Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Upon hearing these words, the manic expression on Su Yu’s face froze instantly.

She seemed completely unprepared for such an answer, her beautiful amber eyes filled with disbelief.

”Sister Xianyue... what, what did you just say?”

Her voice trembled slightly, full of astonishment, as if unable to believe what she heard.

Her gaze grew even more frenzied, as if seeking some confirmation from Ouyang Xianyue.

With her actress-level performance, she vividly portrayed the woman clutching onto the last straw in despair.

Being watched by her complex, fervent eyes, even Ouyang Xianyue couldn’t help but feel her face heat and her heart race.

However, her top-tier qualities and experience kept her expression calm and composed.

Jealous rivalry...

For her, this term was both unfamiliar and distant.

Ever since her husband passed away and she took over the enterprise, her life had been firmly bound by words like ”responsibility,” ”greater good,” and ”dignity.”

She had grown accustomed to strategizing from above, accustomed to weighing everything with reason rather than following emotional impulses.

But she was still a woman.

That night in Rong City, Tang Song’s kiss on her cheek still rippled through her heart.

The thrill was real, yet the heavy shackles of identity and societal concerns forced her to maintain impeccable composure.

And Su Yu’s near-destructive decisiveness at this moment undoubtedly offered her a perfect exit.

Yes, I am compelled.

Jin Meixiao embodies international capital, with an exceedingly strong desire for control.

Su Yu is an extreme devotee of emotion, impulsive, frantic, and reckless.

No matter which force ultimately prevails, it would be a disaster for Tang Song and the hard-won stability.

She had to stand up, using her power and dignity to stabilize this core.

With these thoughts, a sense of embarrassment, bashfulness, yet relief quietly flooded her heart.

Ouyang Xianyue released Su Yu’s hand, picked up her half-full glass of red wine, and drank it all.

The spicy liquid slid down her throat, igniting a fire that brought a mature blush to her cheeks.

”I said, I can help you ’compete.’ But you must understand that competing with Jin Meixiao is not merely an emotional matter; it involves the stability of the entire situation and numerous risks.”

Su Yu stared intently at her, seemingly unmoved by any rational persuasion: ”Right now, I don’t want to think about these things. I just ask you one question, Sister Xianyue, are you sure you want to come in and help me?”

Her voice carried a hint of desperate determination.

”I...” Ouyang Xianyue met her aggressive gaze, paused for a moment, and finally slowly uttered two words: ”I’m sure.”

They exchanged glances briefly.

Su Yu’s manic and despairing expression gradually faded, replaced by a complex, knowing smile.

Ouyang Xianyue’s heart tightened abruptly, followed by an unspeakable sense of awkwardness and vexation.

She was acting!

This actress had sensed the stirring within her heart from the very beginning.

She created a stage she couldn’t refuse, a script allowing her to ”step down” with dignity under the guise of ”considering the greater good.”

However, even though both sides knew, the act had to continue.

To break it would leave no way to end it for either of them.

Ouyang Xianyue rearranged her dress, restoring her usual calm and nobility.

She elegantly changed the topic: ”Yu, what do you think, why is Jin Meixiao so against you?”

Su Yu’s lips curved with a sharp edge, ”Because I’ve let her taste the sensation of losing Tang Song.”

She casually uttered the words, yet they caused a subtle stir in Ouyang Xianyue’s heart.

She indeed had accomplished it in the past.

During that time, Tang Song had almost devoted all his energy to Tangzong Entertainment and his ”Star Training Program.”

He wrote songs for her, scripts for her, and rejected all unnecessary business for her...

He personally lifted her from the quagmire, crafting her into a dazzling, unique work of art.

This preferential treatment infused with effort was such an honor, and yet such a fatal original sin.

”Not just that.” Ouyang Xianyue sighed lightly, ”Your greatest threat is not that you won his love, but that you possess emotions that cannot be controlled.”

”Jin Meixiao is a woman with a strong desire for control. The women around Tang Song, his... lovers, she has more or less certain control over them. From the security of their residences to the people around them, every detail is meticulously monitored. This is to prevent them from betraying Tang Song, but it can be excessive at times.”

She paused and expressed her deepest concern:

”What I fear most is that her desire for control will ultimately extend to Tang Song himself.”

Su Yu’s eyes lowered slightly, emitting a cold laugh.

She seemed to hear something amusing, raised her glass, and shook it leisurely, ”Hmm, I know. There are always people around me from her side, I just didn’t bother to expose it.

Occasionally, I can use this opportunity to scare her a bit, it’s quite entertaining.

You wouldn’t know, after Tang Song just left me. Every time I privately joked about shooting intimate scenes with some male star, sparking rumors.

Her call would come within two days.

It’s laughable, she doesn’t trust me, do I trust her?”

Ouyang Xianyue’s eyes flickered, gently nodding.

In fact, this was the fundamental conflict between them.
