“Lu Ming, have you forgotten that you have to accompany me for the wedding dress selection today? If we can’t find a suitable dress, we’ll have to customize one as soon as possible!” Li Xinyi acted coquettishly. Recently, their relationship had been smooth-sailing. They were practically a model couple in the entertainment industry.
“Alright, give me a moment. I need to make a call.”
Li Xinyi sat on Lu Ming’s sofa and waited. Lu Ming was frustrated. He had made a few calls but hadn’t been successful in getting Li An’an to be taken out of the competition. Furthermore, this time round, this was an event by Chu Enterprise’s entertainment company.
Li Xinyi was peeking at Lu Ming’s email. When Lu Ming was studying abroad previously, he was often courted by women. She had no choice but to take precautions. After confirming that there was no problem, she logged out.
Lu Ming was defeated, but Li Xinyi walked out of the office with a smile. “Lu Ming, I’ll be upset if I’m kept waiting any longer, and I’ll change my mind about marrying you.”
Lu Ming smiled. “Honey, my fault. Xinyi, has your company been planning to sign new contracts lately?”
Li Xinyi became cautious. “Why? Is there someone you wish to recommend? We don’t just take on anyone.”
Lu Ming was deep in thought. Li An’an had refused to come clean with her identity. It would be better if she were to join Xinyi’s company, and have Xinyi take care of her. Only, he was worried that she would refuse to sign the contract.
“A rookie with great potential”
“Who would that be? A man or a woman? Is she as beautiful as me?” Li Xinyi was jealous. She was about the sweetest thing in the entertainment industry. Which b*tch had Lu Ming taken a fancy to?
“We’ll talk about it next time. Don’t worry, just a friend.”
“Can’t you tell me now?”
Lu Ming hesitated for a moment before giving her a passionate kiss. “Not now. She seems unwilling. Let me talk to her first.’
Li Xinyi clenched her fists tightly. “Okay, you have to introduce us next time.”
“What’s wrong, daughter? Why are you throwing a tantrum the moment you come home? Are you not satisfied with the wedding dresses you viewed?” Liu Luhua asked as she came downstairs to coax her.
“Mom, Lu Ming has been acting weird lately. I suspect he’s hooked up with some woman.”
Liu Luhua shook her head. “That’s impossible. You know what Lu Ming is like. He’s a serious and decent man. He wouldn’t do such things.”
“But today he was actually asking if our company could take on a female artiste. What do you think is on his mind?”
Liu Luhua looked surprised. “We have to be cautious. I’m just afraid that he’ll meet the sort of indecent women who would act innocent and take advantage of him. Lu Ming wouldn’t be able to deal with such tactics.”
The mother and daughter sat on the sofa and discussed, but ultimately were not able to figure out who that artiste may be. Lu Ming did not frequent any places apart from work and home.
“Then we’ll just have to wait for that bitch to make an appearance.”
Liu Luhua smiled at her daughter. “My daughter won’t be defeated.”
Li Xinyi was put in a much better mood. “Of course, I got rid of Li An’an back then. Speaking of which, Mom, did you get the jade pendant? Dad’s company needs to turn over some cash, and the Lu family’s company isn’t doing well at the moment. I can’t bring up the topic about money.”
Liu Luhua seemed annoyed at the mention of this. “The principal says she’s misplaced it, but I don’t believe her. I think she’s lying to me. I’ll bribe the people there and ask them to think of a way to get it. You may address it with the Lu family when the time is right, best after your wedding. Anyway, everything in the family will be yours in the future. They’re only helping themselves when they help us! By the way, tomorrow is Li An’an’s death anniversary . I’ll have to put on an act. Tell Lu Ming about this. We’ll have to be mindful and protect what he cares about.”
Li Xinyi was dissatisfied. “She’s been dead for a few years. Is there a need for
