Chapter 352: Chapter 352 - 346: That Black Bentley

Actually, everyone in the studio is well aware.

Although Shi Su is currently making steady progress in the industry and continuously striving for higher achievements, she’s seriously considering transitioning behind the scenes at any time, so that Mianmian can have a prosperous, peaceful, and tranquil future.

Nobody knows when she might suddenly decide to stop acting and stop accepting advertisements, and nobody knows when she might decide to completely withdraw from the limelight.

The "future" she speaks of is a future she has planned for herself, which doesn’t include the entertainment industry’s arena of fame and fortune, nor does it include any of her suitors, only her and Mianmian.

Mianmian will start primary school in a year, and the decision of whether to continue living in the country or to move abroad before next year is imminent, yet Shi Su has not shown her intentions and clearly has her own plans.

Shi Su had some online interviews today and was in the nanny van, answering text questions and voice questions sent by the other party on her phone.

The car was very quiet, and no one spoke to disturb her at such a moment.

Just as Shi Su was about to finish answering, she suddenly felt a jolt in her body, her limbs went slightly numb, and she simultaneously heard a loud crash near her ears.

She almost dropped her phone, and Chuju and An Yang, sitting beside her, quickly moved closer to her, both looking forward with astonishment.

"What happened?" Chuju asked.

The driver frowned and said, "We had a collision, someone was driving against traffic on the other side."

After saying this, the driver immediately got out of the car to find the driver of the offending vehicle to solve the issue.

Shi Su looked outside and saw a red BMW X7 on the opposite side, seemingly attempting to overtake and squeeze into their lane, indeed driving against traffic.

"What a lunatic, who drives like that?" Miss Chen said from the front passenger seat, looking unhappy, pausing her tone suddenly, then turning back towards Shi Su with a meaningful expression and said, "I saw an old acquaintance getting out of that driver’s seat."

Seeing Miss Chen’s expression, Shi Su immediately raised an eyebrow, "Who?"

"Tong Yuanyuan."

"..."

Chuju had a look of disgust on her face, "Her? Didn’t Jin Yuanshan kick her out a year ago? Did she recently find another backer? Driving an X7 in the city streets, how arrogant?"

An Yang sneered, "As long as she’s willing to call someone daddy, all the wealthy people in the world can be her sugar daddy. She can hang on to any bigwig she wants as long as she calls them that. After all, she just switched to another dad."

The studio only had these two assistants, and both of them had an extreme aversion towards Tong Yuanyuan.

Shi Su glanced at them, then decisively opened the car door and got out to have a look at the front.

She saw the front bumper of their nanny van was deformed and the front light shattered, but fortunately, the car body wasn’t affected otherwise. If the speed had been faster, and if it had been a larger vehicle, the impact could have prevented them from being unharmed in the car.

Tong Yuanyuan was negotiating with Shi Su’s driver. In her rush earlier, she hadn’t noticed this was Shi Su’s studio car since there weren’t any logos on the outside, just an ordinary business nanny van.

"Explaining to me doesn’t work; when the traffic cops arrive, they’ll check the dash cam, and whoever’s responsible will be responsible. You’re clearly driving against traffic, so why are you throwing a fit?" The driver spoke to Tong Yuanyuan with an impatient expression.

"Why are you such a man? Although your car isn’t cheap, it just has a broken bumper and light, is it really necessary..."

Tong Yuanyuan hadn’t finished her sentence when she caught a glimpse of another person getting out of the car from the corner of her eye. She turned and saw Shi Su, her expression instantly freezing, and she once again examined the car in front of her.

"Long time no see, Miss Tong." Shi Su walked over confidently, stopping beside Tong Yuanyuan, glancing at the damage on both cars, "Are we overly fated?"

Seeing Shi Su, Tong Yuanyuan felt like swallowing bitter medicine, full of frustration.

Shi Su, seemingly blind to Tong Yuanyuan’s unwilling expression, just smiled and said, "It’s only a broken bumper and light, but a traffic accident should still be dealt with properly. My driver is a very reasonable person. I hope Miss Tong can handle this situation with grace and not let this little fender bender turn nasty. I’m afraid your face couldn’t handle it."

Last September, during Paris Fashion Week, Shi Su was invited, and Miss Chen had already arranged a front-row seat for her alongside other top national and international female stars.

Tong Yuanyuan went too. Originally, she was seated in the second row, but unhappy knowing Shi Su was in the front row, she made a fuss. She’d already switched her backer, but no one knew to whom. Tong Yuanyuan placed an over five-million order with the brand and boasted about their close relationship publicly, trying to overshadow Shi Su.

However, Shi Su couldn’t attend the show due to a sudden issue. Since it was a last-minute invite, canceling wasn’t much trouble.

Tong Yuanyuan got her wish of sitting in the front row, but the next day, the brand faced a boycott and criticism due to territorial disputes displayed on their official site map and comments made by their leaders online.

The brand was arrogant, refusing to acknowledge their mistakes, trying to scapegoat a junior intern, but this led to domestic boycotts, and several collaborating brands quickly distanced themselves. Artists present at the show posted patriotic messages online, to protect themselves from fallout.

Tong Yuanyuan’s conspicuous presence at the show was blown up, and both fans and netizens joined in on criticizing her.

Furious, Tong Yuanyuan angrily lashed out online at the brand’s management, attempting to explain her relationship with them. She spent all night ranting like a madwoman online and called the brand to demand a refund, which was refused.

In the following ten months, Tong Yuanyuan had almost no activities or drama contracts, as if she were blacklisted due to that incident. Everything she had flaunted to Shi Su ended up backfiring.

As a result, Tong Yuanyuan became more sensitive to Shi Su’s name.

Seeing Shi Su again under such circumstances, Tong Yuanyuan didn’t want to say a word to her, simply told the driver, "Wait for the insurance company," and went back into her car, avoiding any further interaction with Shi Su.

Shi Su didn’t call after her, simply glanced down at the deformed bumper, and reached out to touch it.

The hit had indeed been quite hard.

Earlier, she couldn’t tell if Tong Yuanyuan smelled of alcohol. How could someone drive against traffic in the city at such speed if they weren’t under the influence?

She lifted her gaze, suddenly turning her eyes to rest on the black Bentley stopped ten meters away in the middle of the wide road due to the red light.

This was a new Bentley model that year, unlike the familiar one she knew, seemingly a new car, with its shiny surface drawing attention, and it wasn’t even licensed yet.

Yet, the low-key and steady model design inexplicably caught her attention, making her look twice.
