“Who are you calling a washout?! ” The girl who had sided with Zheng Ying exploded with anger.
“What do you mean by that? When our Sister Zheng Ying won the award, you were still nowhere to be seen! ” Zheng Ying’s assistant was also outraged.
“Ah, of course, you would know that. It’s been so many years since then? Why don’t you tell me about your recent works?” Luo Ying ignored the others and looked at Zheng Ying mockingly.
She wasn’t about to let anyone walk over her. If someone wanted to pick a fight, she would give them one.
Zheng Ying was on the verge of exploding with rage, but she was at a loss for words. It was true. She hadn’t produced any noteworthy works in years.
“Alright, alright! That’s enough!” Su Li rubbed his temples, feeling a headache fast approaching. “Everyone, stop arguing.”
“Director Su, make a decision now,” Zheng Ying said coldly.
“Director Su, I really like the script, so I don’t want to give up this role. I can guarantee you that if no one else is investing, I’ll invest. Even if all the investors withdraw their investments, you don’t have to be afraid.” Luo Ying stood her ground.
“Stop bragging. Do you know how much investment a production needs? Do you think you’re still the Madam of the Lu family?” Zheng Ying sneered.
She hated Luo Ying with all of her heart. Luo Ying had to leave. This was not just a matter of a character, but also something more important to her.
“In any case, it’s more than enough to fill the gap in Golden Willow Capital.” Luo Ying’s eyes were firm.
“Let me think, let me think, okay? Let me think about it for two days.” Su Li couldn’t deal with these two, so he could only buy some time.
The reading session ended on a sour note, and the stage was left empty.
On the way home, Luo Ying sent Chi Tong a message, asking him to investigate Zheng Ying.
Zheng Ying’s targeting had always struck her as very unexpected. Zheng Ying was never a part of the story, even though the original Luo Ying had angered a lot of people.
After sending the message, Luo Ying switched back to the screen and suddenly saw the date.
Luo Ying was stunned. Number 18? Then the day after tomorrow…
[Shall we have dinner together the day after tomorrow?]
Luo Ying hesitated for a moment before finally sending a message to Lu Zhao.
According to the plot, this was the day Lu Zhao’s mother left him. Every year, Lu Zhao would be in a bad mood on this day.
She thought that it would be better if someone could accompany him.
Luo Ying made a reservation at a famous revolving restaurant in the city. That night, Lu Zhao personally came to fetch Luo Ying.
“Why the sudden invitation?” While waiting for the red light, Lu Zhao tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and asked lightly.
I wanted to try out this new restaurant’s dish, but there was nobody available to go with me. Luo Ying did not state the reason directly. She pretended she didn’t notice or care and made up an excuse on the spot.
After all, she had no intentions of probing Lu Zhao with questions about the painful topics he preferred to avoid.
Unfortunately, Lu Zhao’s mind was not tuned into the same frequency as Luo
Ying’s.
Everyone else was busy, and he was the only one left to ask. Lu Zhao’s eyes were a little dim.
In the dining room, however, he still took great care to ensure that Luo Ying had everything she needed.
Lu Zhao looked out the window at the cityscape while he swirled his wine glass. His eyes betrayed a hint of melancholy. “Actually, today is the day my mother left me. Thank you for accompanying me today, Luo Ying.”
Luo Ying comforted him. “If you want, you can tell me. You might feel much better if you tell me.”
“My mother left after sending me back to the Lu Family. Old Master Lu never allowed her to see me. In the beginning, she was still living in Lan City. At that time, I naively thought that as long as I could shake off the Lu Family’s surveillance, I would be able to see my mother. I simply made plans on how to escape every day, but I never thought about the consequences if I was discovered. ”
“And then? You… Were you discovered?” Luo Ying asked.
“Yes, how meticulous can a child’s plan be?” Lu Zhao smiled bitterly. “Old Master Lu was at the height of his power at that time. He could almost know where I was with just a flick of his finger. After he found out that I had secretly gone to look for my mother, he did not punish me at all. At first, I thought he had acquiesced, but now that I think about it, it’s really funny.”
Luo Ying gently held Lu Zhao’s hand on the table, hoping to give him some strength.
“He never punished me, but he would punish my mother. From that day on, no matter how hard I tried to find her, I could never contact her again. I’m the one who did this.” Lu Zhao silently took a sip of wine.
“Lu Zhao, it’s not your fault. Don’t punish yourself, okay? Have you found any new clues in the past few years?”Luo Ying comforted him..
