Tong Le followed Zong Zeyu out of the club.
Outside the main entrance, Zong Zeyu looked at Tong Le's cheerful face and felt a surge of anger rising within him. However, when he saw his wife's expression, he couldn't bring himself to be mad. He wanted to scold her, but the words twisted in his mouth. "Does your foot still hurt?"
Tong Le nodded vigorously, grimacing in pain. "Of course it hurts! I was just trying to hold it in!"
She turned her head to glare at Jiang Zhichao, who was standing quietly off to the side, her eyes flashing with fury.
Jiang Zhichao grinned sheepishly, adopting a posture of surrender. "Sister, I didn't mean to spill the beans! It was Zong Zeyu who forced me!"
Tong Le pointed an accusing finger at Jiang Zhichao's face. "I'll settle the score with you later."
Then she began lecturing Zong Zeyu. "In the future, don't just show up without consulting me first! Even a heads-up would be nice. I'm worried that Zong Caishan might suspect my motives. After all, given our relationship, I have no reason to seek him out for film resources. But I just found out that Zong Caishan and Ying Rong Xiao are friends, so it's not hard to deduce that Kong Feng is deliberately getting close to Zong Caishan to mess with Jin Zi Meng—most likely under Ke Wenjie's and Ying Rong Xiao's orders."
At this moment, Jin Zi Meng was feeling anxious. "Sister Tong Le, does this mean Ke Wenjie has set his sights on me? What does he want?"
Tong Le sighed and replied, "Ke Wenjie's intentions are clear. He has already caused Jin Feng's death. The only uncertain factor now is you. You say you don't have any evidence left by Jin Feng, but with Ke Wenjie's level of suspicion, how could he believe you? Therefore, he will do everything he can to control you because he can't afford to kill again; that would be too obvious and could expose him."
Jiang Zhichao immediately got angry. "So this Ke Wenjie is targeting Jin Zi Meng's weak spot for precise strikes! He knows Jin Zi Meng has dreams of being an actress and deliberately seeks out people like Zong Caishan to harm her! People like Zong Caishan and Kong Feng are nothing but tumors in the entertainment industry! Just look at how they behaved in that private room—clearly a bunch of old lechers who don’t see female actors as human beings! If they get their hands on Jin Zi Meng under the guise of providing film resources, it would be easy for them to lead her astray—whether it’s through drinking or sleeping with her or even getting her involved with drugs!"
Hearing this made Jin Zi Meng turn pale; her face looked ghostly.
Tong Le took Jin Zi Meng's hand, feeling how cold it was and sensing a layer of sweat on her palm.
She shot Jiang Zhichao a glare. "Shut up!"
Turning back to comfort Jin Zi Meng, she said, "It's okay; this matter has been resolved. You should focus on your acting now. Last time Boss Cai introduced you to that indie film—you passed the audition! Although it's a small role, it's a start. Boss Cai has resources on our side; just stick with his team and learn from them. When you're ready in the future, you can negotiate collaborations with other teams."
Jin Zi Meng nodded slowly, her eyes devoid of spirit.
Tong Le patted her shoulder reassuringly. "What are you afraid of? Look at you—where's that spark you used to have? You used to be so clever and lively! Just because of one Zong Caishan, you've lost your spirit?"
Jin Zi Meng lifted her head; she realized she was no longer the same person she used to be. She understood that people could grow up overnight but could also age just as quickly.
After her mother passed away, she lost her courage and confidence; she even realized that life and death were not within one's control. Later on, when she encountered Kong Feng and Zong Caishan, she discovered that the world wasn't as beautiful as she had thought. A movie might look good on screen, but behind the scenes were all sorts of unspoken power plays.
She began to doubt life itself and question this world.
She knew these people around her were human beings too; yet just five minutes ago, she felt like she was half a foot deep in an abyss—her distance from it was merely a step away.
Noticing that Jin Zi Meng seemed lost in thought, Tong Le held her hand and comforted her again. "How about this? For now, focus on acting in Boss Cai's indie film. If you want to go to company events, go ahead; if not, don’t worry about it—just coordinate with Jiang Zhichao for company matters. Also, I'll sign you up for a dance class since you love dancing. Your audition success was partly due to your dancing skills, but I think you can continue improving. Dancing can lift your spirits; sweating through exercise will help restore your confidence and courage."
Jin Zi Meng nodded slightly.
Tong Le embraced Jin Zi Meng tightly and reassured her softly, "It's alright; you still have us by your side. You need to let Aunt Jin Feng rest easy."
At this moment, in Zong Zeyu's eyes, Tong Le was like a warm little sun. He wished that this little sun could shine forever, especially in his embrace. Although Tong Le was hugging Jin Zi Meng, seeing his beloved embrace someone else made him feel a twinge of jealousy.
He even found it strange that he was feeling jealous of a man, and now he was also feeling jealous of a woman.
The four of them were walking towards the business car when they unexpectedly ran into Lan Qingqing.
