“Weiwei, I’ve never thought of you that way. I just...”
“Miss Shen. You can rest assured about this. Although Lu Liting is my brother, the Lu family has nothing to do with him. He has also promised me that he won’t act as a member of the Lu family, to support your future career.”
The hurt and indignation in Shen Weiwei’s eyes somewhat paused.
With a determined face, Lu Liting said, “Yes, Weiwei! The Lu family is them, and I’m me. I didn’t reveal it to you because I didn’t think it was necessary. I can work up by myself and provide you with the life you want!”
“Wait!” Ji Qingqing interrupted Lu Liting’s emotional words. “Can we talk it out one by one? As for your own couple issues, you two can settle it slowly behind closed doors yourselves.” She looked up to Lu Lixing and aired out her grievances. “Your brother tried to hit me earlier. You need to give him a good lesson.”
Lu Liting once again got provoked by Ji Qingqing, and he exclaimed, “Ji Qingqing, don’t spout nonsense! I didn’t even touch you at all. You fell down on your own! And yet you still accuse me!
“There were so many pairs of eyes looking earlier and you’re still denying!” Looking at Lu Lixing, Ji Qingqing continued, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Director Zhou. They all saw it.”
Lu Lixing’s eyes shifted to Director Zhou.
Director Zhou was in a bind. Previously it didn’t matter as he wasn’t aware of Lu Liting’s background. But now, after knowing that Lu Liting was part of the Lu family, he wasn’t sure anymore.
“What happened, Director Zhou?”
The filming crew at the site began to disperse.
While walking past Lu Liting, Ji Qingqing smiled and whispered, “Today’s bitch-identifying lesson is free of charge. You’re welcome.”
She said all she could and did all she could. If Lu Liting still couldn’t see the truth, then it had nothing to do with her.
Lu Liting’s eyebrows knitted tightly as he watched Ji Qingqing’s back view with a mixed look in his eyes. He remained silent for a long while.
“Liting...” Shen Weiwei called him softly.
Lu Liting turned a deaf ear to her words.
Shen Weiwei’s eyebrows furrowed. She knew that Lu Liting now suspected her. Thinking of various ways to gain his pity, she forced tears out, and self-mockingly asked, “Liting, are you doubting me?”
Lu Liting lowered his brow. “Weiwei, don’t overthink it. I’m not...”
Yet when he recalled Ji Qingqing’s words earlier and thought about them carefully, what she said wasn’t entirely unreasonable too.
