Chapter 496 - 484
Tang Yueze stopped Yu Sangwan as she was about to leave, "Miss Yu, aren’t you coming with me? If we find the young master, the person he’d most want to see is undoubtedly you!"
Yu Sangwan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Mr. Tang, you overestimate my importance. To him... I’m really not that important."
Tang Yueze naturally understood the implication of her words.
Tang Yueze hesitated before speaking, "Miss Yu, actually... in the beginning, the young master indeed had an ulterior motive, but his kindness to you is genuine!"
"Hmm." Yu Sangwan nodded, not denying it, yet her words were sharp, "But the premise is, I’m his ’Sleeping Pill.’ Without that, would he still approach me? Would he still think he couldn’t do without me? Would he treat me so well?"
Tang Yueze couldn’t respond. In truth, he didn’t understand women well. From a man’s perspective, the young master is good to her and only her—shouldn’t that be enough? Must they really dig into the details?
"Ah, Miss Yu, do as you please!"
Yu Sangwan’s mouth twitched bitterly as she caught up with the others. She thought and then turned back to look at Tang Yueze, "Mr. Tang, if possible... could you let me know if you find him?"
"..." Tang Yueze nodded helplessly, "Okay."
Although she refused to search with Tang Yueze for Lu Jinxuan, Yu Sangwan was clearly not in the right state. For one scene, she made many mistakes, requiring multiple takes.
Colleagues complained, "What’s going on? Can she not act?"
"She’s new, give her a break!"
"Hmph, endure it! I saw her knocking on the director’s door last night..."
The one who said this was the woman rumored to be involved with the director. Yu Sangwan glanced at her, shook her head in silence, and smiled. Her mind was entirely on Lu Jinxuan, leaving no room for these issues. However, Tang Yueze’s call never came through...
After enduring the shooting, Yu Sangwan quickly withdrew to call Tang Yueze.
"Mr. Tang, is there any news on Jinxuan?"
"Miss Yu, not yet..." Tang Yueze’s voice sounded spiritless, clearly at his wits’ end.
Yu Sangwan felt a lump in her throat, "Where are you now? I’ll come to you!"
"Uh..." Tang Yueze hesitated, "Miss Yu, it’s better to wait for news..."
Before he could finish speaking, the phone was snatched from him. Yu Sangwan was slightly stunned, "Hello, Mr. Tang?"
From the other end, came Mrs. Lu’s domineering voice, "Miss Yu, what did you do to my son to make him disappear?"
"I..." Yu Sangwan stammered, feeling somewhat guilty. Last night, Lu Jinxuan called her; if she had answered, he might not have disappeared.
Seeing her silence, Mrs. Lu vented her anger on her, "You come here immediately! If we can’t find my son, you’re to blame!"
After hanging up, Yu Sangwan smiled bitterly. It seemed Mrs. Lu didn’t like her at all.
When she arrived at the place where Mrs. Lu and Tang Yueze were, Yu Sangwan walked straight up, "Mrs. Lu, Mr. Tang..."
Upon seeing her, Mrs. Lu raised her hand without a word and slapped her face with a ’smack’ sound.
Tang Yueze was astonished, "Madam!"
Yu Sangwan covered her cheek, suddenly looking up to glare at Mrs. Lu, "Mrs. Lu, you are an elder, and I shouldn’t talk back to you, but... elders should act like elders! Being one doesn’t give you the right to hit people!"
"Hmph!" Mrs. Lu sneered, "So what if I hit you? If anything happens to Jinxuan, I have something much more vicious in store for you!"
"Really?" Yu Sangwan was unafraid, "Mrs. Lu, I know your Lu Family is powerful, but... there is justice, and I haven’t done anything wrong for you to act so recklessly!"
Mrs. Lu sneered even more, "Justice? Little girl, one day you’ll realize that the Lu Family... is the law!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Tang Yueze tried hard to interject, "Madam, Miss Yu, finding the young master is the most important thing now!"
"Mr. Tang!" A subordinate hurriedly rushed in, "We’ve found the young master!"
"Where?" Yu Sangwan unconsciously stepped forward, even ahead of Mrs. Lu and Tang Yueze.
Mrs. Lu and Tang Yueze looked at her, noticing that the anxiety and concern on her face weren’t faked.
At this moment, neither said a word. They were only focused on news about Lu Jinxuan. After walking for a while, they saw Lu Jinxuan being helped over by a subordinate. Just one look, and Yu Sangwan was shocked, covering her mouth, because of Lu Jinxuan’s appearance...
He was still wearing the clothes from last night, but now they were tattered and torn, as if... he had been through a battle.
Moreover, there were bloodstains on them...
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, "Jinxuan..."
Lu Jinxuan rested his hands on his subordinate’s shoulders. His gaze at her was no longer the same as before, cold as if he’d become a different person, and he looked away after just a glance.
"Mom!" Lu Jinxuan, upon seeing Mrs. Lu, behaved like a child, throwing himself at her, "You came to get me?"
Mrs. Lu was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted, stepping forward to embrace her son with a smile, gently patting his back, "Why so naughty? You stayed out all night? Didn’t you know your mom would worry?"
"Hmm." Lu Jinxuan rubbed his mother’s shoulder, "Mom, I’m so tired... couldn’t sleep, just wanted to wander around, it wasn’t on purpose."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu felt a twinge of sadness, her eyes reddening, "Let’s go home. The family doctor is waiting! Everything will be okay!"
"...Okay." Lu Jinxuan obediently complied with his mother.
While this was a normal interaction between mother and son, to Yu Sangwan, something felt off. Would someone like Lu Jinxuan act this way with his mother? Besides, she distinctly remembered Lu Jinxuan mentioning before that he wasn’t close with her.
She couldn’t pinpoint it, but she was puzzled.
Tang Yueze approached, whispering near Lu Jinxuan’s ear, "Miss Yu is here..."
Lu Jinxuan glanced in Yu Sangwan’s direction, his eyes like ice, "Let’s go! I’m tired."
"..." Tang Yueze frowned, "Young Master!"
Lu Jinxuan suddenly glared at Tang Yueze fiercely, growling, "Shut up, I know what I’m doing! She’s the one who doesn’t want him! Am I still supposed to care about her feelings? What’s so good about a woman like that?"
Mrs. Lu’s gaze flickered, "Yueze, get in the car with the young master."
"Yes."
Mrs. Lu herself stayed behind, as she had more to say to Yu Sangwan.
"Miss Yu." Mrs. Lu’s expression changed again to her usual smiling demeanor.
Yu Sangwan watched her cautiously, "Mrs. Lu, if you have something to say, please do so."
