After I died, they cried in the live studio

Chapter 139 Choice
At the award ceremony, Saixi stood on the podium in a gorgeous dress, holding the trophy in her hand, and the flash lights below the stage kept flashing. Her face was filled with the joy of victory, and she didn't realize that she was being used by Sang Jiuyue. She thought she really saw through Nancy's "conspiracy" and saved her own opportunity.

Sang Jiuyue stood in the audience, looking at Saixi with a barely perceptible sneer on her face. She knew that Saixi was just a pawn in her hand, and in the future, she would use Saixi to achieve more ulterior purposes.

In the huge studio in the film and television city, the hot lights illuminated the entire scene as bright as day. Sang Shuwan was wearing a gorgeous and complicated ancient costume, and every embroidery was exquisite, gleaming under the lights. She had delicate makeup and was fully immersed in the filming. At this moment, the character she played was at a critical moment of emotional outburst, and everything around her seemed to have been forgotten by her.

The director stood behind the monitor, his eyes fixed on the screen, shouting out instructions from time to time. The staff on the scene were busy and orderly, doing their own jobs. It was so quiet that only the director's instructions and the occasional slight collision of props could be heard. Just as Sang Shuwan was about to complete this difficult performance, assistant Xiao Li trotted all the way, looking panicked and squeezed in from the edge of the set. His footsteps were hurried, bringing up a slight breeze. He carefully leaned into Sang Shuwan's ear and whispered a few words. His voice was as small as a mosquito, but it was like a heavy bomb, instantly breaking Sang Shuwan's concentration.

In an instant, the expression on Sang Shuwan's face that was originally immersed in the role disappeared without a trace, replaced by worry and anxiety that were difficult to conceal. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and realized the urgency of the matter.

"Director, I'm so sorry! Something urgent happened here, I have to leave right away." Sang Shuwan's face was filled with guilt, her voice trembling slightly, she walked quickly to the director, bowed slightly, her tone full of apology. She knew very well that if she asked to leave at this moment, it would have a significant impact on the progress of the entire filming, but when she thought of the difficulties that Saixi might face, she couldn't care less.

The director was staring at the monitor intently, not even having time to move his eyes away from the screen. After hearing what Sang Shuwan said, he frowned unhappily, and the impatience on his face was clearly visible. He slowly raised his head and shot his eyes over his glasses at Sang Shuwan. He was about to get angry, but when he saw Sang Shuwan's anxious expression, the rebuke on his lips was swallowed back. The director sighed helplessly and waved his hand: "Okay, go and come back quickly, the filming can't be delayed. Today's scene is very critical, and everyone's time is very tight. You should finish it as soon as possible and come back."

Sang Shuwan hurriedly bowed to the staff around her to apologize, and every movement revealed her apology and uneasiness. She hurriedly walked towards the nanny car parked outside the film and television city, and her high heels made a crisp sound on the ground, as if beating a tense rhythm. The hustle and bustle of the set was gradually left behind by her. She had only one thought in her mind: to understand the whole picture as soon as possible and go to help Saixi.

As soon as she got in the car and the door closed, Sang Shuwan turned around abruptly and said to the assistant anxiously, "Hurry up, tell me again in detail what happened? You spoke too hastily before, and there are still many things I don't understand." She stared at the assistant, as if she wanted to find the answer from his face.

Assistant Xiao Li was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, and his face still had the tension that had not subsided. He calmed himself down and repeated the whole story again: "Sister Sang, I heard that Saixi was fooled by Sang Jiuyue. Sang Jiuyue told her that she and Nancy were half-sisters, and that Nancy had a close relationship with her old enemy, which would be bad for Saixi and make Saixi stay away from Nancy. But I heard that Nancy is a good person and has no bad intentions at all. It is obvious that Sang Jiuyue is playing tricks."

After listening to this, Sang Shuwan's face became more solemn. She stared at the street scene passing by quickly outside the window, thinking to herself: "There must be something fishy about this. Saixi is too naive and has no defenses in the entertainment industry. I have to help her. Sang Jiuyue must have a deeper purpose behind doing this. I can't let Saixi fall into the trap she carefully designed." She knew very well how complicated and dangerous the entertainment industry was. If she was not careful, she would fall into an irretrievable situation. Saixi's simple character made it easy for others to take advantage of her in this circle.

