The Long-awaited Mr Han

“It’s not here yet?” Xia Qingyang was a little stunned. “That’s weird, it has already been so many days, even the slowest courier would have already sent it by now. Besides, that is a contract! Wouldn’t they have used a more reliable courier?”

Lu Qi murmured anxiously, “What if Ji Cheng is playing with me? For his movie, I’ve already rejected the television show. I haven’t filmed anything for such a long time. After much effort, I finally got a television show. If not for his movie, I would have taken it long ago!”

If she didn’t have the movie and lost the television too, what would happen!

Xia Qingyang was getting worried too. “Do you think that he’s taking revenge on you? You suddenly asked to increase your pay right before you enter the production crew, so he must be intentionally keeping you hanging, causing you to lose so much?”

Lu Qi’s expression turned fierce. “That’s because you requested it!”

The more Lu Qi thought about it, the angrier she became. “It’s all your fault! Why did you ask for a pay hike out of nowhere? You’ve ruined a perfectly good opportunity! You said that if you become my manager, we could save some costs and you would also have something to do too and that you won’t have to be disconnected from the rest of society by staying at home and get despised by Dad. Great, I agreed with you, but you can’t even do this properly! If I knew about this earlier, no matter what you said, I wouldn’t have agreed to let you become my manager! You can’t do anything, and you know nothing, but you have to pretend to be so capable. If you don’t know anything, can you at least not create a mess for me!”

On the other hand, Xia Qingyang was adamant on not admitting her mistake. “What are you saying? Aren’t I doing all this for you own good? Who knew that Ji Cheng would turn out to be so terrible? Besides, nothing is confirmed right now, why are you blowing up at me! You were dumb for rejecting that television show so soon, yet you still have the cheek to blame me?”

“Mom! When can you actually help me instead of creating more problems for me!” Lu Qi stomped her feet in anger, she was really fatigued from the stress. “Tell me, what exactly have you done right recently! When have you not create more problems for me? Because of you, my reputation has only gotten worse and worse!”

Lu Qi couldn’t understand it either. In the past, her mother was a rather smart person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to snatch her father from Xia Qingwei and keep him tied securely to her.

Why did she change so much recently?

Actually, it wasn’t that Xia Qingyang had changed a lot, but rather Lu Man was really too tough of a competitor.

Lu Qi was in a pensive mood. It seemed that since she intended to harm Lu Man and send her to jail, nothing good ever happened to them, and instead, Lu Man only became more and more successful.

This was crazy!

“I have to go out for a bit.” Lu Qi didn’t even bother with any disguise like sunglasses or a face mask.

Haha. Anyway, even if she put on make-up now and left right now, no one would be able to recognize her either.

Lu Qi thought sarcastically, mocking herself.

She then went to He Zhengbai’s work studio. Even though He Zhengbai was in his first years of his Masters, he already had his own studio. His family had invested in it, letting him shoot some films.

“Brother He.” When Lu Qi entered He Zhengbai’s office, she saw him busy reading a script.

“Qi Qi.” He Zhengbai raised his head up and waved at her.

“Brother He, what happened to your face?” Lu Qi was shocked to see the bruises, patches of blue and green smattered across He Zhengbai’s face.

Although the bruises looked a little paler and weren’t as swollen as before, it was still rather frightening.

“Hmph!” He Zhengbai huffed angrily. “It’s all because of Lu Man. She’s going to Film Academy now. That day, I was just on my way to school and saw her. Yet who knew that she couldn’t let go about us getting together and started hitting and kicking me. I couldn’t do anything back in front of so many people either.”

“She went too overboard!” Lu Qi touched his face, feeling sad and heartache. “Is it still painful now?”

“It’s alright.” He Zhengbai held onto Lu Qi’s soft hand. “It just looks frightening.”
