A Billion Stars Can’t Amount to You

Once again, Yang Li didn’t say a word. He looked like he was contemplating something. After some time, he pensively took a drag of the cigarette again.

”You’ll have to take the video yourself. You don’t have to show your face. You’re getting a good deal here...” said Qian Ge. Once she was finished, she wasn’t in a hurry for a reply, so she elegantly and slowly blew out beautiful smoke circles. After five to six minutes later, she noticed Yang Li still hadn’t shown signs of saying anything, so she bent over and whispered. ”...Aren’t you also interested in Xie Siyao? But the problem is that she has a boyfriend, so you don’t dare touch her. How about this - I’ll give you her too...”

Yang Li’s eyes relaxed, but he was still a little worried, so he didn’t immediately agree to Qian Ge’s terms. ”But Mr. Chen definitely won’t...”

”Definitely won’t let you go?” Qian Ge knew what Yang Li was going to say. Her red lips curved into a gentle smile as she continued to say, ”You still have me, don’t you? I promise Mr. Chen won’t do anything to you!”

There were footsteps coming from the other side of the door where Qian Ge was standing. ”Think about it. Once you’ve decided, I’ll call you.”

With that, Qian Ge put out the unfinished cigarette in the ashtray and started to leave.

She took just a few steps before Yang Li cried out, ”Tell me - why’re you doing this?”

Qian Ge stopped walking.

Yang Li turned and stared at Qian Ge’s back then asked the same question with more detail. ”Xie Siyao is someone you work with and your relationship is pretty good. Other people would call you sisters. Could you tell me how you could betray Xie Siyao to take down Ji Yi?”

Why?

Those words prodded the softest part of Qian Ge’s heart. Her laid-back, seductive expression suddenly turned a little cold.

Because... He Jichen.

Just like six years ago, she and Ji Yi looked like sisters to other people, but in the end, she betrayed Ji Yi.

Also because of... He Jichen.

She liked him. She liked him like crazy. She liked him so much that she couldn’t accept him liking other people.

Back then, when Ji Yi and He Jichen parted ways, Ji Yi didn’t hold on. However, He Jichen, who liked her, held on to any piece of Ji Yi he could get. When He Jichen and Ji Yi were no longer in contact, he secretly and discreetly visited Ji Yi every month...

Qian Ge couldn’t accept that, so she formed an alliance with Xie Siyao to sentence Ji Yi to death.

But she was tough. Even with such a tragic accident, they couldn’t manage to kill her on the scene!

Later, when Ji Yi woke up, Qian Ge was willing to pay whatever price to take her down. She even personally destroyed He Jichen, whom she liked.

She ruined his name but he wasn’t her ultimate goal. Her true goal was to tear them apart, but they still managed to stay together.

She felt hard done by. She wanted to break them apart and she didn’t believe they could still be together if Ji Yi was sullied by another man. If He Jichen was okay with that, the He family wouldn’t be. If Ji Yi truly loved him, she wouldn’t willingly stay with him after that either...

With that thought, Qian Ge revealed a sinister smirk. She replied to Yang LI with a cold voice, ”Because of love. Because of hatred.”

Yes. Because of love. Because of hatred.

Because of love, I abandoned Ji Yi four years ago.

Because of hatred, I can abandon Xie Siyao four years later.