The car soon arrived at Saixi's residence. Sang Shuwan pushed open the car door and walked quickly towards the apartment building. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was rapid and powerful. She came to the door of Saixi's house and raised her hand to knock on the door. Her voice was crisp and urgent: "Saixi, it's me, Sang Shuwan, open the door."

After a while, the door slowly opened and Saixi stood at the door with a puzzled look on her face: "Sister Shuwan, why are you here? What happened?"

Sang Shuwan didn't bother to say hello and walked straight into the house. He turned around and looked at Saixi and said seriously, "Saixie, I heard what Sang Jiuyue told you. Don't be impulsive. I think there is something wrong here. Sang Jiuyue may be lying to you."

Saixi frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she retorted firmly: "Sister Shuwan, you don't understand the situation. Sister Jiyue has always taken good care of me, she won't lie to me. Nancy is so close to her old enemy, how can I not be on guard? They may be planning to harm me."

Sang Shuwan patiently explained, "Xixi, I know you trust her, but I have had someone check it out. Nancy really has no bad intentions. Sang Jiuyue might be trying to sow discord between you and Nancy for her own benefit."

After hearing this, Saixi was not shaken but became even more excited: "Sister Shuwan, please stop talking. Sister Jiyue has secured so many resources for me and has always encouraged me when I was at my lowest point. I don't believe she would harm me. You must have been misled by others."

Seeing Saixi so determined, Sang Shuwan felt helpless, but still didn't want to give up: "Saixi, I'm really worried that you'll be taken advantage of. Think about it carefully and think of it as something for your own future."

Saixi turned her head away, her tone a little stiff: "Sister Shuwan, thank you for your concern, but I know what's going on in this matter, and I believe in Sister Jiyue."

Seeing that Saixi was determined, Sang Shuwan could not force her and could only leave for the time being. Back in the car, she frowned and thought about her next plan. She decided to start by investigating the past grievances between Sang Jiuyue and Nancy to see if she could find Sang Jiuyue's motives and more evidence for framing Saixi.

In the following days, Sang Shuwan rushed around and used her connections to inquire about Sang Jiuyue and Nancy. She found out that Sang Jiuyue and Nancy had indeed had a fierce competition over an important project a few years ago, and Sang Jiuyue lost to Nancy at the time, and she had been brooding over it ever since.

Sang Shuwan took the investigation results and found Saixi again. When Saixi saw the information, she was shaken for a moment, but soon her trust in Sang Jiuyue prevailed.

"Sister Shuwan, these might have been deliberately forged by someone to discredit Sister Jiyue. Please don't investigate anymore. I don't want to create a rift between me and Sister Jiyue because of these things." Saixi pushed the information back to Sang Shuwan, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Sang Shuwan looked at Saixi and said earnestly, "Saisi, I just hope you can see the truth and not be deceived. I won't give up. I believe one day you will understand my painstaking efforts."

Although Saixi still didn't believe Sang Shuwan's words, Sang Shuwan was not discouraged. She secretly vowed that no matter how difficult it was, she would continue to look for evidence to let Saixi see Sang Jiuyue's true face, even if the process would be long and difficult.

As night fell, the city was enveloped in thick darkness, with only the street lamps emitting a dim halo, like dim stars. Sang Shuwan sat in the car, the silence around her broken by the slight sound of the car engine. Her fingers tapped the steering wheel from time to time, her eyes solemn and worried. The investigation materials in her hand were slightly wrinkled by her grip, and the orange street lights shone through the car window onto her tired face, outlining the deep weariness on her face.

These days, Sang Shuwan seemed to be in an endless marathon, running around and using the connections she had accumulated in the entertainment industry for many years, just to dig out the hard evidence that Sang Jiuyue was plotting against Saixi. Every night, she sorted out the clues she had collected and reviewed the possible truth in her mind countless times, but every time she faced Saixi's stubbornness, her efforts were like hitting cotton, with no effect.

