Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 360 - Chapter 360 Chapter 359 Knocking on His Door in the Middle of

Chapter 360: Chapter 359: Knocking on His Door in the Middle of the Night Chapter 360: Chapter 359: Knocking on His Door in the Middle of the Night Brother Lei’s statement completely vindicated Xie Tianyu.

Huatian Entertainment suddenly found itself at the center of a controversy.

No one could believe that Huatian Entertainment would stoop to such despicable means to suppress a nineteen-year-old child.

Is the boss of Huatian Entertainment even human?

And those rich ladies are also deserving of death!

If anything were to happen to Xie Tianyu, these netizens would never let them off the hook.

The boss of Huatian Entertainment hadn’t expected Brother Lei to speak out, and when he saw the public opinion online, he was furious.

He tried to call Brother Lei, but his calls went unanswered.

While this issue was still unresolved, the police came knocking on his door.

Claiming that those rich ladies had pointed the finger at him.

The boss was taken to the police station for investigation.

If Xie Tianyu didn’t wake up, the boss would have to face criminal liability.

At this moment, all the boss could do was pray for Xie Tianyu to quickly regain consciousness.

Fortunately, news came from the hospital that Xie Tianyu was out of life-threatening danger.

He proposed that as long as Huatian agreed to terminate his contract, he would not hold the boss accountable.

Xie Tianyu’s sudden faint and cardiac arrest were only due to the pill Ming Yao had given him; once the drug’s effect wore off, he would return to normal.

To use this incident to bring down the boss of Huatian Entertainment and a few rich ladies was unrealistic.

Unless he was indeed in life-threatening danger.

Being able to amicably resolve the situation and win a wave of sympathy from netizens was all he could ask for.

The boss of Huatian vaguely felt that there was someone behind Xie Tianyu, offering him advice, otherwise he couldn’t have managed this on his own.

But now, backed into a corner, even if he didn’t want to terminate the contract, the clamoring netizens wouldn’t let him off the hook.

“Fine, even if we terminate the contract, no other agency will dare to sign you. Think carefully!”

Huatian Entertainment, after all, was one of C-country’s top three entertainment giants; having thwarted Huatian, no savvy entertainment company would sign him.

Xie Tianyu’s path in showbiz was hence cut off.

“I have no regrets!”

The boss of Huatian threw the termination agreement at Xie Tianyu.

As soon as Xie Tianyu left, the boss of Huatian initiated a ban against him and Brother Lei in the industry.

Those who dared to collaborate with these two would be opposing Huatian Entertainment.

Looking at Brother Lei with some remorse, Xie Tianyu said, “I’ve dragged you down.”

Brother Lei patted Xie Tianyu’s shoulder with brotherly loyalty, “Miss Ming found me, she’s signed me on to Starlight Entertainment, I’ll still be your agent.”

Xie Tianyu’s eyes widened, “Really?”

“Truly, and the salary is double what Huatian paid.”

A handsome smile spread across Xie Tianyu’s face, “Sister Yao is really my benefactor.”

“Not only that, she recommended you to Director Jih for the male lead in his next movie. You’ve got to do your best!”

Xie Tianyu nodded with tears in his eyes, “I definitely will!”

The news that Xie Tianyu had terminated his contract with Huatian and signed with Starlight Entertainment spread quickly online.

The netizens still didn’t know that Ming Yao was the person in charge of Starlight Entertainment, but this previously unknown little company became well-known overnight.

— Although Starlight Entertainment is not as big as Huatian Entertainment, signing Tianyu bro at a time like this really shows they’re a conscientious company.

— According to my cousin in the entertainment industry, Xie Tianyu was blacklisted by Huatian. If it hadn’t been for Starlight Entertainment stepping in, the poor kid would have had to return to the countryside to farm.

— Huatian Entertainment is truly disgusting. I suggest boycotting dramas produced by Huatian and supporting Starlight Entertainment more!

Due to the incident with Xie Tianyu, the buzz around Director Jih Feng’s “Peerless” also soared.

On the first day of release, the box office reached over two hundred million.

Ming Yao’s acting skills received high praise from countless professionals in the industry and among netizens.

Ming Yao’s career was flourishing–envied by some, eyed jealously by others, and hated by many more!

That included Ming Wan.

Ming Wan also came to the capital city, but she could only live in the dirtiest, dampest basement.

No one invited her to act in movies; she couldn’t even land a role as an extra.

She thought about working at a design company, but the interviewers rejected her as soon as they saw her resume.

She didn’t know what to do!

Ming Yao became an overnight sensation, but she was treated like a street rat.

This made her feel extremely unbalanced mentally.

The only thing that recently gave Ming Wan some solace was the scandal involving Nangong Xuan and Gu Siting.

So what if Ming Yao is all that great?

Didn’t Gu Siting dump her anyway?

Ming Wan’s mind was twisted. She couldn’t stand to see Ming Yao doing well. She figured out a way to find Nangong Xuan and spilled the beans about Ming Yao and Gu Siting once being married.

Nangong Xuan thought Ming Wan was a crazy woman at first and planned to have her bodyguards drive her away–

But upon hearing her words, Nangong Xuan froze.

It took a good while before she reacted, “What did you say? Ming Yao and Gu Siting used to be married?”

She had heard from her grandfather that Gu Siting had married in Li City and later got divorced.

She had never thought to investigate his past.

After all, it was just his past.

As long as his present and future were with her, that was enough!

But she had never imagined that Gu Siting’s ex-wife would turn out to be Ming Yao.

Suddenly, Nangong Xuan remembered that banquet and the way Gu Siting looked at Ming Yao.

Dark and profound, his gaze was swirling with emotions that couldn’t be dissolved.

At that time, a sense of crisis arose in her heart.

It turns out it wasn’t just her imagination.

Was Ming Yao treating her like a fool?

Pretending not to recognize Gu Siting!

“What is your relationship with Ming Yao?”

“It’s complicated. I also have the surname Ming; we used to be sisters.” Ming Wan hated Ming Yao and naturally painted her in the worst light, “Ming Yao is very scheming, Miss Nangong. You should be careful. Now that you’re with Fourth Master, don’t let Ming Yao snatch him away again!”

Nangong Xuan narrowed her eyes, “The man I fancy, naturally won’t be snatched away by her again!”

…

There was a charity auction in Yun City, and upon learning that Gu Siting would be attending, Nangong Xuan quietly followed.

Once at the auction event, she suddenly appeared in front of Gu Siting, her smile brimming, “Fourth Master, surprise!”

Gu Siting’s expression was inscrutable, revealing no hint of pleasure or anger.

Nangong Xuan boldly took a seat next to Gu Siting.

She didn’t notice that from the moment she arrived at the auction, a sinister gaze had been fixed tightly on her.

After the auction ended, the organizers prepared a dinner banquet.

Nangong Xuan sat next to Gu Siting, and a waiter poured her a glass of red wine.

Nangong Xuan sipped the red wine, leaning her small face against Gu Siting’s shoulder, “Fourth Master, I’ve never been to Yun City before. Do you have time later? Shall we go out for a walk?”

Gu Siting thinned his lips, “I don’t have time.”

Nangong Xuan had found out in advance which hotel Gu Siting was staying at.

After the banquet, she showered and changed into a silk slip nightgown.

She arrived at Gu Siting’s suite and knocked on the door.

A while later, the door opened.

Gu Siting stood in the doorway, his features stern, and Nangong Xuan looked at him with rosy cheeks and a seductive smile, “Fourth Master, I seem to have lost one of my earrings. I don’t know if it fell in your car. Could you help me look for it?”
