Does he know?

Could it be that he found out about this matter and came back immediately from abroad to settle the score with her?

Li Yang's heart felt as if it were in a frying pan, being turned over and over, fried and fried again, fried and fried again and again …

Lu Chi Mo picked up the sandwich on his plate and ate it slowly. There was no change in his expression, and he didn't even look at her again.

If not for the content of the words, even Li-Yang suspected that he wasn't talking to her.

Although Lu Qimu no longer said anything, Li Yang's heart was tormented to the point where he almost couldn't breathe.

She did not understand what Lu Chi Mo's intention was, and did not dare to ask.

Her heart was filled with fear. Her hands gripped the bowl tightly, not daring to move an inch.

The atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme.

Lu Qimu finished his breakfast, stood up and walked upstairs.

Li Yang thought for a while and finally put down the bowl of porridge and followed her.

Lu Qimu was in the cloakroom. When Li Lang walked in, his bony fingers were buttoning the cuffs on his sleeves.

The weather was not hot today, and the breeze from the window was refreshing.

The curtain was slightly raised, half floating in the air …

His expression became all the more solemn …

Li-Yang opened the glass cabinet, selected a dark blue tie for him, and walked up to him.

Lu Qimu ignored her and continued buttoning the other sleeve. He glanced at her and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

"Oh." Li Yang took another step forward before standing on his tiptoes and patiently putting on his tie.

She was very close to him, and he could touch her white forehead with just a little bit of movement.

Li Yang felt his breath turn hot, and his hands couldn't help but tense. It wasn't until his toes became numb that he could finally tie the general up properly.

Ever since he had asked her to study, she had searched for videos online and practiced for a long time.

However, it seemed that it wasn't that good.

Sure enough, Lu Qimu glanced in the mirror, frowned in disgust and said coldly, "Learn again."

Li Yang slightly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I will continue to learn."

Lu Qimu put on his suit jacket and took out a watch from the side. Li Yang recognized Tourbillon at a glance. Tourbillon, a Swiss clockmaker, had spent years and effort on his work. It was the only piece in the world.

He dressed himself and prepared to leave.

Li Yang could not figure out the meaning behind Lu Qimu's words.

It had been a while, and he didn't mention it again.

Li Yang felt even more flustered. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve. "Mr. Lu …"

Lu Qimu turned around and glanced at the little hand that was holding her sleeve with annoyance.

His eyes were looking at her like she was trash.

Li Yang quickly let go and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Mr. Lu, I've already signed the contract …"

Lu Qimu's icy voice sounded above her head. "Withdraw."

"But …" Li Yang hesitantly opened his mouth, "I …" "I don't have that much money …"

After her mother was discharged from the hospital, she was no longer as healthy as she was before. She had to have someone to take care of her all the time.

In the capital city of the B city, the cost of renting a house and finding a babysitter was especially high. The money from the previous movie and the money from the company had been very little, and in addition to the expenses, she was running out of money.

If she did not accept it, not only would she not receive any income, but she would also pay a huge penalty.

Where did she get the money?

Did she need to reach out to Lu Qimu for it?

He had spent a sky-high price to buy her, and she was Qin Xi'er's substitute.

She had already lost her dignity in front of him. Could it be that she wanted to become even more despicable?

She didn't want to.

Lu Qimu did not speak for a moment. The room was silent.

Li Yang was so nervous that he could only hear the sound of her heart beating.

It struck her again and again …

Just as she was on the verge of breaking down from her torture, Lu Qimu coldly said, "Five million for the breach of contract fee. I'll pay it for you."

"No …" Li Yang reflexively refused.

However, Lu Qimu didn't pay any attention to him. He squeezed out word by word from the gaps between his teeth and said, "10,000 yuan, overnight."

"I should let you have a good memory. Don't mess with me."

10,000 yuan in one night?

In other words...

Li Yang was so shocked that he quickly retreated, "No!"

Lu Chi Mo reached out his hand and grabbed her body, leaving her nowhere to run.

"Are you resisting me?" His eyes carried a ghastly dark hue, while a chilling, silent glow shone from the corner of his lips.

Li Lang lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling. "I'm begging you, please don't do this to me …"

Lu Qimu sneered. "What qualifications do you have to beg me?"

"Anyway, you sold it to me a long time ago." "I don't think it matters to you to sell it a few more times."

"Mister Lu." Li Yang didn't dare to look at him, his pale lips moving miserably. "In the future, I won't act on my own."

Lu Qimu's slender fingers passed through her thick hair and stubbornly pulled her head towards him, forcing her to look at him. "You dare to have a future?"

Her eyes filled with tears, but she tried so hard not to let a drop flow out, and the feeling of upset began to engulf him again. His fingers tightened, and her scalp began to hurt.

His eyes were wide open, filled with clear liquid, and he looked both innocent and pitiful.

He coldly said, "If you want to film, then film it for the best. Don't embarrass me, otherwise, I will skin you a layer of skin."

