Xia Junyue's voice came through the microphone: "What do you want with that woman?"
"Uncle!" Lu Qingyan called out happily. Xia Junyue could imagine her beaming face even through the phone.
“There happens to be someone in our dorm who is her sister, and I’m curious to know if they have a good relationship.” Judging from Zhou An’an’s current behavior, money is definitely very important to her. If she had to choose between money and family, what would she choose?
Xia Junyue's face immediately fell. Although he usually had a blank expression, it was hard to tell if his face fell or not.
"Did someone bully you?"
"Yeah, Uncle. She went too far, posting on the forum saying I was being kept by you! Now so many people are criticizing me..." Lu Qingyan's voice trailed off: "Uncle, I don't want to be in a relationship right now. I was just using you as a shield, how come so many people dislike me?"
"Xi Xi." Xia Junyue was never good at comforting people, and he was speechless for a moment after listening to Lu Qingyan's tearful complaints.
Then he heard Lu Qingyan complain, "It must be because my uncle is too handsome that other people have designs on him."
Hearing Lu Qingyan's serious voice, Xia Junyue smiled.
"Alright, I know you're full of clever ideas. Just tell your uncle what you want to do. I have plenty of manpower here," Xia Junyue assured him.
Lu Qingyan's eyes darted around: "Then, Uncle, you should have someone lock up Zhou Duoduo, and then call Zhou An'an and tell him not to be too greedy and that he'll release her sister if he comes up with two million." It's always the villainous female supporting character who kidnaps the female lead; this time, she's determined to have the female lead kidnap the villainous female supporting character.
Hmm, this feels pretty good.
Xia Junyue's men are quite efficient; within half an hour, news came that the tasks assigned to him had been completed.
"Don't worry, Miss. Even if she had wings, she wouldn't be able to fly out of here, let alone be a weak woman."
Lu Qingyan nodded: "Then I'm relieved. You all keep a close eye on them."
Two hours later, Lu Qingyan's phone suddenly rang, and Zhou Duoduo's sobbing voice came through: "Xixi, only you can help me this time, you must help me!"
Lu Qingyan casually turned a page of the book in her hand and asked her, "Oh, what happened?"
"Yes, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have bothered you, but among all the people I know, only you can help me." Zhou An'an sobbed as she spoke, her voice so melodious and graceful that it rivaled that of a professional actor on stage.
Even though she already knew the truth, Lu Qingyan still pretended to be impatient and said, "If you don't say what it is, I'm hanging up."
"Xixi, my sister has been kidnapped."
"I've never heard of you having an older sister. Besides, since something like this happened to her, shouldn't you have called the police? Why are you calling me?" Lu Qingyan said sarcastically. "You're calling now because the kidnappers want a ransom and you're asking me for money?"
"Xi Xi, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have—" Zhou An'an was interrupted by Lu Qingyan halfway through her sentence: "Since you know you shouldn't, you should stay even further away from me. In your eyes, I'm just someone who's being kept by someone, where would I get so much money? Don't you think so, Xu Ni Chang'an?"
Lu Qingyan only heard a "bang" on the other end of the call before her phone showed that the call had ended.
"Sigh, that shouldn't be the case. Hanging up like that isn't like her at all." Lu Qingyan stared at her phone for a while, puzzled.