She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and involuntarily recalled the image of Saixi when she first entered the entertainment industry. At that time, Saixi's eyes were full of pure light, full of longing and expectation for the future, like a fledgling bird eager to fly in the sky. Sang Shuwan still remembered that he had encouraged Saixi when she was most confused. The time they spent together seemed like yesterday, but now, due to Sang Jiuyue's intervention, it has become so strange and distant.

Taking a deep breath, Sang Shuwan mustered up his courage again, and with trembling fingers, he dialed Saixi's number. Saixi's impatient voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sister Shuwan, what's the matter again? Didn't I tell you not to interfere in the affairs between me and Sister Jiyue?" Sang Shuwan tried to keep his tone gentle, with a barely perceptible pleading in his voice: "Saixie, I really have an important discovery, just give me a chance, let's meet, and make a decision after listening to me, okay?" There was silence on the phone for a long time, and that short silence seemed to be extremely long. Just when Sang Shuwan thought Saixi was going to refuse, Saixi said coldly: "Okay, just this once, see you at my company at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

The next day, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on every corner of the city. Sang Shuwan arrived at Saixi's company early. She was wearing a simple black dress and a beige windbreaker. Her hair was casually tied behind her head, but she could not hide the anxiety in her eyes. She sat on the sofa in the hall, her fingers tapping on her knees unconsciously, her eyes kept looking at the door of the company, waiting for Saixi to appear. The coming and going of people around her seemed to have nothing to do with her. At this moment, her world only had the upcoming conversation.

Finally, Ceci showed up. She was wearing a smart business suit, a slim-fitting suit jacket, a knee-length black skirt, and a pair of black high heels. Every step she took made a crisp sound. However, her face was full of displeasure, her brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of resistance in her eyes.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Saixi stood in front of Sang Shuwan, crossed her arms, spoke coldly, and her eyes revealed obvious impatience. Sang Shuwan quickly stood up and handed over a stack of information, his movements a little anxious: "Saixi, take a look, this is my latest investigation, Sang Jiuyue..."

Saixi did not take the information, but glanced at it, then looked away and interrupted her coldly: "Sister Shuwan, I see you are really idle. Who knows if these so-called evidences are specially made by you to discredit Sister Jiyue." Sang Shuwan's hand froze in mid-air, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face, her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to explain, but was interrupted again by Saixi.

"Sister Shuwan, what do you want to do again and again? Do you have to break up the relationship between me and Sister Jiyue? I've said it countless times, I believe her, what else do you want? If you weren't a big star, would I tell you so much?" Saixi's voice gradually got louder, and the people around her cast curious glances at her, but quickly looked away at her cold eyes.

Sang Shuwan's eyes flashed with hurt. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Xixi, I'm really doing this for your own good. You can't let her blind you." Xixi sneered: "For my own good? Isn't it enough that you interfere in the matter between me and Nancy? This is our family's responsibility, you don't have to interfere! I really can't stand your unreasonable behavior. Come on, get me out!"

Following Saixi's order, two security guards came over quickly. They stood beside Sang Shuwan and politely but firmly gestured for her to leave. Sang Shuwan looked at Saixi's resolute eyes, and despair surged in her heart. She opened her mouth, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't say anything.

She slowly put down the documents in her hand and walked towards the door with heavy steps. Every step was like dragging a heavy burden, and her heart was filled with reluctance and helplessness. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back. Saixi had already turned around and left, leaving her with only an indifferent back.

Sang Shuwan walked out of the company building. The sun was still shining brightly, but she could not feel a trace of warmth. She walked aimlessly on the street, and the words Saixi said kept echoing in her mind. The hustle and bustle around her seemed to become the background sound, and her world fell into silence.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Sang Shuwan arrived at a park. She sat on a bench in the park, looking at the sparkling lake in front of her, but her heart was still in turmoil. She began to reflect on her actions, was she really too eager? Should she change the way she communicated with Saixi?
At this moment, Sang Shuwan's cell phone suddenly rang. She took out her cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, she answered the call. A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is this Miss Sang Shuwan? I am private detective Li Ming. You entrusted me to investigate Sang Jiuyue's case before, and I have made a new discovery." Sang Shuwan's eyes lit up instantly, she sat up straight, and said eagerly: "Tell me quickly, what did you find?"

