Chapter 1221 The tone is wrong
"That's good. Don't stand outside. Come in!" Li Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took Nie Yao's hand and walked into the office, not forgetting to close the office door to prevent anyone from coming in to disturb them.
"What would you like to drink, tea or coffee?" Li Jinxing picked up the cup he had prepared for Nie Yao and was about to make a drink for her.
"Whatever..." Nie Yao replied in a light tone.
"Then let's have some tea. Someone just sent me some new tea leaves, and they taste pretty good..." As Li Jinxing spoke, he took out a can of new tea from the cabinet and started making tea for Nie Yao.
"Yaoyao, how is your grandfather? Is he in better spirits?" Li Jinxing asked Nie Yao with concern while making tea.
"Much better. Grandpa wants to be discharged from the hospital. I told him to spend the weekend there and wait until the doctor confirms he's fine before he's discharged!"
Nie Yao's answer was very formal and her tone was a bit stiff. Even though Li Jinxing was lowering his head to make tea, he noticed that Nie Yao seemed to be in a bad mood. He looked up at Nie Yao and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Did something happen? I felt that your tone was not right when we were on the phone just now!"
Nie Yao just looked at him deeply without saying a word.
Li Jinxing thought she didn't know how to start, so after making tea, he walked up to her, put his arm around her waist, lowered his head and asked softly, "What's the matter? Looking at your frowning face, is there something else that you can't tell me?"
Nie Yao raised her head and met Li Jinxing's concerned and gentle gaze. She sighed softly and said slowly, "Li Jinxing, that woman just now was Lu Heng's agent..."
Upon hearing this, Li Jinxing frowned slightly, shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to her nonsense. Even if she is, why did she come to my place to make trouble for no reason? I don't run an entertainment company..."
Nie Yao wasn't sure if Li Jinxing really wanted to keep this a secret or was just putting on an act. She whispered, "Then let me ask you, are you aware that Lu Heng's work has all been halted? I heard his film and television projects have seen funding pulled, and TV stations are afraid to have him on their shows. Even advertisers have terminated their contracts with him. He's practically been put on ice now."
Li Jinxing was stunned at first, then smiled nonchalantly, "Really? That's probably because there have been too many negative rumors about him recently. He's considered an artist who carries too much risk, so it's no surprise that he's been put on ice by his company!"
Seeing that Li Jinxing still refused to admit it, and even though Lu Heng's agent had appeared, he still pretended to know nothing and wanted to continue hiding it from her, Nie Yao could no longer bear it. She put her hand on his chest, frowned, and asked, "Li Jinxing, Lu Heng is the hottest star right now. Who would believe you if he was banned because of such a small matter?"
"What's there to not believe? There are always new and old people replacing each other in the entertainment industry, and he is not irreplaceable..." Li Jinxing raised his lips with a sarcastic smile.
Nie Yao's face darkened, and she spoke slowly, word by word, "Li Jinxing, at this point, are you still going to hide this from me?"
Li Jinxing's smile froze. Meeting Nie Yao's angry, questioning gaze, he slowly said, "Yaoyao, what are you talking about? What am I hiding from you?"
"Isn't Lu Heng's current situation caused by you?" Nie Yao looked at him coldly and asked in a deep voice.
