Kiss Goodnight, Mr.Ji-Chapter 54

Chapter 54: I Have to Disengage You if I Choose to Play the Role?

Ye Shengge was so pissed that she almost sneered.

This whole ‘date’ was nothing but a trap for her.

There was something that Mu Yanhuai wanted to say but found it awkward to do so, so he needed Cheng Fang to say it for him.

What amused Ye Shengge was that Mu Yanhuai had used a date as an excuse to trick her. He really had no respect for her feelings.

“You think I paid the commenters to trash Mu Xiaoya, don’t you, Yanhuai?” Ye Shengge looked at the man beside her. “However, the entire public was questioning me when the cast choice was released. You were behind that, weren’t you?”

“Yes,” Mu Yanhuai admitted it without hesitation and smiled. “But that’s for our company. Reputation isn’t important for you ’cause this is your only show, so we need to bring Xiaoya up. I thought you’d understand this.”

Ye Shengge smiled, “That’s right. Which is why I didn’t question you last time, but this time, the team chose to bring me up and to put Mu Xiaoya down. After all, I performed better than her.”

Mu Yanhuai was dazed and said, “Is this the team’s promotion strategy?”

“Of course,” Ye Shengge kept a straight face. “Or what else?”

Mu Yanhuai frowned, yet Cheng Fang couldn’t hold back anymore, “Have you no shame? Our Xiaoya is already a star. How dare you say you performed better than her?”

“What can I do? That’s what others think.” Ye Shengge shrugged her shoulders and said. “There’s no point scolding me, auntie.”

“Is this how you talk to your elders?” Cheng Fang couldn’t have been more furious. She stood up and said, “Yanhuai, we don’t want a daughter-in-law like this!”

“Sit down first, mom.” Mu Yanhuai took a deep breath and turned around. “I feel like you’ve changed, Shengge.”

Ye Shengge felt a great sense of revenge and bitterness upon hearing that.

“Really? I reckon you’re just overthinking.” Ye Shengge smiled. “You will suspect me no matter what happens. Aren’t you engaged? Why don’t you trust me at all?”

“Trust?” Mu Xiaoya said contemptuously. “You cheated on Brother Yanhuai, otherwise, you wouldn’t have got the ‘Xue Ning’ part.”

“That’s right!” Cheng Fang yelled again. “Our family has rules. Those who’re immoral can’t marry into our family.”

Mu Yanhuai gave Cheng Fang a hand sign, signaling her to be quiet.

“Shengge, you’re not as devoted to me and the company as you were before you took the role.” Mu Yanhuai gazed at her. “I know this is something that you’ve always longed for, but this opportunity is doing nothing beneficial to our relationship. Do you really think it’s worth it?”

Finally, he had said it.

Ye Shengge sneered.

“What do you mean?” She smiled, still looking firm.

“What else do you think he means?” Cheng Fang sneered. “Give the role back to Xiaoya, then I’ll let this go. Otherwise, don’t even think about marrying into our family.”

“Are you saying that I have to disengage with you if I choose to play the part?” Ye Shengge smiled.

Mu Yanhuai was dazed.

This was exactly why he had asked his mother to come today. He had thought that Ye Shengge would choose to stay engaged with him after struggling to make a decision.

After all, he was certain that Ye Shengge wouldn’t let him go like this after three years of devotion.