Li Ming cleared his throat and said, "I found out that Sang Jiuyue has close cooperation with a business group. This group has always wanted to suppress Nancy's family business. Saixi is Nancy's half-sister. Sang Jiuyue used Saixi to deal with Nancy through her, and then achieve the purpose of suppressing Nancy's family business." Sang Shuwan clenched his phone, feeling angry and relieved. He was angry at Sang Jiuyue's insidiousness and cunningness, but relieved that he finally found more powerful evidence.

"Can you sort out the evidence and send it to me? The more detailed the better." Sang Shuwan said. Li Ming agreed and said he would sort out the information and send it to her as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Sang Shuwan felt a glimmer of hope. She decided to give Saixi another chance, and this time, she must let her see Sang Jiuyue's true face. She silently thought about how to communicate with Saixi again and how to make her believe in herself.

Sang Shuwan sat on the bench in the park for a long time, until the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red. She stood up, dusted herself off, took a deep breath, and walked towards the direction of Saixi Company. She knew that this time the communication would be more difficult, but for Saixi, she was willing to go all out.

When Sang Shuwan came to Saixi Company again, it was getting dark. The security guard at the company gate saw her and immediately became alert. Sang Shuwan stepped forward and said politely: "Please help me inform Saixi, I have something very important to tell her, this time, it is about her future." The security guard hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the intercom.

After a while, the security guard said to Sang Shuwan, "Miss Saixi said she is very busy and has no time to see you." Sang Shuwan's heart sank, but she did not give up. She took out a pen and paper from her bag and wrote a paragraph: "Saisi, I know you don't believe me, but this time, I really found key evidence that concerns your and Nancy's future and the fate of your family business. I will wait for you at the door of the company, no matter how long it takes, I will not leave."

Sang Shuwan handed the note to the security guard, begging him to pass it on to Saixi. Then, she sat down on the steps in front of the company and waited quietly. Time passed by, the sky became darker, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around, but Sang Shuwan still sat there, with a firm look in her eyes, and she had no intention of backing down.

Finally, the company's door opened again, and Saixi came out. She held the note written by Sang Shuwan in her hand, with a complicated expression on her face. She walked up to Sang Shuwan, was silent for a moment, and said, "Come with me."

Sang Shuwan was delighted, and quickly stood up and followed Saixi into the company. This time, whether she could successfully convince Saixi to see Sang Jiuyue's true face was still unknown, but Sang Shuwan knew that this was her last chance and she had to go all out.

The night was like ink, slowly splashing in every corner of the city. The lights were turned on, like stars falling into the world. The building of CESI stood beside the bustling street, and the glass curtain wall reflected the colorful neon lights, which looked particularly magnificent. People came and went at the door, and the sounds of footsteps and conversations intertwined, forming a noisy sound of the city.

Sang Shuwan stood quietly at the door of the company, her posture straight, but her slightly drooping shoulders and tired face revealed her running around and fatigue in recent days. Her eyes were fixed on the door of the company, as if she was waiting for something important, with a hint of anxiety and firm persistence in her eyes. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed back and forth on the bag, which contained the evidence she had collected with great difficulty. These evidences carried her persistence in the truth and were full of her concern for Saixi.

After a while, the revolving door of the company slowly turned, and Saixi strode out. She was wearing a slim black dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, and the high heels on her feet collided with the ground, making a crisp and rhythmic sound. Every step she took showed the confidence and competence of a workplace elite. However, her face was full of impatience, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was a hint of boredom in her eyes. She walked straight towards Sang Shuwan. "What do you want?" Saixi stood in front of Sang Shuwan, her hands folded across her chest, her tone as cold as frost on a cold night. She raised her chin slightly, and looked at Sang Shuwan from top to bottom, as if she was examining an uninvited guest.

Seeing this, Sang Shuwan hurriedly stepped forward and said with an anxious look on her face: "Xixi, I really found the key evidence. Sang Jiuyue is really using you. This is all her conspiracy." As she spoke, she quickly reached into her bag, trying to take out the information that could reveal the truth.

