Wearing a patient’s robe, Han Yueyao looked pale .
With her slightly curly long hair draping on her pillow, she was leaning on the headboard and having a video-chat on her cellphone .
“Mom, you and Dad must ignore the stories those gossiping reporters made up . I’m fine… It’s just a small injury . The company is very good to me . Look, they sent me to the hospital immediately after the show . I was eliminated but I might win some sympathy from the audience . I still have a chance next week… Haha . Don’t worry . I’ll work hard and won’t give it up . I heard it’s snowing in Jing City . You guys must buy new coats . The old ones are not warm . ”
“Yao, what do you want to eat? I’ll mail some to you . ”
“I want to eat your dumplings, but they’d go bad if you mailed them . So, I plan to ask my boss for a leave to see you guys after the contest no matter if I get to the next round or be eliminated . Mom, you must make dumplings for me . ”
“Okay, okay . I’ll wait for you . Your dad is worried about you and wants to buy an airplane ticket to see you . ”
The show had wanted to invite Han Yueyao’s parents to the backstage and watch their daughter perform in the contest; they’d put on a show of family love to the audience .
But at the last moment, Han Yueyao declined because she didn’t want to hype herself and entertain the audience with her parents .
Her parents must feel bad when they saw on the TV that their daughter got injured and eliminated .
In the hospital, she video-chatted with her parents to ease their worry .
“Don’t worry about me . Our boss is very nice and he’s very good to me . ”
Ending the conversation, Han Yueyao glanced at Su Yu and smiled .
“Fortunately, I didn’t badmouth you, or you’d overhear it . ”
“You… Are you in pain?”
He had wanted to give her a good tongue-lashing, but after he saw how warmly she spoke with her parents on the video-chat, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it .
He couldn’t even joke with her, so he sounded very serious .
“Of course I’m in pain . It hurts so much . Haha… I’m sorry, President Su . I embarrassed our Imperial Star . I just fell; it was so humiliating . ”
“It wasn’t humiliating . You did your best . Fortunately, you were delivered here in time, or your foot might become crippled . Did you know that?”
“But I’m fine now . I’m fortunate . ” Han Yueyao smiled .
“You mustn’t do such things again in the future . Listen, the contest is not important . My Imperial Star has many ways to promote a performer . Other than the dance show, many other shows invite our performers . So don’t risk your health for it . ”
“President Su, your seriousness gave me the illusion that you’re a very gentle and very good boss . ”
“Bullshit,” Su Yu said in a huff and sat down before her bed . Picking up a knife and an apple, he began to peel it disinterestedly .
“Tell me how you injured your foot,” with his head lowered, Su Yu peeled the apple and asked casually .
“Huh? It’s nothing, I just got careless and fell . ”
“How did you fall?” Su Yu asked .
“I slipped in the washroom…”
“Tell me the truth, or I’ll ask your agent and assistant . I will go and get the surveillance video . So, Han Yueyao, you just tell me the truth . ”
