Chapter 49 - Hmmmm
Chapter 49: 049: Hmmmm
“Qianqian, why did you call me so early in the morning? How are you doing in the Zhan family?”
“I’m fine, father. Remember when you asked me for a loan? Didn’t you mention that your company is short on funds? Why did I just hear that you are now investing 100 million yuan into the factory that Qin Yi’s mother owns?”
“WHAT?” The voice on the other end of the call suddenly rose, exclaiming, “When did I say that I would be investing 100 million yuan?!”
Qin Yi already knew that this was going down the wrong way. Just as he went to open his mouth, a glare from Jing Qian frightened him so badly that all the words became remained inside his throat.
At this moment, Jing Qian’s eyes were like a venomous snake, making him feel that as soon as he spoke, he would be poisoned to death.
“Could you ask Xiao Lu to come onto the phone? I have a movie opportunity here and I wanted to see if she would be interested.”
Jing Qian smiled. The edge of her lips rose as she looked at the face that was bitter just a moment ago. The same face was now filled with extreme embarrassment. This delicate-looking woman had a vicious look in her eyes; they were glistening seductively with a hint of chilliness present.
On the other end, Father Jing’s voice rang again, “Really? You should quickly call Xiao Lu. She went to Yanjing’s house yesterday, this girl who she’s really close to in her class. Yanjing’s parents were going to be out of town these two days and she was afraid of being alone, so Xiao Lu decided she would keep Yanjing company.”
“Yanjing? I don’t think she’s in H City.”
“Oh, since the next two days are holidays, Jing Lu decided to make a trip to Yanjing’s house. You should directly contact Xiao Lu, or I can make the call as well. But tell me about this movie. What is the genre of the movie that you chose for Xiao Lu? Who’s the director? Will Xiao Lu be the first female lead or the second?”
Beginning to talk about Xiao Lu, Father Jing started talking non-stop.
Jing Qian looked at Jing Lum who was now as pale as a dead person, with a smile that said, ‘Gotcha, you dirty provocative b*tch.’
Then, she answered her father, “Oh, there’s no need for that now. I suddenly remembered that they’re giving this movie to another artist.”
“Eh? How could you…”
Father Jing’s voice was filled with a mixture of confusion and anger, but Jing Qian had already ended the call.
All three of them froze in surprise upon seeing her action.
At that moment, all of them were feeling extremely awkward.
“She’s here for the document? Your mother wants to cooperate with my father? Hmmm…”
The ‘hmmm’ in the end was the reaction you would have after tasting the world’s best green tea.
The look on Qin Yi’s face was extremely ugly. He had no other choice but to continue spewing bullsh*t.
“Qianqian, listen to me. It’s not what you think. Xiao Lu and I are innocent! Last night, she did go over to her friend’s place, and coincidently, I was there for a shoot. There, I met Xiao Lu when she and her friend, Yanjing, were being bullied by a bunch of gangsters.
“I managed to save them, but she had injured her ankle, which is why I brought her home. She was worried that Uncle Jing might scold her, so she decided to stay here for the night.
“When you came barging into my house this morning, she got nervous and made up a lie. Qianqian, don’t you trust me?”
As soon as he wasn’t talking, Qin Yi heard the sound of a call being answered once again.
“Hello?” a familiar voice said from the phone, and Qin Yi could feel his heart sinking.
“Brother Liu, I made plans with Brother Qin to go to Huzhen yesterday, but I can’t seem to contact him. Where was he yesterday? Is he dating someone else behind my back?”
