Chapter 227 - I Will Support You

“I got it.” Ning Qing counted the years that she has spent in the entertainment industry; it has already been 5 years. Meeting such a huge mater, she was good at controlling her own temper, and the expression on her face was calm and collected. But her beautiful eyes had an icy chill in them. “Announce that we will stop the filming of City of Love, and we will stop all of the activities of all the artistes. Tell all of them, when we settle the matter regarding Liu Wenlong, then we will all resume work.”

After that, Ning Qing added, “There are many lessons that they do not understand yet. Let me use this chance to let all of them learn this lesson completely!”

“Okay.” Xiao Zhou understood her instructions and left.

Ning Qing went back to her own room, and she stood before the sink to use cold water to wash her face, and she did not wipe the water droplets on her face. Both of her small hands were pinned down on the sink, and they were faintly white.

The studio had just been created, and her career was just starting to progress, but now that she met with such a huge roadblock. Everyone was waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation, and if she did not handle it well, she would be adding oil to the fire.

The entertainment industry was such a place where people were ruthless and greedy. It was easy to get fame overnight, and it was just as easy to ruin everything overnight.

What was she going to do now?

This morning, the phone in her pocket rang, and it was a number that she did not recognize. Ning Qing had a flash in her eyes, and she could guess who was it roughly.

“Hello, Mum.”

It was Song Yajing.

There was a light laugh that came over from the other end, “Ning Qing, what did you address me as? Did I acknowledge your status? Could you address me as Mother?”

“Mum, no matter whether you accept me or not, I am still Shaoming’s wife. You will be my mum forever.”

Song Yajing did not persist further, and she said, “Ning Qing, the thing that you should be doing now is not calling me Mother right now, the thing that you should be handling right now should be the matter involving Liu Wenlong. Now that everyone in the city is pinning their eyes on you, what are you going to do?”

“Mum, were the matters that happened to Liu Wenlong instigated by you?”

“Yes.” Song Yajing admitted to them honestly and continued saying, ” Two months ago when you entered into Guang Qing to curry Shaoming’s favour, I admit that you did have small tricks up your sleeve in the entertainment industry. Now that I have ruined your career and you are unable to lift up your head in the entertainment industry, would Shaoming still like the version of you right now? What do you have in your hands to impress Shaoming with?”

Ning Qing looked at her pale face in the mirror. She fluttered her long lashes that were like a butterfly’s wings, and she said slowly, “Mum, it is not the end right now. Who knows who will be the final winner. I will not bow down just because of this. I will prove to you that Shao Ming made the right choice.”

“Heh.” There woman on the other end scoffed. “Sure, then I will see what you are capable of doing.”

Song Yajing ended the call.

Ning Qing held onto her phone and suddenly felt her stomach hurt. Her small hand touched her abdomen that had gotten larger, and she felt like she was going to faint.

She turned to return back to her room. She wanted to go on the large bed to lay on it for a while, but she had not even made her way over when her line of vision turned black, and she slumped down onto the floor.

The intimate touch that she imagined that she would have with the carpet did not happen, as a muscular arm wrapped around her little waist, and her entire being was held by a mysterious warmth that surrounded her.

Her nostrils were filled with that familiar clean and crisp scent that made her mesmerized. Lu Shaoming?

“Ning Qing, what is wrong with you? Is your body feeling uncomfortable?” The man’s low and charming voice rang by her ear and it brought along a thick feeling of warmth and care.

Ning Qing hesitated slightly, and she lifted her gaze to look at the man. In her eyes were the man’s handsome features, her Lu Shaoming really did come back!

“Shaoming, why did you come back? Didn’t you go back to T City? I thought I was dreaming just now.”

“Silly girl.” Lu Shaoming’s bright eyes were full of concern, and his voice was soft and gentle. “You are not dreaming, I really came back. The car was on the highway when I heard the entertainment news, I thought that you would probably need me by your side at this time, so I came back.”

Ning Qing’s eyes were wet in a moment, and she stretched out her small hands to tightly grab onto his neck, and she nudged his chest with her small face.

“Shaoming,” she gently called out.

Lu Shaoming pick her up and placed her on the big, soft bed. She hugged his neck and was unwilling to let go, and he put one large hand around her slim waist. He used another hand to cover the fringe on her forehead gently, and he gently combed it backwards. “It’s only a minor matter. If you are unable to handle it, you can just retire from the entertainment industry; I will support you in the future.”

Ning Qing slowly lifted up her gaze, and she was like a piglet when she used her own small nose to nudge the high bridge of his nose as she said, “Shaoming, would you really support me?”

Lu Shaoming looked at her gentle and moist eyes that were bright and sparkling, and he had a gentle laugh as he said, “Why? Are you afraid that I am unable to support you, or you are unwilling to let me support you?”

“You are so irritating, you obviously know that I didn’t mean it that way.” Ning Qing punched his shoulder.

Her heart felt very very sweet. Her mother-in-law Song Yajing was still waiting for her to end up as a joke, and she was also waiting for Lu Shaoming to dump her, but her Lu Shaoming not only stayed by her said, he even said that he was going to support her.

Lu Shaoming pinned his large palm on her small hand. He lowered his gaze and kissed her fair fingertips.

He rarely kissed her hand. Before his memory-loss, when they were passionate in bed, he also had times when he was reckless, and she had a new meaning of what she knew as shame.

But after he lost his memory, there was no more of that. In her view, this was something more intimate than kissing, and her heart could not take it, so she withdrew her hand in shock.

Looking at the girl’s shy look with her heart beating furiously, Lu Shaoming bent down to kiss her lips and said, “Do you need me to help you handle the matter at hand?”

She had her own independence and freedom, so he had never interrupted her work, but if she was unable to handle them, he would definitely help her tie up the loose ends.

