Upon hearing this, Gu Yichen opened his mobile email.

Xia Shu watched his movements, "What video?"

"The surveillance video at the entrance of the audition studio." Gu Yichen said, "Lin Yu came to me today and asked me to pay 200 million yuan for Lin Qingran's medical expenses and mental damages."

Hearing this, Xia Shu exclaimed in disbelief: "It's just a slap, how can it cost so much?"

Gu Yichen felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, "Lin Qingran is the only daughter of the Lin family after all. She was raised by Lin Jingyao. She is different from ordinary people."

Xia Shu was stunned and pursed her lips.

"Yes, her status is indeed noble."

More noble than her.

The air suddenly fell silent.

Gu Yichen glanced at her, then looked away and started looking for the email.

Xia Shu whispered again: "Achen, you will compensate the Lin family for the 200 million, right?"

Gu Yichen glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Well, I will pay you back because Lin Qingran's eardrum was perforated by my slap."

"So...Shushu, this matter is not as simple as you think."

Instantly, Xia Shu clenched her palms, "What? Perforated eardrum?"

She didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Although she was the one who hit you first, I did go too far that time." Gu Yichen said with some guilt.

Xia Shu was startled when she heard that, and then she looked at Gu Yichen flipping through his phone and her heart suddenly started to panic.

If Gu Yichen saw the entire video and knew the whole story, would he... see the slap she gave Xu Xinzhu in the face? What would he think if he saw her being so arrogant and vicious?

She quickly grabbed Gu Yichen, bit her lip, and said with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry, Achen, everything happened because of me. If I hadn't hit Lin Qingran's artist, Lin Qingran wouldn't have hit me. It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so impulsive."

After returning home, she carefully recalled what Lin Qingran said and sorted out the whole thing. Then she suddenly realized that Xu Xinzhu was Lin Qingran's newly signed artist.

No wonder her beating Xu Xinzhu caused Lin Qingran to become furious. At first she thought Lin Qingran was just going crazy.

And what she kept telling Gu Yichen was that Lin Qingran was the one causing trouble.

I wonder if Gu Yichen will think she is a rude woman after watching the video and understanding the whole story?

No matter what, it's better for her to say it first than for Gu Yichen to see it himself.

"What did you say?" Gu Yichen was stunned, frowning and staring at her, "You hit Lin Qingran's artist?"

When he arrived at the scene, all he saw was Lin Qingran beating Xia Shu, and he had no idea what had happened before that.

Xia Shu nodded, "Yeah."

Gu Yichen suddenly became furious, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Xia Shu was stunned by his yelling.

Gu Yichen glared at her and quickly clicked on the surveillance video to watch.

The scene begins with Xia Shu shouting Xu Xinzhu's name and rushing towards her, screaming: "Xu Xinzhu, do you still have any shame?"

Gu Yichen turned on the speaker, so the sound could be heard clearly inside the car.

"You really are good at pretending! If Director Li hadn't liked your face that looks like mine, would he have let you play Jiang Li?"

The Xia Shu in the video is completely different from the one Gu Yichen usually sees. She has a sinister and vicious look on her face, and she is not polite at all when speaking.

Xu Xinzhu seemed not to want to get entangled with her and turned to leave.

"Stop!"

Xia Shu yelled hysterically.

At this moment, she tore off all her gentle disguise and no longer had any tenderness at all.

"Bitch! You should have gotten out of this circle four years ago. Why are you still here? What do you want to do? Do you want to take away something that belongs to me? Today I will let you know what you shouldn't take!"

"You ignorant bitch!"

In the picture, Xia Shu grabbed Xu Xinzhu's hair, raised her arm, and slapped her hard in the face.

A few seconds later, Lin Qingran also walked into the surveillance camera.

This led to the scene that Gu Yichen saw.

Gu Yichen stared at the surveillance screen intently, his eyes shrouded in a gloom. He simply couldn't believe that the unreasonable woman in the video was Xia Shu, whom he had always regarded as a goddess.

"Why didn't you say you were the first to hit me? Huh?" He pressed his brows and said with suppressed anger, "I always thought it was Lin Qingran who hit you first!"

But now, the truth is that Xia Shu, whom he always thought was kind and fragile, hit Lin Qingran's artist first.

Judging from the entire video, the person who caused the trouble was obviously not Lin Qingran, but Xia Shu.

At first he thought that he had a good reason to slap Lin Qingran.

But now it seems that he went too far.

No wonder when he questioned Lin Qingran why she hit Xia Shu, Lin Qingran said nothing and just looked at him with such dead eyes.

Xia Shu cried and explained to him, "Achen, I didn't know at first that Xu Xinzhu was Lin Qingran's artist. I thought Lin Qingran rushed over and slapped me because she didn't like me..."

"You're kidding!" Gu Yichen interrupted her angrily, "Xia Shu, whether you really don't know or are just pretending not to know, only you know in your heart!"

Xia Shu was stunned, "Achen, what do you mean?"

Gu Yichen stared at her with a heavy look in his eyes. "Xia Shu, tell me... do I not know you at all? Or are you just too good at disguising and deceiving, making yourself into a victim? This doesn't seem to be the first time. Last time you were robbed, you deliberately cut yourself with a knife and then framed Lin Qingran. Isn't this your usual method?"

Xia Shu was stunned. "Do you think I'm lying? Do you think I hit Xu Xinzhu on purpose?"

"How else could the timing be so coincidental? I just happened to see Lin Qingran beating you when I arrived? When you told me that Lin Qingran was targeting you, you didn't mention that you beat Xu Xinzhu at all!"

Gu Yichen is extremely irritable now.

He knew that this slap must have made Lin Qingran disappointed in him.

So he was regretful.

Now he knows that everything was most likely planned by Xia Shu. How can he not be angry?

In other words, if Xia Shu hadn't been so scheming, he wouldn't have hit Lin Qingran in the face, wouldn't have perforated her eardrum, and wouldn't have brought the relationship between him and Lin Qingran to an unprecedented freezing point...

Nor would he let Lin Qingran give other men the opportunity to take advantage of her after she is disappointed in him and turn into Lu Siheng's arms!

All this was caused by Xia Shu!
