Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 50

Late at night, outside the windows of the Xie family mansion.

Three or four figures stood on the green lawn. One of them, a clean-cut man, covered the blood on the corner of his mouth. His eyes were wide with terror, and he was trembling all over.

“Please, good sirs, I truly didn’t know you wanted me to come along and do this!”

For an artist, achieving good resources naturally requires a price. Entertaining at dinners or accompanying people for fun is considered quite normal.

Of course, some rely on pure talent.

Song Qingxing was one such person. If she had remained low-key, she might have safely navigated the situation, but many people are never satisfied. They crave more resources and greater fame.

This male star, Shen Yu, was the same. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been tricked. When he saw the people were from the Xie family, he readily agreed. However, after being brought into the Xie family mansion, they demanded he climb through the window.

They would then knock on the door and draw the other person in the room away.

This was clearly a setup to frame someone.

Shen Yu vehemently disagreed because, no matter how he looked at it, his end result seemed to be death.

“If you don’t want to do it,”

“I can ruin your reputation right now.”

Xie Anyuan poked Shen Yu’s shoulder with his finger, his tone a chilling threat that made one’s blood run cold.

If he refused, he would die immediately. If he agreed, perhaps there was a chance to escape.

Shen Yu had no choice but to comply.

The second-floor window was easy enough to climb, especially after the men found a portable ladder.

The balcony wasn’t locked, and Shen Yu easily slipped inside.

He stood at the edge of the balcony, carefully waiting for movement inside the room. After a moment, a knock sounded on the door.

The dim bedside lamp lit up, and Xie Jingcheng put on a jacket and walked out. The Xie family’s security had always been excellent, so the balcony was rarely locked. Perhaps she never imagined trouble would arise today.

The door opened to reveal a flustered auntie. This person had worked for the Xie family for quite a few years, and Xie Jingcheng had some impression of her.

But even with that impression, she wouldn’t show a pleasant expression now, as the other person had disturbed her sleep.

“Auntie Chen, is something wrong?”

Auntie Chen merely twitched her mouth. She had been forced to come and was extremely reluctant, but the price the other party offered was very generous, so she could only reluctantly deceive the young miss. In her heart, she prayed that the young miss wouldn’t notice anything suspicious.

“Miss, it’s nothing urgent; I just wanted to ask if there are any mosquitoes in your room. If there are, you can light some mosquito coils.”

Xie Jingcheng: …

She couldn’t believe the other person had disturbed her for such a trivial matter. She felt helpless but shook her head.

“There are no mosquitoes.”

Xie Jingcheng intended to turn and leave after saying that, but Auntie Chen persisted, rambling on about various things.

“Perhaps you should light one anyway. If you get bitten, Madam will be heartbroken.”

“This coil isn’t smoky; it only smells like orchids.”

Xie Jingcheng’s patience was slowly being depleted when, suddenly, a commotion broke out inside the room, followed by the sound of two people arguing.

“Qingxing, how could you be involved with someone like this?”

“Hurry up and come with me!”

Song Qingxing groggily opened her eyes and saw Shen Yu, whose mouth was smeared with blood. She was startled. Was she sleepwalking?

She was even dreaming of an actor she had once worked with.

Song Qingxing had a decent impression of Shen Yu. After she had lost her fame, he even introduced her to resources for a couple of web dramas, which helped her out of a tight spot.

Although Shen Yu was a well-known flirt in the industry, he was very loyal to his friends and would definitely help when needed.

Hearing him shout like that, she was confused.

Wasn’t she just hooking up with a sugar daddy?

Wasn’t that a common thing in the entertainment industry?

Why would he say that Xie Jingcheng wasn’t a good person? And how did Shen Yu suddenly appear before her in the middle of the night? Looking at the open balcony, she seemed to understand a little.

When they entered, the balcony had been locked. After Song Qingxing dried her hair, she sat on the balcony for a while, admiring the Xie family’s beautiful back garden.

She was a typical person who was careful about the beginning but careless about the end. She had forgotten to lock the balcony.

The result was the tragedy of someone climbing onto the balcony in the middle of the night. Song Qingxing felt speechless. At the same time, she advised everyone not to neglect locking their balconies just because they feel safe—accidents always happen.

To verify whether she was dreaming, Song Qingxing pinched her own cheek. She pinched very hard, because she was certain it was a dream and used a lot of force.

But the pain radiating from her cheek almost brought tears to her eyes.

“Shen Yu, why are you here?”

Song Qingxing had always been a grateful person. She kept things separate. Shen Yu had helped her before, so even if he showed up in the Xie family home in the middle of the night and trespassed in her bedroom, she wouldn’t be very angry.

Since his sexual orientation was male, he probably wouldn’t do anything malicious.

“Hurry up and come with me. If you don’t leave, I’ll be tormented to death by the Xie family people.”

Shen Yu said this and grabbed Song Qingxing’s arm.

Rats!

She seemed to have fallen into a trap.

The moment Song Qingxing thought this, she heard footsteps. Xie Jingcheng rounded the bookshelf and approached the bedside. She stared at the two people entangled together, her expression dark and unreadable.

Because generally, if it were a thief, Song Qingxing’s expression should be panicked. But apart from being a little bewildered, there was no panic in her eyes.

That meant she recognized the person in front of her and held no malice toward him.

Even the best of friends would be somewhat angry if someone suddenly burst into their bedroom, yet Song Qingxing’s expression was like this.

A bitter feeling spread through Xie Jingcheng’s heart…

So, was this why the little bunny refused to open her heart, no matter how good she was to her?

Was it because she had feelings for this man?

“What are you two doing?”

Xie Jingcheng finally uttered that classic line. However, she never expected a common trope from movies and TV shows to happen to her. The taste of it now was truly unpleasant.

“Jingcheng, I don’t know how this guy showed up in my room.”

Song Qingxing quickly pulled her wrist free from Shen Yu’s grip, but her mind was already brainstorming.

How could she resolve this situation and protect Shen Yu?

There are countless people who offer help when you are successful, but those who help in a crisis are truly rare.

Shen Yu had extended a helping hand during her most difficult time, and Song Qingxing couldn’t bring herself to abandon him like a pawn.

She was too kind, too proud—and this was the origin of her tragedy in her previous life.

“I think he wants to play out the Romeo and Juliet scenario.”

“However…”

Xie Jingcheng approached step by step, her deep eyes, calm like an ancient well, fixed on Shen Yu. Her words, however, were extremely dangerous.

“I don’t think you realize that I hate that the most.”

Today, she not only had to punish this man who dared to play Romeo but also give the little bunny a good punishment.

She needed to let her know.

What it meant to belong only to her, and what it meant not to be ambiguous with anyone else!