With that, he let go and left in large strides without looking back.

Li Yang stood in a daze for a long time.

When she finally reacted, Lu Qimu was no longer in the room.

Lu Qimu actually let her off so easily. This was within her expectations. Moreover, the meaning behind his words seemed to have allowed her to film this movie?

Why? Didn't he always loathe her for doing the same thing as Qin Xi'er? In fact, this time, she was going to play a TV show with her …

Li Yang blinked, tears finally flowing down her pale cheeks …

She couldn't care less what made Lu Qimu agree to this. At the very least, this would be the best result, wouldn't it?

Since she couldn't figure out Lu Qimu's intentions, she decided not to make any guesses.

She was going to do as he said and do her best to act the part so that he wouldn't lose face.

Li Yang suddenly remembered that 'Young Master' was on today, but Fu Xiaoya did not call her. She touched herself and realized that she did not have her cellphone with her.

Li Yang found his phone in Lu Qimu's room. He pressed a few buttons, but the screen was still black.

There should be no electricity.

She took the phone back to her room and plugged it in.

Not long after, his phone's screen lit up and he switched it on.

On the screen, there were countless missed calls. Other than Fu Xiaoya, almost all of them were from Tang Guo'er.

When he thought of what happened last night, a warm feeling rose in Li Yang's heart. All this time, she knew that Tang Guo'er truly viewed her as a friend, but she never thought that her position in Tang Guo'er's heart was even more important than she imagined.

Last night, in that situation, she was even scared to tears by Lu Qimu. Because she was worried about herself, she would rather keep on crying than to leave.

Even she was scared of Lu Qimu, so much so that she didn't dare to offend him.

There was also a text message and countless WeChat messages displayed on his phone.

The text message was sent by Fu Xiaoya, so she chose to read it first.

Fu Xiaoya told her that she would not have to go to the theatre if there was no part for her today. However, she had to go to the theatre that would be arranged tomorrow.

Almost all of the WeChat messages were from Tang Guo'er.

But he opened it anyway, listened patiently, and called her back.

The phone had only rung twice when the other party quickly picked it up.

When Tang Guo'er answered the phone, she began to crackle like popping beans.

"Waves!" Where are you right now? Why did you only just call me back? What happened last night? I was scared to death! Did that CEO Lu hit you? How long have you been drinking last night? "You all …"

"Guo'er!" Li Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He interrupted her, "You're asking me so many questions, which one should I answer?"

"Ripple …" Tang Guo'er's voice was filled with tears as she said, "I'm really worried about you …"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Li Yang's eyes were red, but he still tried to comfort her with a smile. "I drank too much last night, so I went straight home. I forgot to tell you, I worried you …"

"Waves, it's good that you're fine!" Tang Guo'er let out a clear sigh of relief and began to curse Lu Qimu nonstop. She didn't seem to know Lu Qimu's identity, otherwise, she wouldn't dare to curse him again even if she had ten times the guts.

After Tang Guo'er completely vented her anger, she chatted with Li Yangdong for a while before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Lying on the bed, Li Yang took out two birth control pills from the drawer and ate them. She continued to read the script for the tenth time.

In a luxurious private room in the Royal Court of the 20th century.

There were about twenty people inside.

Lu Chi Mo was leaning against a corner and smoking. His entire body was emitting a cold aura that did not allow others to come near him.

Everyone understood his personality very well, so no one dared to approach him.

After drinking a round with everyone, Gu Yubai sat beside him with a wine cup in his hand. He said with a faint smile, "Recently, the smoking habit has been really high …"

Lu Qimu looked at him coldly. "It's none of your business."

Gu Yubai curled the corner of his mouth, his voice lazy, "Eldest Miss Li, didn't you manage to get her last night?"

A sharp gaze landed on him, but Gu Yubai wasn't afraid at all. He slowly continued, "Young Master Lu, tell me, what are you thinking? "She's obviously worried to death, yet she doesn't let her know. And she's always being mean to others …"

"It's fine to be mean to others, but to be helping in the dark. Why do you feel so uncomfortable? Even looking at it …"

"Don't think that I don't know. Ever since you were young, you've always been interested in this girl. I've seen you secretly peek at her …"

"The point is, I just don't get it. You liked her back then, so you chased after her. Why did you have to find someone like her, Qin Xi'er …"

"With your Lu family's power, are you afraid that you won't be able to get a little girl? You have to wait for so many years and force her into a corner before you can take action …"

Lu Qimu took a deep drag on his cigarette, his eyes were frighteningly cold. "You talk a little too much today."

Gu Yubai lazily leaned against the leather sofa, smiling very casually. "If it weren't for the many years of friendship between us, I wouldn't even have bothered to care about such a crappy matter like this."

Lu Qimu's mind was filled with Gu Yubai's words, causing him to frown with annoyance.

Yes, Lu Yebai was absolutely right.

Why did he do that?

It was probably because he was the only person in his life he could not love.
