“Lu Nanze!”
Qiao Lian shouted at the phone with anger.
Lu Nanze laughed derisively. “A mere famous actor vying for my woman. He thinks too highly of himself!”
She bit her lip and said, “Lu Nanze, you won’t attain your goal.”
The man continued to laugh. “Oh? It’s fine if you do not wish to leave him. Let’s see if he wishes to leave you.”
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank at these words. “What do you mean?”
He replied, “There’s a meeting at the filming location today. I wouldn’t mind if you attended it.”
Then the line went dead.
As though she had just remembered something, Qiao Lian shot up from her seat. When she was about to leave the room, she suddenly thought of Lu Nanze’s despicable ways.
No, she must not leave the hotel.
What if she got caught by Lu Nanze again?
She must wait here, wait for Shen Liangchuan to return and tell her what had happened.
Where Lu Nanze was concerned, she believed in her Zi Chuan.
–
In a meeting room at the filming location.
Song Cheng sat next to Shen Liangchuan.
He was feeling most unsettled and cast occasional glances at Shen Liangchuan.
The latter had always preferred to be casual. During filming, he disliked being forced to wear a suit and leather shoes, as they affected his mood.
But now he was wearing his best suit in the wardrobe that he had brought with him.
It set him apart, making him look exceptionally handsome.
As Song Cheng’s thoughts were wandering, the door to the meeting room swung open all of a sudden.
He turned to look and saw Lu Nanze walking in with long and elegant strides.
He was wearing a white suit with a purple tie, and that sinister but charming smile on his face.
The moment he strode in, Shen Liangchuan turned to look and as he did so, his aura seemed to instantaneously expand.
Side by side, the two men were like two suns. Their presence almost choked everyone else in the room, as the group held their breaths and looked at the two with rapt attention.
Shen Liangchuan’s expression was vague, as always, as though nothing really mattered.
Lu Naze gazed at Shen Liangchuan with rare admiration.
It was no wonder that Qiao Lian had married him. Lu Nanze could tell from this man’s unruffled and steadfast bearing that he was indeed no ordinary person.
He recalled what his assistant had said a few days back.
The male lead, Best Actor Shen from the cast, had wanted to invite him to dinner with the purpose to discuss the investment.
Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank as he took another step forward.
Slowly, he strolled up to Shen Liangchuan. Seeing that the man made no move to stand up and exchange greetings, he sat down in the opposite seat on the other side.
The filming crew’s Director Wang was now stumped and dumbfounded, not daring to speak as he couldn’t afford to offend either of the men.
For sure, Shen Liangchuan’s influence in the entertainment industry was great. Even if the investor pressured him, it was upsetting. Only a few members of the crew had been ignorant enough to be bought over by the investor, to spread malicious rumors about the Best Actor.
In the end, who knew what would happen to these fools?
As the director was thinking, he saw Lu Nanze suddenly push a document towards Shen Liangchuan. He said to the Best Actor, “This is what our company has planned in terms of investing in your company. Mr. Shen can take a look, if you’re interested.”
“Apart from this, I am also willing to come forward and help correcting the recent shifts in the public opinion of Mr. Shen. The filming crew would even be willing to overlook the fact that you neglected your responsibility and left the location during filming.”
“Of course.” Having said this, Lu Nanze interlocked his fingers over his knee and leaned back into his seat. He looked elegantly at Shen Liangchuan and continued, “The prerequisite for this to happen is that you divorce her.”