His woman only needed to fly, and when she was tired, she could perch on his shoulder to rest. If she ended up with any trouble, he would go to handle it. Actually, men and women were all very simple; it was just like that.

“I don’t need your help, I have thought of a plan myself. I have been in the entertainment industry for such a long time, so how can I end up with such a pitiful conclusion? There is no one who can come and look down on me, and that includes you.” Ning Qing poked his chest with her little pink-white hands.

“I do not look down on you, but don’t push yourself too hard. This matter has created a lot of fanfare, and there are many people discussing it. It is a very sensitive topic. At this time, the more you do, the more can go wrong,” the man reminded her gently.

“I know.” Ning Qing had a sparkling glow in her eyes as she said, “Shaoming, since you are here, there are two things that I would ask you to help me with.”

“Speak.”

“First, I want to find Liu Ling. Second, help me to look for Li Yi.”

Liu Ling was definitely in Song Yajing’s hands. It would be hard to find her, and Li Yi had hidden. She needed to find her quickly.

These two things could be easily handled by her, but she would need some time. If Lu Shaoming came to help, it would be a matter of a few seconds.

Now, she only wished for one thing — haste!

It was a situation where everything was collapsing towards one side, and she needed to act quickly.

“Okay, let me deal with them.” The man agreed.

Ning Qing still was a little worried as she said, “Shaoming, Li Yi has disappeared. I don’t know where she would go to. It will probably be hard to find her, you…”

“Don’t worry, as long as she is still alive, I will find her very quickly.” The man was firm and clear with his words.

Ning Qing hugged him with satisfaction. Her red lips nudged towards his neck as she said, “Shaoming, thank you. Thank you for being by my side at this moment.”

…

There were quick developments in the search for Liu Ling, and Ning Qing brought Xiao Zhou along to go check on it.

The two of them go in a limo, and Xiao Zhou looked outside the window as she said, “Ning Qing, there are journalists following us.”

Ning Qing pressed the knitted cap on her head lower and laughed as she said, “Xiao Zhou, do you know who the main character of the matter involving Liu Wenlong is?”

“Of course! It is Liu Wenlong, then it is you.”

“Wrong, the main character is the…journalists! So, if they do not stalk us, how would this matter go on?”

…

At this moment, Liu Ling was in a luxury condominium unit. She was controlled by Song Yajing, and she did not allow her to go out, but in the afternoon, she was hungry, and she did not want to cook a meal herself, so she dialed for a delivery.

Very quickly, there was a Ding!, and the sound of the doorbell rang through the room.

“It’s here.” Liu Ling had a mask on her face, as she was afraid of being recognized by others, and she went to open the door.

After she opened the door, the smile on her face froze. Hidden behind the delivery man were two others — Ning Qing and Xiao Zhou.

Liu Ling was flustered and wanted to shut the door immediately.

“Liu Ling, you are still thinking of running away?” Xiao Zhou ran forward and pushed Liu Ling down. She then tugged her hair and dragged her into the living room.

Ning Qing took out a hundred dollar bill from her bag and elegantly tossed it to the deliveryman who was shocked beyond words. “It’s a tip, you don’t have to look for change.”

Ning Qing shut the main doors with a bang.

The delivery man: “…” Women were really capable in battle. He was flabbergasted and shocked.

…

Liu Ling was dragged into the living room, and her scalp was in pain from the tugging. She immediately begged and said, “Director Ning, Older Sister Zhou, what do you two want to do? It was Liu Wenlong who slept with me. I am also a victim…”

Upon hearing her words: Pa! Ning Qing gave Liu Ling a tight slap.

Liu Ling was in a daze after being slapped. Her left cheek was in great pain, and she was a little numb. It was clear that Ning Qing had used a huge amount of strength, “Director Ning, you actually dare to hit me?”

Ning Qing threw the bag in her hands onto the sofa. The corners of her lips curled up into a thin smile and she rolled up her sleeves. She had the posture of a boss as she said, “If I were to hit anyone, it would be you. A woman like you needs to be hit. No matter how much I hit you, it is still not enough!”

After she spoke, Ning Qing cruelly gave Liu Ling another slap.

Liu Ling was very furious. She was also not an easy person to break, and she said, “If you two dare to hit me, come, I will show you how good I am.”

Liu Ling could not care less about the pain in her scalp as she stood up from the floor in a flash. She was a gangster in the past, and she has never lost a fight.

She ran forward and fought with Ning Qing. The two of them rolled onto the sofa, and Liu Ling’s long nails left a long gash on Ning Qing’s face. She held onto Ning Qing’s elbow, and the expression on her face was fierce as she said, “Ning Qing, why do you have to come and hit me? Aren’t you basking in the fact that Young Master Lu likes you? We are both working in the entertainment industry. We even resemble one another so much. Why I am unable to get my hands on what you could get? You are the Big Director Ning whom everyone is chasing after, but I am only suited to be a minor character?”

Xiao Zhou went forward to pull Liu Ling away, Ning Qing coughed twice as she came forward to Liu Ling, and she started to continuously slaps Liu Ling as she said, “Liu Ling, are you perverted inside your heart? How can you compare yourself with me? What do you have to compare yourself with me? You are really such a joke.”

The three women concluded their fight in a half an hour’s time. No matter how strong Liu Ling was, she was still unable to gain the upper hand when outnumbered like this, so Liu Ling lay down in the living room, covered with wounds. Ning Qing brought Xiao Zhou out the door.

The two of them returned to the limo and Xiao Zhou told Ning Qing about the news that she had just received. “Ning Qing, we have found something out. In the last two hours of the final competition of the audition programme, the judge who gave the gold ring to Liu Wenlong secretly went into Li Yi’s room and left with unkempt clothes an hour later.”
