Chapter 1045. Exchange (2)
Xi Xinyi did not quite respond to what Gu Lingsha said and just silently met her gaze.
Gu Lingsha then smiled. “As a woman, I do pity you a little. As your superior, I regard you highly. In fact, Miss Xi, you were also once a dazzling star in the entertainment industry. If it weren’t for…no matter what, you should be enjoying both fame and fortune, and a blissfully happy family…”
When Xi Xinyi heard these, her fingers that held onto the document suddenly tightened. She looked a little gloomy, yet it was only a split second. Moments after that, she returned to appearing calm.
Gu Lingsha took all of this in, seeming satisfied with Xi Xinyi’s reaction, so she smiled and said, “As a woman, I just feel sorry and find it unfair for you, Manager Xi. Your sister, Xi Xiaye, is a very capable character, and also a…”
“I don’t want to talk about the past anymore, Manager Gu. If there’s nothing else, then I’d like to leave first.” Xi Xinyi lowered her gaze and held the document in hand tighter as her tone became a little cold.
Gu Lingsha paused slightly, then nodded and smiled. “I’m sorry, Manager Xi. I didn’t mean to bring that up. I was just feeling unfair on your behalf. I’ve seen all your hard work in recent times. Despite so many blows, you’ve become the way you are now. I feel like I see parts of me in you. I think I can more or less empathize with your situation.”
“I can only blame myself for not being as skilled as others.” Xi Xinyi’s lips parted slightly and you could hear a hint of cynicism in her voice.
“Manager Xi, you don’t have to give up. You’re great too. As long as you work hard, you won’t fall short of anyone else, including Xi Xiaye.” Gu Lingsha pointed out what she meant while Xi Xinyi was stunned to hear that and fell silent for a while. Then, she looked up at Gu Lingsha. “Thank you Manager Gu. I’ll do my best.”
Gu Lingsha smiled and nodded.
