly of me, at least don’t tarnish Sister Ah He’s reputation. At present, she and I are innocent.”

Fu Xing looked at her with feigned sorrow and then stole a glance at Meng Jiahe with deep affection.

Gleaming with a look that screamed: I’m being bullied, won’t you hurry up and help me!

Meng Jiahe, seeing his unbearable ‘green tea man’ facade and feeling truly disgusted, thought about the plans for the evening. “An Chi, if you still want resources, then leave. I signed Fu Xing with Sang Qiao’s approval.”

Hearing this threatening statement, Lu Anchi gripped his fingers even tighter, poised as if about to strike.

“I’m not leaving. Even if you want to sign Fu Xing, the audition today shouldn’t have been given to him. It was something I fought hard for, with even the director’s agreement.”

“An Chi, are you questioning my decision? Have you forgotten the contract? Obey the arrangements. You’re being obstinate. I wouldn’t mind cancelling all your resources if you continue this way.”

Meng Jiahe could only put on a serious face; right now, she had to get rid of this kid, An Chi.

Seeing Sister Ah He defending him in this way made Fu Xing even more smug. He was indeed unforgettable to her.

He chimed in with a posed concern, “It doesn’t matter if you speak ill of me, Sister Ah He. An Chi and I used to be friends; don’t punish him too harshly on my account.”

If Lu Anchi weren’t short on money, he would have punched Fu Xing by now, not giving a damn about any stupid resources!

But considering his hospitalized mother and young sister, he stormed off in a fury.

However, his exit was blocked by Fu Xing, “An Chi, walking away like this, aren’t you disrespecting Sister Ah He? It’s okay to insult me, I’m already lowly, but you also insulted Sister Ah He just now. Is it really appropriate to leave without apologizing?”

Lu Anchi’s grip tightened even more.

Meng Jiahe wasn’t a fool, how could she not hear that Fu Xing wasn’t speaking up for her, but rather wanted an apology from An Chi?

Her recent willingness to accommodate Fu Xing seemed to have boosted his morale.

She didn’t think someone as stubborn as An Chi would deign to apologize to Fu Xing, so she could only pretend not to understand Fu Xing’s intentions, “It’s fine, let An Chi go. He is Sang Qiao’s man, after all.”

Meng Jiahe felt incredibly anxious inside, sorry Sang Qiao! Using your name here.

“Oh, is that so?” Fu Xing finally reluctantly stepped aside. No wonder Sang Qiao was so protective of Lu Anchi; it turns out that An Chi was her secret pet dog.

Lu Anchi walked away without saying a word, despite picking up on the fact that Sister Ah He was protecting him. So what?

His role was still taken away from him, handed over to someone like Fu Xing!

“Ah He, you don’t think I was too harsh just now? I can’t bear to see you wronged in the slightest, after all, you have been so good to me, and I’ve sorted everything out with Xingxing too.”

Fu Xing spoke softly, sitting on the chair next to her, his last sentence dripping with implication.

He was single now, and if she had any thoughts, she was welcome to speak up!
