Chapter 290: The Dark Hand Behind the Scenes….

Translator: 549690339

Midnight.

The vacant Jolson Grand Hall.

Just a few hours ago, the 23rd SH Film and Television Festival was held here.

And now, no one is around.

Only Xia Yangyang is sitting on the stage steps.

Covering her face, as though she’s silently weeping.

Two hours ago.

She was crowned Best Actress.

But the moment she ascended to the heights of her glory, she plummeted to the depths of despair.

No one cares about why that video appeared on the main screen during the awards ceremony.

No one cares if she was set up.

Everyone cares only about the fact that she, the so-called Best Actress, was conclusively proven to have sabotaged Shen Manbing.

Even Gu Qichen went up on stage just to tell her one thing, “You’ve disappointed me greatly.”

Now, everyone has dispersed.

Perhaps this is the biggest scandal in the entertainment industry of late.

And it will be the headline for the next few months.

But in the end, Xia Yangyang today has suffered a total loss of reputation with no chance of a comeback.

Xia Yangyang remains seated on the steps.

This is the outcome she wanted.

Utter ruin is the result she wanted.

And now, she’s just waiting.

Waiting for the first person to step into this hall.

There’s a bell tower outside the Jolson Hall.

The bell rings twelve times.

It’s exactly midnight.

At exactly this moment, the door to the hall opens.

A figure appears at the entrance.

He slowly steps inside, one step at a time.

The moonlight by the door extends his shadow bit by bit.

He’s tall, dressed in a suit and looking incredibly handsome.

But you can’t quite see his face under the dim light.

He takes each step with measured calm and composure.

With his hands in his pockets, he looks every bit the gentleman.

Slowly approaching Xia Yangyang, he breaks the silence, “You should head home.”

Xia Yangyang continues to cover her face.

Her voice is filled with sorrow, “Where is home for me now? Tomorrow, he’ll probably throw a divorce agreement at me.”

The man replies, “Even so, you can’t stay here all night. We can figure out the problems once we return.”

At this point, Xia Yangyang suddenly lifts her head.

Her expression is calm and composed, with no trace of tears.

Xia Yangyang begins, “The reason I’m here is because I’m waiting for you.”

The man seems surprised, “Oh? Waiting for me?”

“I knew you’d come.”

The man smiles lightly, “Why?”

“Because the victor would definitely come to savor the fruits of their victory. My ruin and abandonment by everyone is your reward.”

The man finds this amusing, his voice laced with charm, “Yangyang, what are you talking about? I thought we were always friends.”

Xia Yangyang stands, “Friend is just a disguise you use to hide yourself. From the moment you entered my life, today’s conclusion was already set in stone. I was originally in disbelief, but now I know that the first person who showed up today, the person who sabotaged me, pushed me into the abyss and manipulated everything from behind the scenes, is you, Shen Shichuan.”

The man standing in front of her, elegant and affable, with a smile as warm as jade, is Shen Shichuan.

He didn’t respond to Xia Yangyang’s accusations with anger, defensiveness, frantic denial, or any strong emotion.

Just a mischievous smile, “Yangyang, I really have no idea what you’re talking about.”