However, Saixi seemed to have expected this. Before Sang Shuwan's hand was completely pulled out of the bag, she sneered and interrupted her directly: "Enough, Sang Shuwan, you come to pester me again and again, don't you just want money?" Her words were full of sarcasm, like a sharp knife, stabbing straight at Sang Shuwan.

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a checkbook and pen from her exquisite brand-name bag, and quickly wrote down a string of numbers. Then, she slapped the check onto the low table next to her. The check trembled slightly in the wind, as if it was also trembling with the tense atmosphere.

"Tell me, how much do you want? Although I'm just a model, my family has many businesses and a lot of wealth. Even if you ask for too much, I can afford it." Saisi raised her chin, her eyes full of disdain, "Stop doing these disgusting things under the guise of doing good for me. Do you think I can't see through your tricks?"

Sang Shuwan was stunned for a moment, and her hand in her bag seemed to be frozen, standing there without moving. Her face turned pale and red, as if she had been slapped hard. Her eyes were wide open, full of disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that these words came from Saixi's mouth.

"Xixi, how could you think of me like this? I'm really doing this for you..." Sang Shuwan's voice was trembling, which was the grievance and helplessness after being misunderstood. She tried to explain again, hoping that Xixi could believe her.

"For me?" Saixi interrupted her again mercilessly, her voice suddenly rising, her sharp tone full of sarcasm, "Stop being hypocritical. Aren't you just relying on your acquaintance with Nancy to show off in front of me and to sow discord between me and Sister Jiyue? I tell you, no way!" Her voice was particularly harsh in the noisy street, attracting curious glances from passers-by.

Sang Shuwan's lips trembled, and she wanted to defend herself, but her throat seemed to be blocked by a big stone, and she couldn't say anything. The words she wanted to say were forcibly choked back by Saixi's accusations. The curious looks from the passers-by around her were like dazzling lights, making her feel extremely embarrassed, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"I am so disappointed in you, Saixi." Sang Shuwan's voice trembled, and it was a kind of disappointment and helplessness from the bottom of her heart. She looked at Saixi deeply, and this look was full of her nostalgia for the friendship in the past, and also her helplessness in the current situation. Then, she turned around and walked away quickly, her steps hurried and flustered.

The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was rapid and heavy, and every step seemed to vent her anger and helplessness. Her back was stretched out under the light, and she looked particularly lonely and desolate. At that moment, she felt that she was out of tune with this bustling city, and was full of fatigue and loss.

Saixi looked at her leaving back and snorted with disdain, the disgust on her face becoming more and more obvious. At this time, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness. It was Sang Jiuyue. She had a satisfied smile on her face, and there was a subtle sense of pride in that smile, like a cunning fox.

"Xixi, you did a great job. You have to let her know and don't try to come between us. No one else can destroy the trust between us." Sang Jiuyue walked to Xixi, patted her shoulder gently, her tone full of praise.

Saixi looked at Sang Jiuyue with a smile, her eyes full of trust and dependence: "Sister Jiuyue, I definitely believe you, and no one can instigate me in the future." At this moment, she was completely unaware that she had been deceived by Sang Jiuyue's lies, and was still immersed in self-righteous "trust."

Sang Jiuyue patted her shoulder, raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a meaningful smile: "Yes, let's do it together and see who can make trouble again." The two smiled at each other, and their elongated shadows under the light seemed a little weird, as if indicating that this dispute was far from over.

After leaving Ceci's company, Sang Shuwan was filled with frustration and loss, and her steps were particularly heavy. The neon lights of the city were still flashing, but they had lost their color in her eyes, and the hustle and bustle of the streets had become a disturbing noise. She raised her hand to hail a taxi, got in the car, leaned back in the chair tiredly, and murmured to the driver: "Go to Nancy's house." The car started slowly, passing through the busy traffic. Sang Shuwan looked at the street scene passing by quickly outside the window, but her thoughts drifted back to the past with Ceci, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Soon, the taxi stopped downstairs of Nancy's house. Sang Shuwan paid the fare and walked upstairs with heavy steps. When she arrived at Nancy's door, she raised her hand and knocked on the door, but no one answered. She felt a little uneasy and quickly took out the spare key to open the door.

