Sister Hua smiled knowingly. Seeing that the drizzle had stopped, she stroked her hair and pretended to be reserved as she said, "It's getting late. Let's lead the way. The earlier we talk, the earlier we can go home and rest."
"Okay, this way, please!"
Zhang Youcai knew that he had a chance today, so he was overjoyed. He imitated a gentleman's gesture and led the way in front of her happily. He even turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone to show her the way.
"Song Ziyi, Song Ziyi, since you ruthlessly cut off my source of wealth, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Looking at Zhang Youcai's attentive look, Sister Hua hesitated for a moment, but then her expression became firm. She muttered to herself with resentment in her eyes.
She needed money so much that professional ethics were no longer in her consideration. She stared greedily at Zhang Youcai's interview bag and secretly guessed how much he could pay her.
If he paid her more, she would tell him more. But if he didn't satisfy her, she wouldn't tell him everything. She could still control her limits.
In the entertainment circle, there were precedents of journalists bribing people around the stars to get some secret information about them. It was not uncommon. But as an agent who relied on the stars to make a living, it was extremely rare for her to betray her employer. Once the news got out, she would lose her reputation and could no longer stay in the agent circle.
But Sister Hua was in urgent need of money now. What's more, she hated Song Ziyi's ruthlessness. She thought that Song Ziyi brought all this upon herself. She forced her to betray Zhang Youcai, so she was waiting for the best offer. She wanted to see what kind of bargaining chip Zhang Youcai would offer and what kind of information he would tell her.
Of course, the most important thing was that she was confident that she wouldn't be blackmailed. After all, there were so many people in the pavilion in the air at that time. It was impossible to keep these secrets. She just took advantage of the time difference to make some extra money.
Although the rain had stopped, the sky was still misty and filled with darkness everywhere. Only the streetlights on the street stretched the shadows of the two people, one in the front and the other in the back …
"Now can you tell me what happened?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Song Ziyi had no time to care about the luxurious enjoyment of a Phaeton, which looked like a Passat but was actually a Phaeton. Looking at Ding Ning's side face, Song Ziyi asked impatiently.
Ding Ning glanced at her and answered unhurriedly, "It's a little complicated, but it's not very complicated. In short, the kidnapper who kidnapped you today and wanted to harm you is actually an acquaintance of yours."
"Who?"
Song Zi Yi's eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat. She had always been kind to others and rarely put on airs like a superstar. The number of people she had offended could be counted on one hand. If there was really one person who hated her to the bone, that person had to be Kang Xiangyang. However, she couldn't believe it. After all, he was the dignified chairman of Star Art. No matter how much he hated her, he couldn't possibly do it himself. That was too unreasonable.
"Kang Xiangyang."
Ding Ning couldn't help glancing at her and sighed in his heart. Speaking of which, Kang Xiangyang's biggest enemy should be Ning Ding, but that identity was just a fabrication. Since Kang Xiangyang couldn't find Ning Ding, he would naturally vent all his hatred on Song Zi Yi.
Previously, he didn't understand why Kang Xiangyang didn't kill Song Zi Yi immediately after kidnapping her. At this moment, he suddenly understood that Kang Xiangyang wanted Song Zi Yi alive because he wanted to interrogate her about the whereabouts of "Ning Ding" and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
This made him secretly scared. Fortunately, Kang Xiangyang still had such a crazy purpose. Otherwise, Song Zi Yi would have become a cold corpse at this moment.
"This is impossible. He is the chairman of Star Art. No matter how much he hates me, he won't take the risk to do it himself. He has money and can hire servants …"
Song Zi Yi shook her head repeatedly. Although she subconsciously believed that Ding Ning would not lie to her, based on her understanding of Kang Xiangyang for so many years, she knew that the suspicious and insidious guy would not easily put himself in danger.
"Nothing is impossible. This is the truth," Ding Ning interrupted her and explained to her softly.
"It seems that you didn't pay attention to him after you left Star Art. His wife and daughter cheated him of all his assets and shares, and then he was kicked out of the house. Now, he is no longer the chairman of Star Art. If his wife hadn't given him a sum of money for his retirement, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the capital to hire a servant to kidnap your brother …"
As Ding Ning spoke, the expression on Song Ziyi's face became extremely interesting. She never imagined that Kang Xiangyang would end up in such a pitiful state after she left Star Art.
His son, Kang Hua, was sentenced to life imprisonment. His wife and daughter cheated him of all his money and kicked him out of the house. Then, he was betrayed by his mistress, Chen Meilin. It wasn't hard to understand why Kang Xiangyang, who had nothing left, would do such a crazy thing.
"He is a pitiful person."
Song Zi Yi said faintly.
Ding Ning frowned slightly. He didn't think that Kang Xiangyang was pitiful. If Song Zi Yi was still sympathizing with him now, then she was a good person who couldn't tell right from wrong.
"But a pitiful person must have something hateful about him. If he didn't spoil Kang Hua without any bottom line, he wouldn't have spoiled Kang Hua to the point of being lawless and making such a big mistake in the end. He wouldn't have disappointed his wife and daughter, who cheated him of all his property and kicked him out of the house. That's how he got to where he is today."
