Li An’an didn’t want to bother with these things. She was even too lazy to read about them. Chu Yichen was drunk yesterday. Who knew who he was with? She didn’t wish to care.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhang shrieked. “An’an the company has issued a document to hold the person who spread the rumors accountable! No one in the company will dare to talk about you in the future. The CEO treats you so well. You’re the first to receive such treatment.
Li An’an turned on her computer to look through the internal documents. Sure enough, she saw the solemn statement put out by the company.
Why was Chu Yichen being so nice to her? Was he worried that she would not be submissive? Indeed, she would not be submissive. She leaned back in her chair and drank her coffee in silence.
Lu Ming called.
“Let’s meet and talk. Otherwise, I’ll bring Uncle and Auntie to see you.”
Lu Ming was running out of patience. Even though she had vehemently denied it and her identity seemed legit, he knew that she was Li An’an.
Li An’an was furious. What was he trying to do? Wasn’t he already preparing to marry Li Xinyi? Why was he still interfering in her matters? She took her phone and went to the pantry to continue the call.
“CEO Lu, if you continue to pester me, I’ll have to call your fiancée. Do you want her to marry you with tears in her eyes?”
“An’an, I’m doing this for your own good. Beauty pageants aren’t suitable for you. You have a simple personality and will be taken advantage of.”
Li An’an accidentally got scalded by the hot water and took the phone with her other hand. “That’s my business. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“And don’t you miss Uncle and Auntie? They took you in from an orphanage. If they knew that you were still alive and wouldn’t come home, how sad and disappointed would they be?”
Li An’an recalled Liu Luhua and Li Chong’s disgusting faces and felt nauseous. She threw the unfinished water into the trash can.
“Are you talking about CEO Li and his wife from Jiahua Industries? No way. The two of them look like they are full of vigor in the newspapers. How could they be sad when their lives are so comfortable?” Her tone was dripping with sarcasm. She could guess that when the news of her death was announced, the two of them must have pretended for a while, but then completely put it aside and continued their luxurious life.
Lu Ming caught her slip-up. “How do you know who Uncle and Auntie are? I’ve never mentioned them. You still refuse to admit that you’re An’an?”
“There’s nothing strange about that. Don’t the newspapers always carry news about them and their daughter? Since you said I looked like her, I made a special effort to find out. I didn’t spot the so-called inconsolable grief and distress.”
Lu Ming hurriedly explained, “You’ve misunderstood. Auntie has been devastated by your death. She’s only gotten better in the past two years. Xinyi only pulled herself together and entered the entertainment industry after being dispirited for a while. They’re all…”
Li An’an interrupted him impatiently. “These things have nothing to do with me. CEO Lu, please don’t call me again. Even if we meet in the future, let’s pretend that we don’t know each other. After all, I’ve just stepped into the entertainment industry. It’s not good for either of us to start a scandal. CEO Lu, you have to maintain your affectionate persona. It’s good for everyone.” Lu Ming was rendered speechless.
Li An’an hung up the phone decisively. Just as she was about to put her phone back into her pocket, it was snatched away.
She did not know when Chu Yichen had entered the lounge. No wonder she felt that the surroundings had suddenly become quiet.
“How much of the conversation did you hear?”
“From the start of the call. Didn’t you say that you met him through express delivery? He is still pestering you.” Chu Yichen lowered his tone like a man who had caught his cheating wife.
Li An’an watched in shock as Chu Yichen scrolled through her phone. There was a text message from Lu Ming. He must not see it.
She jumped up and tried to snatch it from Chu Yichen, but he raised his hand and she couldn’t do anything..
