Chapter 9
The filming of Gu Yan's new movie was progressing smoothly.
My performance received unanimous recognition from the entire crew.
This brought me a sense of comfort.
It felt as if my efforts after being reborn were finally paying off.
I had once fallen to the depths.
Now, I stood once again under the spotlight.
This feeling was truly wonderful.
However, this tranquility was soon shattered.
That night, after finishing work, I returned to the hotel.
I collapsed onto the bed in exhaustion.
Just as I was about to rest.
The phone suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
I hesitated for a moment.
Should I answer it?
What if it’s a spam call?
But what if it’s something important?
I took a deep breath.
In the end, I decided to pick up the call.
“Qin Wan, long time no see.”
A chilling voice came through, sending shivers down my spine.
It was Shen Hao.
My heart sank suddenly.
A chill surged from my feet to the top of my head.
How could he know my new number?
What did he want?
"What do you want?"
I forced myself to ask, struggling to control my trembling voice.
"Don't be nervous."
He chuckled lightly.
That laughter was like a snake flicking its tongue, sending shivers down my spine.
"I just wanted to remind you that some things can't be forgotten just because you want to."
His tone was laced with a menacing threat.
I tightened my grip on the phone.
My nails nearly dug into my flesh.
I desperately fought against the fear and anger rising within me.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
I almost forced the words out through clenched teeth.
"You'll find out soon enough," he replied, feigning mystery.
"Just wait and see."
The call ended, leaving behind a harsh busy signal.
I sat frozen on the bed.
A chill shot up from my feet to the top of my head once more.
What did Shen Hao mean by that?
What does he want to do?
A sense of foreboding enveloped me.
I felt as if an invisible giant hand was gripping my throat.
I couldn't breathe.
The next day, I forced myself to the set.
I tried hard to concentrate.
But Shen Hao's threat lingered in my mind, refusing to fade away.
Like a nightmare that wouldn't let go.
During a break in filming,
I was scrolling through Weibo,
trying to distract myself.
Suddenly, a trending topic caught my eye.
Qin WanInterfering in Marriage
My breath hitched.
My heart constricted sharply.
A chill spread throughout my body in an instant.
I clicked on the trending topic.
It was a series of photos and videos.
In the photos, I was in a hotel room with a man.
In the videos, I appeared intimate with that man.
It certainly looked like we were on a date.
And that man?
I didn’t recognize him at all!
I trembled all over.
It felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over me from head to toe.
What was happening?
Who was trying to frame me?
Could it be Shen Hao?
Who else would do such a thing?
In the comments section, a torrent of insults flooded in.
"I knew she was no good!"
"Acting all innocent, but she's just a mistress!"
"Disgusting! Get out of the entertainment industry!"
These vicious comments were like sharp knives, piercing my heart.
My vision blurred before me.
Tears streamed down uncontrollably.
I desperately tried to explain.
I posted a statement on Weibo to clarify the facts.
But no one believed me.
They were convinced I was just a homewrecker.
I sat on the ground in despair.
It felt as if the entire world had collapsed around me.
All my efforts had gone to waste.
At that moment, my phone rang again.
It was still that unfamiliar number.
I hesitated.
Should I answer it?
I hesitated, fearing I might miss some important information.
But I also dreaded hearing Shen Hao's nauseating voice.
In the end, I answered the call.
"Surprised?"
Shen Hao's voice dripped with sarcasm.
I clenched my teeth, struggling to contain my anger.
"It was you, wasn't it?"
My voice trembled, yet it was filled with fury.
"So what if it was me?"
He laughed triumphantly.
"Don't you want to turn the tables? I want to see how you plan to do that this time!"
His laughter was like a sharp blade, piercing deeply into my heart.
My heart felt as if it were being shredded.
I could only wish to tear Shen Hao into a thousand pieces.
I took a deep breath, striving to calm myself.
I couldn't let him defeat me.
I had to fight back.
"Shen Hao, do you really think this will bring me down? You're mistaken!"
I said coldly.
"I won't let you succeed!"
My tone was filled with determination and resolve.
