Chapter 364 - Only on My Own

Xia Yu patted her forehead with her hand and shook her head. Then she said, “Nothing! Cai Yanyan might have fallen into trouble. She offended the investor, so her role may be replaced.”

“The entertainment circle is so realistic indeed. You should persuade her to be positive. If she can’t make it in that field, let her come back.” Shen Yan looked at Xia Yu with some distress. It must have frightened her in the past two days.

What she saw was nothing but just the surface, the tip of the iceberg. She couldn’t even think about the real darkness.

“Well, I will. I will go to the company later. After that, I will come to see her.” After Xia Yu got washed and ate breakfast with Shen Yan, she came to see Cai Yanyan.

But after she had been knocking on the door for nearly a minute and even calling her name, no one came to open the door. A terrible thought flashed up in her mind. Would not Cai Yanyan take things too hard…?

At that time, her roommate opened the door. “Miss Xia, why did you come so early?” The girl came back late from the night shift last night. She didn’t know if Cai Yanyan came back or not. Seeing that Xia Yu came over to find her, she started to knock on the door of Cai Yanyan’s room with Xia Yu.

But still, no one answered. Xia Yu twisted the door handle with her hand and found that the door was not locked. She pushed the door open and came in, only to find there was no one in the empty room.

Xia Yu sat down on the bed with her hands on her chest. It was really scared her just now, but luckily, it was a false alarm. Cai Yanyan did not take things too hard. She just went out.

Was she going out for breakfast? Xia Yu wanted to call her, but she didn’t have a mobile phone now. She couldn’t even contact her. Xia Yu walked around the neighborhood to find her but failed. Finally, she could only wait for her in her room.

But the morning passed, she did not return. In the afternoon, Xia Yu went directly to the crew but did not find her as well. She asked other people whether she had come here or not, but all the answers were no. Where would she go?

When Xia Yu was so worried that she was going to ask the police for help, the mobile phone rang, and it was not a familiar number. She immediately picked it up.

“Is this Ms. Xia Yu? I am an employee from Jinling Hotel. Ms. Cai asked me to call you. She is now in Room 1101 of our hotel. Please come over to pick her up as soon as possible. And bring a set of clothes.”

“Well, I will be there right now.” Xia Yu was very confused in her head at the moment. How could Cai Yanyan go to another hotel? She kept guessing. And the more she thought, the more she was afraid…

After arriving at the Jinling Hotel, Xia Yu explained her identity to the receptionist, and immediately an employee took Xia Yu upstairs to open the room after swiping the card. Then the employee just left.

Xia Yu pushed the door open. There was a strange smell in the room. It was like the smell of blood as well as the smell after sex.

“Xia Yu, is that you?” A very weak and faint voice came from the bed.

“It’s me!” After Xia Yu closed the door, she quickly went to the big messy bed. The floor was full of torn clothes. When she got to the bed, she put the quilt aside.

After seeing the scene under the quilt, Xia Yu covered her mouth with her hands tightly so that she did not let herself scream, and a gripping pain came from her heart.

“Who? Who did it?”

Xia Yu squatted in front of the bed, asking her in a choked voice. Xia Yu looked at her abused body, on which there were some shocking traces. Some of them were caused by biting with teeth while some resulted from tying with a rope. And even some were caused by whipping with a whip. Besides, it was still unknown what many of the traces were caused by.

The bed was bloody. Blood was still flowing out from her underneath. Xia Yu was mad and distressed. Tears poured out with sadness.

“I will send you to the hospital.” Xia Yu helped her put on the clothes that she brought here.

Her pain was so sharp that she couldn’t help trembling. She dropped her eyes and bit her lower lip with her teeth. Her lips which were supposed to be delicate were a mess from frenzied biting at this time.

“Take out the mask and sunglasses from my bag. I can’t be recognized in public. Don’t go to the hospital. Go to a small private clinic.” Cai Yanyan looked at Xia Yu pleadingly. There were crazy perseverance and shame in the depths of her eyes.

