Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I’m sorry to have taken up public resources during this period of time. During this period of time, there have been a lot of untrue comments about me on the Internet. I hope everyone can look at it rationally and not be used by people with ill intentions. Jin Zhan and I are not lovers. That time, we went to the hotel to deliver something to my sister. I didn’t expect everyone to misunderstand. In addition, I didn’t snatch the role from the female lead in the television drama ‘The Great Wall of War’. Song Xiao and I are just good friends. Please don’t speculate too much. Thank you.”
Although a short statement could not completely wash away the stain on Lu Rou’s body, it could temporarily stabilize the situation.
After some time, when the public opinion storm stopped, Lu He was prepared to let Lu Rou and Lu Zhen attend a few fashion news conferences together and show off their sisterly relationship in front of the media.
When the audience saw that the two of them were on good terms, their impression of Lu Rou would naturally improve.
Lu Zhen still had a few variety shows in the second half of the year. When the time came, he would let her bring Lu Rou along. This way, he could quickly increase Lu Rou’s audience and popularity.
As long as Lu Zhen was still in the Lu family, Lu He could always use her to pave the way for Lu Rou. Although this bit of dirt affected Lu Rou, it was not a particularly serious matter.
In the entertainment industry, prostitution, drugs, and tax evasion were the most terrifying. Lu Rou’s scandal was nothing.
Moreover, the netizens were a group of people with no ability to think. He was arranging for the ghostwriters and marketing accounts to clear Lu Rou’s name. In a few months, this matter would probably not be mentioned.
“Rourou, did you hear what I said?” Wu Yu saw that Lu Rou seemed to be in a daze and raised her voice a few decibels.
Before Lu Rou could answer, a voice came from the door.
“I think your father is back. He got off work quite early today.” Wu Yu hurriedly went to the door to welcome Lu He. After helping Lu He take off her coat, she went to the kitchen to get a bowl and chopsticks.
Lu He sat on the chair tiredly and looked at Lu Rou. “Rourou, I’ve already settled this matter. When Lu Zhen comes back, I’ll get her to bring you to the autumn news conference of a few brands. Remember to interact with her well.’
Lu Rou’s face turned even paler. She bit her lip and said in a trembling voice,
“Dad, did you see Lu Zhen yesterday?”
“Yesterday? No, this wretched girl has grown up. She doesn’t even answer my calls,” Lu He complained unhappily.
Hearing Lu He’s words, Lu Rou felt even more uneasy.
Was Lu Zhen dead?
Initially, the kidnappers had promised to report the results to her today, but she had waited for an entire day and had not received any news!
Could something have happened? The more Lu Rou thought about it, the more afraid she became. She was very nervous and was immersed in fear and dread every minute. An hour felt longer than a year.
“I’ll call her again. When her work is over in the second half of the year, I’ll lock her in the basement and starve her for a few days! This brat, she won’t know her surname if she doesn’t call for a few days!” Lu He cursed as he turned on his cell phone and called Lu Zhen.
Initially, Lu He thought that the call would not go through. After all, Lu Zhen had not paid much attention to him recently. However, to his surprise, the call actually went through!
The moment she heard the call go through, Lu Rou suddenly stood up from the chair. Her face was pale and her body was trembling, as if she was going to faint in the next second.
“Rourou, what’s wrong?” Wu Yu hugged Lu Rou in a panic.
Lu He also hurriedly asked, “Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
Before Lu Rou could speak, Lu Zhen’s voice came from the phone. “Oh, Lu Rou is here too? Are you feeling unwell? Have you been on tenterhooks because you didn’t receive the news of my death?”
“Lu Zhen, what do you mean?” Lu He was confused and angry. “Speak properly!”
Lu Zhen sneered. “Lu Rou, now you know. Not only am I not dead, but I also want to collect debts from you. Just you wait! Oh, right, don’t sleep too much at night. Maybe I’ll come and take revenge on you!”
After hanging up, Lu He was so angry that her face turned red. “Is this brat crazy? What is she talking about? What debt? What revenge? Rourou, what exactly is going on? Did you quarrel with her again?”
Lu Rou’s lips trembled and her breathing quickened. She suddenly screamed and cried, “Lu Zhen isn’t dead! She definitely won’t let me off! Dad, quickly lock her in the basement. Lu Zhen must want to kill me. No, I have to hide!” As Lu Rou spoke, she ran towards her room and slammed the door..
