Chapter 110: Looking for Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Meng Chuyuan knew who Ting Jiu was referring to. He was naturally referring to Qi Yan.
She responded without batting an eyelid. “I didn’t see her.”
“I’m sorry, Sister Chuyuan. I’ve caused you trouble.” If he had known earlier that Qi Yan was so difficult to get along with and was unwilling to team up with him, he would not have come for this episode.
Meng Chuyuan smiled and said, “There’s no trouble.”
It was not that she found it troublesome. It was just that these problems happened to unfold in front of her every time. Seeing that no one was willing to solve them, she really could not help but take the initiative to resolve them.
It was clearly a very small matter, but they had to make it so complicated.
Meng Chuyuan poured out the dirty water in the basin, washed her hands, put on her coat, and went out with them.
“Let’s go and eat.”
After a while, when they passed by the Liao sisters’ house, they saw that the sisters had not left the house yet, so they invited them to come along.
Ting Jiu was a lively person, he stood at the door and took a look inside. He said to them, “Sisters, let’s go and eat together.”
Hearing this, Liao Jiake turned around and saw that Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen were also there.
She smiled gently and asked curiously, “Are you going to eat now?”
Ting Jiu said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go eat first and come back to clean up later.”
“Okay.” The sisters packed up briefly and followed them out.
When they arrived at the venue arranged by the production team, everyone found their seats and sat down. While waiting for the dishes to be served, they took a break.
Meng Chuyuan poured herself a glass of water. After sitting down, she belatedly looked at Lu Jinsen.
If she remembered correctly, this kid hadn’t said a word to her today.
She found it a little strange that Lu Jinsen could be so secretive.
Regarding her cameo in the movie, Lu Jinsen had not taken the initiative to tell her anything yet. They were already here to film the variety show, but he was still keeping it under wraps.
Perhaps because her gaze had stayed on him for too long, Lu Jinsen sensed that something was wrong. He looked at Meng Chuyuan in confusion.
He frowned and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Meng Chuyuan took a sip of water and said unhurriedly, “I realized that you might be hiding something from me. Let’s see how long you can hold it in.”
[What the f*ck?! What’s going on? I’m a little curious.]
[What does Sister Meng mean? I don’t understand.]
[I don’t understand either. Did I miss something? Why do I feel like I’m not connected to the internet?]
[The person in front, I’m also sobbing.]
‘ Lu Jinsen could not recall what she was referring to.
Because when the director mentioned that he wanted Meng Chuyuan to cameo in that movie, he did not pay much attention to it.
He didn’t want everyone to misunderstand after the broadcasting of the movie and think that he had relied on connections to get his role. Therefore, he didn’t want to mention this to Meng Chuyuan.
As for his manager, he could only apologize to her.
Everyone had been sitting at the dining table for a while. Qi Yan only arrived when the dishes were about to be served.
After she appeared, the other guests looked over curiously.
At this moment, there was only one empty seat which was beside Liao Jiake and it happened to be next to Meng Chuyuan as well.
Qi Yan walked over slowly. When she saw Meng Chuyuan on the right, her footsteps slowed down.
Liao Jiake pulled the chair out for her considerately and said gently, “Sister
Qiyan, why are you only here now?”
“The roads are too confusing. I can’t figure out the direction.”
After leaving her house, every other house and crossroad looked similar to her. If not for the villagers giving her directions, she might not have been able to find this place.
There was only one seat at the moment, so Qi Yan could only sit down at that spot.
As soon as she appeared, the atmosphere clearly changed. It was completely different from before.
[Before she appeared, everyone was chatting happily. After she came, even the air has seemingly become stale.]
[Pfft, hahahaha, I hope she can feel the instant silence after her arrival.]
[Help! I’m already starting to feel awkward through the screen. Looks like everyone doesn’t like her very much.]
[I thought it was some rich young lady who had arrived, with that posture of hers. I didn’t expect it to be Qi Yan, who has the airs of a rich young lady.]
[I’m guessing, with her here, the food on the table probably won’t be tasting as good, hahaha.]
Meng Chuyuan did not care about these issues. She had never been afraid of awkward situations and was not easily influenced by others.
The director had been watching the live-stream the entire morning. He had also seen Qi Yan’s actions.
Before the meal started, the director even called her away secretly to discuss something with her.
Qi Yan and the director arrived outside the venue. At this moment, there were no cameras or other staff following them.
The director placed his hands behind his back and chatted with her calmly.
“After dinner, move back into your original house quickly.”
“I’m not moving.” Qi Yan firmly refused the director’s request.
If she staved with Menz Chuvuan, the audience would only compare them.
She would never fall for such a trick.
“I understand that you don’t want to live with Ting Jiu. Now, we’ve already switched him out with Meng Chuyuan, what else do you want?”
Qi Yan said, “I just want to live alone. Are you going to give in or not?”
In the previous episode, she had been scolded by the audience. Coincidentally, Qi Zhen happened to be working this episode. If she did not come because Qi Zhen took leave, she would probably be maliciously misunderstood.
Qi Yan felt that being able to arrive on time to film the variety show today was already her greatest concession.
The director thought about it. There were only two days left. He would let her be.
Anyway, Qi Zhen would be back after tomorrow’s filming.
After a while, Qi Yan returned to the dining table and started eating after the dishes were served.
Today’s meal was provided by the production team. The guests could eat freely as they listened to the production team’s brief on the arrangements for this afternoon’s mission.
Meng Chuyuan did not eat much today. While everyone was still eating, she had already put down her bowl and chopsticks.
She rummaged through her bag, wanting to find a tissue, but instead unexpectedly found a small piece of paper. Curious, she opened it and saw that it was a string of phone numbers.
This was the number Uncle Wang that from the fishing village had left for her last time.
. ‘ How could she have forgotten about this?
Meng Chuyuan stared at the note in a daze for a while, thinking to herself that Madam Lu should be able to help her resolve this matter. However, Madam Lu had gone to the company today and Meng Chuyuan did not know what the situation was like over there.
After a while, Meng Chuyuan looked up at Lu Jinsen and asked curiously, “Can you remember Mom’s phone number?”
Lu Jinsen was stunned for a moment before he nodded. “What’s wrong?”
Meng Chuyuan borrowed a phone from the production team and said that she wanted to make a call. Then, she handed the phone to Lu Jinsen. “Call Mom. I have something to discuss with her.”
“Oh.” Lu Jinsen put down his bowl and chopsticks and took the phone from Meng Chuyuan. Then, he entered a string of numbers.
At this moment, Madam Lu was sitting in the office with her hands on her temples. She raised them slightly, forcing herself to open her eyes to look at the documents on the table.
Hearing her phone ring, Madam Lu snapped back to her senses..
