Chapter 238: Wang Li Lei's Disapppointment
"That a wrap." Mr. Mi spoke for the whole studio to clap their hands after Xiao Yun's performance. Wang Li Lei seemed to be quieter than ever but Xiao Yun thought that he must have felt angry to Lin Chang Lu like her.
"Where would you be going now?" He asked, speaking from the side striding very languidly to match her pace. Xiao Yun hummed forming her thoughts and plan before coming up for words. "I would go to Chu Bing Luo's office first, I think."
From Chu Bing Luo's words, Zhi Ling Ling's manager must have received the order from someone and first she have to know who is this person. Knowing Lin Chang Lu who love to scheme perfectly she would guess that she had created a chain for this. A chain between Director Mo Gang and the person who ordered Zhi Ling Ling's Manager.
If meeting Director Mo Gang would be difficult, then her first move was obvious. She had to find out the clues from the manager to find a link to Director Mo Gang.
"I will accompany you." Said Wang Li Lei fixing his suit to wait for Xiao Yun to change her attire to a less conspicuous clothes so she wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb in the agency. When she finished wearing back her clothes, she exited the place to find Wang Li Lei having a dark as night sky expression. His dislike could be seen over his face that he didn't bother holding it back in front of all the staffs in the studio.
Jang Hyun stayed beside him saying nothing as he could also feel the chilling air in the studio that originated from him.
Xiao Yun walked over him, holding his arm to calm him down and as he saw her, his anger did calmed down. "What happened?" She asked and saw him furrowing his brows. "Grand father called."
Elder Wang. Xiao Yun thought, seeing Wang Li Lei's expression it must be something grave. "Did anything happened?"
"He is in the hospital right now." He said with a visible worry storming in his eyes. "You should go then, don't mind me." She held his hand comforting him. "Family is important, Li Lei and I will never hold you back from you to care for your family."
"I will see you soon." He rubbed her head, kissing her forehead gently.
"Mhm." And Wang Li Lei went off on a hurry along with Jang Hyun. Although Xiao Yun's relationship with Wang elders, especially Wang grandfather, wasn't well and could be place as a horrible relationship at one time. She never want Wang Li Lei who look at his family as a treasure to loss one again due to their strained ties. She knew how horrible it is not to have a family because in the past she lost her parents and brother and although she would give him one the future, his ties with his grandparents were different.
"Let's go then." Xiao Yun ordered to Hi Gu Yan who stayed not too far from her.
Wang Li Lei ran worriedly when he heard his grandfather in a hospital and received a new update that his grandfather had went home after he was released from the hospital. Entering Wang Household entrance, Wang Li Lei entered to be greeted with the housekeeper of the house. "Master, welcome back home."
"Where's grandfather?" He asked to the point and noticed a slight flinch on the housekeeper's face. "In the garden."
"Garden?" Wang Li Lei rose his brows. Why would he be in the garden when he had just walk out of the hospital? He didn't wait for the explanation and went off toward the garden.
After walking down a few turns and hallways, Wang Li Lei arrived at the garden's entrance and didn't wait for the maids to open the door for him. But his calmed eyes widened when he saw his grandfather sitting down in front of Lin Chang Lu and her parents.
He gather his strong brows all to concentrate in the skin between his brows, kneading his palm to a fist. Just a glance and he finally understood what happened. His grandfather didn't come to the hospital nor was he released from the hospital. When he think about it, everything was weird. If Wang Yongyi was really I'll then how come He was released in less than a few hours?
His grandfather exactly planned for feigning his illness and submission to the hospital to call Wang Li Lei indirectly to meet Lin Chang Lu and her parents to secure their engagement before he announce his engagement to Xiao Yun on their anniversary.
"Good, Xiao- Lei you've come. Take a seat." Wang Yongyi said with his delighted tone but Wang Li Lei's mood was in the worse he ever felt to his maternal grandparents. "You called me for this?" His cold voice made Lin Chang Lu and her parents to become startled.
Lin Chang Lu stood from her chair, pulling her skirt elegantly to reached out her hand to hold his "Li Lei let us sit down first."
Wang Li Lei avoided her touch. "Don't touch me." His voice was as sharp as a dagger.
"What are you saying, Li Lei?" Lin Chang Lu's mother, Lin Su asked with worries.
"No mother." Lin Chang Lu quickly calmed her mother. "Li Lei must have been surprised." She turned her eyes again toward Wang Li Lei with a glittery look of love that made him disgusted. "Let's discuss it together, Alright?"
"Is this what you were scheming?" His words wasn't a question but a statement. It didn't take long for Lin Chang Lu's eyes to turn gloom but it turn worse when she heard Wang Li Lei continued. "I'm disappointed in you."
Wang Li Lei was a cold man and everyone knew it well. His face and demeanor was as though he was created out of an icy mold. But rather than cold, he often had a hollow expression. Lin Chang Lu never dislike his expression, rather she found his coldness was what made him perfect as a human.
Seeing the revulsion and disappointment held on his eyes, she felt her heart sank. It was her ever first time to see him that angry.
"Xiao- Lei! It isn't Chang Lu's fault!" Wang Yongyi called him in hope he wouldn't vent his anger to the young girl that he preferred than Xiao Yun.
