Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 520 - 518: Still No Girlfriend at This Age

"Was that part of the conversation recorded just now?"

"Big brother, you can count on me to handle things. If anything goes wrong, we can just pin it on that woman."

Biao Ge nodded in satisfaction, "Get the guys ready, we’re taking action tonight."

"Tonight?" The henchman was exceedingly surprised.

"The mere thought of that woman makes me feel disgusted from head to toe, no, we’re not waiting anymore, we’re going now!"

Henchman: "....."

After changing clothes and removing her makeup, Xiao Qing heard a knock on the door of the makeup room.

Gu Li went to open the door and saw it was Yang Zi, "Senior Yang Zi, may I ask what you need?"

"I want to discuss the script with Actress Xiao."

Gu Li glanced at him awkwardly. These days a simple script discussion in a room could lead to headline news; she dared not let him in.

Seeing Gu Li still guarding the door without letting anyone in, Xiao Qing asked her, "Who is it?"

"It’s Senior Yang Zi."

Yang Zi, who was outside, heard Xiao Qing’s voice as well and called out past Gu Li, "Actress Xiao, I want to discuss a few issues with you."

There was no response from inside. As Yang Zi was about to leave, thinking she was reluctant, the door opened and Xiao Qing came out, "Come in."

Gu Li looked at Xiao Qing worriedly but saw her shake her head. Xiao Qing then opened the door wide, took a chair, and sat a meter away from the doorway, while Yang Zi sat on the sofa inside the room.

Seeing this, Gu Li finally felt at ease. It looked like Xiao Qing also didn’t want to get wrapped up in rumors, choosing such a manner to speak with him that neither offended Yang Zi nor raised the risk of scandals.

Yang Zi naturally understood her intentions as well, and without a word, he took out the script, found a few places, and rehearsed with her.

About an hour later, they had finished rehearsing.

Yang Zi smiled and said, "It’s no wonder you’re an Actress, I’ve learned a lot!"

Xiao Qing smiled faintly, "You’re too modest. Strictly speaking, you’re my senior. If there’s anything I haven’t done well, please point it out."

Knowing she was speaking politely, he didn’t dwell on it, "How about dinner tonight? My sister said she wanted me to take good care of you, her friend, so nobody would dare bully you."

Xiao Qing was startled, then realized his sister was Yang Qiao, and she couldn’t help but laugh, "Yang Qiao actually wants me to supervise you, right? She always says you’re at that age and still without a girlfriend; she worries herself to sleep over it..."

"Stop!"

Yang Zi held his forehead, wondering just how much nonsense his unreliable sister had told others. Why did everyone see him this way?

He didn’t have a girlfriend?

An image flashed quickly through Yang Zi’s mind, and he pursed his lips, not dwelling on that thought any longer, "Do you want me to give you a ride home?"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Li turned him down, "Sorry, Senior Yang Zi, Sister Qing has to go pick up the kids from school, we won’t trouble you this time."

As they spoke, the group reached the temporary parking lot of the movie set.

Yang Zi walked to his car, "Are you sure I can’t treat you to dinner?"

"No need," Xiao Qing walked to her car, "I and Gu Li still have some things to take care of."

"Alright, some other time then."

Yang Zi waved, opened his car door, and got in. Before he could close the door, he heard a sharp scream, followed by the screeching sound of tires rubbing against the ground.

Yang Zi instinctively looked outside, only to see Xiao Qing being forcibly dragged into a van. Just as he got out of his car, the van closed the door and sped away.
