When Song Yuchen and Qu Fan rushed back to the company after hearing the news, the bank staff were still there.

Lin Lan ordered a meeting room to be cleared out, where bank employees and Yaoxing Finance were counting the money Fang Li had brought.

Seeing that money, Song Yuchen was also taken aback.

But he quickly came to his senses and ran upstairs to find Lin Lan to ask her for clarification, only to be turned away at the door.

Lin Lan's assistant relayed that Song Yuchen should immediately inform Director Feng that Yu Wei had been chosen as the female lead for the new film.

"President Lin also said..."

Seeing his assistant stammering, Song Yuchen's face darkened: "What else is there to say?"

"President Lin said that Fang Li will no longer be an artist with the company, and you should not have any contact with her anymore. The leaders at headquarters also know about Fang Li's behavior this time, especially President Sheng, who is particularly angry."

"This incident has blown up so much that it will likely trigger a lot of online speculation. Although the public relations department has prepared a response, it is inevitable that some people will slip through the net."

"President Sheng's intention is that as long as Yaoxing is affected in any way by this matter, Fang Li will be completely banned from the internet."

"..."

Song Yuchen didn't know how she got downstairs.

He felt as if a raging beast was rampaging through his chest, about to burst out and devour him.

The office door was pushed open forcefully.

Qu Fan looked up when he heard the noise and saw Song Yuchen coming in with a furious expression.

"What's going on?" he asked, getting up.

His response was a violent impact.

Song Yuchen kicked over the trash can next to the coffee table, and it rolled several times before crashing into the glass partition.

Bang!

The glass trembled several times.

The colleagues outside all looked over in surprise.

Qu Fan quickly went over and closed the office door before turning to look at him.

Having known each other for so many years, this was the first time Qu Fan had seen Song Yuchen so out of control.

He remained silent, his face darkening.

"I told you long ago, forced relationships are never sweet. The problem between you and Fang Li is a chronic one, and the wrap party was just the fuse."

“I could tell from the last phone call that she was determined this time, and leaving the company was only a matter of time. I just didn’t expect…” He put his arm around Song Yuchen’s shoulder, pressed him into the sofa, and sat down next to him.

“That penalty for breach of contract is no small amount. Didn’t you say she didn’t have much money? Where did she get this money from?”

Qu Fan's words startled Song Yuchen.

His hand, which was tucked into his hair, slowly slipped down. He looked up, and a hint of doubt gradually appeared in his eyes.

Qu Fan: "Your movie is about to start filming, and there are countless eyes watching Yaoxing in the shadows. Fang Li really made a big fuss about this, so it's understandable that President Lin is angry. Why don't you go ask Yu Wei? Didn't she say she was there at the time?"

Song Yuchen: "......"

-

When they found Yu Wei, she was drowning her sorrows in a private club.

Song Yuchen opened the door, and there was only Yu Wei in the huge private room. She leaned against the sofa, staring sadly at the screen opposite her, and occasionally raised her glass to take a big gulp.

Song Yuchen glanced at her, then turned and closed the door to go inside.

With tears in her eyes, Yu Wei turned to look at Song Yuchen, clearly feeling wronged, yet still pretending to be strong and nonchalant.

"Achen, why do you think Fang Li treated me like this? What did I do wrong? If it's because of you, I can just keep my distance from you from now on... Why does she treat us like this...?"

As Yu Wei spoke, tears silently streamed down her face.

Song Yuchen's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of President Lin's attitude and the rumors circulating in the company about Fang Li, his brows furrowed slightly.

"She might just feel resentful, after all... after all, we wronged her last time, so it's understandable that she's angry. Yu Wei, you..."

Yu Wei shook her head, tears welling in her eyes: "I know, that's why I've always tolerated and indulged her. I just wanted to coexist peacefully with her, but she..."

She looked at Song Yuchen with pain in her eyes: "She actually found a random man to satisfy her own purpose in order to get revenge on us."

"What did you say?"

Song Yuchen frowned deeply. Although he had already guessed when he learned that Fang Li had taken out so much money, it was a different story when he heard Yu Wei say it.

"Ah Chen, you didn't see how arrogant Fang Li was at the company today. I don't blame her for hitting me, I don't blame her for bullying me, I just feel sorry for her. Just to spite us, she actually sacrificed herself like this..."

Song Yuchen's face immediately turned cold: "Fang Li is not that kind of person! She has always been virtuous and upright, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter!"

They had known each other for over six years and been together for over a year; he knew her better than anyone else.

She had been clinging to him for so long, but at most she would ask for a kiss or a hug. If she went any further, she would just retreat into her shell like a snail.

She knew her too well; she might appear indifferent, but deep down she was conservative and self-respecting.

She cares about social status and etiquette, and she adheres to principles and rules. She would never do such a thing just to get revenge on him!

“Indeed…she was just that virtuous.” Yu Wei murmured, her eyes lowered, a hint of resentment on her face.

Fang Li!

No, Xu Fangli! Remember this, this won't end here!

"I hope she won't be so impulsive as to jeopardize her future. That man... maybe I've misjudged him," she murmured.

Song Yuchen's eyes darkened slightly when she mentioned that man again.

"Let's leave it at that. I believe her. Don't drink so much. If someone takes pictures, it'll be another problem. Come on, I'll take you home."

"I don't want to go back."

Yu Wei sat motionless with a melancholy look in her eyes, when she sensed the man come over and sit down beside her.

Song Yuchen hesitated for a moment, then gently pulled her into his arms.

"It's Fang Li's fault for being so immature and causing you to suffer."

“…Ah Chen.” Yu Wei bit her lip, seemingly trying her best to suppress her emotions, but tears still fell uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, but if crying makes you feel better, then cry. I'll be with you."

Yu Wei reached out and hugged him back, burying her head in his chest.

"I'm so tired. Thankfully, thankfully you're here with me, caring for me and comforting me. Ah Chen, please don't leave me, please..."

Song Yuchen remained silent.

After a moment of silence, he reached out and tightened his grip on her waist, his lips lightly brushing against the top of her head.

"Don't worry, I'm always here."

"Ah."

-

airport.

Just as he was about to go through security, Han Xi couldn't help but stop and turn around to walk towards Fang Li again.

Are you sure you don't want to come with me?

The man, dressed in a sharp and composed suit, had one hand in his pocket and the other holding a phone at his side. He was handsome with dark eyes as he looked at her.
