Chapter 280: Hian’s plight

Hian who realized that someone had just discovered her identity despite the very amazing grandma disguise squealed.

She was not hesitant or slow anymore, with strength, she jumped away from Chi Lian and her eyes looked around vigilantly.

"Who are you?" she asked Chi Lian. "Are you here for the money?"

There was no other money being talked about except for that one million dollar reward. Chi Lian scoffed and laughed in contempt.

"Do I look like I am hurting for money?" she asked.

She had picked this disguise on purpose, a rich young woman with lots of money to burn on crazy adventures. She had done it this way to make Hian conclude that the peep star had money. This would make the woman comfortable enough to talk because she would not be worried about being sold out for one million dollars.

"Are you... Hian asked but she did not complete her words. Her eyes however did look at Chi Lian with a request to fill in the rest.

"Let’s go with yes." Chi Lian answered.

Hian appeared to be hesitant, she took a step back and said, "I only want to talk to the peep star or I am gone. "

"I am the peep star." Chi Lian declared confidently.

"Prove it." Hian said.

Chi Lian crossed her arms over her chest and frowned. "Actress Hian, I managed to identify you beneath that large bundle of clothes and old grandma hair and make-up. That alone means my skills at finding what and who I want is excellent. You are aware that the peep star operates under strict anonymity; privacy is my bread and butter. I will not be proving who I am to you, but as a peace offering I am willing to share what little information I know about your situation so far."

Even though she was doing her best to make Hian feel comfortable, the woman was like a hunted gazelle. Her eyes were darting back and off, very unsettled as if she was waiting for someone to jump out of the shadows and grab her.

"We are safe, I have measures in place so if anybody suspicious approaches us, I will be the first now." Chi Lian assured Hian.

"You really don’t know that bastard." Hian responded sarcastically.

"He is a drunken womanizer that used to beat you every time he was wasted. In the beginning he apologized, bought you expensive gifts and promised you heaven and earth.

Eventually the apologies and gifts went away and all that was left is bruises and make up."

Hian stopped looking around, her arms fell to her sides and she smiled sadly. "So you really do know." She said softly.

Her barely audible voice was carried away by the wind.

"I told you, I know something about your situation, what I don’t know is why you stayed. You are one

of the most famous women in this empire, you have looks and money. Your career was thriving and you had not even hit your peak.

Why give all that up for a man who pummeled you into the ground and pulled your hair mercilessly as if he wanted to rip it off your head?"

Chi Lian showed Hian a video on her phone showing the exact actions she was describing being done. In the video, Kevin who was drunk, staggering and slurring over his words pursued Hian, kicked her and pulled her back into the house by her hair.

Muyang’s friend had sent him this video and he sent it to her. After watching the brutal actions of Kevin, Chi Lian wanted to share the video with the rest of the world and expose that monster for who he was but she knew that his video would serve Hian better if she ever decided to divorce. This would sink Kevin so hard that he would never be able to recover in the eyes of the society.

He would forever be remembered as a beast and any woman he dated would know what kind of man he was.

But exposing the video was Hian’s choice because it was her whose dignity was being trampled on.

"Do you know how many rich men have courted me?" Hian asked her.

Chi Lian was taken aback by the question. It was kind of an odd one so she could only make a guess, Hian was gorgeous after all. Her physical looks were her biggest assets.

"I don’t know, many I assume." She answered with a shrug.

Hian nodded, "Many indeed." She said and laughed in a self-depreciating manner. "Do you know how many of them wanted to marry me?"

"Uhm, many." Chi Lian replied unsurely.

Hian laughed again in that same manner, slowly in the beginning and then hysterically. Chi Lian could only assume that the events of the last few months had taken a toll on her mental health.

The woman needed help psychological help.

"My manager used to arrange dates for me. It was always with wealthy men, most of them second generation heirs from aristocratic families." She paused and kicked some snow to the side. "It was not by my request; she just looked out for me you know. At some point all female stars age, our looks begin to fade and younger actresses come in.

Suddenly in the acting world you are not the princess anymore; you are the mother of the princess. Soon you become the grandmother, the nagging mother-in-law or the old bitter aunt."

Hian went on a rant that Chi Lian did not see coming, one that was filled with a lot of self-loathing, anger and pain.

"So you have to make plans before you hit thirty, meet the perfect man. I met so many men who claimed that they would do anything for me but at the end of the date, anything became something. Young rich aristocratic heirs do not marry actresses; they take them as mistresses and marry women from their class. I even met the third prince for a date once you know." She paused and chuckled.

"I rejected their slimy offers of course; I wanted my love story to be like that of a fairy tale, the Romeo and Juliet kind with a happy ending which is what drew me to Kevin.

He was different, caring, loving, and generous. I got pregnant and he asked me to marry him immediately. Everything happened so fast, I didn’t have time to assess him or think. I was just happy that someone wanted to be with me for who I am, not because of my weird gold hair."

She talked about her hair with a frown on her face, as if it was a source of conflict of her.

Hian’s golden hair was a constant source of argument between her fans and netizens because some people assumed it was dyed gold while others said it was natural.

Hian of course had to produce childhood pictures which proved that her hair was naturally golden colored but people claimed her parents dyed it.

Rumor had it that a lock of Hian’s hair was once sold for one hundred thousand Yuan on the dark web. Some obsessed fans were willing to pay hundreds and thousands for it.

One rich woman even offered Hian half a million for half of her hair. Apparently she wanted to turn it into a weave.

As she was thinking, she missed the latter part of Hian’s narration of her trials. The woman was heaving, seemingly done with her rant. Now was the time to get down to why Hian wanted to see her in the first place.

"What do you want from me?" Chi Lian asked her.
