Chapter 273

Xiang Hong raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Si. He did not seem very interested, as if he was saying, ‘If you want to tell me, then I’ll just listen to it.’

From Xiang Hong’s point of view, he was only interested in Ding Shan as a person. Ding Shan’s identity, background, and occupation were unimportant to him. Therefore, he had never investigated Ding Shan before. He trusted his judgment of people.

Moreover, he wanted to understand not the labels other people had placed on Ding Shan but the real her under those labels.

However, Lin Si did not think so. Xiang Hong knew Lin Si was worried about him, so he did not stop Lin Si from investigating. He only told him not to do anything overboard.

!!

He did not expect Lin Si to investigate so quickly.

When Lin Si saw Xiang Hong’s carefree attitude, he felt even more helpless. In that instant, he thought that he had been unnecessary.

“I haven’t found any information on her biological parents. That’s strange. Her experience before the Ding family adopted her was completely blank. I couldn’t find a single trace. It seems like human traffickers most likely abducted her.” When Lin Si said this, he felt little sympathy for Ding Shan.

Regardless of Ding Shan’s character, just looking at her childhood experience, she was indeed a pitiful person.

After hearing Lin SI’s words, Xiang Hong tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes turning deep.

The little fox’s background was even more pitiful than he had imagined. All these years, he had no idea how she had managed to survive in the Ding family. Moreover, she could not find her biological parents now. In other words, she had no family left in this world.

When he thought of this, Xiang Hong felt a dull pain in his heart.

Xiang Hong looked at his phone’s photo album. Ever since he followed Ding Shan’s Weibo, he would conveniently save every photo she posted.

Ding Shan’s smile in the photo was bright and radiant, without any gloominess. However, Xiang Hong seemed to be able to see through her smile and see the lonely and helpless moments she had endured alone.

Xiang Hong’s fingers gently touched the beautiful girl on the screen. His movements were so gentle that it was as if he was touching a fragile, precious porcelain.

“Oh right, there’s one more thing. Ding Shan started her studio a while ago. I thought she would sign with a new company, but I didn’t expect her to start her studio.” Lin SI’s tone revealed a hint of surprise.

It wasn’t that there weren’t celebrities who had their studios and companies these days, but most of them were short-lived. Almost none of them were able to make it big or strong.

There were many complicated factors in this. It was not just ambition and means that could turn a celebrity idol but a behind-the-scenes capital that controlled the market.

However, ding Shan’s courage and boldness made Lin Si look at her in a new light.

Xiang Hong nodded. “I think Yin Hui mentioned this to me before. He wanted to sign her.”

“It seems that this woman is very ambitious. She is independent and clear-headed in her career. Xiang Hong, I know my words are unpleasant, but as your brother, I still want to remind you not to take it too seriously. With your qualifications, you can find any woman you want, so why do you have to take her so seriously? This woman is not simple. I advise you to be careful.”

“If I could control myself and not follow her, I wouldn’t have come to this variety show.” Xiang Hong laughed at himself.

This feeling of losing control was perhaps called being moved.

Even an expert like Xiang Hong was unable to control his own heart. He could only allow his emotions to be affected by one person, and one person entirely occupied his vision.

Lin Si did not expect Xiang Hong to say that. He frowned. Then, his eyes became slightly dazed as if he had recalled something. His expression turned ugly.

After a long time, Lin Si sighed. “You won’t turn back until you hit the wall. Alright, I’m not going to care about you anymore.”

…

The music in the training room sounded, and more than 20 trainees lined up in five rows, singing and dancing to the music.

However, everyone’s movements were very disappointing. Some people could complete the entire dance, while some limbs were stiff, and even their movements were not coherent.

Singing was also a disaster. Other than a few people with higher singing standards, the others were more or less out of tune and rushed to film.

When the music stopped, Ding Shan heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed her brows.

Everyone could see that Ding Shan was very dissatisfied with the trainees’ performance, and her expression was a little nervous and uneasy.
