"Who drugged you? Who has the guts to drug my daughter right under my nose!" Jiang Zekai was truly enraged. He never expected that someone would dare to treat his daughter like this in front of him.
"It was Brother Heting's wife. Yijing saw that I was bullied by her and wanted to take revenge. She gave her a glass of red wine laced with aphrodisiacs, but she noticed and gave that glass to me. She had someone deceive me into thinking it was from Brother Heting, so I drank it." The more Jiang Man talked, the more sorrowfully she cried.
Jiang Zekai felt a bit dazed for a moment. He felt it was a bit like getting a taste of one's own medicine, but it ended up happening to his daughter. For a moment, he didn't know whom to blame. Blame Xia Yijing? She did it for Manman. Blame An Ke? But in a way, it was also a case of getting a taste of one's own medicine. Jiang Zekai didn't know how to judge for a while, so he just gently patted Jiang Man.
"I'm sorry. It's Dad who wrongly blamed you. My good daughter, you've suffered."
"I said our Manman wouldn't do such a thing. There must be some reason." Jiang's mother said as she also burst into tears.
Seeing that her parents didn't blame An Ke, Jiang Man was a bit dissatisfied.
"Why? Why did Sister An Ke treat me like this? Wuwuwu, Mom and Dad, tell me why." Jiang Man deliberately pointed the finger at An Ke, hoping that her parents would avenge her.
Jiang's father and mother glanced at each other and didn't know what to say. But seeing Jiang Man crying more and more fiercely, finally Jiang's father spoke up.
"Manman, don't think about marrying Heting anymore. His wife is not easy to deal with. Moreover, Heting dotes on her so much. There's nothing we can do to her."
"Yes, your father is right. Don't think about marrying Heting anymore. Mom and Dad are afraid you'll get hurt again." Jiang's mother echoed.
Jiang Man was a bit shocked. She knew that her parents were always good at weighing the pros and cons and were a bit "cowardly". But she didn't expect that after seeing their daughter being harmed like this by another woman, they didn't even scold that woman.
"No! Mom and Dad, I love Heting so much. I must find a way to marry him. Even if Sister An Ke bullies me, I'll accept it!"
Jiang's father and mother didn't know what else to say. Jiang's father hesitated for a while and then said.
"But Uncle Heting saw what happened tonight."
"I... I'll figure it out myself. I'll go and explain it to Uncle He."
"He Xian is really a bastard!" Jiang's father cursed.
"I'll teach him a lesson! How dare he bully my daughter like this."
Jiang Man looked at her father without saying a word. She also didn't tell her father that He Xian asked her to go to his house tomorrow night. He Xian had filmed a video of them in a compromising situation.
"Mom and Dad, it's good that you don't blame your daughter. I even think I'm a disgrace and dirty." Jiang Man said in a sorrowful voice, curling up and hugging herself as she spoke.
"No, Manman is not dirty. Manman will always be Mom and Dad's good daughter, clean, pure and kind." Jiang's mother cried and hugged Jiang Man.
"That dog He Xian! He's not even human." Jiang's father didn't know how to comfort Jiang Man, so he could only curse He Xian.
At this point, Jiang Man finally showed a faint smile. Finally, the goal she wanted to achieve was basically reached, except for making her parents hate An Ke.
Jiang Man returned home. Naturally, An Ke and He Ting also went back.
"Actually, I'm quite curious. Since Jiang Man has spent so much effort on you, why didn't you fall in love with her?" An Ke suddenly spoke up. She really thought it was quite strange. She knew that Jiang Man really liked He Ting, and Jiang Man was beautiful, had a good figure and was very charming.
"I'm not interested in any woman other than you." He Ting frowned when he heard this question, and then looked at her affectionately.
"Cough cough cough." An Ke felt uncomfortable being looked at by his affectionate gaze, so she quickly shifted her eyes and fell silent.
An Ke returned to her room and started to think about what had happened today. It was false to say that she wasn't scared at all. She didn't dare to think about what would have happened if she hadn't noticed the drug in the red wine and had drunk it. She also didn't dare to think about what would happen if He Ting suddenly didn't like her or was no longer interested in her one day.
He Ting had to go out for meetings every day, but An Ke was really bored staying at home alone.
So An Ke sneaked out with Ruixin. They went to a shopping mall together. Coincidentally, a movie was being filmed there. An Ke stood beside and watched the excitement.
"You, yes, you. Come here. Try out for this role." Suddenly the director pointed at An Ke and walked over.
"Me?" An Ke looked at him blankly.
"Yes. Stop being so wordy. Come and try it quickly."
"I... I can't!"
The director didn't care what An Ke said and directly pulled her in.
"Miss... No, Ke'er." Ruixin followed behind her.
The director gave An Ke a script.
"Try out for Gong Suxue, the third female lead. I think your temperament suits her quite well." The director didn't even give An Ke a chance to speak.
"Makeup artist, give her a cold and aloof makeup." The director pointed at An Ke and said to the makeup artist.
"Come on." The makeup artist smiled at An Ke.
An Ke was still in a daze and didn't react to what was going on, but she still followed the makeup artist into the dressing room.
After An Ke finished her makeup and put on the costume, the makeup artist led her out.
When An Ke came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on her. Now An Ke exuded a cold and aloof temperament all over her body, looking exactly like Gong Suxue in the novel.
"You're the one. You're Gong Suxue herself." The director looked at An Ke admiringly.
"What's your name?" Only now did the director ask for her name.
"An Ke."
"Come on. Go through the lines with the second male lead."
Actually, An Ke had read about Gong Suxue's character and lines in the dressing room. She quite liked them, so she was a bit interested in trying.
"Okay."
Saying that, An Ke walked in front of the camera and started to get into the role.
Gong Suxue looked at Mu Xiaoran. Her expression was desolate yet a bit calm.
"So this is how you think of me. So in your eyes, I, Gong Suxue, am just a cold - blooded and heartless person who only cares about myself."
"Aren't you someone who only cares about yourself? Didn't you come to me for the sake of your elder brother?"
"At first, yes. But since you're no longer willing to believe me, I have nothing more to say."
