The question to the star

Liang Weining rose to become a 'favorite' of Mr. Chen, the capital magnate of the Hong Kong Region, in just six months. The outside world said she climbed up by her beauty. No matter how good a vase might look, it can't escape being discarded once the owner grows tired of it. As such, everyone watched and waited. After three long years, they finally received news of Liang Weining's dismissal.
While the entire upper circle thought Liang Weining had become history, nobody knew that on the eve of New Year's Eve, an entertainment reporter captured a romantic moment. In a black business car parked underneath the Zhonggang headquarters building, the backseat window was half-lowered, and Mr. Chen, who was always dignified and composed, unexpectedly lost control. In the mottled shadows, he grabbed the chin of a young girl and kissed her fiercely.
The photos were exposed that same night, and a heavy snow fell over the Eastern Suburbs of Beijing.
Inside the Mid-hill Villa, the fireplace blazed warmly. The man took the girl's soft, boneless hand from behind and guided her to write on the Xuan paper: Chen Jingyuan.
"When will we go public?" he asked in a low voice.
As soon as he'd finished speaking, the mobile phone screen lit up. The exclusive breaking news headline from the Hong Kong media flashed before their eyes again, and Liang Weining fretted over the news title, "Let's wait a bit longer."
Chen Jingyuan's voice was slightly deep, "What are you worried about?"
"My dad's blood pressure has been unstable lately."
Years later, Mr. Chen gave an interview to the media, addressing personal issues.
Reporter: "For you, what was the biggest obstacle in pursuing Mrs. Chen back then?"
Mr. Chen paused for a few seconds, then smiled lightly, "My father-in-law's blood pressure."

Beijing-Hong Kong Memories

Liang Weining couldn't answer because she was indeed at fault. Some things are best kept in the heart; once written down, the flavor changes, and it's hurtful.


But there is no medicine for regret in this world.


She stammered, at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain herself.


Chen Jingyuan, witnessing her demeanor, undoubtedly read it as confirmation of his suspicion. The girl's silence only made him more certain of his guess.


Indeed, after half a year of dating, he had been too lenient with her.


That leniency had led to the current impasse.


In the prolonged silence, the man's brooding gaze shifted from her profile and settled nonchalantly on the gift bag lying not far away.


Chen Jingyuan's words emerged emotionlessly, "So, you think my gift is expensive but meaningless, not even one ten-thousandth as good as someone else's."


This heart-piercing accusation snapped the girl back to her senses.


She looked up blankly, her eyes filled with confusion.
