Chapter 217: Everything's Out in the Open
"I may not be able to do anything to Gu Ye, but I'm more than capable of dealing with you."
Shirley gave a cold laugh.
"Why don't we give it a try?" Chu Xinglan said with a generous smile.
"I know you've trained, but how could I not be prepared for revenge?"
As Shirley spoke, she took out a knife.
Before she could do anything to Chu Xinglan, a group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, snatched Shirley's knife, and restrained her.
Shirley was a little confused.
"Young Miss, are you alright?" The leader of the men in black respectfully handed the knife he had taken from Sherry to Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan took it and smiled slightly, saying, "Even without Gu Ye, I still have the Ming family."
"The Ming family? What is your relationship with the Ming family?" Shirley looked at Chu Xinglan in surprise.
How did she get involved with the Ming family?
"Haven't you seen the news?" Chu Xinglan suddenly realized that because he was worried about her safety, Gu Ye had not revealed her true identity to the public, so apart from a few close people, no one knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Ming family.
"Oh, I forgot." Chu Xinglan walked towards Shirley with the knife, but unlike Shirley, she didn't like to threaten people with a knife. She handed the knife to the man in black and continued to smile, "Have you forgotten what they called me?"
Shirley recognized these people. They were originally arranged by Old Master Ming to protect Ming Yin, but now they were responsible for protecting Chu Xinglan and even called her Miss.
"Isn't the eldest daughter of the Ming family Ming Yin? Why do they call you 'eldest daughter'?"
Shirley was completely confused.
Ming Yin is such a useless person. With such a powerful family like the Ming family, she hasn't been able to get rid of Chu Xinglan after all this time.
“Mingyin is not the eldest daughter of the Ming family at all; I am the real eldest daughter of the Ming family,” Chu Xinglan replied.
how come?
"Where is Mingyin? Where is she now?"
That woman would never allow her identity to be taken away, and she would definitely try to deal with Chu Xinglan. Since she can't take revenge by herself, she should recruit more people.
"You want to see her?" Chu Xinglan smiled. "She's in jail right now. If you want, I can send you in too."
Shirley was surprised for a moment, then fell silent.
Mingyin, that good-for-nothing, is indeed utterly useless.
"I'm clearly better than you in every way, so why does Gu Ye like you so much? Why did you become the eldest daughter of the Ming family? Why do all the good things happen to you?"
Shirley was very unwilling to accept it.
Chu Xinglan ordered her men to release Shirley.
"Now that you've changed your appearance and are living under an assumed name, why don't you live a peaceful life with Paul?"
“Paul?” When Shirley heard Chu Xinglan mention Paul’s name, she suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. “That man is a pervert? He loves me, you’re right, but his love is too morbid.”
As Shirley spoke, she took off her coat, revealing her back, which was covered with new and old wounds of varying depths.
Chu Xinglan was taken aback.
But considering Shirley's character, I don't think she deserves any sympathy.
Shirley didn't expect any sympathy; she didn't care at all.
“Once I’ve taken my revenge, what is Paul? I’ll just throw him away like trash.”
Shirley put her coat back on fiercely, making no attempt to hide her hatred for Chu Xinglan.
“Shirley, remember this: it’s not us who owe you, it’s you who owe us. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have suffered such humiliation in my past life, nor would I have died, and Gu Ye wouldn’t have committed suicide for me.”
Chu Xinglan said through gritted teeth.
"If it weren't for the fact that you and Gu Ye had memories of your past lives, do you think the outcome would have been different? Since we both have memories of our past lives, it means we are destined to be enemies to the death. Chu Xinglan, no matter who owes whom, we are destined to never understand this grudge."
"Then we'll wait and see who lives, you or me." Chu Xinglan prepared to accept Shirley's revenge.
She waved her hand, and the men in black who were protecting her turned and left.
Shirley looked around and saw that only she and Chu Xinglan were left. She knew that if he made any move, those people from before would probably reappear. Not only them, but Gu Ye had probably already secretly sent people to protect her, since he could recognize her at a glance.
Sherry was right. At that moment, a sniper was aiming at Sherry's head from the shadows. If she tried to hurt Chu Xinglan, a bullet would immediately pierce through Sherry's head.
Gu Ye understands Shirley, and Shirley also understands Gu Ye to some extent. After knowing that she is Shirley, why is he so calm? I'm afraid there is murderous intent hidden beneath his calm.
Since Chu Xinglan dared to confront her directly, she needed to be even more cautious; any mishap could have unimaginable consequences.
At that moment, Director Huang ran over from outside.
"You're all here. Hurry up and get ready to start filming." Director Huang said, then whispered to Chu Xinglan, "Who were those people just now? They scared me to death. They suddenly appeared and then left."
"Ignore them, just pretend they don't exist," Chu Xinglan smiled.
They were all professionally trained people. From the moment she was recognized, Old Master Ming assigned them to be responsible for protecting her safety. They usually appeared and disappeared without a trace, and even Chu Xinglan did not know exactly where they were hiding.
"Alright, your next scene is about to be filmed, so get ready." Director Huang's voice softened a bit when speaking to Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan nodded and looked at Shirley.
Shirley didn't say anything, but turned around and followed Director Huang away.
Although Chu Xinglan and Shirley have already confronted each other, it doesn't affect their ability to continue filming. The only difference is that their facade of friendliness has been shattered, and they now look at each other with suspicion and hostility.
"Did something happen between you and Jasmine?" The obvious change between them made Xiao Ze, who cared about Chu Xinglan, notice something at a glance.
"Jasmine is Sherry." Chu Xinglan didn't want to hide it from Xiao Ze.
"Shirley? The woman who kidnapped you?" Xiao Ze was stunned.
Chu Xinglan nodded again.
"That woman is dangerous. How could you let her stay on the set and film with you?" Xiao Ze was very worried.
"That's precisely why I need to keep her under my nose; that way, she won't do anything underhanded, and I can be fully aware of her every move," Chu Xinglan said with a smile.
Xiao Ze thought about it and felt it made sense, but the thought that Shirley might threaten Chu Xinglan's safety made him feel like she was a ticking time bomb, and he always felt uneasy.
"In any case, you'd better be careful."
"It's alright, she can't hurt me," Chu Xinglan reassured Xiao Ze.
"Does senior also know about this?" Xiao Ze asked again.
"He's the one who told me that Jasmine is Sherry."
