Chapter 26

Su Jianxi jumped in shock, whereas Li Tingxiao raised an eyebrow, turning his sharp gaze to Shen Siming.

On the other hand, Shen Siming assumed Li Tingxiao was just a part of the crew and did not even spare him a glance.

Instead, he looked at Su Jianxi urgently and tightly gripped her hands, his eyes full of guilt. “My relationship with Huanran definitely isn’t like what they reported in the news! We were drugged, that’s why we did something so horrible last night. Someone must be out to frame us! That’s why they drugged us and bribed the reporters. They want to destroy Heaven’s Entertainment!”

“Shen Siming, what do you take me for? A three-year-old?” Su Jianxi was utterly disgusted by Shen Siming.

He said he was drugged?

Him?

“It’s true! Jianxi, when have I ever lied to you? Last night…”

Smack—

Before Shen Siming could finish his sentence, there was the resounding sound of a tight slap.

Su Jianxi was the one who slapped Shen Siming mercilessly across the face. Just the very sound of it physically hurt.

“Shen Siming, that one’s for all the times I took the fall for Su Huanran over the years.”

Su Jianxi flicked her hand, which stung from the slap, and immediately smacked him again.

“That one’s for all the time and effort I wasted on you. Starting from today, you and I are completely through.”

Someone without a sense of shame could do just about anything. The very sight of Shen Siming’s face made Su Jianxi nauseous.

Li Tingxiao’s dark gaze fell on Shen Siming. It seemed that he had not pressured Heaven’s Entertainment enough, or else Shen Siming would not have the free time to seek out his wife.

“If hitting me makes you feel better, you can beat me to death! I’m begging you, just save Heaven’s Entertainment. Jianxi, if you can help me through this crisis, I promise I’ll marry you!”

Shen Siming wrapped his arms around Su Jianxi’s waist, acting as though he would not let go as long as Su Jianxi did not say yes.

“Shen Siming, let go of me!” Su Jianxi was not as strong as Shen Siming, so all her struggles were to no avail.

Just as Su Jianxi was feeling stumped, the force around her waist vanished in an instant, and Shen Siming was sent flying.

Li Tingxiao had punched Shen Siming.

He picked Shen Siming up by the collar and smashed his fist into Shen Siming’s face before kicking the latter in the stomach.

Shen Siming was never the fighting type, so he was no match for Li Tingxiao. As a result, he was beaten black and blue without even putting up the semblance of a fight.

“Who… Who are you?” Shen Siming held his bleeding nose, his expression terrified. “Jianxi, call security.”

“You don’t have the right to know.” With that, Li Tingxiao punched him again, and the defenseless Shen Siming felt his vision turning black as he immediately passed out.

“This place is too noisy. Let’s find somewhere quieter to eat.” Li Tingxiao gave Shen Siming a cold glance before taking Su Jianxi elsewhere.

Su Jianxi looked at Shen Siming, who lay motionless on the floor. She said, “You shouldn’t have punched him.”

“Why, does your heart hurt for him?” Li Tingxiao’s voice dropped a few degrees in temperature.

“You punched that piece of trash, but in the process, you hurt your hand.”

Li Tingxiao chuckled softly and continued to walk right ahead.

At the same time, in one of the production team’s tall buildings…

Zhang Da held a pair of binoculars in his hands, his expression unbelievably excited.

“Second Young Master, I think I saw the First Young Master.” Li Jingchen had been sitting on the couch, watching a pretty lady’s live stream, but when he heard what Zhang Da said, he immediately tossed his phone aside.

“Where?” Li Jingchen grabbed the binoculars and searched everywhere.
