Chapter Ten: A Trap or a Coincidence

  "What?"

  It was as if a puff of smoke had fallen from the top of a hundred-story skyscraper, without any prelude or warning, and suddenly appeared in front of him. Ren Sheng's eyes and mind were filled with nothing but shock and confusion.

  He's no fool either, someone who used to be able to navigate the entertainment industry, even if he's fallen on hard times, it shouldn't have ended up like this.

  The answer is simple, of course it's not about indulging in luxury, but simply wanting to live a humble life.

  "So, don't mention it again. Neither I nor my mother will like or be willing to have anything to do with this circle again." Shao Qi turned her back and didn't look at him again, her slender and elegant neck shining with a silver glow in the moonlight.

  He stood there facing the moonlight, as if he wanted to walk into the moon itself, away from the mundane world.

  Ren Sheng opened his unusually heavy lips and looked at his back: "Sorry..."

  Time will never stand still, life is always going on.

  It was several days later again.

  On the eve of the college entrance examination, when all parents and teachers are nervous and excited, and millions of students are fearful yet eager to try, another place is quiet and leisurely, almost deserted.

  "What a beautiful child!" In the spacious study, soft sunlight poured in through the window, and on the woman's slender and elegant hands, a layer of hazy light was reflected, with a photo quietly lying there.

  "Miss Yang, the master is back," the servant's mechanical voice sounded. The woman's hand stiffened for a moment, nodded slightly and hummed softly, putting the photo back on the bookshelf, smiling as she walked out of the study room.

  Yes, this woman is none other than Yang Lei, the rising star of film, television and music in recent years.

  "You're back." In the foyer of the villa, Yang Lei's right hand was lightly placed on the railing at the top of the stairs, his face calm as he looked towards the direction of the front door.

  There is a hall with a floor that shines like a mirror, a magnificent gate with gilded doors, and the tall figure of a man.

  He seemed to have grown there, under the bright sunlight, his figure was particularly straight and had a dazzling halo due to the backlight.

  He looked at her like that, then still expressionless, and the people behind him in the same dark-colored suit were talking about something, she only saw those people nodding continuously.

  At this moment when he was thinking deeply and didn't know what to do, there were only him left in the group.

  However, before she could say anything, he slowly smiled at her and said: "I don't remember giving you the right to come and go as you please here!"

  Although having a elegant demeanor like a refined gentleman, there is a hint of unintentional coldness, speaking the most heartless words.

  Yang Lei was taken aback.

  "It's been a long time since we last met!" His hand subconsciously tugged at the hem of his sleeve.

  "Oh, really?" The man sat elegantly on the sofa in the living room, casually picking up the latest financial magazine from the table, without even looking at her.

  "Ah!" Yang Lei calmly walked up to him, gently pulled the newspaper out of his hand, "I missed you..." and then wanted to sit on his lap.

  "Get out of here!" The man's voice was cool and carried a hint of coldness.

  She was unexpectedly pushed by him and fell to the ground without any surprise.

  Yang Lei's mouth corners slightly bitter, but also habitual, and because of knowing it was self-inflicted, so he didn't pretend to get up again.

  But also don't know if it's a coincidence or what, just at this time, the mobile phone ringtone suddenly rang out, perhaps because of the intense vibration, "bang" and it suddenly fell to the ground.

  There is a moment of suffocation in the air.

  The man was about to pick up the newspaper in his hand, but suddenly changed direction and reached for the phone on the ground.

  "Thank you!" Yang Lei seemed somewhat surprised by the other's actions, and with a hint of pride, stretched out his hand to retrieve his phone from the man.

  But instead of reacting, he didn't even flinch and started browsing through the messages inside.

  Her heart suddenly felt a little melancholy, he was like that, forever mysterious and incomprehensible.

  She turned her head to look at the screen changing at his fingertips, and in that instant, she saw a document open on the screen with a woman, a very beautiful woman, and above the picture was written a name: "Lin Yue"......

  "This is some student family information sent over by the principal, didn't Uncle set up a scholarship fund for underprivileged students last time to help those who are not doing well financially but excel in both character and studies......" The air was filled with a suffocating feeling, exuding a hint of coldness, so she tried to break this tranquility.

  "Miss Yang, please!" The maid, who had appeared at some unknown time, bowed slightly and gestured towards the door.

  "I saw that boy, he refused." Her tone was urgent and carried a hint of certainty.

  The man smiled, and without saying a word, he threw the phone to her, not even giving her a glance. His cold and stern face, like a knife carving wood, suddenly revealed a hint of evil spirit, which was accompanied by boundless indifference and apathy.

  She took back her phone and left obediently, her bright red lips pursed tightly. Was it just her imagination earlier?

  In his eyes, for more than 2 years, she saw a strange emotion for the first time, an excitement that only hunters have when they see their prey.

  Clutching her phone tightly in her hand, Yang Lei turned around to take a look at the European-style villa behind her, which was nestled halfway up the mountain and worth a fortune.

  Sighed, people all have many helplessness and unknowability, she still takes good care of herself!

  In the study, a bony hand grasped the photo lightly, and the child in the photo smiled softly, like an angel fallen from heaven to the mortal world...

  But behind that photo, a crooked character was not discovered by Yang Lei. If she had discovered it, perhaps something would have changed first. It's just that she didn't see the word "pray"!

  Dreams are free and innocent, but dear friends, dreams are not only a luxury for some people, but also a freedom that they can no longer touch.

  Under the gray sky, who is melancholy again.

  Shao Qi's heart has been quite unsettled lately, that kind of unrest is like a sixth sense emerging from the depths of his mind, not really real but subtly existing.

  He also knew that this was actually not the pressure brought by the approaching college entrance examination.

  But he, after all, is just an ordinary person, like everyone else, with too many knots and too many constraints, so he can only live each day in a slow and ordinary way.

  Waiting quietly for June 7th to arrive.

  But he had no idea that in this not-so-long wait, all the troubles and sorrows would inexplicably appear one by one before him.