The room was filled with a faint aroma of red wine. Under the dim light, Nancy was lazily lying on the sofa, holding a half-glass of red wine in her hand, her eyes slightly closed, as if she had fallen asleep. Sang Shuwan approached gently, and when he saw Nancy's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, then called softly, "Nancy, Nancy."

Nancy slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was Sang Shuwan. She forced a faint smile and said lazily, "You're back."

Sang Shuwan sat down on a chair next to the sofa, frowned slightly, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? I knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response. I thought something had happened."

Nancy sat up, put the wine glass on the coffee table, stretched, and said, "It's okay. You must be a little surprised. You must think that I am like this because I lost the opportunity to compete for the endorsement. In fact, this is just my daily way of relaxing. Oh, the pressure is too great recently. The work is overwhelming. I am just relaxing."

After hearing this, Sang Shuwan's worry gradually faded away, and her expression became brighter. She said, "So that's how it is. I thought you still cared about Saixi."

Nancy shook her head slightly and said with a wry smile, "Oh, why do you think so? I helped Saixi and wanted to keep her away from Sang Jiuyue, just because I thought she was innocent. But, have you forgotten? My relationship with her was not good. Her mother often bullied my mother in our family. In fact, we even had a grudge against each other. But I just thought that she didn't bully me much when she was a child, so I wanted to help her. But since she wants to be with Sang Jiuyue so much, let her be. Everyone has their own aspirations. This has nothing to do with us. Follow the principles and don't look for her anymore. Thank you, Shuwan, for running around for me."

Sang Shuwan looked at Nancy, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. She reached out and gently patted Nancy's shoulder, saying, "Don't say that. I don't want to see you being wronged, and I don't want Saixi to be used by Sang Jiuyue. I just didn't expect Saixi to be so stubborn and not willing to believe me at all."

Nancy leaned on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and said softly: "She has been protected too well since she was a child, her mind is pure, and she has known Sang Jiuyue for a long time, so naturally she is more willing to believe her. Why should we force it, just let her go."

Sang Shuwan sighed helplessly and said, "I just can't bear to watch Sang Jiuyue's conspiracy succeed. She is so abominable that she would do anything to benefit herself."

Nancy sat up straight, looked at Sang Shuwan seriously, and said, "Shuwan, I know you are doing this for justice and to help me. But some things cannot be changed by our efforts. We have tried our best, haven't we?"

In the dreamy light of Paris, a trend-setting fashion show is opening. The T stage is surrounded by bright lights, as if paved with the Milky Way. The models walk gracefully and confidently, and every step they take is the strongest note of fashion, attracting the audience's attention and flashes of light.

As a highly anticipated model, Ceci appeared in a simple yet high-end black dress. The smooth cut of the dress fits her body shape, showing her graceful demeanor in every move. The silver accessories on the neckline are like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky, cool and charming. She tied her hair up high, and a few strands of hair fell on her fair neck, making her face more delicate. Her eyes are like a deep pool, full of enthusiasm for fashion, staring at the catwalk intently.

Sang Jiuyue sat next to Saixi. Although she had retired to the background, her unique temperament as a star was still with her. She had neat short hair and wore a well-tailored white suit. The slim fit highlighted her slender waist, and the shoulder pad design added a bit of heroism. The black lace shirt underneath was faintly visible, adding a touch of charm to her. She gently shook the champagne in her hand, shifted her gaze from the catwalk to Saixi, and said softly with a slight smile on her lips: "This season's design has some highlights, but compared with the Milan show, it seems to lack some surprises that will make people applaud." Her voice was crisp and a little lazy.

Saixi nodded slightly with a gentle smile on her face, and replied: "Yes, but the designer's intentions can still be seen in the details. Just like the embroidery on that dress, the needlework is delicate, and every stitch is full of ingenuity. By the way, Jiyue, you said last time that Sang Shuwan was looking for you, what happened?" As she spoke, she slightly turned sideways, looked at Sang Jiyue with concern, and gently placed her right hand on the other's arm.

