Chapter 445: Heard You Got Shelved (50)

Lacking confidence, Zhao Yong said, “Do you not realize that the person Tang Xiaoxing truly loves is Li Yunze? Back when Starshine poached you from Glory Entertainment, it was only because your brows and eyes somewhat resembled Li Yunze’s. If Tang Xiaoxing ever loses interest in you and goes back to Li Yunze, do you think you’ll still have what you have now?”

Yu Jingchen smiled slowly.

His features were exquisite and beautiful, and when he smiled like that, it carried a captivating allure.

Especially his eyes, shimmering like ripples on a lake, stood out even in an entertainment industry overflowing with good-looking people.

No wonder his popularity skyrocketed as soon as he gained a bit of platform exposure and resources.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yong couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret.

But it was too late to say anything now.

He frowned at Yu Jingchen and asked, “What are you laughing at?”

Yu Jingchen’s eyes curved slightly as he said, “I just think Brother Zhao’s way of seeing things hasn’t changed.”

As he walked past Zhao Yong, he added softly, “Do you really think that what I have in my hands is just limited to those things?”

At those words, both men instantly understood each other.

Zhao Yong thought about the previous scandal and the severe damage it had done to his reputation.

It had even angered the higher-ups.

If it weren’t for the connections he’d painstakingly built over the years to climb the ladder, he would’ve been finished already.

Hearing Yu Jingchen’s words now, cold sweat began to drip down his forehead, and even his legs felt weak.

Shivering, he said, “Yu Jingchen, what are you planning? I’m warning you, don’t do anything reckless. Otherwise, I’ll make sure someone keeps a very close eye on that orphanage of yours.”

The veiled threat in his words didn’t faze Yu Jingchen at all.

Instead, his lips curved into a faint smile.

“Thank you, Brother Zhao. I truly appreciate it.”

Zhao Yong’s eyes widened in disbelief, seemingly shocked by how cold-blooded those words sounded.

“Do you not care at all? Didn’t you just donate money to them recently? Aren’t you afraid I’ll do something to the people there?”

Yu Jingchen took a step closer and chuckled lightly.

“Brother Zhao, perhaps you don’t know me very well. That orphanage? I wish it would disappear from this world.”

His tone was calm and unhurried, but it sent an icy chill down Zhao Yong’s spine.

So much so that he didn’t even notice when Yu Jingchen walked away or what he said before leaving.

When World Of Mortal Jianghu wrapped up filming, the shoot had taken just over four months.

Since Li Yunze’s role in the series wasn’t particularly significant, he finished his scenes early and left the set, though he appeared unwilling and dissatisfied as he departed.

The wrap party was held at a well-known upscale restaurant in Beijing, a place usually reserved for high-profile figures.

Celebrities rarely dined there, and when they did, it was only on special occasions.

Paparazzi had no chance of entering this venue.

Even if they disguised themselves, the staff would quickly recognize and escort them out with security.

Director Xu was an excellent filmmaker.

He chose this location simply because he wanted the crew to have a joyful, uninterrupted dinner.

Additionally, the filming schedule had been shortened by a fifth, which pleased him immensely.

So, at the banquet table, he couldn’t help but drink a few extra glasses of wine in celebration.

Not long after, Shen Mubai also encountered Li Yunze again.

His demeanor clearly suggested he was trying to approach her.
