?Chapter 280: Chapter 281: Repaying Tenfold (10)_1 Chapter 280: Chapter 281: Repaying Tenfold (10)_1 After a pause, Liang Chen turned his head to look at Jing Haohao before addressing her, his words deliberate and measured, “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Haohao, what do you think?”
“An eye for an eye” the unspoken intent was clear, if you slap my woman once, then I will return ten slaps to you!
Moreover, this was all happening in front of so many people. Zhou Nan was undoubtedly losing face greatly!
Everyone present gasped in unison on hearing those words. They first looked at Zhou Nan, then turned their collective gazes towards Jing Haohao.
Liang Chen’s voice, originally cold and ruthless, softened imperceptibly when he uttered “Haohao”. His voice was pleasant to begin with, but at this moment it carried a suggestion of persuasion. Jing Haohao’s heartbeat involuntarily stopped.
She lifted her head to see everyone watching her, including Zhou Nan, who was on tenterhooks, waiting for her to make a decision.
Jing Haohao didn’t particularly like Zhou Nan, but she wasn’t a pompous person either. After some hesitation, she addressed Liang Chen, “Let’s let it go. She has apologized. Let’s leave it at that.”
Liang Chen did not reply. He kept staring at her, his silence expressing his clear displeasure with her decision.
Jing Haohao thought for a moment, then continued, “She’s a girl too. Let’s not do this.”
Liang Chen suddenly reached out, gently pulled Jing Haohao towards him, his voice softened as he whispered into her ear. “You too, are a girl.”
His words left Jing Haohao in a daze.
A second later, Liang Chen’s voice echoed again, “She is a girl. You speak up for her. But you too, are a girl. Who will speak up for you?”
Jing Haohao looked up to meet Liang Chen’s gaze. His eyes were full of resolve, clearly showing his determination to make Zhou Nan pay tenfold!
When she was with Shen Liangnian, he wasn’t oblivious to the grievances she endured in the production crew. He would always comfort her, cheer her up. His efforts touched her, uplifted her, and made her weep.
However, the man in front of her lacked Shen Liangnian’s warmth and good temper, but when she faced difficulties, he didn’t simply try to comfort her; he reminded her, she too, was a girl.
She understood what he was trying to say.
They were all women, and she was entitled to the same treatment that others could enjoy… Since nobody had ever spoken up for her before, he would not accept any pleas for mercy or kind words on Zhou Nan’s behalf!
These thoughts shook Jing Haohao’s core, making her shiver violently.
In tears, Zhou Nan pleaded, “Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang, I know I was wrong. Please, give me one more chance. I swear, I’ll never dare to do it again…”
There’s an old saying, “to err is human, to forgive, divine”. But at this moment, Liang Chen, eyes full of determination, aimed to establish Jing Haohao’s reputation. The entertainment industry had a broad reach, and he wanted to let everyone know that Jing Haohao was a woman under his protection!
“So, are you saying that you’ve chosen to completely disappear from the entertainment industry?” Liang Chen showed no pity as he coldly smirked, pulling out his phone as if preparing to make a call.
