Chapter 492: Having Enough Ability to Protect Her
Xiaoqiao masked the scorn in her heart, merely adopting a look of guesswork and puzzlement, "Because you’re bored, you seek out women?" Huo Yandong spoke to her in a way that was utterly unguarded, "Which man with even a little bit of power doesn’t have women fawning over him from both sides? The bright and glamorous stars and singers you see on TV have to obediently lie beneath a man at night.
"Girl, the entertainment industry is not as simple as you think! No man who truly loves a woman would want her to enter this circle, unless he has the capacity to protect her!"
Xiaoqiao silently lowered her eyes. Of course, she knew that many actresses were either actively or passively associated with the underworld.
Though her time in the spotlight was short, she had reached heights that many people might not achieve in a lifetime.
During this period, not only did she have a smooth path without hindrance, but she also never encountered any threats or intimidation from so-called rivals; not even a single piece of gossip news deliberately slandered her, and negative press was rare.
Setting aside Jinmulin’s work recommendations and assistance, if Gu Hangshen hadn’t been secretly protecting her all along, how could her journey have been so smooth?
She was self-aware; Feng Sxia hadn’t taken an interest in her merely for her insight and acting skills, since the world was never short of trainable actresses.
It was because Feng Sxia knew that choosing her meant someone would take care of everything behind the scenes, saving the director a lot of trouble. At the end of the day, it was all about the profit.
She always wished to achieve her dreams on her own merit, but realizing that everything hadn’t been gained entirely through her own efforts, her heart wasn’t as discouraged as she expected. Instead, it overflowed with contentment and warmth.
Why fight to the point of wounding oneself to win the approval of unrelated people? She was no masochist.
