Chapter 523 Dignity Is more Important than Dreams

“No fucking misunderstanding! My face has been bruised, and what misunderstanding can this be?”

Childe Wang in a Sao Paulo shouted angrily, showing him no respect.

Manager Fan’s face turned purple and red, and he felt extremely embarrassed, but he had no chance to talk with Childe Wang, so he pretended not to hear him and turned to Childe Lu with a poor look. “Can we go to a quiet place and talk?”

Childe Lu hesitated for a moment and followed him to a remote place. After hearing Manager Fan’s emotional and reasonable explanation, Childe Lu, who was still very unhappy, knew that if something happened to some of the participants, even his father would not be able to protect him, because Tianhai Entertainment was one of the organizers of the Campus-star Competition.

The threatening words he said just now were just words spoken in anger. If he really ignored the bad influence and behaved in his usual style, he would not come here every day to pursue girls. Instead, he would have forcibly taken them away and forced himself upon them.

Besides, this had nothing to do with them. This was the grudge between him and Ding Ning, and that woman, who looked ordinary but had a slender figure and fought well. He would never let the two of them off.

Unwillingly, he did Manager Fan a favor. After the latter extended his great gratitude, Childe Lu gathered his bad friends together to discuss this matter in whispers.

Although not all of them know each other, they got the same enemy and hatred today after being beaten, so they could be counted as allies. Soon, they liked each other and called each other brothers because they shared the same bad interest.

They were all Childes in the second- and third-class and often met each other. Since Childe Lu had proposed a request, they could not refuse him and let him lose face, so they all said that they could give up bringing trouble to the four beauties, but they must teach Ding Ning and Yagyuu Asamayu a good lesson.

Of course, they also clearly knew how much attention the Campus-star Competition had drawn. If they did dare to attack the competitors in broad daylight, they would never be able to bear the consequences.

After these playboys reached an agreement, Manager Fan was relieved and shouted at Lan Mengdie and her companions, “Childe Lu is a kind and generous man, and he will not quibble with you. Come and apologize to them.”

Lan Mengdie was happy, ready to go over and apologize with Pan Xiangyun, but was stopped by Ye Huan, who said firmly, “Why should we apologize? We were not wrong.”

“That’s right. We didn’t do anything wrong, so why should we apologize?”

Ye Le stubbornly raised her head and supported her sister.

“What are you doing, Huanhuan, Lele? We just need to make an apology, and we won’t lose anything.”

Lan Mengdie hurriedly tugged at Ye Huan and her sister, and then she turned around and said with a flattering smile to the dark-faced Manager Fan, “Manager Fan, I’m sorry. In such a short time, they could not throw off their airs, and let me replace them to say…”

Pan Xiangyun stood beside her, looking hesitant. The pride in her bones did not allow her to submit, but remembering her dream of becoming a star, she began to hesitate.

“If you want to apologize, just go yourself, and you can’t represent anyone, let alone them. My sisters have dignity. If they did nothing wrong, no one could make them submit and apologize. It is they who need to apologize.”

Ding Ning looked calm, but what he said was full of the unquestionable determination.

The site fell into a dead silence. Lan Mengdie looked at him in disbelief and screamed, “You are crazy. Do you know who Manager Fan is? He is Tianhai Entertainment’s…”

“I don’t need to know who he is. Even if he is God, he doesn’t have the right to ask my sister to apologize.”

Ding Ning glanced at her expressionlessly, and the indifference that ignored the world in his eyes made Lan Mengdie’s heart tremble.

Ye Huan and Ye Le’s faces were full of pride. They were proud of having such a brother.

Seeing the pride on the faces of Ye Huan and her sister with complicated feelings, Pan Xiangyun sighed enviously, “If only I had such a brother.”

“Clap, clap, clap, well said, young man, it’s good to have guts, but the one that is too hard is easy to get broken. That’s not good!”

A middle-aged bald man and these dozens of men and women around him pushed their way into the crowd, and the man clapped his hands. It seemed that his words were full of appreciation, but they contained a strong threat, in fact.

“This is Manager Zhang of Meteorite Entertainment.”

Some people in the crowd exclaimed, pointing out the identity of the visitor.

Before Ding Ning responded, a woman, who was full of domineering aura in her 40s and was surrounded by a group of people, walked over. With a proud face, she glanced at Ding Ning with contempt. “What an arrogant talk! Nowadays, all kinds of worthless people can even dare to come out and boast. Don’t you know your identity? No matter how hard your bones are, they will be broken. Although they are your sisters, you have no right to control their lives.”

“This is Director Zhou of Star Art. She is among the best agents in the entertainment industry. These years, she has brought up a lot of newcomers. She is in her golden time, but always treats others with contempt, and even Manager Zhang and Manager Fan have to show her some respect.”

Ding Ning could hear the whispers in the crowd, and he narrowed his eyes, where a chill appeared and vanished.

Although her words sounded sharp, they were not unreasonable. Being an actress was the dream of Ye Huan and her sister. Without getting their permission, he arbitrarily went to defend them, which was unfair to them.

He did not care about these people’s jeers. Instead, he looked at Ye Huan and her sister, with a questioning intent in his eyes.

Ye Huan and her sister looked firm and smiled at him, and Ye Huan said resolutely, “Brother, our lives are all yours. Since you are not welcome here, that is to say, we are not welcome. Now, I officially announce that I withdraw from the Campus-star Competition.”

“Me too. I also announce that I withdraw from the competition,” Ye Le also shouted without hesitation.

