"Song Xiao... Xiao Lu, what are you doing?"
After a brief moment of shock, the man instinctively gasped.
"Zhao Kang, you heartless bastard, you can't say a single edible thing!"
Song Lu's pretty face darkened. She strode into the house, grabbed Zhao Kang by the collar, and said fiercely, "If you dare to say such sarcastic things again, I'll kill you!"
Despite her harsh words, two lines of tears clearly streamed down her face.
A hint of guilt flashed in Zhao Kang's eyes. He turned his head away, trying not to meet Song Lu's gaze, but said with a fierce but weak tone, "You're doing just fine now, you have everything you want, why do you need to come looking for me, this burden?"
Snap!
His response was a slap from Song Lu.
The man opened his mouth wide, clutching his stinging face. "Song Lu, what are you doing? You actually hit me?"
"I'm going to beat you up, you spineless, careless bastard!"
While pounding Zhao Kang's chest, Song Lu cried out with tears streaming down her face, "For eight years, I've suffered so much for you, and yet you call me 'Miss Song' and say I shouldn't have come to see you? Are you even human? Have you lost your conscience?"
By the time she finished speaking, Song Lu was choked up and couldn't continue, and the hand she was pounding on Zhao Kang's chest gradually lost its strength.
Zhao Kang's expression shifted between light and dark.
A moment later, he reached out and pressed Song Lu into a chair, saying with a complicated expression, "You...did you..."
"No!"
Song Lu seemed to know what Zhao Kang was referring to, and immediately said decisively, "For so many years, I have been enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. It's one thing that you don't help me share the burden, but you actually say such sarcastic things to me?"
"Really not?" Zhao Kang asked, half believing and half doubting.
"hehe……"
Song Lu suddenly laughed, "Fine, very well, Zhao Kang, I must have been blind back then to have fallen for you. Since you don't believe me at all, then from today onwards, think what you want. I have nothing to do with you anymore!"
After saying that, Song Lu covered her face and ran away.
Zhao Kang stretched out his hand, but in the end, he let it fall, watching helplessly as Song Lu disappeared through the door.
He clenched and unclenched his fists, his expression changing rapidly.
A moment later, he slid down the wall and collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
"Xiao Lu, I'm sorry, I've been a burden to you for too long. I'm not good enough for you, and I don't deserve even a shred of your sincerity for a worthless person like me."
"I don't deserve it!"
"I don't deserve it!"
He buried his head between his knees, as if the whole world had been plunged into darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, he raised his head again, his eyes bloodshot, and a sinister look, as if he were about to face a raging inferno, appeared on his face.
“I’m already useless, but before I disappear from your world forever, at least I can free you from Jiang Zhenghua’s control.”
"If what I do next can bring you freedom, even if it means eternal damnation, I will have no regrets!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another figure appeared at the doorway.
Zhao Kang looked up, his expression immediately turning awkward.
Because the person who appeared at the door was none other than Song Lu, who had just returned.
At this moment, Song Lu still had tear stains on her cheeks, but a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"I heard what you just said!"
Zhao Kang blushed, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
When did you get back?
He turned his head to the side, his tone fierce but his voice weak, and said, "Didn't you already leave?"
"If I leave, are you planning to do something stupid?"
Song Lu went back into the house and hugged Zhao Kang, who was curled up in the corner. "Kang, I knew it. You deliberately made me leave, didn't you?"
"I...I..."
Zhao Kang wanted to argue, but couldn't find a good excuse for the time being.
Because he had deliberately made sarcastic remarks just now in order to make Song Lu despair and give up on him, so that even if she left him, she wouldn't have any psychological burden.
unexpectedly,
The other party was hiding outside and had overheard his mutterings.
That's awkward.
"Don't give up. I came to see you today because I want to tell you something very, very important."
While comforting Zhao Kang, Song Lu said, "I just met someone who not only told me a very cruel truth, but also gave us a chance to escape our suffering."
"What cruel truth?"
Zhao Kang was puzzled. "And who did you run into?"
"Listen carefully to what I have to say..."
Next, Song Lu recounted everything she knew, leaving nothing out.
...
Memories of the hotel.
Inside the penthouse suite.
"How's the plan going?"
As soon as Wang Qian entered, Wu Yanping asked eagerly.
"You're about to go on stage to perform, so don't ask me about my plans. Focus on the upcoming concert first."
Wang Qian waved his hand and said seriously, "Let's talk about it after the concert."
"Well... okay."
Wu Yanping did not force her.
At this moment, Wang Qian looked at Zhong Yiyi again and asked, "What's the difference between this concert in Linjiang City and the one in Nanming County?"
As Wu Yanping's agent, Chung Yi-yi helps with the planning and scheduling of many of her schedules and work arrangements.
This includes all the programs and content of the concert, etc.
"They are largely the same, with minor differences."
Zhong Yiyi responded, "However, in order to increase the loyalty of fans, I have arranged for Yanping to hold an offline autograph session after the performance, and we'll see how many fans come."
"Hmm, that's a good idea!"
Wang Qian nodded in deep agreement, "It can not only test Yanping's popularity in Linjiang City, but also enhance Yanping's affinity in the eyes of her fans."
"but……"
He then changed the subject, saying, "I'm afraid some people with ulterior motives might interfere, and if things go wrong, it could seriously damage Yanping's reputation."
"It shouldn't be that bad, right?"
Zhong Yiyi asked with suspicion, "Yan Ping doesn't have any enemies in Linjiang City, so who would want to deliberately harm her?"
"Human nature is treacherous."
Wang Qian snorted coldly: "Besides, fame brings trouble. Yan Ping's sudden popularity will definitely attract a lot of jealousy. If someone tries to do something underhanded at the offline autograph session, it will be hard to guard against."
"What should we do then?"
Wang Qian's words made Zhong Yiyi and Wu Yanping feel uneasy.
Whether it's a concert or an autograph session, if someone deliberately causes disruption, even if it's just a minor impact, it will be taken out of context and exaggerated by some people.
This would be a devastating blow to a famous artist.
There was a time when an artist was completely blacklisted for saying something thoughtless on a variety show.
Although what Wang Qian said may not be true, it is still necessary to prepare in advance just in case.
"Okay, Yanping, you focus on your performance. I'll go out and find someone; maybe I can get some information out of them."
Wang Qian stood up and added, "I will try to come back before the signing ceremony."
