Chapter 407: So Someone Was Talking Bad About Me Behind My Back
"In a country like yours, there should be many Chinese citizens who come here to study or whatnot?
"I won't say much about those who are already rich. Take this as giving to those who are still struggling in order to achieve their dreams. Please set up a charity organization. I want to donate all this money to them.
"I hope your country will be kinder to the Chinese who come here to make a living. What do you think?"
The girl's innocent little face was as bright as the warm sun in winter. She was fair and beautiful, like an angel.
A certain Count couldn't help but be a little stumped. After a moment, he said, "You're different from what I heard."
"Oh? The Count heard of me from someone else?"
Lu An was very curious. Although she didn't care what others said about her, she was still really curious to know what they said.
The Count didn't say anything else, however, but extended an invitation to everyone. "When the rain stops, everyone can go to my palace to rest.
"Although this place is really beautiful, you can't eat or sleep here, right?
"If all of you don't mind."
Don't mind, don't mind, of course we don't mind!
Who would dare mind!
Some who had still been secretly mocking the Count previously hurriedly switched to respect.
Lu An didn't have any objections. However, she said, "Oh, right, I heard that you clearly agreed to let our photographer use the location you provided, before you suddenly went back on your word. May I ask why?" She felt that he wasn't the kind of person who would casually agree and go back on his word to make fun of others.
"Er, this…"
A certain Count couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He could say that he had heard others say that she was hypocritical and pretentious, and that she always acted high and mighty, so he had felt disgusted… Then what?
A certain Count couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He scolded Qi Yan inwardly and blamed himself for being so gullible.
Ike and the others were also very curious as to why the Count had suddenly changed his mind.
To be honest, everyone was frightened by his every move.
Now, their gazes were fiery.
As for a certain Count…
"Hehe, hehe…"
Just as he was about to say something perfunctory, at that moment…
Qi Yan arrived.
Qi Yan had gotten someone to follow the Count after he drove away earlier.
However, the Count's car was too fast, and they weren't familiar with the roads here at all, so they got lost while following him.
Then, they heard that it was in an abandoned square nearby.
Initially, Qi Yan didn't believe it. However, when she saw the photos taken by the staff, she rushed over immediately.
Then…
"Lu An?"
Qi Yan saw Lu An standing with the Count, and the magnificent palace behind them.
At first glance, Qi Yan didn't realize that this was made of paper. She was dumbfounded, an indescribable expression on her face.
"Perfect timing!"
The Count said, "Why did you tell me that Lu An is a hypocrite and a fake? She clearly doesn't seem like it."
As a certain Count spoke, he looked very puzzled.
Qi Yan couldn't help but…
She glanced guiltily at Lu An.
Lu An immediately understood, and didn't stand on ceremony as she said, "Oh, so it turns out someone was talking bad about me behind my back?
"I'm sorry, but I'm not some kind person.
"Mr. Count, let me tell you, this person —"
Lu An turned around to face the Count. She pointed at Qi Yan and said, with the air of someone about to speak ill of others, "She plotted to frame my big brother and tarnish his reputation. Even after my big brother's reputation was cleared up, she still bit back.
"If she is your friend, I can only say…"
"Lu An! What did you say?
"You're slandering me!"
Seeing the change in how the Count looked at her, Qi Yan couldn't help but be nervous.
Lu An was really speechless. She said with bright eyes, "So?
"You didn't frame my big brother?
"And you didn't bite back after the matter was exposed?"
"I…"
Qi Yan couldn't help but be stumped. Could she say that she hadn't?
If she said anything, she would definitely be slapped in the face again. D*mn it!!
Qi Yan gritted her teeth in anger.
On the other side, the Count already understood everything.
He had no intention of saying anything else to Qi Yan. He just said, "You can shoot for the next two days, but leave immediately after you're done. I don't want to see you again.
"Oh, right, to prevent you from thinking too much, let me add that the reason I'm letting you continue with the photoshoot is that I don't want people to think that I'm someone who doesn't keep my word and can go back on my promises."
With that, the Count summoned Lu An and the others, then turned around and left.
Lu An had a puzzled expression on her face. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she had a nagging feeling that the Count's last sentence…
It seemed to be directed at her?
Forget it, there was no need to overthink things.
Although Qi Yan looked pitiful, it was all her own fault.
Lu An wouldn't be kind to wicked people who didn't know how to repent.
…
For the next few days, Lu An lived in the palace of the Count of Mount Louis.
Due to the sudden rain, her schedule was delayed for two days. Some photos were taken at the Count's palace, before they moved back to the palace that she had built herself.
Five days had already passed before Lu An returned to the barren mountain base.
A certain sulky Ling Chuan was about to turn into a balloon!
There were all sorts of rumors online about Lu An setting up a charity organization in Country X for the Chinese. Some even said that after Lu An left, a certain Count moved from his palace to the one she had built.
These were all news from overseas, and it was enough to make Lu An's fans excited for a while.
[Little Sister is too cool and domineering!]
[She's making our Chinese people proud!]
[But that so-called Count is too funny. No matter how good-looking the palace our little sister built is, it's still made of paper. He actually moved in? Hahaha, looks like he really likes it!]
[Ah~ I also want to live in the palace built by Little Sister!]
Everyone was left wanting more, and immediately went to watch Little Sister's variety show "You Direct, I Film."
Because Lu An hadn't filmed for several days, Director Li Zheng's stockpile of episodes was about to dry up.
If Lu An didn't come back today, they could only replay or stop the broadcast.
Fortunately, Lu An finally returned, and Director Li Zheng was prepared to start filming.
On the other side, Lu An was still looking for someone who seemed to have disappeared!
