129: Chapter 133: Past Fate (1) 129: Chapter 133: Past Fate (1) Yu Zexiao didn’t like the feeling of complexity and haziness in the past.
He preferred the clarity that could be seen through at a glance.
Yet Jian Anning’s calm and deep demeanor now irresistibly drew him in, making him want to get closer and find out what exactly she was hiding in her heart.
—Was it about her ex-boyfriend?
Just thinking about this made Yu Zexiao feel terrible.
She had given her first time to that ex-boyfriend, and while at the company, when he pressed her, Jian Anning naturally showed a look of nostalgia.
Clearly, that man held a very important place in her heart.
Combining Zhao Ziyin’s and her own accounts, it seemed that Jian Anning may have only had that one relationship.
She wasn’t promiscuous and hadn’t followed the Western practice of changing boyfriends one after another.
He certainly was happy about that.
But the thought that she wasn’t changing boyfriends not because of him but because of that detestable ex-boyfriend…
made him feel even more annoyed!
“What are you thinking about?” he asked with a rough voice, thinking this.
“Hmm?” Jian Anning turned her head upon hearing his voice and shook her head, “Nothing.”
“Thinking about your ex-boyfriend?” Yu Zexiao had just finished speaking when he saw a flash of surprise in Jian Anning’s tranquil eyes, an expression that seemed to say: How do you know?
Indeed, she had just been thinking about Lu Jiayuan.
But unlike what Yu Zexiao imagined, she wasn’t reminiscing about the past but rather pondering what Lu Jiayuan’s arrival really meant.
Others might not recognize him, but she did!
A few days ago, at the restaurant where the drama team had a dinner party, she clearly saw that Lu Jiayuan was there too!
Just now, Director Li had also mentioned that Lu Jiayuan was one of the management team of that film company!
Meaning, from the beginning, the largest investor in “Rock Youth” was the film and television company Lu Jiayuan belonged to!
Why did he insist on coming to Huaxia Country to invest in such film and television dramas?
And soon after arriving, faced with the absence of the second male lead, he simply took on the role himself?
The gap from his return to the country, Liu Sicheng’s car accident, to his joining the drama crew, was a mere few days.
It was really too baffling.
The only consolation was that Jian Anning didn’t know that the new behind-the-scenes owner of the American Huasi Film and Television was Situ Xuan.
Otherwise, who knows if she could still sit still now, without thinking of running away?
However, several hours had passed since Lu Jiayuan had seen her on the set earlier, and she hadn’t received a phone call from home, so perhaps, Lu Jiayuan really hadn’t told the Cheng Family about her.
She knew the Cheng Family well; her stepfather was the kind of person with a steady disposition and far-reaching schemes—a sly old fox, to be blunt.
And her stepbrother, Cheng Zhikai, was definitely the impulsive type!
As for her stepsister, Cheng Tingting, she was the epitome of someone who reveled in chaos!
As soon as they heard any news about her, those siblings certainly couldn’t remain without reaction!
Of course, her mother, Jian Panying—she could feel that her mother did want to be kind to her, after all, she was her own flesh and blood.
But the many years of estrangement weren’t insignificant either.
For instance, regarding her engagement, her mother promptly sided with her stepfather, ready to sacrifice her daughter’s personal happiness for the future development of the Cheng Family without any hesitation.
But the fact that Lu Jiayuan was keeping quiet now didn’t mean he would always keep his mouth shut in the future!