“You…” Was this still Cai Yanyan who she was familiar with? Xia Yu whimpered and wanted to scold her. Was it worth what she had done?

But when she saw her weak and unbearable appearance, she couldn’t do it cruelly. She turned around and picked up her bag. Then she took out the sunglasses and a mask from the inside. She helped Cai Yanyan wear those things and fix her hair. Then she carried her on the back and got out of the hotel.

Xia Yu took her into a private clinic. A middle-aged female doctor saw the scars on her body and showed a shocked look on her face as well. Then she quickly prepared the tool and was about to suture her underneath.

After the suture operation was completed, other wounds were also treated.

All night, Xia Yu had been accompanying her by the side without leaving. She didn’t sleep very well. She often woke up, screaming. And every time her head was sweaty. Fear and helplessness were in the depths of her eyes.

Looking at her, Xi Yu was uncomfortable in her mind. In fact, even if Cai Yanyan didn’t tell her who hurt her like this, she could still guess right. It was the investor who was a pervert. Cai Yanyan went to find him in order not to lose the role of the female second.

She had really fallen into a state of madness even though Xia Yu did not approve of her doing so. But after all, this was her choice, and she had paid for it. In the future, Xia Yu didn’t know whether she would regret what she did today. But based on what had happened so far, she felt that Cai Yanyan would not at all.

In this case, what could she say?

The next morning, Cai Yanyan was a little better and immediately took the phone of Xia Yu to call the director.

“Thank you, director. I will go back to the crew tomorrow. Ok, got it. I will not delay the filming process.”

After hanging up the phone, Cai Yanyan had a blush on her bloodless face, showing an excited smile. She said to Xia Yu, “The director just said that I could continue to film.”

Looking at the smile on her face, Xia Yu could only feel sad and heartbreaking. “Is it worth it?” Xia Yu asked softly. Although in her heart she had reminded herself hundreds of times that she should not ask these questions, she couldn’t help asking when Cai Yanyan talked to her in an excited tone.

Cai Yanyan’s face turned stiff, and she stopped smiling. Looking at Xia Yu, she enunciated every word. “It’s worth it. I won’t regret it.” She paused and said again, “Xia Yu, I know you will look down on me. I’m not as lucky as you are and was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth as Fang Feifei. This is just my sorrow, but I don’t accept my fate. I can’t choose my birth, but I can choose the way I will go.

“But…” Xia Yu wanted to say that this was undoubtedly hurting herself.

But she did not say it out. Cai Yanyan smiled with bitterness and continued to say, “But isn’t this a shortcut? Isn’t it? Take Li Feiran as an example, didn’t she sleep with others for money? This is the sorrow of people like us. We don’t have a powerful father to support us. We can only fight by our bodies. Or we will never make it. ”

Perhaps she was right. Xia Yu became speechless.

“Xia Yu, could you please keep this secret for me forever?” Cai Yanyan grabbed Xia Yu’s hand and her eyes were full of pleading.

There were countless words in her mind, but the only word that came out from Xia Yu’s mouth was “Okay”.

Hearing that Xia Yu agreed, a slight smile flashed on her face. “Thank you, Xia Yu. We are all from other cities to fight for ourselves. So, let’s wish each other good luck.”

“I go to buy breakfast.” Xia Yu stood up. She turned around and hurriedly left the clinic. She came outside and let out a long breath of depression which was suppressed in the chest.

Yes, good luck. But in addition to this, what else could we do?

In the evening, Cai Yanyan insisted on going home and said that she was much better. Xia Yu couldn’t persuade her. After returning to her house, Xia Yu accompanied her for another night. This night Cai Yanyan still woke up several times. Every time she woke up, she would grab Xia Yu’s hands tightly.

“Fine! I am here with you. Back to sleep.” Xia Yu comforted her.

She closed her eyes again and continued to sleep.

