Lu Manman pursed her lips and did not say a word.
“I think I’m thinking too much,” Gu Xin said. “I heard that this is called worrying about gains and losses in psychology. The more you look forward to something, the more you’re afraid of losing it. That’s why you feel fear.”
“Gu Xin, have you thought about what would happen if the person you married wasn’t Di Yi?” Lu Manman suddenly asked her very seriously.
“How could that be!” Gu Xin insisted. “Unless I’m struck by lightning in this lifetime, I can’t marry anyone other than Di Yi!”
Lu Manman looked at her determined expression and smiled, but she did not say anything else.
The two of them chatted about something else, and the car drove Lu Manman to Mo Yuanxiu’s villa before taking Gu Xin away.
Lu Manman stood there and watched as the taillights disappeared. She turned around and entered the villa.
The villa was brightly lit.
Although it was not too late, it was not too early either. In the past, when Mo Yuanxiu was not around, it was usually dark. But now, because of him, the entire villa was bright.
He turned to look at Lu Manman in her gown and smiled. “You attended a banquet.”
“Mm-hm.”
“Alone?”
“With Gu Xin,” Lu Manman said directly. “It was a gathering in the entertainment industry, and I had something to discuss.”
He nodded.
Lu Manman headed upstairs.
She had been stressed out with her work recently, and she could barely take it anymore.
She returned to her room, removed her makeup, showered, and lay on the bed. She was so tired she did not want to move.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, her cell phone rang.
Lu Manman forced herself to pick up the call. “Hello.”
“I’m Zhang Wei.”
Lu Manman was stunned for a moment and seemed to have woken up a lot from her sleep. She calmly said, “Mm-hm, Mr. Zhang.”
“You will see the negative news about Jiang Xiaolian tomorrow.”
“Mr. Zhang is a smart man.”
“I just hope that I’m not mistaken.”
“Don’t worry. I will definitely keep my promise. Lu Firm’s next spokesperson will definitely be a newcomer in your hands,” Lu Manman said.
“Thank you very much.”
“You’re welcome.”
“I won’t disturb your rest anymore. Bye.”
“Bye.”
A smile tugged on the corners of her lips.
He had agreed to it so quickly and did not even ask Lu Manman to make too many promises. Instead, he had done everything first. It had to be said that Zhang Wei had probably thought of this a long time ago but had not made up his mind yet. Lu Manman had just happened to be pushing things forward.
Hence, in her previous life, she was sure that Zhang Wei had been the one who exposed Jiang Xiaolian.
Of course, this was not important to her. She was just glad that she had lived seven more years than others. Although the ending was not good, it did not mean that she had gained nothing.
She put her phone aside and fell asleep.
When she fell asleep, she felt like someone was by her side, but at the same time, she felt like she was hallucinating.
As she was too tired, she slept soundly and had no dreams the whole night.
When she opened her eyes, it was already the next morning.
She sat up in bed and picked up her phone to read the news.
Of course, she had not forgotten what Zhang Wei had said yesterday.
As expected, news about Jiang Xiaolian made the headlines: The video of Jiang Xiaolian hitting someone has been exposed! It’s shocking!
Lu Manman clicked on it and saw a video that was taken secretly. It showed Jiang Xiaolian hitting her assistant and cursing her in vicious language. She did not look like her usual nice self at all, and everyone was shocked. The netizens could not believe that the woman in the video was Jiang Xiaolian. It looked like she was filming a television drama!
