My Wife is My Life!

“I’m not asleep yet,” she said to the phone. Ji Qingqing got up and opened the door.

Qin Yue was breathing pretty hard when he walked into the room. He walked straight to Lu Lixing, but he didn’t seem surprised to see Deputy Director Lin here. He thought that the deputy director was here to discuss with Lu Lixing.

“President Lu, I’m sorry. I was very busy when you called me, so I didn’t pick up. Do you want me to help you check out a room?”

“President Lu?” Deputy Director Lin looked at Qin Yue blankly, “Who is he?”

Qin Yue was puzzled by Deputy Director Lin’s question, “You didn’t know? Then, let me introduce him to you. This is President Lu; he is the president of our company.”

Everyone knew that Tianyu Entertainment was owned by the Lu Family. There was only one heir to the Lu Family’s fortune and that was the one and only President Lu.

The man sitting in front of him was Lu Lixing.

Who didn’t know Lu Lixing’s name? He was extraordinary and talented in the field of business. He had an extremely high status, so it was impossible for people to freely meet him in person.

When he suddenly recalled what he had said just now, Deputy Director Lin’s heart rate sped up unnaturally. He sucked in a cold breath of air and remained dazed for a few seconds when he finally stood up from the sofa. Deputy Director Lin looked at Lu Lixing in shock and asked, “President Lu? A-are you…President Lu?”

Lu Lixing looked up at him coldly and said, “Deputy Director Lin, I believe you haven’t finished talking yet. Why don’t you sit down and continue?”

Deputy Director Lin felt very guilty and nervous. He glanced at Ji Qingqing and swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

He knew that the man wasn’t of an ordinary status since he appeared in Ji Qingqing’s room in the middle of the night. After all, it was very common for a small-time actress to gain a financial backer in the entertainment industry. Ji Qingqing’s previous financial backer was Gu Shaoyu, but he never thought that her new financial backer would be Lu Lixing!

When did Ji Qingqing become so capable that she managed to snatch Lu Lixing up as her backer? She was just an unknown actress, so how did she manage to do it?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

“That’s not true. President Lu, please listen to my explanation. What I said just now…” Deputy Director Lin wanted to say that what he had said just now was all false, but after he thought about it, he asked himself why he should lie and shoot himself in the foot? Besides, Ji Qingqing had quite a reputation in the entertainment industry due to her scandals. Lu Lixing should be aware of that since he was raising her as an actress to relieve his boredom. If he knew about her past, then he definitely wouldn’t take her seriously as a woman.

T/N: Raising – It’s implying that Lu Lixing is using his connection to provide resources, such as making sure she can get a good role in a movie/drama. In exchange for the resources and money, Ji Qingqing is providing intimate favors to him. Of course, we all know it’s not true. xD

However, Ji Qingqing claimed that she was Lu Lixing’s girlfriend and she even addressed him as her ‘hubby’, yet Lu Lixing did not deny either claim. Could that mean that Ji Qingqing was not being kept by Lu Lixing as he imagined?

After some careful consideration, Deputy Director Lin finally said, “President Lu, the deal I’ve previously mentioned was all conducted by Meng Xun. The conditions were also all set by her.”

“Does that mean that you’ve only negotiated with Meng Xun regarding the deal? Did you have any direct contact with Ji Qingqing regarding the deal?”

Deputy Director Lin’s attitude completely changed from before. Before, he acted arrogantly and condescendingly, but now, he was respectful when he spoke. “…That’s right. I never had any direct contact with Ji Qingqing about the deal.”

Although Qin Yue didn’t hear the complete conversation, he was able to understand what they were talking about from bits and pieces they conversed about just now.

Meng Xun. A deal with conditions.

Lu Lixing’s expression did not change when he asked, “If I’m not present here tonight, what would you have done?”

“That…” Deputy Director Lin shuttered and stalled as he said, “You have misunderstood! You really misunderstood my actions. I’m not a beast. I just…just…”

Just what?

He had clearly and plainly told them that he came here tonight to sleep with Ji Qingqing!

“President Lu, please don’t misunderstand. I just…I was just speaking nonsense. You know I wouldn’t have done that, right?”

Ji Qingqing relied on Lu Lixing’s backing to bully Lin Yue now, “You clearly said just now that you came here for the money. You wanted me to pay you one million yuan!”

Deputy Director Lin laughed awkwardly and said, “President Lu, I really…please, you have to believe me. I am a deputy director, so I know how serious this kind of offense is. How can I have such thoughts? I was only saying that to scare her…”

“So, you can confirm that you made a negotiation with agent Meng Xun from my company, right?”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

Lu Lixing nodded and said, “Okay, I understand. It’s getting late, so I won’t ask you to stay behind any longer.”

Deputy Director Lin smiled timidly. He didn’t dare to speak. His legs felt as soft as cotton as he walked one foot in front of another out of Ji Qingqing’s room.

After Deputy Director Lin left, Lu Lixing took out his phone that had been recording their conversation. He forwarded the audio recording to Chen Shuyi and texted him to investigate the matter.
