Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Disasters Follow One After Another
When Shen Mange heard Zhang Yang’s words, she immediately turned her head and glared fiercely at Wang Bin.
At that moment, Shen Mange resembled a mother wolf protecting her cubs, her eyes, usually as bright as the stars, now slightly reddened.
"Miss Shen, hear me out, it’s not what you think, I didn’t know she was your sister, it’s all a misunderstanding. Please give me a chance to apologize and make amends," Wang Bin pleaded, his intestines nearly green with regret. It felt like riding a roller coaster, his heart had been ruthlessly thrown from the sky to the ground.
What had he done?
He had mocked Shen Jiayi’s sister and pressured her into buying two million worth of alcohol, and then smashed twenty bottles on the spot.
Then, he had let her sister go hungry, even trying several times to drive her away and mock her for lacking manners.
Just now, he had suddenly raised his voice, nearly causing her to have a heart attack out of fear.
In this situation, Wang Bin didn’t know how to explain himself, even harboring a thought that everything should just be destroyed, wishing for the world to vanish quickly.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he regretted it, he had to face the consequences.
Wang Bin, with a forced smile, said, "Miss Shen, I..."
SLAP!!!
A crisp slap landed directly on Wang Bin’s face.
"You..." Wang Bin covered his face, looking at Shen Mange incredulously, unable to believe that the impeccable Shen Mange would actually hit him.
The next second, Shen Mange backhanded him another slap.
Wang Bin felt anger, but dared not lash out.
Then Shen Mange spoke, "You may choose to call the police, and I will hire a lawyer to fight this lawsuit with you. Regardless of how the court rules, I, Shen Mange, will accept it. But I will never let go of the fact that you hurt my sister."
Having said that, Shen Mange briskly instructed her assistant, "Immediately post a message on my official account stating, ’Shen Mange and their company will never cooperate.’"
With that remark, Shen Mange completely extinguished Wang Bin’s last hope.
However, at this time, Wang Bin turned his gaze toward Xia Xue.
"Miss Shen, these two slaps are the consequences of my own actions, but look, your sister hasn’t suffered any substantial harm. I admit I was wrong; there’s no need to mix this up with our collaboration. Considering the friendship between you and my wife, please give me another chance, Miss Shen. Our company is genuinely sincere about you," Wang Bin pleaded.
Xia Xue’s complexion changed; she didn’t expect Wang Bin to try to use her as a shield at this time.
And for a moment, Shen Mange indeed hesitated. Considering the old saying, "Don’t look at the monk’s face, look at the Buddha’s," her sister was currently living at Xia Xue’s house.
She also needed to give face to Zhang Yang.
Seeing Shen Mange finally hesitating, Wang Bin quickly added, "Miss Shen, look, Director Wu is also here, and it was thanks to Director Wu that I finally got to meet you today."
Wang Bin’s words pointed directly to both Shen Mange and Wu Tong.
The implication was clear: no matter how important Shen Mange was, she was still an actress who had to heed the director’s words and give face to Wu Tong.
And Wu Tong should also step forward to put in a good word for him.
Wu Tong frowned slightly; the situation was already very clear. Wang Bin was evidently someone who judged people by their statuses.
However, Wang Bin might have misunderstood one thing; although his screenplays never lacked good actors, Shen Mange had a special status in the entertainment circle.
Not to mention her acting skills, she was a celebrity in her own right, with each series she starred in becoming a guaranteed hit.
Not long ago, while Shen Mange was filming on set, due to the enduring success of her previous work, which had investors laughing all the way to the bank, four top industry tycoons, to accommodate Shen Mange’s schedule, unanimously flocked there to host a celebration banquet in her honor.
He was a director, yes, but he still had to make his living under the watchful eyes of the investors; otherwise, his films might find it very hard to continue.
He couldn’t afford to fall out with Shen Mange over someone like Wang Bin, it was just a shame for Xia Xue, such a talented dance performer.
"Shen Mange, do you need my help?" Wu Tong asked.
Upon hearing Wu Tong’s offer, Wang Bin was momentarily taken aback.
"Director Wu, what do you mean by this?"
"Don’t you want my wife to act in your films anymore?" Wang Bin asked in haste.
In response, Wu Tong said, "That’s a separate issue, Mr. Wang. You may not yet understand the importance of this younger sister in Shen Mange’s heart. Let me put it this way, Shen Mange would give up everything for her sister—fame, fortune, money—Shen Mange would give it all up."
Although it was his first time meeting Shen Jiayi, many in the circle knew that Shen Mange had always been working hard for her sister.
Wang Bin’s expression turned ugly; he had not expected Wu Tong to give up so quickly.
But he still had Xia Xue, so in front of everyone, Wang Bin played what he believed to be his trump card.
"Wife, for the sake of the time I saved you, help me out."
That same line again, Xia Xue couldn’t help but laugh, "Wang Bin, do you plan to control my entire life with that sentence? Now I can tell you clearly, if you still want to be with me, from now on, don’t ever utter that sentence again. Every time you say it, I will divorce you, because I’m fed up with your mental control and PUA tactics."
Xia Xue finally had the courage to speak her heart, words that had been buried deep inside her for far too long.
Wang Bin never imagined that his usually obedient wife would refuse to give him any face at a time like this.
And this seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
"Fine, very well, even you speak this way. It seems today is just my unlucky day, Wang Bin. A worthless girl has caused me such embarrassment!"
Wang Bin glared fiercely at Shen Jiayi.
What a mess, was he planning to throw all caution to the wind? Zhang Yang silently braced himself, ready to make Wang Bin truly pay if he dared to make a move.
But at that moment, Wang Bin’s phone suddenly rang.
Wang Bin was about to smash the phone, but the number on the display made him jump.
Then the madness in his eyes turned into panic and unease as he answered the call, "Hello, boss!"
It was Wang Bin’s boss from overseas, no wonder Wang Bin was so nervous.
"Wang Bin, the company hereby formally notifies you that you are dismissed. Unless you can obtain Shen Mange’s forgiveness, there will no longer be a place for you here."
Disaster followed disaster, and Wang Bin was almost too overwhelmed to react.
All eyes in the private room were on him, his mind in complete disarray.
Finally, his gaze settled on Shen Mange, and, gritting his teeth, he knelt down before her.
"Miss Shen, you heard it. The company wants to dismiss me. I cannot be dismissed; otherwise, I will lose everything. I beg you to forgive me this once for Xia Xue’s sake."
There wasn’t a hint of sympathy in Shen Mange’s eyes as she coldly said, "Up to now, you haven’t uttered a single apology to my sister, nor to Zhang Yang. Do you think you deserve to be forgiven?"
