Just as Qin Wan was about to leave after seeing Xiang Yang off, she opened the door and saw Lu Zhao leaning against the wall.
"Want to chat?" Lu Zhao asked, looking at her with complicated emotions.
Qin Wan looked at Pei Yue behind her with practiced ease.
"Come in."
Pei Yue opened the door as if he knew the way well and gestured for the two of them to enter.
In the living room.
Because Qin Wan had just told us to drink less water and not to drink tea.
Therefore, Pei Yue simply invited Lu Zhao to sit down without preparing any tea.
She even took all the tea that had been prepared on the coffee table and put it into the kitchen, right in front of Lu Zhao.
Facing the suspicious gazes of Qin Wan and Lu Zhao, Pei Yue said calmly, "Qin Wan said that we have to film tomorrow morning, so try not to drink water to avoid swelling."
"Moreover, this is tea, and tea can easily cause insomnia and difficulty falling asleep."
Pei Yue, who is usually aloof, arrogant, and doesn't like to talk or talk to people, unusually kindly and patiently explained things to them.
"Thank you, Brother Pei," Lu Zhao said politely.
"You two can talk."
Pei Yue didn't disturb the two of them and turned to go into the kitchen.
"Are you alright?" Qin Wan asked with concern.
Lu Zhaojun looked exhausted, and he wearily pinched the bridge of his nose.
"It's quite tiring."
"But all of this has come to an end, and I can finally live my life properly from now on."
"And what about her?" Qin Wan asked again.
“I will give her two choices: either stay in China, I will send her a monthly allowance, and I will never contact her again, let alone see her again.”
"I will not help her pay off her debts of more than ten million yuan."
Qin Wan nodded in agreement; Lu Zhao's actions were perfectly acceptable.
"The other one is going abroad?" Qin Wan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes."
“If she is willing to go abroad obediently, I will not only send her a monthly allowance, but I will also help her pay off her debt of more than ten million yuan.”
As he spoke, Lu Zhao let out a long sigh, a hint of self-mockery flashing across his eyes.
He was tired...
I don't want to go on like this anymore...
In some relationships and in some situations, choices must be made.
Call him an unfilial son or call him cold-hearted if you will.
He admitted it.
This is Lu Zhao's fate.
"Which one do you think she will choose?" Qin Wan asked again.
"Choose one first, then choose two," Lu Zhao said with a self-deprecating laugh.
“She’s still not giving up and is still trying to control me, even after such a big thing happened on the show.”
"She will still feel that she gave birth to me and raised me, that she is my birth mother, and that I could never abandon her."
"In addition, I have helped her pay off too many debts over the years, which made her feel that she has me completely under her control."
"Adding to what happened on the show, she also tries to morally blackmail me; she always has to struggle with it..."
"She won't give up until she's desperate."
The moment of despair for Lu's mother was when Lu Zhao ruthlessly cut off contact with her and refused to pay for her selfish desires.
When that time comes, her creditors will pressure her, and sooner or later she'll be driven to desperation...
One day, she will come to beg Lu Zhao.
She begged him to help her go abroad and to help her pay off that debt.
That's usury.
"If this continues, you might not be able to bear the consequences in the end," Qin Wan kindly reminded him.
Lu Zhao pursed his thin lips, his expression slightly grave and unpleasant, but he still insisted on his own way.
“She never learns from her mistakes and will never be smart,” Lu Zhao said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan said no more, "Then do as you please."
...
After a brief silence, Lu Zhao looked up at Qin Wan, his eyes filled with guilt, "Sister Wan, I'm sorry..."
"Because of me, everyone was almost implicated."
Qin Wan shook her head, "Just focus on making good filming and earning money for me."
At this point, Qin Wan paused, then added, "Moreover, compared to other artists, you yourself are fine. You are excellent, and I don't even need to worry about you."
"As for... although she is your mother, her actions have nothing to do with you."
"Thanks."
Even though Qin Wan was telling the truth, Lu Zhao could feel the comfort and care she was giving him in her words.
"in addition……"
"I have a favor to ask," Lu Zhao said, his face showing hesitation.
"Hmm?" Qin Wan raised an eyebrow.
"I want to rest for a few days and get myself back in shape."
"What happened today... really had a big impact on me."
"I've already passed the audition for 'Three Realms,' so I might need to trouble Sister Wan to explain to the director and see if my scenes can be postponed."
"good."
Without a second thought, Qin Wan immediately agreed.
"I'll talk to the director about this. You just need to get some rest."
"Come back when you've adjusted."
Meeting Qin Wan's gentle gaze, Lu Zhao felt a warmth in his heart.
[Lu Zhao's favorability increased by 10, current favorability is 70.]
He and Qin Wan were not related, yet she treated him extremely well.
On the contrary, his biological mother, who was related to him by blood and was each other's only family in this world, was his biological mother.
But ironically, his biological mother treated him like an ATM, a money-making machine.
He doesn't care about his feelings or thoughts at all...
They didn't even care about his future or whether he lived or died...
Thinking of this, Lu Zhao felt a bitter feeling well up in his heart again.
"It's late, go home and get some rest."
Seeing that Lu Zhao's expression was off, especially the way his eyes were constantly changing as he looked at her, Qin Wan promptly interrupted his thoughts.
Lu Zhao snapped out of his daze and saw Qin Wan staring at the direction behind him, a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Zhao subconsciously followed Qin Wan's gaze and was caught off guard by a pair of deep black eyes.
“…Brother Pei.” Lu Zhao was in a daze for a moment before coming back to his senses.
"It's late, you should go back and rest." Pei Yue's expression was indifferent, but a very faint hint of wariness appeared in his eyes as he stared at Lu Zhao.
Pei Yue's intention to see the guest off was obvious, and Qin Wan also seemed unwilling to say anything more.
Lu Zhao was a smart man. He glanced back and forth between the two of them and understood everything in his heart.
"Then I'll be going now, so as not to disturb you any longer."
"Brother Pei and Sister Wan should also get some rest," Lu Zhao said.
Qin Wan: "Good night, don't think too much, take good care of yourself."
Pei Yue's voice was slightly cold, and his tone was somewhat unfriendly: "Take care, don't bother seeing me out."
Lu Zhao: "..."
-
After Lu Zhao left, Qin Wan also stood up and prepared to go back to her room.
Unexpectedly, she had just reached the door and grasped the doorknob.
The next second, a long, slender hand with distinct knuckles pressed against the door, preventing her from opening it.
Qin Wan looked up in confusion, glancing at Pei Yue with bewilderment.
"Is there anything else?"
Pei Yue narrowed his eyes, staring at her with a deep, unfathomable gaze.
"I'm not happy."
"???" Qin Wan frowned, her face full of confusion.
"I'm very unhappy."
Pei Yue emphasized his words, his expression growing increasingly serious, his burning eyes fixed on Qin Wan, attempting to express his intense dissatisfaction in this way.
