When the three of us and a dog were sitting in the pet nursery, I felt for the first time how small the store actually was. I really wanted to escape! Of course, my lament could only be kept in my heart. I came here this time with a mission. Thinking of this, I finally gathered the courage to lift my drooping head and was about to speak to Zhou Yue about Chen Cheng.
Considering that Zhou Yue might not want her brother to know about her emotional entanglements, I shifted my gaze to the man beside her, wanting to ask him to give Zhou Yue and me some space, but I didn't know how to address him politely. After all, the last time we met, I behaved like a crazy lunatic.
Thinking of those awkward moments, I wished I could slap myself twice. How could I dare to flirt with a disabled person in public...
Zhou Yue saw me staring at her brother and became even more certain that I was there to rent the house. She took the initiative to break the awkward situation. "I forgot to tell you, my brother is deaf-mute. He can't hear or speak. If you have any questions when renting the house, I can convey them to my brother for you."
Wait a minute, the reason I came today is not to see your brother, but to see you.
Perhaps my expression was a bit off, causing Zhou Yue to mistakenly think that I had an issue with her brother being deaf-mute. She quickly waved her hands to explain, "Although my brother is deaf-mute, he can take care of himself in daily life, just like any normal person. He has his own job, can cook delicious meals, and cleaning the house is no problem for him..."
Zhou Yue began to list her brother's strengths one by one, as if she were at a blind date event. I saw her getting more and more off track, and the conversation gradually veered into uncontrollable territory. I quickly made a gesture to stop her. "Wait, you may have misunderstood. I'm not interested in your brother. I came here specifically to talk to you about Chen Cheng."
When she heard the name "Chen Cheng," Zhou Yue's previously upturned mouth suddenly turned down, her beautiful lips pursed slightly, and a blush appeared at the corners of her eyes. As a woman who had encountered scumbag men, I knew how cruel this matter was for her, but I still had to rub salt in her wound.
Not only because it was my job, but also because I learned from my colleagues that when Zhou Yue couldn't accept the plan to take money and withdraw from the trending topic, Chen Cheng's company would take other underhanded measures to stop Zhou Yue from damaging Chen Cheng's reputation, such as the most common practice in the entertainment industry, fabricating rumors about Zhou Yue.
When the time comes, Zhou Yue will not only fail to receive an apology, but will also be dragged into an abyss. Just as I suspected, she doesn't want her brother to know about these things, so she made up an excuse to get him out. For a moment, it was just me and this ill-fated girl. "You're also sent by Chen Cheng company to bribe me, right? I'll say it again, I don't want anything, I just want an apology."
Once upon a time, when I encountered injustice, I would insist on an apology. But now, I just want to live an ordinary life after facing too many things. The girl in front of me is obviously a few years younger than me, and she is eager for justice. Even if I speak a lot of high-sounding principles, she won't listen.
"Why do you want an apology?" Through Zhou Yue, I seemed to see my former self. I also want to ask her why she wants justice.
"If all of us victims are bought off, then those rotten things Chen Cheng did will be forgotten... Before long, other girls will be cheated again, won't they?" Zhou Yue trembled as she asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, the girls Chen Cheng deceived in the past were also bought off like this, right? Otherwise, why has he had no scandals in these years? This person is completely rotten!" When mentioning Chen Cheng, she no longer had any love for him, but instead expressed disgust through gritted teeth.
"I have communicated with other deceived girls. The youngest of them was not even eighteen years old. She was even forced by Chen Cheng to have an abortion. Some of the girls, after being harmed by Chen Cheng, developed depression and attempted suicide several times, but fortunately, they were all discovered by their families... How can such a devil still be a big star on the screen?"
I maintained the necessary calm for professional negotiations on the surface, but inside, a storm was brewing. I had never heard of the examples Zhou Yue mentioned. Chen Cheng's company had concealed this from us... If there were minors among the deceived girls, then Chen Cheng's situation is not just a moral issue, but a legal one!
"Tell me in detail about the victims and their experiences of being deceived that you know, and I will report back to the higher-ups. Don't worry, I am not in cahoots with Chen Cheng, I am just trying to make a living," I said self-deprecatingly with a light hum.
"If what you said is true, Chen Cheng will definitely face legal consequences, so you don't need to be afraid," I said, looking at the slender figure in front of me, feeling a great sense of pity. Deceived by her boyfriend, coming alone to a strange city, and with a deaf-mute brother... she must have had a tough time.
I don't know why, but suddenly I really wanted to see Zhou Yue's dimples again, to help this pretty girl break free from the atmosphere of sadness. I inexplicably said, "How about we talk about renting a place?"
After speaking, the girl looked up at me in shock, and I was also startled by my own words.
Forget it, forget it, spoken words are like water poured out! Maybe a stroke of luck is just around the next corner?