“Are you crazy? You worked so hard and then reached the semifinals! Obviously, you are only one step away from success. Is it really worth it to give up?” Lan Mengdie watched them in disbelief and shouted.

The expressions of the leaders of the three major entertainment companies changed dramatically, especially Director Zhou, who said just now that Ding Ning made the decision for the sisters, but she was immediately slapped loudly in the face by the reply of Ye Huan and her sister. Her face was burning with shame, and her eyes glinted with resentment.

Ye Huan looked at Lan Mengdie with a light smile and said indifferently, “Being an actor is indeed our dream, but what’s the point of that? My brother said that when people are alive, their dignity is more important than their dreams. We will not sell our dignity to go for the so-called dream, so there is nothing that is worth it or not worth it.”

“Dignity is more important than dreams?”

Pan Xiangyun seemed to have enlightenment as if she had thought something through. Suddenly, her expression became relaxed.

Ding Ning’s heart was filled with gentle warmth. Holding the hands of the two sisters, he asked softly, “Don’t you regret it?”

“Why do we regret it? Brother, you can afford to raise us, and we don’t lack food or clothing. Even if we are not stars, we can still do lots of things!” Ye Huan smiled gently and answered very simply.

“Right, but brother, you will have to raise us for a lifetime, and we will depend on you,” Ye Le stuck out her tongue mischievously and said happily, so that Ding Ning suddenly felt like he had been trapped.

Since the two sisters were so awesome, he got a great sense of heroic feelings. “No problem. Not to mention only raising you two, even if I raise more, I can afford it.”

“Really? Ningning, also count me in.”

Pan Xiangyun suddenly showed herself up with a smile and announced loudly, “I’m Pan Xiangyun. Now, I officially announce that I withdraw from the Campus-star Competition.”

Ding Ning looked at her with astonishment, but Pan Xiangyun winked at him playfully. “It’s too late to regret now. You will also have to raise me for a lifetime.”

“Bitch, you must have been thinking about getting my brother’s love for a long time, but I warn you, don’t date my brother!” Ye Le took Pan Xiangyun’s hand and joked.

Pan Xiangyun blushed slightly, averted Ding Ning’s eyes in a panic, and stamped her feet shyly. “Don’t, don’t talk nonsense! I think what Ningning said is right. Dignity is more important than dreams.”

“I welcome you to join us on behalf of my brother. You will be my younger sister in the future. I finally have a younger sister, haha!”

Ye Huan smiled, and Ye Le shouted happily and simply made the decision for Ding Ning. Anyway, she and her sister had decided to live with Ding Ning in this life, and they did not mind getting one more sister.

Ding Ning had a headache for a while. “I just came to see Ye Huan and her sister. Why did the matter get to the point where it is now? I came for the two sisters, but I see three because one is a newcomer. Surely, I can’t afford to offend beauties!”

Since Pan Xiangyun had even withdrawn from the competition to fervently support him, he could not disappoint her, so he had to brace himself to say bitterly, “Okay, I’ll raise you.”

“Hmm!”

Pan Xiangyun’s pretty cheeks turned red, and she replied shyly in a manner of a newly married wife, looking stunning, so that the onlookers’ eyes froze, and they growled wildly in their minds, “It is so unreasonable. You’ve gotten three stunning women as your lovers, but you seem not willing. You must have already been so happy, right? You are so shameless!”

Seeing that the three women and the man were talking about the issue of keeping a lover as if no one else was present, the leaders of the three major entertainment companies turned extremely sullen, and Childe Lu and his companions had flames of anger in their eyes, with a kind of envy that had almost driven them crazy.

Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, Lan Mengdie mumbled, “Crazy, they are all crazy.”

Although she said so, she suddenly had a touch of envy. “If I can be stronger, I will also be able to smile as happily as they do, right?”

Without the Huan-Le Combo and Pan Xiangyun, Lan Mengdie was sure to be the champion of this Campus-star Competition, but she was not happy at all. Such a champion was not what she wanted.

She closed her eyes slowly. When she opened them again, they glinted with determination. “Although the Huan-Le Combo and I are as close as sisters, this is about my future, and I cannot give up the glory I can easily get because of the so-called friendship. I only need to do the final blow! Even if the champion is a bit less valuable, it doesn’t matter. As long as an entertainment company signs a contract with me, I believe that with my strength, I will have quite a brilliant future of being a star.”

The leaders of the three major entertainment companies were quite sulky. Ye Huan and her two companions’ withdrawal from the competition would make a huge impact, causing the ratings to plummet and even leading to huge losses.

They would be severely punished by their companies, but that was not important, and what was important was that the big shots only favored the four girls! They could not bear the wrath of these big shots at all.

Therefore, they should never allow them to withdraw, but they would not lower their profile to entreat them. After quickly making eye contact, they decided to remain quiet, waiting for Childe Lu to take action.

As expected, Childe Lu could not restrain himself anymore and said with a grim smile, “Just now, I decided to do Manager Fan a favor and wouldn’t hurt you, but since you’ve now withdrawn from the competition, then you have no relationship with the competition. Men, come and get them!”

“Yes, Childe Lu!”

Gong Qiang laughed grimly and led his men to Ding Ning.

Pan Xiangyun instantly panicked, clenched Ding Ning’s arm subconsciously, and said anxiously, “What should I do?”

“It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. I will take care of everything.”

Ding Ning patted her hand gently to comfort her. His calmness soon infected her, and then she felt quite safe.
