Chapter 156 - Ask Him For Help

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Xu Xiyan knew she couldn't hide everything from Fang Xiaocheng any longer.

"Fine, the truth is we're in a creditor and debtor relationship. I owe him 10 billion, and I can't pay him. That's why I'm working for him right now."

"10 billion? How can you owe him that much money?" Fang Xiaocheng couldn't understand the situation, as Huo Yunshen had just come back to Zstan five years ago.

That was when Xu Xiyan left to Estan, so they shouldn't have had the chance to meet each other.

"There's another thing, Xu Xiyan said. "Promise not to hit me though. I was the one who got him into the accident five years ago. He's paralyzed because of me, too. Do you still think 10 billion is a lot?"

Wait, say that again?

Elvis got into the accident because of Xu Xiyan?

She's the one who's responsible for him being crippled?

If that's true, then 10 billion is nowhere near enough. If it was another person, they could just had the police catch her and have her sent to prison.

"Oh my god, what kind of relationship is this? Your luck sure is bad. Looks like you can never pay back all the money." Fand Xiaocheng shook her head.

"What did you do in your past life to get a life like this?" Fan Xiaocheng continued. "You lost your mother when you were young, then were abused by your father for so many years. Then you were framed by Chu Yuhe and Xu Xinrou. Not to mention you've become a single mother at such a young age. And you thought your life could become better when you joined the showbiz, yet now you have to work as a personal assistant for someone for your whole life. Yanyan, why is your life so hard?"

Xu Xiyan opened her arms and said, "Well, this is my life, and I have to live with it."

Fang Xiaocheng suddenly thought of something and grabbed Xu Xiyan's hands. "Hey, isn't Huo Yunshen the CEO of Yunhai Entertainment? The lord of Peijing's showbiz? Why don't you ask him for help and join his company? With his help, you wouldn't have to be afraid of Chu Yuhe anymore."

"Stop it, Orange," Xu Xiyan said, frowning. "I want to achieve success with my own strength and not by relying on others. I also don't want people to say I got my fame by using Huo Yunshen. I want to remain friends with him, you get me?"

Fang Xiaocheng was stunned by Xu Xiyan's words. "I know what you're thinking, I get it. But it's just so stupid."

Xu Xiyan smiled and did not argue back.

It might have seemed like she wasn't using every chance she had, but she wanted to live a life without regret, a life where she could stand tall and not bow down to others.

She wanted to become a girl who could support herself. This was her way of life.

Fang Xiaocheng suddenly thought of another possibility and said, "Yanyan, since you're Huo Yunshen's personal assistant now, I'm worried that he might fall for you."

"That would be the best," Xu Xiyan said, smiling. "I wouldn't have to waste time and find myself a boyfriend."

"Don't be stupid. He's in a wheelchair and needs someone to take care of him every day. Plus, he has sexual dysfunction. You still have Ying Bao to take care of. Your life would be hard if you were in a relationship with him."

"I don't think so! I think Mr. Huo is a good person."

Fang Xiaocheng was going nuts. "Don't tell me, you've already fallen for him."

Xu Xiyan smiled sweetly as she thought of Huo Yunshen. "Well, what can I do? If you knew him well enough, you would like him too. He's really talented."

After getting along with Huo Yunshen for some time, she came to know his character well enough and was attracted to his temperament and talents.

But Fang Xiaocheng could only imagine everything wrong about their future if Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen were to be together.

"Yanyan! You can't depend on talent to survive! Don't be foolish! I know that you're kind and compassionate, but…I won't object to whoever you're marrying, but if you want to be with Huo Yunshen, I strongly advise you to think carefully."

Seeing that Fang Xiaocheng had become overly anxious, Xu Xiyan laughed and placated her. "Okay, okay, I was just teasing you! Mr. Huo is not interested in me. We're only in an employment relationship. Nothing more."

"Oh! All right, that's good then." Fang Xiaocheng seemed completely relieved.

Fang Xiaocheng stayed for a while before something came up and she had to leave. After Xu Xiyan had escorted Fang Xiaocheng out, she went over to apartment No. 101.

She knew that Huo Yunshen had come to her just now because of the scandal rumor about her and Ma Haodong.

Xu Xiyan had seen the news report herself. The article was biased and there were photos of her being carried by Ma Haodong after she had fainted on the set.

There was no report on the cause and effect of the situation. It was one-sidedly interpreted out of context, and the photos that came with it showed her being carried like a princess in distress, accompanied by a bullshit headline that read:

As she opened the door and entered the house, Xu Xiyan saw Huo Yunshen waiting in the living room. He heard her come in and turned his wheelchair toward her.

"Jing Xi, your friend has already left?"

"Yeah!" Xu Xiyan smiled as she walked toward him. "You've been waiting for me?"

Huo Yunshen nodded, then said, "I'm sorry, did I create trouble for you again?"

"No."

Xu Xiyan pushed him into the room and sat down facing him on the sofa. She took the initiative to explain first.

"You saw the scandalous news? Actually, Ma Haodong and I are not what you've imagined. We're only friends. Because I fell on the set and he happened to be passing by, he carried me away. And someone photographed me and shared the pictures on the internet with bad intentions."

Xu Xiyan did not want to complicate matters, so she did not explain the real reason for her fall in detail.

After Huo Yunshen had listened to her explanation, he smiled. "Jing Xi, I didn't come over just now to question you about this. It's just that you didn't come back all night, and I got worried. You don't have to explain it to me. I believe in you. I trust you no matter what you do."

Whether it was Ma Haodong or the man who had gone to her apartment that other night, Huo Yunshen decided not to interfere with her right to interact with other men.

Therefore, no matter who she was with, he would always guard her silently. And as long as he could see her every day, that would be enough.

After listening to him, Xu Xiyan couldn't help but sigh. "If only I had a kind and generous boyfriend like you, it would be great."

Huo Yunshen: "…"

What did she mean?

Could it be, because of that rumored scandal, she had quarreled with her boyfriend?

As he was wondering about the possibilities, Xu Xiyan's cell phone rang.

She looked down at the caller ID. As it would be inconvenient to pick up this call in front of Huo Yunshen, Xu Xiyan apologized and then ran out to the balcony to answer the phone.
