Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 311: Bullying

Snog Ning reached up to touch her face as she smiled bitterly.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Isn’t my face disfigured as well?”

Yang Ning did not speak and gently removed the veil on her face.

Although Song Ning was mentally prepared, she was still shocked.
Apart from Yang Li’s eyes, everything was so badly scarred that Yang Li was no longer recognizable.
She could not help but ask, “What happened, Sister Li?”

Yang Li scoffed lightly.

Song Ning instinctively reached up to touch her face again.

Yang Li said with a hint of sorrow, “Only the left side of your face was burned, and the burns aren’t too serious.
As for the burns on your limbs, you might need a skin graft… In any case, your injuries aren’t as serious as mine…”

Song Ning asked in a trembling voice, “S-sister Li, what happened? Why am I here? I… I just gave birth to a son! I don’t know… I don’t remember how I got here…”

Song Ning finally found someone to ask the questions that had been burning in her mind since she had woken up.
She knew Xiao Peng knew what had happened but wanted to let Yang Li speak to her instead.

Yang Ling reached out and held Song Ning’s hand; her palm was very warm.
“Ning Xia, listen to me.
You have to promise me you won’t get agitated.
With your current condition, you can’t afford to get agitated.
There are things I have to tell you now because we have a lot to do next…”

Song Ning nodded.
“I promise, Sister Li.”

Song Ning knew something big must have happened, and it was important for her to remain calm.

Yang Li slowly said, “Let me tell you what happened to me first.
I was assigned to be Ye Xin’s manager by the company.
It was not what I wanted, but the company insisted because they wanted to create a Little Ning Xia, and in the company, there was no one more familiar with Ning Xia than me.
In the eyes of the fans, with an ‘experienced’ manager like me by Ye Xin’s side, they were more or less more accepting of the title Little Ning Xia.
Ye Xin demanded her manager to be prohibited from managing other artistes except for her.
To make up for that, she doubled my salary.”

“At that time, my grandfather, who raised me, was diagnosed with cancer so I really needed money.
Hence, I accepted Ye Xin’s demand.
Rather than saying I’m Ye Xin’s manager, it’s more accurate to say I’m her senior assistant.
I didn’t have a say in anything at all; she made her own decisions without consulting me.
However, when there’s a mistake, she would vent her anger on me before asking me to deal with it.
Fortunately, whenever I deal with her problems, her brother, Ye Cheng, would give me a sum of money.
For my grandfather’s sake, I had been enduring…”

“The scandal with Mu Chen was created on her own initiative.
The company didn’t dare to offend her so they went along with her wish.
In the end, when it backfired, they wanted me to deal with it.
At that time, I already had the intention of resigning.
However, Ye Cheng moved my grandfather to a sanatorium under the guise of giving him better treatment to keep me in line.”

“However, I really couldn’t cope with the series of things that the brother and sister did.
The scandal with Mu Chen had yet to be resolved, there was another incident of her losing the award.
When she wasn’t able to marry Mu Chen, her temper grew even more perverse.
You know what happened after that.
The things their family asked me to do had long exceeded the scope of a manager and also exceeded the scope of my ability.
Ye Cheng looked for me a few times to discuss a raise, saying he’ll take care of my grandfather.
He tried to use both kindness and force on me.
In the end, I compromised.”

“In Ye Xin’s eyes, I compromised because of money.
Hence, she tortured me even more, thinking I wouldn’t leave as long as money was involved.
An example was when she slapped me during the film festival.
I lost my reputation in the entertainment industry, and I’m no longer the golden manager…”
