"Sister-in-law, you're here. Come and sit down." When Zhao Longchang saw Lu Nian coming alone to keep the appointment, he quickly stood up, went to greet her, and pulled out a chair for her.
"Thanks."
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite to me."
"Zhu Zhixin and I are divorced. You don't have to call me sister-in-law anymore."
"Sister-in-law...Miss Lu, I'm sorry. I was negligent."
"fine."
"Oh, I really didn't expect Zhu Zhixin to be such a person. I thought he was just a womanizer... Oh, Miss Lu, you and Lily have suffered."
"It's okay, it's all over."
"Yes, it's all in the past. He has received the punishment he deserves. Miss Lu, you and Lily will have smooth sailing in the future."
"Thanks."
After that, the two of them had a very pleasant conversation. On the other side of the phone, Zhu Li, Lu Xinyao and Lu Hongyu were listening and couldn't help but sigh that Zhao Longchang really knew how to talk.
"No wonder my uncle told my mom to be careful. If she hadn't been on guard, she would have fallen for it.
No, what if my mother is still deceived by his illusion? "
Lu Hongyu: "No, if my aunt knew that this Zhao had other intentions and still let him deceive her, she would be a complete fool."
Julie: "But...my mom isn't very smart. She's been scammed so many times before, and she always got fooled."
Lu Xinyao: ...
"Have you two forgotten that what we say here can be heard by your aunt?"
Julie: ...
Lu Hongyu: ...
After hearing what his daughter and nephew said, the person on the other end of the phone almost bent the chopsticks in his hand.
"Nian Nian, are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Nian: "No, I just suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach. It's an old problem. It's always like this recently. I'm used to it."
"You can't get used to it. I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup later. This stomach problem can't be ignored."
"Longchang, thank you, but it's really nothing. Lily took me to the hospital for a checkup a long time ago. The doctor told me to pay attention to my diet and to relax. A good attitude and a good mood are especially important. But I... I thought I had let it go, but every time when it's late at night and everyone is asleep..."
Lu Nian raised her hand and wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes. Because Lu Nian had her head lowered, Zhao Longchang didn't know that Lu Nian wasn't actually crying, but was just pretending to cry.
"Nian Nian, you need to be more open-minded."
In order to prevent Zhao Longchang from realizing that she was acting, Lu Nian hardened her heart, pinched her thigh, and had to endure it without making any sound. Tears really fell.
"I'm slowly coming to terms with it. I need to take care of my body. I still have Lily."
"That's the right way to think." Lu Nian didn't see it, but Mi Duoduo and Huo Qi, who were watching the show on the side, saw it clearly. Even though Zhao Longchang quickly concealed his expression, they still saw a hint of resentment in Zhao Longchang's eyes.
Huo Qi: "If Zhao Longchang doesn't become an actor, his acting skills will be wasted."
Mi Duoduo looked at Huo Qi and thought about his current appearance. "Second brother, you were born in the wrong era."
Huo Qi: "Hmm? How do you say that?"
"If you were born before 1970 or 1980, you would definitely be an expert at making secret connections."
"I am still like that now."
"That's right, second brother. If you become a paparazzi, you will definitely be number one in the industry. Losing you will be a huge loss to the entire paparazzi industry."
"Okay, Mi Duoduo, wait until we get home and see if I can deal with you."
"Why? I'm praising you, isn't that okay?"
"Praise me for something else."
"Tsk, you asked me to praise you, and I won't praise you anymore?"
The two of them were talking in low voices, while Lu Nian was holding back his nausea and finishing the meal with Zhao Longchang.
"Nian Nian, I'll take you there."
"Longchang, thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. Lily and I have already agreed that she will pick me up later and we will go see my parents together."
"In that case, let's make an appointment next time?"
"Okay, let's meet again when we have time."
Lu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting into Julie's car.
"Phew—I'm dying of suffocation. This is so disgusting."
"Mom, come and wipe your hands and get rid of the bad luck."
Lu Nian took the hand sanitizer and washed her hands thoroughly. She also changed her clothes and coat. She had to go home and wash the clothes she had worn to see Zhao Longchang today.
Originally, Julie wanted to just throw them away, but Lu Nian thought that she would be acting with Zhao Longchang in the future, and she would definitely meet Zhao Longchang many times. It would be too extravagant to throw away the clothes every time they met, so she simply picked out a few sets of clothes that Lu Nian didn't like very much, and changed them into clothes. After the matter was completely over, she would throw them away.
Seeing Lu Nian's attitude towards Zhao Longchang, the people in the car were completely relieved. "Mom, this Zhao Longchang is really good at acting and pretending. I was afraid that you would be deceived by him."
"Am I the kind of person who jumps into a trap even though I know it's there?"
"But Mom, you've been scammed a lot before."
Lu Nian: ...
"Didn't I just not react at that time? This time, your uncle warned me in advance, and Xinyao and Hongyu also warned me against it. How could I still be fooled?
If I fall for it again, wouldn’t I become a complete fool just like what Hongyu said? "
Lu Hongyu: "Hehe, aunt, I was just asking a rhetorical question. I meant that you can't do that."
