Xu Shuangrong bowed deeply. The sea breeze tousled her hair, but she stubbornly stayed bent at the waist, refusing to straighten up.
Her words had already sent the live chat into an uproar.
[????????]
[What does that mean? Is she admitting it??]
[Huh? She's admitting she knowingly became the other woman?]
[Holy shit, another bombshell!]
[I'd heard this show was wild, but not this wild. We're always getting front-row seats to the drama. There's so much juicy gossip I don't even know where to start.]
Question marks flooded the chat, but Xie Mi remained fairly calm.
She knew exactly how Xu Shuangrong operated. Unless something unexpected happened, a reversal was coming any second.
Sure enough, Xu Shuangrong changed tack.
"If I'd known Jingxi had a girlfriend, I would never, ever have agreed to promote a pairing with him!"
When she raised her head again, tears already streaked Xu Shuangrong's face.
"As a woman myself, I understand that insecurity all too well. You and Jingxi were already in a long-distance relationship, with so few chances to talk face-to-face. You must have felt so insecure. Under those circumstances, seeing Jingxi promote a pairing with another woman... how painful must that have been for you?"
"If it were me, even if my boyfriend only filmed a kissing scene with another woman, I'd probably be jealous for days... Sorry, I'm getting a little off topic, but I really can be that petty."
"Neglecting your relationship because of work is no excuse at all!"
Xu Shuangrong abruptly clasped both of Xie Mi's hands, her eyes brimming with indignant tears. "Teacher Xie, please don't forgive Xiao Jingxi!"
Xie Mi couldn't help narrowing her eyes.
Huh...
What angle was this?
The live chat erupted all over again.
[What... is happening now?]
The system made it three.
