There wasn’t much of value on either side here, so Director Li adopted a hands-off approach.
Lu Jiayuan came over and said, "Moon."
Jian Anning was startled, and when she turned around, she just saw him approaching, her expression instantly turned cold, "Senior Lu, is there something you need?"
Lu Jiayuan gave a bitter smile, "Moon, even though I wronged you in the past, but... do you have to be so distant with me? After all, we were together for three years."
While the two were talking, Yu Zexiao, though displeased with Jian Anning, saw her walking alone and thought to argue with her. He wanted to ask her what she meant by not saying a word to him since last night until now.
Unexpectedly, upon following her, he saw Lu Jiayuan sneakily trailing behind her, the two of them walking one after the other.
Yu Zexiao’s face turned shades of blue! Without thinking, he followed them and saw the two stop to talk among the props.
Especially when he heard Lu Jiayuan say "we were together for three years," Yu Zexiao felt a surge of anger in his heart!
He thought to himself, great, he had caught them red-handed! He wanted to see just what these two would say or do!
So, he hid in the shadows and quietly listened to their conversation.
The smile on Jian Anning’s face disappeared, "Senior Lu, please make your point clear, can you not speak in half truths? And also, stop calling me ’Moon’!"
Lu Jiayuan forced a smile, "Moon... Anning, I was really wrong at that time. If I hadn’t succumbed to Thera’s seduction, by now, we would probably have been together already, right?"
Yu Zexiao was taken aback, he remembered, Thera was Jian Anning’s sister’s name! Could it be that originally Lu Jiayuan and Jian Anning were a couple, and then her sister stepped in, taking away her "future brother-in-law"?
On this side, Jian Anning’s indifferent voice came through, "There are no ’what-ifs.’ The moment you chose Cheng Tingting, you should have known there couldn’t be any outcome between us."
"But you clearly still..." Lu Jiayuan got a bit agitated, but seeing Jian Anning’s slightly cold eyes, he checked his words, his expression was one of pain, "These past few years, I haven’t had a girlfriend. I’ve been thinking about you, Anning, can’t you give me a chance?"
"No," Jian Anning said firmly, "There’s no such thing as chances. Don’t forget, we weren’t even in a relationship back then."
Disappointment flickered in Lu Jiayuan’s eyes, "But why can others? Let’s not talk about Yu Zexiao, even Si Weilian, you got along really well with him at the beginning. That Si Weilian is not a good person!"
Even though Yu Zexiao didn’t like Lu Jiayuan, he couldn’t help but mentally approve of this statement. Indeed, Si Weilian was no good person.
Jian Anning frowned, although she wanted to make it clear to Situ Xuan that there was no possibility between them, she wasn’t the type to be pleased to hear others speak badly of him.
After all, Situ Xuan’s consideration and gentleness towards her truly touched her.
"Please do not speculate wildly! Mr. Situ is a very good person."
When this came up, Lu Jiayuan felt very entitled to speak, "Anning, trust me, Si Weilian really is problematic."
