"Reason? What reason? I thought that after my brother successfully won Summer's heart and body, he would continue to pursue her. After all, she cares about you and has been wanting to break up with me!" Augus leaned back on the sofa in the guest room, laughing lightly and casually.
"Is that so? But whether I can continue to pursue her depends on whether you let me," Mu Shaosi replied coldly, elegantly crossing his legs and resting his chin on one arm.
"Let you go? My girlfriend has fallen for someone else; I should be trying hard to win her back. It's not my style to hand her over to my brother. Besides, if I let go, it won't be long before Summer is abandoned by him! Let me think, my brother wants to steal my girlfriend so badly that he even fabricates some story from five years ago to move her. If he puts in so much effort, the spectacle of dumping her won't be small either!"
Mu Shaosi raised an eyebrow, remaining composed as he waited for Augus to continue.
"Oh, how could I forget? The opening party of Sky Media is the perfect opportunity! Because of me, Summer will definitely attend that day, and my brother will be there too. On that day, he can tell all the socialites that Summer is two-timing me to seduce him. That would be the best way to ruin her reputation!" Augus feigned realization, smirking at Mu Shaosi.
"Since you've already guessed the outcome, do we still need to play this game?" Mu Shaosi asked lazily and indifferently.
"Of course we need to play! Even if Summer wants to break up with me and throw herself into your arms, I haven't agreed to the breakup yet. She's my woman, and I will protect her well; I won't let my brother bully her!"
The conversation between the two men drifted clearly into Xinran's ears as she stood quietly outside the door, tears streaming down her cheeks. She covered her mouth with her hand, fearing that her weak tears would be heard or seen by the two men inside, leading to more ridicule from them...
Look at how ridiculous it is; what she thought was love turned out to be a scheme. No, calling it a scheme is too serious; it was just a harmless game between two brothers. Sadly, she had become a pawn in this game—a marionette controlled by others while foolishly thinking she was a free individual!
Calculating the time, she had been in the entertainment industry for several years now, acting in many roles. Although they were mostly supporting characters or mere walk-ons, her acting skills had never been questioned. So she thought her acting was excellent. But in reality, the true actors were those two men! Augus's extraordinary acting skills go without saying, but that man named Dong Shan Zhong, who wasn't even an actor, was better than many actors—at least better than her—because she had never noticed any flaws...
In fact, she should have seen the signs earlier because this man named Dong Shan Zhong had avoided her for over two months. Perhaps he truly despised everything about her and didn't want to see her. Yet she remained like a fool, worrying about him getting into trouble or falling for someone else. The sadness and depression of those past two months now seemed like nothing but a joke—a very funny joke!
Dong Shan Zhong is... Dong Shan Zhong, but that's not actually his name, right? Isn't he Augus's brother? Xinran bit her lip and wiped away her tears. Why was she crying? This was not worth her tears; weakness had never belonged to her...
With a loud bang, she pushed the door open and stared at the two men sitting across from each other in the room. Calmly, she said, "Let's end the game. I've already heard the conclusion you designed. Without any novelty, it can't hurt me anymore!"
