After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wan Yu smiled at Lin Yi Chen who looked resentful and angry.
“Alright, I know you’ve been wronged. Don’t be angry,” Jiang Wan Yu said gently.
Hearing this, Lin Yi Chen felt even more wronged. “No wonder you never forgave me. Is it because someone else spoke ill of me in front of you? As for Xu Wen Jing’s affairs, I usually let others handle them. I haven’t personally interfered in her career matters. And you know, she’s the type to use her engagement as a banner. Even if I didn’t say anything, she could still create a lot of trouble.”
As for whether he knew or not, of course he did.
But what did it matter?
Although Lin’s Group was under his management now, it had no real connection to him.
Whatever Xu Wen Jing did with the company’s assets, borrowing jewelry and evening dresses, it was all Lin Haowei’s loss.
It had nothing to do with him, Lin Yi Chen.
He simply didn’t care about what Wen Jing did.
Seeing Lin Yi Chen looking pitiful, Jiang Wan Yu couldn’t help but embrace his waist. “Alright, don’t be angry. No one spoke ill of you in front of me. They were just worried that I would soften my heart and reconcile with you, so they deliberately said those things.”
As Jiang Wan Yu took the initiative to hug him, Lin Yi Chen’s eyes lit up.
Then with a thought, he continued to play the pitiful card. “So, have you ever softened your heart for me? And have you ever thought about getting back together with me?”
Jiang Wan Yu hesitated for a moment and then shook her head honestly. “No, at that time, I hated you too much. How could I think about reconciling with you?”
Lin Yi Chen’s expression dimmed instantly.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan Yu continued with a smile, “But I did soften my heart, once.”
With these words, Lin Yi Chen’s face lit up with a big smile. “Really?”
“Yes, it was the day you coughed up blood. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to the hospital to see you specifically,” Jiang Wan Yu admitted frankly.
Since there were no more secrets between them, she had no reason to hide her true feelings at the time.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi Chen’s face broke into a wide grin. “I knew you went to see me on purpose!”
It turned out that he wasn’t being presumptuous back then.
The next day at 7:00 PM, the entire entertainment industry’s grand event, the Starlight Awards. It took place at the Jiangcheng Sports Arena.
Reporters with cameras and microphones had been waiting by the red carpet for a while, anticipating the arrival of the stars.
At exactly 7:00 PM, the invited celebrities began to appear.
The camera flashes started to light up non-stop.
After about half an hour, Xu Wen Jing made her entrance.
As soon as she got out of the car, dozens of cameras were pointed at her. “Miss Xu, you look stunning today! Can you strike a pose for us?”
Xu Wen Jing smiled gracefully and cooperated by striking poses on the red carpet.
After occupying the red carpet for a full five minutes, Xu Wen Jing finally left with her handbag.
The other celebrities following behind her were speechless.
Walking the red carpet was a limited opportunity for everyone.
Of course, if you were a mega A-list star, the organizers would want you to stay on the red carpet for as long as possible.
But Xu Wen Jing wasn’t even considered an A-list star; at best, she was a B-list actress who had risen to fame through her relationship with a wealthy man.
Yet, she dared to take five minutes on the red carpet?
But everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Xu Wen Jing was a true second-generation wealthy individual, and her fiancé was the heir to a billion-dollar empire.
No one could afford to offend her.
So, they endured it.
As the next lesser-known celebrity was about to exit her car, someone suddenly knocked on her car window.
“Hello, I’m Chi Zaozao’s manager. Can we go ahead of you?” Chi Zaozao’s manager asked politely.