When it was dawning, Xia Yu couldn’t hold it anymore, lying on the sofa and falling asleep. But not after a while, she heard that a voice calling her name came from her ear. She slowly opened her eyes in a daze, seeing that Cai Yanyan stood on the sofa and said. “Xia Yu, I am going to shoot in the crew today. You have had a hard time these two days. You can sleep here.”

“I will go with you.” Her body was still weak. What if she became fainted again? Although there were many people in the crew, Xia Yu didn’t trust them.

Xia Yu kneaded her head heavily. After washing her face with cold water, she became a little sober.

Cai Yanyan did not refuse. Perhaps she didn’t trust them, either.

“Yanyan, are you fine?” Xia Yu looked at her worriedly.

She smiled at Xia Yu. The smile was very bitter and helpless. Then she said, “Much better.” She then changed the topic and asked Xia Yu to help her blacken her eyebrows.

After she wore her makeup, Cai Yanyan looked much better, and outsiders could not tell that she was covered with bruises under her clothes.

After arriving at the crew, some people saw Cai Yanyan and showed a surprised look. Immediately, they seemed to think of something and then showed their contempt. However, Cai Yanyan always lifted her chin slightly and smiled.

Now that she had made a choice, no matter what was ahead of her, she would face it with a smile.

In the morning, Cai Yanyan shot two scenes. Even though the makeup on her face was very heavy, it could not conceal her sick and pale face. She was seen to shake her body several times. It seemed that she nearly became fainted again. But at last, she still got over it.

As soon as the scene was finished, Xia Yu ran to her immediately and held her into the makeup room. Then Xia Yu poured her a cup of water.

“You must go to the clinic again in the afternoon. Don’t force yourself anymore.” Xia Yu said in a tough tone. This time, she said yes and no longer forced herself.

Xia Yu was still worried about her and kept accompanying her. After lunch, Xia Yu was ready to send her to the clinic.

“Are you Cai Yanyan’s assistant?” The investor’s eyes were circling around Xia Yu’s body and finally stopped on her chest, revealing a greedy look.

There was a surge in Xia Yu’s heart, and she almost spat out her lunch. She wanted to slap him, but she thought of what Cai Yanyan had suffered from. She was afraid that her slapping might ruin Cai Yanyan’s future, so she forced herself to turn her head away and did not look at the investor anymore.

“What’s wrong with Manager Sun? You are so pretty. Why did he not make you an actor, but a small assistant? Pity! What a pity!” The obscene man showed a very sympathetic look and handed over a business card to the front of Xia Yu. “I still have things to do now. This is my business card. You can call me tonight, and I will give you a clear direction. What do you think of it?”

Xia Yu didn’t answer him. Of course, she didn’t receive his business card. She took Cai Yanyan’s arm and walked in the other direction. “Yanyan, let’s go.”

The obscene man’s face darkened. “B***h !”

Cai Yanyan panicked and rushed to apologize to him with a smile. “Boss Liang, my friend is immature and inexperienced. Please don’t be mad.”

Humph! The obscene man threw his business card on the ground and squinted his eyes, looking at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu directly ignored him. She did not look at him as well as his business card on the ground at all.

Cai Yanyan bent over and was going to pick up the card. The obscene man said, “Let her pick it up.”

“Oh! So arrogant!” Li Wen held half a cigarette in his mouth with his hands in his trouser pocket and swayed his way to the front of the obscene man. He glanced at him first. Then he stretched out one of his hands and held half of the cigarette in his mouth between his fingers. Then he spat out a mouthful of smoke to the obscene man and dismissively said, “Do you know who you are talking to?”

“It turns out to be Young Master Li.” The obscene man twitched the corners of his eyes twice and squeezed a smile. But in fact, he had hidden his hatred to the man in front of him for he who was a playboy had just knocked off one of his teeth.

If it was in A city, he promised to immediately knock off two teeth of this young playboy. However, this was in S city. It was Li Wen’s place.
