Chapter 51: Yet Another Ex-boyfriend
"Did you find out who they are?" Lu Tingxiao’s expression implied that once he knew who they were, he would kill them on sight.
Lu Jingli knocked on the table. "That is what I wanted to tell you. Even with my intelligence network, I’m actually drawing blanks at finding out who they are. It looks like we can only wait for them to make another move before we can try again."
But the Big Demon King looked like he could kill someone now, could he actually wait until they made another move?
Lu Tingxiao immediately made a phone call, and said in a tone as cold as the wind coming off a glacier, "Cheng Feng, help me investigate two people."
Lu Jingli’s face was extremely surprised. "Wow, you’re even using your
His gossip network couldn’t be compared with his brother's intelligence network, which could dig up a person’s secret past as long as there was even the smallest clue to work with.
"Brother, I told you before, Ning Xi’s past isn’t simple, do you believe me now? I think you should tell Cheng Feng in passing to also investigate Ning Xi properly!" Lu Jingli suggested meaningfully.
"That isn’t necessary." Everyone had a past that they didn't want to tell others about. He wouldn’t touch what she didn't want to be touched. If she wanted to tell him, then she would tell him.
Filming finally wrapped up at six o’clock in the evening.
The main scenes today were all of the male and female leads. There weren’t many shots of Ning Xi, but she still had to appear in the scene, acting like a vase for the whole day.
Being a vase was also very tiring. She felt like her neck was about to break from wearing such a heavy costume, and her body was also breaking out into a rash.
After changing her clothes and getting her makeup removed, she put on a mask as she prepared to take the subway.
She wasn’t famous yet, so nobody knew her. It was very convenient to take the subway, plus she didn’t have to deal with traffic jams.
She was about to walk towards the station, when a black Maserati pulled up beside her.
The car window rolled down, and Su Yan smiled at her. "Xiao Xi, let me drive you home!"
Ning Xi: "…"
Ex-boyfriend…
Why was it yet another ex-boyfriend…
Couldn’t they just let her have some peace and quiet?
"No need." Ning Xi walked away directly, as she didn’t want to see his disgusting face.
However, Su Yan refused to leave, and drove slowly after her. "Xiao Xi, can we talk?"
Ning Xi sneered. "What is there to talk about? Do you hate the fact that there aren’t enough scandals about me today? Do you want someone to take a photograph of us and send them an even bigger scandal?"
Su Yan frowned, a little unused to these cold words and attitude from a girl who before had listened to and done everything he said. "Xiao Xi, that’s not what I meant, I do have something important to talk to you about!"
Ning Xi was afraid they really would be photographed if she continued tangling with him on the street.
This guy’s car was too eye-catching.
Ning Xi looked left and right to make sure there was nobody around, then quickly opened the door and got in the car.
Half an hour later, in a room at some restaurant.
Su Yan called the waiter over and ordered a number of dishes, most of which were Ning Xi’s favorites. "Xiao Xi, I haven’t seen you in a long time, so I don’t know whether your taste has changed. How have you been all these years overseas? I sent you some money, but you returned it all to me, and in the end changed your bank account number…"
"Say what you want to say." Ning Xi put her hand against her head and buried herself in texting Little Treasure, letting him know that she would be back a little late.
Resignedly, Su Yan pushed a check at her.
Out of the corner of her eye, Ning Xi gave the check for eight million yuan a quick glance before narrowing her eyes. "What is the meaning of this?"
Su Yan’s eyes became stern. "Xiao Xi, don’t do anything that you will regret."
Ning Xi put down her phone and looked at him with a disingenuous smile. "Oh? Tell me, what did I do?"
"Then tell me, how did you get this role?" Su Yan said abruptly with heavy emphasis.
Chapter 52: Healing Kisses
"How do you think I got it?" Ning Xi crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back in the chair as she asked casually.
It seemed that Su Yan was worn out of patience, and he slapped his hand down on the table. "Ning Xi! You know better than me what a girl like you will encounter in the entertainment industry! Why do you have to be so stubborn about wading into these waters?"
"Heh, a girl like me…" Ning Xi smiled slightly. "What kind of identity is Young Master Su wearing to say such a thing to me?"
If she had been who she was back then, hearing this, she probably would have become hysterical.
Back then, Su Yan had told her repeatedly that he didn’t want his future wife to enter the entertainment industry, yet when it came to Ning Xueluo, he fully supported her. Even now, he still dared to criticize Ning Xi for the way she lived her life.
"Xiao Xi, even if we broke up, I’ve always treated you as my little sister, and I just want to help you. Can’t you be less stubborn? Take this money, cancel your contract with Starlight, and leave the entertainment industry!" Su Yan advised her earnestly.
"Heh, help me?" Ning Xi's lazy eyes suddenly became very cold. "Now that I think about it, I actually do need Young Master Su to help me with something! I hope that Young Master Su can help me tell the Ning family the truth, and testify in court that Ning Xueluo bribed two men to rape me. Will you help me with this?"
"Xiao Xi, I…" Su Yan paled. "If I do that, it’ll be over for Xueluo… at the most, her actions back then can only be considered an attempted crime. You were the one who entered the wrong room, and slept with someone else…"
Though it was the answer Ning Xi had expected, her heart still throbbed painfully. She sneered. "So what you’re saying is, back then, the two of you did nothing wrong? It was my fault she got me drunk, my fault I was drugged, my fault I was raped, my fault that I got pregnant with someone’s bastard and gave birth to a dead baby!"
Su Yan frowned. "Xiao Xi, I didn't mean it like that! Xueluo and I have already apologized to you for this matter, and have been trying to make it up to you for so many years. Why can't you just let it go?"
Ning Xi picked up her bag and stood up. "Heh, you ask me to let it go? When your Xueluo is raped by someone and has his bastard, you can shake hands with him and happily become a cuckold, then you can ask me again!"
Su Yan’s face instantly changed. "Ning Xi! How can you say such a thing!"
"Huh, I’m just talking about it, and your heart already hurts this much. You won’t know how much it hurts unless it happens to you, right? Expect me to forgive the two of you? I’m not that saintly!" Ning Xi stalked away after saying her piece.
What bad luck!
She shouldn’t have bothered with Su Yan, it had made her so sick that she didn’t feel like having dinner tonight.
She should hurriedly go back and cuddle Little Bun to heal herself.
As soon as Ning Xi reached the door of the Lu residence, she saw a soft, white little bun running towards her.
It appeared that he had been at the window waiting for her.
Ning Xi really was instantly healed, and she gave Little Bun a super big kiss as usual.
"Darling, have you eaten yet? I sent a message saying that you didn't have to wait for me, and you should be good and eat first. Did you do it?"
Little Bun nodded.
"Good boy!" Ning Xi kissed Little Bun again as a reward.
"You go play first, Auntie is going upstairs to change clothes and take a bath!"
Little Bun nodded.
The two people walked inside hand-in-hand.
Standing by a window on the second floor, Lu Tingxiao looked at the scene below him, and felt rather melancholy. He had never known he was such a jealous person.
He was even starting to envy his son.
As soon as Ning Xi came back, she had kissed his son, not just once, but twice.
While he could only look at her from a distance.
The first thing that Ning Xi did when she returned to her bedroom was to take. Off. Her. Bra!
It simply was torture to wear this thing on a hot summer day, alright?
She reached behind her to unclasp the back, then started to pull the bra out. When she had pulled it out halfway, the door behind her creaked open.
"Ning…" Lu Tingxiao barely said one word before he froze, his hand still on the door where he had pushed it open, and a startled look on his face at the situation inside the room.
