“I did that to save you,” he replied matter-of-factly.

“I believe that you are a sensible girl.” He looked her in the eye and said, “You didn’t shed a tear despite the situation you were put through earlier.”

“I’m... used to it.” Her shoulders shrugged slightly as his words hit her tender spot.

He slightly bent over and pushed back her fringe to have a better look at her, his lips curving into a gentle smile.

“You don’t have to be strong as a girl. A child who knows when to cry gets a candy.”

She silently pondered on his words.

She had always been a sensible girl from a young age. In fact, she was too strong-willed. She would rather bear the burden than complain about it.

However, the longer she had to bear, the heavier it got.

She pursed her lips and smiled. “Thank you. I understand what you mean now.”

“Hey! A girl like you should know when to take advantage of your assets.”

His eyes sparkled as an idea flashed through his mind. “It will be a pity if you merely become my assistant. With your assets, you are suited to acting. Huanyu has invested in a film called the ‘Green Apple’. There is a nationwide audition for the female lead role right now. Do you want to try auditioning for it?”

She became slightly hopeful because of his convincing words.

“This is an invitation letter. Tomorrow is the last day of the audition. I’ll be there, too.” He passed to her a compact and well-designed card.

This card, unlike a normal one, came with fine details, with gold trimmings and a lace clasp. This was a high-end, one-of-the-kind, invitation letter.

It was evident how much importance and admiration he had for her from this gesture.

From outside the glass window, one could see that it was raining.

Gu Xingze’s assistant hurried over and was surprised to find him speaking to a slender-looking girl.

“Xingze, she is...”

“Oh!” The superstar was unsure of how to introduce Yun Shishi to the assistant.

Yun Shishi was still tipsy from the alcohol, but she managed to give a polite reply. “How are you? My surname is Yun. I’m Yun Shishi!”

“Oh, Shishi. What a nice name,” the assistant praised with a smile.

The three chattered away as they walked toward the parking lot.

A Bentley was parked at the side of the road.

Yun Tianyou, who had been waiting for a while, finally saw his mother exit the place. He moved to get off the car to pick her up.

Li Hanlin stopped him quickly. “Director Yun, it’s raining heavily right now. I’ll go; you wait in the car.”

“Oh, thanks.”

Li Hanlin smiled, took out an umbrella, and alighted from the car.

Gu Xingze’s nanny van was parked not far from the Bentley. As the three of them were about to get into the van, they saw a man in a smart-looking suit approaching them.

“Miss Yun, I’m here to pick you up.”

Gu Xingze’s mind was full of questions as he eyed Li Hanlin and the extravagant car behind him.

This man looked prim and proper and should hold a high position, yet he spoke with extreme courteousness and gentleness to Yun Shishi.

Who is he? Is he really here to pick her up?

He had encountered such scenarios before.

In this industry, there were many actresses who might appear pure and innocent on the screen but actually had sugar daddies in reality.

Whether as an escort or giving sexual favors, they were willing to use any dirty means to move ahead.

He had been in the show business for a decade, so he knew how dirty this industry was.

Those A-listed stars would normally have a few sugar daddies.

Actresses would rotate between a few paymasters like disposable merchandise.

Is this girl the same, too?
