Chapter 2067: Chapter 2067 - 1336: Standing Beside the Sun

With the passage of time, Li Xuejing’s emotions gradually stabilized. The tears on her natural face were wiped away, but she still lacked color, looking haggard and pale.

Zhu Xuan accompanied her on the sofa, and to avoid agitating her, Boss Jiang shifted to the side.

The curtains in the apartment were all drawn, tightly sealing the room, but outside, the sun should have already begun to set.

"Xuejing, what do you usually eat?"

Li Xuejing definitely couldn’t go out. Many people were probably looking for her now, and in her current mental state, she almost certainly couldn’t face the public gaze.

Sometimes, living requires more courage than suicide.

Why do most women who are raped choose to endure in silence?

Because once they choose to expose it, to seek justice for themselves, it also means exposing their gaping wounds to the sunlight for everyone to scrutinize.

And because human nature is so complex, how the audience will discuss, view, is unpredictable.

Especially since she is a public figure.

She will endure pressures from public opinion a thousand times more intense than ordinary people.

"There will be someone delivering meals regularly."

"Xuejing, do you want me to stay with you?"

Zhu Xuan looked at her sincerely.

Li Xuejing seemed very tempted, but after a moment firmly refused, "No, you can’t stay here."

Zhu Xuan knew very well that the other didn’t want to involve her, comforted her, "It’s okay, no one knows. Besides, I’m not afraid of them."

"Zhu Xuan, you don’t understand how vicious they are. You absolutely cannot let them know you’re helping me..."

Li Xuejing’s words were cut off.

"I know."

"Xuejing, do you know why I originally left Korea?"

Li Xuejing’s voice was tense, looking at her friend’s calm face.

"At that time, I was also asked to accompany guests, it was oppa who saved me. Otherwise..."

Zhu Xuan exhaled lightly, "I might not be as brave as you. Might not have persevered to this point."

"Why have you never told me?"

Li Xuejing said, dazed and lost.

"It’s not something to be proud of. And before, you also didn’t tell me."

" I didn’t want...to worry you."

Li Xuejing’s voice grew weaker.

What’s the use of speaking out, there is no one who can save her. The reason she finally reached out to Zhu Xuan was because in desperation, she held onto a try-it-and-see attitude.

At least, if she died, someone would know what actually happened.

"Xuejing, we have to stay strong. It’s not us who did wrong, but those bad people, so we don’t need to be afraid, no need to fear. The bad people are not afraid of our tears, but of us standing up, exposing their true faces, bringing their crimes into the public eye, don’t be afraid of having little power, as there’s a saying in Shen Zhou, a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

Zhu Xuan’s voice was warm and powerful, leaving Li Xuejing a bit entranced.

"Zhu Xuan, you’re different from before."

"Because now I know, not all countries are like ours. This isn’t normal, it’s pathological! Xuejing, we must find our courage. If no one dares to fight back, then the darkness will only grow heavier, never dissipating."

Li Xuejing’s pupils unfocused, after a while, she nodded silently.

"Zhu Xuan, you’re right. After all, it’s just a matter of facing death, even if it causes trouble for those people, it’s worth it."

She was invigorated.

But the mindset was still somewhat negative.

However, it was understandable.

She was just an insignificant idol, but before her stood the nation’s conglomerates and dignitaries.

"As long as you have the courage to face it yourself, prepare psychologically, then no one can threaten your safety."

Suddenly, Jiang Chen, who had been an invisible presence, spoke up, catching the attention of both Zhu Xuan and Li Xuejing.

"Gossip is unavoidable. If you’re unwilling to continue living in Korea, there are many countries elsewhere in the world."

Boss Jiang continued.

"If she doesn’t understand, translate it."

An idol, she certainly can’t be anymore.

But it’s entirely possible to live as an ordinary person, go to a new place, integrate into a new environment, change her name, or wait for time to fade everything and start anew.

"Li Xuejing, it should just be your stage name, right?"

Li Xuejing pursed her lips, looking at Boss Jiang, saying nothing, possibly doubting his ability.

Understandable.

Boss Jiang’s words came off as a bit arrogant.

A small entertainer standing out to report capital and authority must first be prepared to face destruction.

This isn’t jade and stones burnt together.

More likely just an ant trying to shake a tree, a mantis trying to stop a cart.

Laughable self-overestimation.

Also admirable self-overestimation.

"Xuejing, oppa is my boss."

At this point, Zhu Xuan revealed Boss Jiang’s identity, or rather, one of Boss Jiang’s identities.

But that was enough.

Li Xuejing’s pupils dilated slightly, she had speculated the other wasn’t a regular person, after all, an ordinary person couldn’t just come in here, but she didn’t expect him to be Zhu Xuan’s powerful boss in Shen Zhou.

Really too young.

Entertainment company presidents are usually old men in their fifties or sixties.

"Hello."

Instinctively, Li Xuejing stood up, adding a formal tone unwittingly.

Jiang Chen gestured with his hand, smiling, "If you ever want to come live in Shen Zhou, on behalf of Shen Zhou, I welcome you."

Li Xuejing likely hadn’t encountered a big figure so down-to-earth, feeling a bit at a loss.

"Sit."

It was Zhu Xuan who pulled her back down, "Oppa has spoken, Xuejing. After the matter is settled, you can move to Shen Zhou, forget all that’s past, begin a new life. You will absolutely love it there."
