Chapter 1289: Chapter 1288: Coincidence or Intentional? Chapter 1289: Chapter 1288: Coincidence or Intentional? Su Qian sneered coldly. In the end, it was all because she was no longer of any use.
The entertainment industry is just like that, very pragmatic, lifting some up and stepping on others.
Hadn't she herself ascended in just such a manner? What was there to feel regretful about?
Besides, becoming washed-up was an inevitability; it had simply happened sooner than expected.
Though she thought this way, in her heart, she wasn't willing to let it go in the slightest.
Just because of a scandal, should she be subjected to such treatment?
Zhou Tong noted her furrowed brows and the deep contemplation she seemed to have sunk into and couldn't help but say, “Su Qian, there will be other opportunities, don't get fixated on this.”
Su Qian didn't respond.
Zhou Tong found it dull and walked away.
Su Qian slowly lifted her head, a fierce glint flickering in her eyes.
Now that she was in such a state, could things get any worse?
What's done is done.
Su Qian quickly reverted to her usual self, then picked up her phone, “Mr. Wang, it's Su Qian, do you remember me?”
Who knows what was said on the other end of the line.
On this end, Su Qian said with feigned shyness, “How could I forget you? I need a little favor, a trifle for you really, and I'll thank you properly, you know what I mean.”
There was raucous laughter from the other end of the phone.
The two seemed to have reached an understanding.
Su Qian hung up and her smile immediately vanished from her face.
After that, she picked up her purse and left without looking back.
As days passed by, Bai Lan finally experienced the dreaded morning sickness of pregnancy.
Whatever she ate, she vomited; she felt as if she was throwing up every organ in her body, and it was truly unbearable.
Early in the morning, she was already hunched over in the restroom, retching uncontrollably.
Zhou Shengting watched on, his heart aching for her.
Why was pregnancy so arduous? Seeing Bai Lan crouched over for so long, he helped her stand up.
“Aren't you supposed to be on a business trip? Why haven't you left yet?” Bai Lan was surprised to see him, thinking he left early due to a tight schedule.
“How can I leave for a business trip with you like this?” Zhou Shengting furrowed his brows, his heart filled with even more distress.
“It's normal for women to go through this during pregnancy. Don't worry, I'll head back to my parents' later. They'll take good care of me. Pick me up when you return from your trip,” Bai Lan planned perfectly, seizing a good opportunity.
Her visits home had always been hurried in the past.
“Alright then,” Zhou Shengting finally agreed. “The driver will take me to the airport, then come back to take you to Mum's place.”
“Fine, I'll eat some breakfast, just good timing.” Bai Lan felt hungry after her ordeal.
Zhou Shengting finally felt a little relieved.
As it was her father's birthday, Bai Lan didn't want to return empty-handed, so on her way, she had the driver take her to the largest mall to buy gifts.
The driver did as instructed, while Bai Lan pondered what kind of present to purchase for her father.
After getting out of the car, remembering her father's love for tea, she decided to buy some.
She knew exactly what she wanted and headed straight for the tea section.
After making her selection and paying, she left the store.
Suddenly, someone came face to face with her and accidentally bumped into her.
Bai Lan furrowed her brow slightly, looked up, and saw a person in a casual tracksuit, wearing a baseball cap, with large sunglasses perched on the nose.
“Madam Zhou? What a coincidence?” A gentle voice sounded.
Bai Lan took a closer look, “Su Qian?”
“You have good eyesight, Madam Zhou, to remember me. I'm truly honored. I have a few words I'd like to share with you. It's rather crowded here; can we step aside for a moment?”
