Lu Nanze paused at her words. “What do you mean?”

Pointing to Qiao Yiyi, Qiao Lian gave a cold laugh and said, “She slapped my right cheek. Are you here to slap my left cheek?”

Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank as his expression turned sharp and piercing.

He looked at her face and pursed his lips for a moment before he asked, “You’re saying... that she hit you?”

Smiling sarcastically, Qiao Lian said, “You’re here to get even for her, so don’t pretend you don’t know anything.”

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes.

He took a sudden step forward and reached out to grab her wrist. “Qiao Lian, I’m here to look for you.”

Look for her?

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank.

Then, Lu Nanze turned around and looked at Qiao Yiyi.

Startled, Qiao Yiyi widened her eyes and gulped fearfully. “Second Brother, don’t listen to her nonsense. I- I-”

Lu Nanze took a step forward and pressed up against her with a cold and menacing smile. “I’ll just ask you one question. Did you hit her?”

Qiao Yiyi wanted to shake her head and deny her deed, however, staring at his icy expression, the words would not come.

She finally opened her mouth to speak, “Yes, but it was because she- she provoked me first—”

Crack!

Before she could finish what she was saying, the slap came down mercilessly.

How could one compare a man’s strength with a woman’s?

Qiao Yiyi stumbled a few steps back from the impact before she regained her balance.

But that side of her face had turned numb.

Biting her lip, she called out, “Second Brother...”

But she hung her head when her gaze met with his ambiguous half-smile.

After hitting Qiao Yiyi, Lu Nanze turned back to Qiao Lian and said, “Now, can we talk normally?”

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank.

From a young age, Second Brother had been a cruel person.

After all these years, his vicious streak was still very much the same.

Even though it was Qiao Yiyi who he had slapped, Qiao Lian could almost feel the pain just listening to it happen.

She gulped and took a step back. Then without saying another word, she turned around and started running away.

This man was too terrifying.

He was terrifying to the extent that she didn’t even wish to speak with him. She didn’t wish to get into conflict with him!

As soon as she started running, Lu Nanze took a few steps forward and it didn’t take much for him to catch her. “Qiao Lian, why do you run when you see me?”

Qiao Lian was so nervous that her teeth were chattering now.

She found herself trembling.

This man sent shivers down her spine.

She looked at Lu Nanze with trepidation. “I- I-”

But no words came.

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Nanze glanced at the traditional costume she was wearing. “You like acting?”

Before she could answer, he continued, “I can make you the female lead in this film, it would only take a quick word from me.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yiyi turned and looked at them, shocked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qiao Lian taking over the female lead role?

Then what about her?

Qiao Yiyi clenched her fists tightly and bit her lip.

Qiao Lian, however, wanted to push him away. She struggled with all her might to try and break free of his grip. “Let me go, Lu Nanze, let me go!”

“Come with me.”

She jumped in fright when she heard his words.

Before she could utter another word, a large hand suddenly grabbed her waist and lifted her up. Then, Lu Nanze strode away!

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank in fear as a sense of hopelessness began to overtake her.

At this critical point, she desperately called out, “Zi Chuan! Help!”

Her sharp and crystal clear voice rang through the set and fell on Shen Liangchuan’s ears.
