Chapter 161: It’s Not in My Nature



Chapter 161

Rong Dai naturally drank the warm water he handed over, her gaze fixed seriously on the video.

The video was very clear. Judging from the angle, it should have been filmed by someone attending the banquet.

She thought back to the seating arrangement at the banquet, and Qiao Wanzhou\'s figure appeared in her mind.

She shook her head, "Let the netizens scold enough for now. Refuting it too quickly will likely lead to accusations of scheming."

She had always lived by the principle of not bothering others if they didn\'t bother her.

If it hadn\'t been for Yang Wanwan coming to find trouble, she wouldn\'t have made things difficult for the other party either.

But since Yang Wanwan liked to play this way, she would just have to accompany her to the end.

What\'s more, Yang Wanwan had a huge number of fans, most of whom were loyal to her looks, commonly known as "sycophants".

These blindly doting fans could be extremely terrifying when riled up.

She was well aware of the damage words could do.

Everything from her past life was too deeply etched into her heart.

Huo Shao Ting looked at her approvingly and stole another kiss on her forehead, "My wife is so clever."

Rong Dai was instantly annoyed and rolled her eyes at him. She felt like he was actually praising his own good judgement.

She continued browsing through the messages on Weibo. In just three short hours, she had already been cursed to high heaven on the hot search topics by Yang Wanwan\'s fans.

Under every post she made, there were countless unsightly profanities that she couldn\'t even count.

Seeing these dirty words, Rong Dai\'s heart remained calm.

Fortunately, she had the memories and experiences from her past life, which had already honed an extremely resilient spirit and heart.

Otherwise, any other new actress in her shoes seeing these messages would surely be angered to despair.

She was clearly the injured party, yet she was the one under attack.

Human nature was indeed fickle and sinister.

"You\'re not bothered by this?"

Although Huo Shao Ting was not involved in the entertainment industry, he had made an effort to understand some things for his wife\'s sake.

Even though he wasn\'t a big shot in this circle, the Huo Corporation had entertainment companies under its umbrella. Getting to know the rules here wasn\'t too difficult for him.

Rong Dai looked up at him and smiled, "You\'re hoping that I\'ll get angry?"

If she didn\'t have the memories from her past life, she would definitely have been furious.

But the present her did not care, and wouldn\'t even pay it any mind.

Otherwise, she wouldn\'t be able to think calmly about countermeasures like this.

Right now she was being cursed to the high heavens by Yang Wanwan\'s fans. If she jumped out to refute them at this time, even with evidence in hand, the willfully blind sycophants were countless.

If she tried to defend herself now, she would absolutely be cursed out of this planet.

She was very clear that it wasn\'t how much these fans adored Yang Wanwan, but how she had personally experienced the sinister side of human nature.

No one was willing to willingly admit their mistakes. One should never underestimate the darkness in the human heart.

"This way I have a chance to curry favor with you, to let you get to know me better."

Huo Shao Ting gazed at her, his sweet words were endless.

Rong Dai\'s heart skipped a beat, her ears slightly red. She glared coquettishly at him, "Contrived pandering is not in my nature."

She could be strong as steel, she could also be as gentle as water.

But she would never go against her own will to fawn over others, catering to their preferences.

She knew all too clearly where that had led her in her past life.

So she would not repeat the same mistakes in this life.

"Shao Ting, I\'ve made far too many mistakes."

She tilted her head slightly to look up at him, "I\'ve lost too much. I was too precocious, too adept at pleasing others. I lost myself, and harmed those around me."

"A woman can also be rational. I can achieve things myself, I can also be a woman who can act coy and docile in your arms, but I will not go against my true nature to cater to you."

"I don\'t like tiptoeing around things. We can lay anything open and discuss it. Things you\'re unwilling to share, I absolutely won\'t pry and dig into."

She looked at him very seriously. Aside from the issue of her past life identity, she was willing to communicate and resolve anything between her and Huo Shao Ting.

"I hope we can be both husband and wife, and the closest of confidantes."

"Shao Ting, I\'m different from other women. The pain and despair I\'ve experienced is beyond what anyone can understand, so I cherish our affinity very much."

"I hope that between us, there won\'t be too many impractical, fanciful illusions. That\'s not what I need."

She took his wrist and placed it on her chest, her strong heartbeat was clear even to herself.

Such actions and conduct would have been unthinkable and impossible in her past life.

"You can feel my feelings for you, here."

She spoke very seriously, her gaze towards him firm and persistent.

"I can do anything for your sake, but I will absolutely not go against my true nature to cater to you. That would not be love, but a disgusting currying of favor."

Huo Shao Ting had not expected his casual remark to elicit such a long response from her. His arm reflexively tightened around her in an embrace.

His slightly cool lips kissed her forehead, his own voice serious as he replied, "I understand."

With her expressing it so adamantly, how could he not understand?

At the same time, his heart ached over her past, yet also rejoiced that she was willing to say these things to him.

This allowed him to understand even more clearly what she needed.

Rong Dai leaned against his strong chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, feeling extremely reassured.

"Right, can you get Qiao Wanzhou\'s contact information?"

After the husband and wife had communicated, she also did not forget the main issue.

Huo Shao Ting looked at her helplessly. His little wife really made him love her and feel helpless at the same time.

She could be emotional or rational, sometimes even more level-headed than a man.

"I can."

As he spoke, he called his assistant Zhang and within two minutes, Zhang had sent over Qiao Wanzhou\'s contact details.

Her Weibo, WeChat, and personal number were all very comprehensive.

Rong Dai clicked her tongue in wonder and added her on WeChat.

"Why are you adding her?" Huo Shao Ting asked.

As Rong Dai waited for a reply from the other party, she also opened up that video again to explain.

"I was at the banquet then. I remember many people\'s positions there. Judging from this angle, the person filming should be Miss Qiao at the time."

"Since I can tell, netizens will definitely also be able to deduce it. With so many people present, it\'s likely someone could expose it."

After all, Qiao Wanzhou was a top A-list actress, not just a celebrity. Her professional skills were outstanding.

At a young age, relying solely on her superb acting, she had swept all the highly regarded domestic awards, and also won many international awards, even gaining a foothold in international cinema.

These were things that other domestic actresses of the same generation could not achieve, but Qiao Wanzhou had done it.

She had clearly sent this video to help Rong Dai, out of good intentions.

But if she simply released it as is, people would definitely analyze the banquet layout and deduce it was Qiao Wanzhou who filmed it.

So Rong Dai would not release this video yet. Firstly to let the netizens enjoy scolding her for a bit more, and secondly to consider Qiao Wanzhou\'s position.

She could not implicate others over her own matters.
