Chapter 138 Huo: My Cat Can Do Backflips
This night was destined to be long.
Amidst the uproar online, Shi Nian went back to her rented apartment, took a bath, and then went to the balcony in her nightgown to enjoy the breeze.
The May night was breezy, but still comfortable.
Shi Nian checked her phone and saw a new message.
【This is Huo Yanmo, this is my number, please save it.】
Shi Nian could almost picture Huo Yanmo sitting at his desk typing this text message.
That's such an old-fashioned approach.
But she wasn't sitting here waiting for this message.
After a while, Shi Nian's phone vibrated.
She glanced at it; it was a call from Lu Xinyi.
After thinking about it, she decided to answer the call anyway.
"What is it?" Shi Nian asked.
"Shi Nian, my brother is sick," Lu Xinyi's angry voice came through. "He's in the hospital, all alone. Aren't you going to come and see him?"
Shi Nian frowned slightly and said, "Didn't he tell you?"
"What did you say?" Lu Xinyi was still angry.
Shi Nian thought for a moment, and then Lu Qiansheng's figure appeared before her eyes.
"It's nothing," Shi Nian said.
He might need a few days to tell the Lu family that they have divorced.
In this failed marriage, Grandpa Lu treated her very well, so let Lu Yanzhi speak for himself. However, if Lu Yanzhi doesn't speak, she won't keep it a secret.
"Shi Nian, you..."
Before Lu Xinyi could finish speaking, Shi Nian interrupted, "I know he's sick. Okay, I have something to do."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
She no longer needed to pay attention to such accusations.
Lu Xinyi called again, and she immediately put Lu Xinyi on Do Not Disturb mode.
Then, Shi Nian continued to wait.
She leaned back in the long lounge chair, gazing at the city lights.
This city is always so busy; even late at night, it is still brightly lit.
finally……
"Buzzing..."
Shi Nian's phone vibrated.
Shi Nian looked down and saw that it was a call from Grandpa Lu.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and answered the phone.
“Grandpa Lu,” Shi Nian said gently.
"Niannian." Lu Qiansheng's voice sounded old and tired. He didn't notice that she had added "Lu" before "Grandpa".
After calling her name, Lu Qiansheng didn't speak directly. Instead, he sighed and asked, "What happened between you and Yanzhi?"
Shi Nian didn't know how to answer.
"I know you're angry, about him and that Han Wei!" Lu Qiansheng's voice was clearly filled with anger when he mentioned Han Wei. "Your grandma said she'll go settle accounts with Han Wei another day!"
Another elderly female voice came from the side: "Yes, Niannian, we wanted that brat to handle it himself, but now it seems he really doesn't know what's good for him! I'll go find Han Wei myself!"
It was clearly the old lady.
Shi Nian's heart was filled with mixed feelings, including gratitude and helplessness.
She has already divorced Lu Yanzhi.
Furthermore, she has no intention of remarrying.
Therefore, whether the old lady goes to see Han Wei or not is no longer her concern.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Nian said, "No need."
"Nian Nian..."
“There are some things that Lu Yanzhi hasn’t told you yet,” Shi Nian said tactfully. “There are some things that I’m not comfortable telling you myself, but he will tell you later.”
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, then Lu Qiansheng asked, "Niannian, is there some problem between you two?"
Shi Nian looked at the stars in the sky, thought for a moment, and said, "It's nothing serious, but there are some things that he has to say."
Just like when he led her to kneel before the old man's sickbed.
Now, it's his turn to speak first.
"I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep now." Without giving the two a chance to ask any more questions, Shi Nian said goodnight and then hung up the phone.
Looking at the now-closed screen, Shi Nian breathed a long sigh of relief.
Now that I've hung up the phone, I can go to sleep.
However, before she lay down, she received a message.
Shi Nian clicked on it and saw a cat, which was doing a somersault.
The caption read: "My cat can do backflips."
"Childish." Shi Nian smiled, tossed her phone aside, and went to sleep.
On the other side, at the Huo residence.
Huo Er was playing with the rag doll that Huo Yanmo was raising.
"Backflip plushie, great job!" Huo Er nodded and fed the kitten a small treat.
"One more, do that 'Open! Open! Turn the tide!' thing, come on!" Huo Er was still training the cat over there.
But the kitten ignored Huo Zhiyao and lazily ran over, jumping into Huo Yanmo's arms.
Huo Yanmo smiled and reached out to scratch the kitten's chin, and the kitten purred contentedly.
...
Some things happened in the next two days.
First, the story of Shi Nian and Lu Yanzhi was posted online for one night.
Then, when I woke up the next day, there was new news.
This news is that the trailer for the short drama series "Micro Love" starring Han Wei has been released.
The drama is called "Wei Ai," but one character has been changed; it uses the "Wei" from Han Wei's name.
It tells the poignant story of two people who meet, fall in love, and ultimately one of them falls ill and dies.
In the trailer, the original studio demo played a role in bringing them together.
The scene was that the female lead was recording a demo while the male lead was actually listening nearby, but she didn't notice.
Another angle is that when the female protagonist dies in the male protagonist's arms, this demo plays again, reminding the male protagonist of the beautiful past and causing him unbearable pain.
The trailer immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.
Everyone likes to hear fresh gossip.
The gossip about Shi Nian and Lu Yanzhi is already yesterday's news; it's nothing compared to this.
"Waaaaah, I'm already in tears after just watching the trailer. I'll definitely be the first to support the short series when it airs."
"This must be the story between Han Wei and Lu Yanzhi. It's so pitiful. Just thinking about how Han Wei will die in Lu Yanzhi's arms in five months, with this demo playing, makes me feel like I'm dying of pain."
"Please launch it soon! I'll be the first to support it when it's online!"
...
When Shi Nian saw the message, he simply smiled.
She did hope that Han Wei would release it online soon.
That way, it will be easier for her to file a lawsuit.
I've only heard that Han Wei wants this short drama to pass censorship and be shown in theaters, so it will take some time. I don't know if Han Wei can do it.
Upon seeing the news, Shi Nian was arriving at Lu's company with his lawyer.
She handed the divorce papers to Secretary Zhou, saying she wanted everything that was rightfully hers.
This included former members of the Shi family.
"Secretary Zhou, please take stock. I plan to complete the handover in the next day or two. This is my lawyer," Shi Nian said, introducing Lawyer Xu, who was standing to the side, to Secretary Zhou.
