A Billion Dollar Exchange

261 Blessing in disguise

Liling said, tears clouding her eyes again. She had been holding it in and didn't want to make Liu Wei feel guilty for anything, but how he acted could not prevent her tears from falling.

''You can cry, Liling. I know you want to.''

Liu Wei knew she did not want to look sad in front of him, but he did not want her crying all by herself.

''Stop it, I don't want to cry! ... ''

Liling managed to say before she burst into tears. She cried till her eyes ached.

''Am I a gold digger? Why would they have to sound so hurtful! What did I do so wrong?''

That was the celebrity world; nobody cared if what they said were true, as long as it got people talking. They did not care if the person they talked about would get hurt in the end.

''It will be okay, everything would be alright. ''

Liu Wei comforted her. That was her first scandal and he understood how it felt, most importantly, when what is talked about is not true in the first place.

Liling stopped crying after a while. She was feeling light after crying out her heart.

''You should go to work, it's already late. ''

She said releasing her arms from him.

''No, I'm not going to work anymore. I'll stay here with you. ''

Liling shook her head immediately.

''You have to go, Xin Yong is coming over, so you shouldn't worry, okay? ''

Liu Wei thought for a while before nodding. If Xin Yong would come around, then it was fine, she would have someone to talk to and about other things which would take her mind of the posts.

After dressing up, Liu Wei kissed Liling goodbye before leaving for the company. As soon as he left, Liling went back to bed; she decided to sleep a little to clear her head.

But before she could drift afar, her phone buzzed from beside her. She angrily took it and wanted to switch it off, but before she could press the power off button, her eyes fell on the caller.

''Manager Su! ''

Liling sprang up from the bed immediately.

''Manager Su? ''

''I called yesterday; you switched of your phone? ''

''Ye.. ah…''

Liling stammered, rubbing her face.

''Have you seen your sales? ''

''No? ''

Liling asked in reply. She wondered why her manager would suddenly ask about her Album sales with everything going on online.

''It has skyrocketed! It seems this scandal created a great exposure for you, you now #8 on billboard China, don't bother about the scandal, it would die off soon. Besides, it isn't really a wrong thing to date our CEO, it's a great exposure, don't mind the jobless people talking trash online. And more good news, you have five endorsements waiting for you to sign, should I accept all, or do you want to look through them? ''

Liling was still stunned by the sales and the endorsements that her lips could not form a word.

''Yes, yes, I'll see them tomorrow or next. Thank you. ''

''Okay, that would be all for now… oh, that reminds me; someone wants to speak with you. ''

''Before Liling could ask who, she heard that familiar voice. ''

''Liling, are you okay? ''

Liling rolled her eyes. She didn't want to cut the call when Manger Su was there and besides it was her who had called, so it would be disrespectful.

''I told you not to appear in front of me again.''

''I'm not in front of you, am I? ''

Su Min replied.? He couldn't call Liling on her phone and even if he did with a new number, she would cut it once she realized he was the one. The only way to speak with her was through his niece, her manager, whom he was sure she would not disrespect.

''What do you want? ''

Liling vomited angrily. Although she had heard a little bit of good news that day, talking to Su Min was getting her sick.

''I just called to know how you are doing…''

''I'm fine, anything else? ''

There was silence for a while before Su Min spoke up.

''You know if you had considered my offer, you would not be in this mess right now.''

Liling, whose brows were creased angrily, felt like gagging. It took her all her restraint not to insult Su Min upfront.

''Mr. Su, I would rather be in a thousand scandals than be with you. You know, if you continue doing this, it'll make me hate you, even when I don't know you. I'm happy with him, please stop disturbing me! Don't you have better things to do?''

Liling shouted angrily. She could not understand how a man could be so persistent! It was irritating!

''Liling, I…''

''PLEASE!! Give my manager the phone!'

Liling said as a matter of finality. Su Min, seeing that she was not going to listen to anything he had to say, handed the phone over to Miss Su.

''Okay, that would be all for now, call me when you come to the company.''

''Okay. ''

Liling tossed her phone aside when she heard it beep.? She had thought that after what she told him that day he would move on, who would have thought that he would try to speak with her through her manager!

Liling was still mad but remembering the good news, she calmed down. She was going to tell Liu Wei when he returned.

…

Liling did not know when she slept off, but she woke up to someone knocking on the door.

Dragging her feet to the door, she pulled it open.

Xin Yong stood by the door, wide grin and crescent moon shaped eyes. Her arms were wide open, waiting to receive Liling/

''XIN YONG!!! ''

Liling flew into her arms hugging her tightly. She refused to let her go and Xin Yong couldn't help laughing.
