But perplexingly, the moment that mysterious Mr. Si arrived, he immediately launched a forceful pursuit of Jian Anning! And Jian Anning, she was so close to Yu Zexiao......
He always felt that this Mr. Si, with an identity shrouded in mystery, was very odd!
"Thank you for your concern," Jian Anning didn’t know what was on Lu Jiayuan’s mind. She merely thought that this man was acting up again, presumptuously pursuing her.
"No, I am really worried about you." Seeing the wariness in Jian Anning’s eyes, Lu Jiayuan grew even more anxious, "That Mr. Si, his background seems quite strange, you need to be careful."
"Enough," Jian Anning frowned, the recent pursuit by Situ Xuan hadn’t made her fall in love with him, but it did make her truly believe that Situ Xuan was a good person.
"What kind of men I deal with is none of your concern."
"Anning, I’m not joking!" Lu Jiayuan quickly explained, he hesitated for a moment, then spilled everything, "Actually, my coming to Huaxia Country wasn’t just to shoot a movie. At that time—I was also shouldering a special mission!"
"A special mission? What kind of special mission?" Jian Anning scoffed. She really wanted to hear what else Lu Jiayuan had to say!
"When I came here, Huasi Film and Television said they wanted to greatly expand their affairs in Huaxia Country and had a cooperation with Starlight Entertainment. I happened to be available, so I was sent over," Lu Jiayuan explained, "But, just before I left, I received a special phone call, allegedly from the biggest shareholder of Huasi Film and Television! I don’t know his name, but the person who contacted me went by ’MISS-YU.’ She instructed me to closely monitor Yu Zexiao’s movements! The rationale given at the time was that they valued Yu Zexiao’s potential and wanted to assess up close if he was even more valuable than they thought."
Jian Anning raised an eyebrow, this man’s story sounded quite plausible, "And then?"
"I originally thought it was just the company sending me to study his abilities. Who would have known... that MISS-YU actually demanded I report everything in great detail, anything related to Yu Zexiao! His likes, dislikes, hatreds, preferences. And—most importantly, the women around him! At first, I thought he and Jiang Xuanqi were an item, and that’s what I reported back. But later, I found out you and Yu Zexiao......"
Lu Jiayuan didn’t continue, Jian Anning glared at him. He immediately said, "Don’t worry, I didn’t mention a word about you and Yu Zexiao! But after that Mr. Si came, MISS-YU never contacted me again! Moreover, I asked my superior, the regional head for Huaxia Country, Abraham, and he said, within the company’s board of directors, he has never seen Mr. Si, hasn’t even heard of him! Abraham is precisely the person in charge of Huasi Film and Television here, yet he has absolutely not heard of a ’William Si’ existing!"
"So what?" Jian Anning crossed her arms, "As you just said, you were only temporarily assigned here and weren’t familiar with the internal workings of Huasi Film and Television before this. Besides, Huasi Film and Television has just recently restructured and integrated, it’s not strange for new faces to appear."
