Chapter 308: Untitled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Xinyi went to Zheng Yan’s room. “Zheng Yan, didn’t we agree that you’d vote Li An’an out this time? Why didn’t you do it? Is it fun to mess with me? Are you no longer interested in your endorsement deal?”
Zheng Yan sat on the bed in frustration. “Do you think I didn’t want to? Last night, Director Huang came to me personally. His meaning was obvious. Li Anan has a big sugar daddy behind her. He told me not to provoke her. Please don’t blame me for this. If I offend Xingsheng Entertainment, I won’t be able to survive in this industry!” With that, Zheng Yan left the room.
Li Xinyi was plagued by questions. Who was Li An’an riding on? Did Lu Ming know about this?
After leaving the room, she made a call. “Mom, did you say the last time you saw Li An’an, she had three kids with her?”
“Yes, one of the children stole the jade pendant!”
“Do you think she’s a kept woman? Could she have disappeared in the last five years because she had been pregnant and had kids?.”
“I suspect that’s a possibility, too. I’ll be there soon. We’ll find out when we ask her.”
Li Xinyi hung up the phone and went to Li An’an’s room. She knocked on the door but no one answered. She then went to Lu Ming’s room. A nurse was applying medicine to Lu Ming’s mouth.
Li Xinyi asked the nurse to leave while she took over the application. “Why didn’t you wake me up when you went to the beach yesterday! If you had, you wouldn’t have been lying unconscious on the beach all night.”
Lu Ming avoided her gaze. “I was worried that you’d be tired. I just planned to have a stroll then come back. You know that I’m usually very tired from work. It’s rare that I can come out here to relax. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen!”
Li Xinyi suddenly cried. “Lu Ming, I saw you and An’an going out yesterday. Why do you want to lie to me?” Li Xinyi threw aside the cotton swab in her hand and cried, looking very aggrieved.
Lu Ming felt guilty. “I’m sorry, I just wanted to ask An’an why she has become like this.”
Li Xinyi wiped her tears. “I knew it would be something like that and I don’t blame you. I will always believe you. What did An’an say yesterday? Did she misunderstand us?”
Lu Ming looked hesitant. He had promised not to let anyone know about what transpired last night.
“Lu Ming, I’m worried about An’an too. My mom knows that she’s still alive and is on the ferry, on her way here. But I don’t understand why she misunderstood us. Can you tell me what happened?”
Lu Ming looked at her intently. “She’s angry about what happened five years ago.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xinvi was so shocked that she dropped the medicine she was holding. “Don’t listen to her nonsense. We didn’t do anything.” Lu Ming narrowed his eyes. “An’an didn’t say anything.”
He studied Li Xinyi with a scrutinizing gaze. She was feeling guilty.
“Really? I thought she is still holding a grudge against my mother for introducing a boyfriend to her five years ago!”
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows. “Boyfriend?”
“Yes, he was an outstanding man. My mother thought he wasn’t a bad catch, so she wanted to introduce him to An’an. Perhaps she misunderstood because she thought we didn’t want her anymore?
Lu Ming, you must not listen to her nonsense. We treat her like one of us.
Sometimes, I even have to compromise and give way because we’re worried that she’ll suffer in our family. But it seems that we’ve hurt her anyway. I’m very sorry! Also, Lu Ming, I know you treat An’an like your sister, but we’re already engaged. Can you take my feelings into consideration? Don’t meet her alone in the future, okay?” Tears welled up in Li Xinyi’s eyes. Lu Ming felt guilty and held her in his arms.
“Don’t worry, it won’t happen again!”
