âThank you.â Jin Lan took them, her eyes a little red.
âDid Lu Mingjue bully you?â Qiao Weiyang asked. âDid he force you?â
During this period of filming, she knew that Jin Lan was not an easy woman.
âNo, no. He was really drunk. He was meeting a client yesterday. I went to propose a toast, and everyone got drunk. I donât know what happened, but I went back to my dressing room. Anyway, I donât blame him for anything.â Qiao Weiyang nodded. âI see. Since thereâs no mistake, the two of you should communicate well. â
âOkay, Sister Weiyang.â Jin Lan nodded.
She suddenly smiled again. âActually, when I looked at your resume the other day, I realized that Iâm a little older than you. But Iâm still willing to call you Sister Weiyang. Firstly, youâre more experienced than me. Secondly, you give me a sense of security.â
Qiao Weiyang laughed. âAlright, adjust your mood and see if you can film today. If not, tell the director.â
Jin Lan nodded.
After settling Jin Lanâs matter, Liang Long and Xiao Bao were brought in again.
Liang Kang could not continue to flare up. Since the two were in a relationship, he did not have to fire Jin Lan.
Jin Lan actually received a lot of criticism.
When she went to the fitting room to change her costume, she heard someone muttering, âJin Lan usually looks like such a decent person. I didnât expect her to have the guts to seduce Lu Mingjue!â
âIsnât she a famous bimbo? Even if Lu Mingjue gives her some resources, I donât know if she can handle them.
âBut I heard that Lu Mingjue admitted that sheâs his girlfriend. In that case, the people in the industry will still give him some face and give Jin Lan a chance, right?â
âSigh, she has it too easy. Once she opens her legs, resources will naturally come!â
When Jin Lan heard this, the blood in her face surged. However, when she thought about what had happened, she suppressed her anger.
The others were still discussing this matter in low voices. Jin Lan couldnât stand it anymore and sneaked out with her clothes.
Qiao Weiyang had just finished changing her clothes. Seeing her rush out, she asked, âYouâre done changing?â
âIâll get my assistant to pick up the clothes later.â She lowered her head as she walked away.
Qiao Weiyang had already guessed that it might be because of her scandal with Lu Mingjue.
In the end, this matter did not have a good impact. Qiao Weiyang could not stop others from saying anything.
It could only be slowly resolved as time passed.
Fortunately, after two or three days, the discussions started dwindling.
After work that day, Qiao Weiyang was packing her things. Jin Lan secretly approached her and asked softly, âSister Weiyang, can I ask you for a favor?â
âTell me.â
âI want to ask when Lu Mingjue will be here.â
âThings have been going smoothly here recently. The probability of him coming is not high. Why? Is there something you need from him?â
âI have something to return to him. So I thoughtâ¦â
âIâm sure you know the address of my studio. If you want to look for him, go straight over. Thereâs a high chance that heâll be there.â
âThank you, thank you!â
Although Qiao Weiyang only said a few words, it seemed to reassure Jin Lan.
âBut Jin Lan, as you know, youâre a public figure. Remember to avoid the paparazzi, â Qiao Weiyang reminded.
Jin Lan nodded heavily.
Looking at her receding back, Qiao Weiyang shook her head. Tao Huan said,
âCould it be that Jin Lan has really fallen in love with Brother Lu?â
âI canât guess what sheâs thinking,â Qiao Weiyang said. âLet them handle their own matters. Theyâre adults, after all. We canât interfere.â
After Jin Lan went out, she took a taxi and went straight to Qiao Weiyangâs studio.
On the way there, she was a little nervous. She kept sending WeChat messages to resolve the embarrassment in her heart.
Sensing that someone was following her, she bit her lip slightly but did not urge the chauffeur to drive faster. She knew that she could not shake off the people behind her.
Finally, she arrived at the building. After getting out of the car, she found the floor where the studio was located. After hesitating for a while, she took the elevator upstairs.
Sensing that the person behind her did not seem to have followed her in, Jin Lan did not know whether to be happy or worried.
When she saw the door of Qiao Weiyangâs studio, Jin Lan took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
It was a young woman who opened the door. She asked softly, âMay I ask who youâre looking for?â
âIâm looking for Lu Mingjue. I have something to discuss with him.â
âPlease wait a moment.â The woman turned around and asked, âBrother Lu, someoneâs looking for you. Should I ask her to come in?â
Lu Mingjue was pouring coffee when he heard the words. He walked to the door and saw Jin Lan. His expression changed slightly. âWhat are you doing here?â
âMr. Lu, I have something to talk to you about. Can you let me in?â Jin Lan quickly said.
Lu Mingjue glanced at the other people in the studio. He frowned and said, âCome to my office.â
Jin Lan immediately followed him. Seeing that the others were all engrossed in their work and no one cared about her at all, she felt less embarrassed. She knew that Lu Mingjue had to meet countless people at work every day.
After entering, Lu Mingjue said, âClose the door.â
Jin Lan closed the door obediently and stood in front of him.
He sat in his office chair with a cup of coffee in his hand. His usually relaxed expression was filled with impatience as he said, âWhy are you looking for me?
Do you regret not asking me for compensation that day?â
His tone was a little harsh, but Jin Lan did not particularly care.
She lowered her head and subconsciously grabbed her bag, not saying anything for a long time.
âWhy? Are you silent? If you have nothing to say, the door is over there.â Lu Mingjueâs tone was even more impatient.
âNo, no, no. I have something to say.â Jin Lan smiled at him. âCan you give me something to drink? Iâve been running around for a long time, and Iâm a little thirsty.â
Lu Mingjue said stiffly, âNo.â
She smiled ingratiatingly. âMr. Lu, Iâll just drink a little. Can you get someone to pour me a glass of water?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She smiled innocently and reached out to touch her throat. She looked really thirsty.
Knowing that she was acting, Lu Mingjue frowned slightly for a while. However, he still pressed the bell and asked his assistant to send a glass of water in.
âThank you.â Jin Lan took the glass of water and smiled happily.
She held the glass of water and sat down in the chair opposite Lu Mingjue. She took small sips.
Lu Mingjue was furious. âDidnât you say you were very thirsty? What are you waiting for?â
âItâs just that I have a small mouth and a small throat. I donât dare to drink too much. Besides⦠if I drink a little slower, I can sit here for a while longer. If I sit a little longer, I can see more of the person I want to see..â