When Sang Jiuyue heard Sang Shuwan's name, her expression instantly became a little complicated. She gently put down the wine glass, and after a moment of silence, she said, "She came to me and told me something about you, but... it may not be what you think." She frowned slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Saixi looked puzzled and asked, "What did she say about me? I don't have much interaction with her, so I can't imagine what she would say about me."

Sang Jiuyue took a deep breath and said slowly: "She told me that someone in the team you recently worked with tampered with the data, which might affect your reputation. She also reminded me to be careful. I was quite surprised at the time. After all, she and I were competitors in the entertainment industry before, and we had always been fighting openly and secretly. I didn't expect her to come and tell me this."

After hearing this, Saixi was surprised: "Ah? Really? I didn't notice it at all. If she knew, why didn't she tell me directly?"

Sang Jiuyue shook her head: "I asked her too, and she said she was afraid that if she told you directly you would think she had ulterior motives, so she came to me first. I was skeptical at first, but seeing how devoted you were to the show today, I felt that I had to tell you about it."

Saixi lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said seriously: "Jiyue, thank you for telling me. Regardless of whether what she said is true or not, I am very grateful that you shared it with me. I believe you, and I also believe that since Sang Shuwan chose to tell you, it must be out of good intentions."

Sang Jiuyue looked at Saixi with relief in her eyes: "It's good that you think so. In fact, through this incident, I also feel that my previous view of her may have been a bit one-sided. Perhaps we should all let go of our past prejudices."

At this time, the model on the catwalk walked slowly over wearing a dress inspired by the universe. The crystals inlaid on the dress twinkled like stars, and it embodied the vastness of the entire universe, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Saisi and Sang Jiuyue also stopped talking temporarily, immersed in this ultimate fashion beauty.

After the fashion show ended successfully, Saixi and Sang Jiyue followed the crowd out of the show. The night in Paris was very lively, and the streets were filled with romance. The two were walking on the street, and Saixi suddenly said: "Jiyue, when we get back, let's find a chance to have a good chat with Sang Shuwan. I want to thank her in person."

Sang Jiuyue smiled and nodded: "Okay, maybe this time, we can untie the knot that has been in our hearts for so many years."

The two smiled at each other and continued walking forward. The light stretched their shadows very long, as if telling a story about friendship and reconciliation.

Fashion in Paris

Paris is a city favored by fashion and art. The Eiffel Tower rises high into the sky, shining with metallic luster under the caress of the sun. The Seine River flows slowly, like a flexible ribbon, winding through the heart of the city. There are many cruise ships on the river, full of tourists' yearning for this romantic city. Walking along the river bank and stepping into a quiet street, Yi Shuqi's fashion design studio is hidden in it.

The studio's exterior is simple yet stylish, with huge French windows that seem to lead to the world of fashion, displaying the most creative designs in the store. Soft light shines through the glass, like a dreamy tulle, falling on the stone pavement on the street. An exquisite wooden sign hangs at the door, with Yi Shuqi's name engraved in elegant French, and every stroke seems to be telling the unique status and glorious history of this store in the fashion circle.

On this day, the sun gently penetrated through the thin curtains, like golden silk threads, and sprinkled in every corner of the studio. Sang Shuwan, a big star with great influence internationally, walked into the store with elegant steps. She wore a pair of oversized sunglasses, the lenses reflecting the light of fashion and mystery. Her signature big wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and the ends of her hair were slightly curled, swaying gently with her movements, just like a lively musical note. She wore a simple but fashionable white dress. The hem of the dress was made of light chiffon material. As she walked, it rose and fell gently like the waves, just like a lily blooming in summer, fresh and refined.

"Shu Qi, long time no see!" Sang Shuwan took off his sunglasses and showed a bright smile. That smile was like the warm spring sun, instantly lighting up the entire space. He quickly walked towards Yi Shuqi who was busy.

Yi Shuqi turned around, a surprised smile on her face. Her eyes instantly lit up like stars and she opened her arms to greet him: "Shu Wan, you're finally here! Come and sit down." She was wearing a black overalls with a red belt around her waist. She exuded the uninhibited and free and easy temperament unique to an artist.