Song Zi Yi's tone changed, which made Ding Ning feel much better. This girl could distinguish between kindness and hatred and knew right from wrong.
"Actually, I've met his wife before. She's a very honest and dutiful woman. She followed Kang Xiangyang when he still had nothing. All these years, she's suffered a lot. If it weren't for her silent support, Xing Yi wouldn't be where it is today. Men are always ungrateful creatures."
Song Zi Yi said emotionally, "When I was still in Star Art, I heard people gossiping that Kang Xiangyang used to be very good to his wife and never despised her for only having two daughters. But after Star Art grew, Kang Xiangyang changed. He despised his wife for not giving him a son, so he bossed her around and scolded her if he didn't beat her. He started to have other women outside. When Kang Hua was young, he was more restrained. But when Kang Hua grew up, plus he had a car accident and lost … lost his fertility, he became more and more aggressive. He even said in public many times that he would leave all his property to Kang Hua and that his daughters were outsiders."
Song Zi Yi smiled bitterly and murmured absentmindedly, "When his wife and daughter heard these words, you can imagine how they felt. So it's not surprising that they cheated Kang Xiangyang of all his property and kicked him out of the house."
Although he had known Kang Xiangyang's past for a long time, he really didn't know the specific details. Although Song Zi Yi looked calm on the surface, she must be very sad in her heart.
After all, she was raised by Kang Xiangyang. Although there were factors such as her own hard work and innate talent, it was a kindness to her. She had always been a very grateful woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had no regrets for so many years, even though she was a pop queen, she only received the salary of a first-rate or second-rate pop star.
Even he had to admit that if it weren't for Kang Xiangyang, there would be no Song Zi Yi today. It was he who saw her potential in the vast sea of people and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to raise her to the position of the pop queen in the music world.
But kindness was kindness, and resentment was resentment. If it weren't for Kang Xiangyang's suspicion and pampering of Kang Hua, the host and the guest wouldn't have come to the point where they were as incompatible as fire and water today.
Song Zi Yi was not so much reminiscing as trying to untie the knot in her heart. The more bad things Kang Xiangyang did, the less self-blame and guilt she felt in her heart.
This poor and lovely kind woman!
Ding Ning looked at Song Ziyi, who was muttering to herself, with a doting and loving gaze. Unexpectedly, he met her slightly dim eyes as she turned her head sideways.
Song Zi Yi trembled all over, and her absent-minded eyes suddenly became bright. She looked at Ding Ning without blinking. That look … was so familiar!
A feeling like an electric shock made Ding Ning avoid her eyes in a panic, and his heart unexpectedly beat wildly. He looked straight ahead and pretended to be focused on driving, but out of the corner of his eye, he could find that she was staring at him without blinking.
Was it him? Impossible, they didn't look like each other at all, and even their heights were different. They couldn't be the same person.
But why was his face, figure, and even the look in his eyes so similar? Especially that look just now, it was exactly the same as the look in Ning Ding's eyes when he looked at her.
Song Zi Yi's mind was in a mess, and her mind was in a mess. The unforgettable figure in her memory kept overlapping and merging with Ding Ning, but it also seemed to be somewhat incompatible.
Impossible, she must be thinking too much. Ning Ding was so perfect, unlike this playboy who went around flirting. They couldn't be the same person.
Soon, Song Zi Yi resolutely rejected this unimaginable idea, withdrew her eyes, and thought with some disdain.
But when she thought of Ning Ding, who had not been heard from for a long time, she felt inexplicably disappointed again. She bit her red lips and was absent-minded. He should have known that she signed a contract with the Heavenly Palace and came to Ninghai, but why didn't he come to find her?
Did he really not care about her at all? No, it was impossible. Although she had never been in love, she could see from his eyes that he absolutely liked her.
But he obviously liked her, so why did he always hide from her? He must have been delayed by something. Yes, it must be so. Song Zi Yi, you have to be patient and wait a little longer. He will definitely come to find you.
Song Zi Yi's starry eyes were blurred, and her cheeks were pink. She fell into self-comfort, weaving thousands of forgivable reasons why "Ning Ding" did not come to find her.
No matter men or women, as long as they fell in love, they would subconsciously idealize and beautify the person they liked, but they would never think about whether the other person also liked them.
Noticing that her eyes were finally not on him, Ding Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He did not know what he was afraid of. Perhaps, he hoped to make Song Zi Yi fall in love with his real identity, instead of the illusory fictional Ning Ding. Therefore, he subconsciously did not want to expose the fact that he was Ning Ding.
"By the way, I'm sorry to tell you that the person who tampered with the wire and wanted to hurt you was someone else, not Kang Xiangyang."
Sensing the oppressive silence in the carriage, Ding Ning tried to find something to talk about.
Song Zi Yi's reverie was interrupted, but she did not hear clearly what he said. She raised her head blankly and looked at him. "What did you say?"
"I said, the person who tampered with the wire and wanted to hurt you was not Kang Xiangyang, but someone else."
Seeing her blurred eyes and absent-minded look, Ding Ning knew that she must be thinking about Ning Ding again. Suddenly, an unspeakable jealousy rose in his heart and he shouted angrily.
