Chapter 1816 - 1816 Old Liang Family Residence, Song Yanru's Resentment

1816 Old Liang Family Residence, Song Yanru’s Resentment
When they returned to the room, Qi Hao still had yet to react to his sister-in-law’s words. Was his sister-in-law saying that Lu Ningwen really would be fine? Then, who would be the one in trouble?
Qi Hao’s heart tightened. After closing the door, he hurriedly asked his sister-in-law, “Sister-in-law, what’s going on? Will Brother Lu really be alright tonight?”
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe his sister-in-law, but he was too worried about Lu Ningwen. He didn’t dare imagine Lu Ningwen following in He Liuqing’s footsteps.
Chi Shuyan was a little thirsty. She sat on the couch and poured herself a cup of water, then handed another one to the anxious Haozi. Qi Hao was also a little thirsty. He finished the water, then waited for his sister-in-law to reply.
His sister-in-law said, “Lu Ningwen’s luck today is pretty good; if Yun Yiyi hadn’t broken the rules, he would indeed have been the one in trouble tonight.”
Qi Hao finally understood what his sister-in-law was implying and reacted quickly. “Sister-in-law, are you saying that the person in trouble tonight is Yunyi?”
Chi Shuyan took a sip of water unhurriedly. “If I’m not wrong, yes.”
Qi Hao naturally trusted his sister-in-law’s words and was very happy. Between Lu Ningwen or that Yun woman, Qi Hao was naturally more partial toward Lu Ningwen, whom he had a better relationship with. As for learning that something might happen to that Yun woman, Qi Hao didn’t ask his sister-in-law to do something.
Firstly, he wasn’t familiar with that Yun woman at all, so there was no need for him to be a saint. Secondly, the other party had always harbored ill intentions toward him and his sister-in-law; his sister-in-law would have to be crazy to endanger herself to save that woman.
After learning that nothing would happen to Lu Ningwen, Qi Hao was completely relieved and didn’t question further. Nevertheless, he was still a little worried about Lu Ningwen, and couldn’t help but want to talk to the two of them, so he excused himself to go to the room opposite.
Chi Shuyan waved her hand and let him be.
As soon as Qi Hao left, there was a knock on the door. Chi Shuyan walked over and opened the door, only to see that it was Song Yanru.
Chi Shuyan wasn’t surprised to see her, and greeted her coldly.
Song Yanru looked a bit anxious. She didn’t ask to enter as she hurriedly said, “Master Chi, was… was there a misunderstanding before?” After a pause, she probed, “Did Sister He say something impolite to you before? Master Chi, I’m really sorry. I didn’t watch her well enough. I apologize on Sister He’s behalf. Please don’t dwell on it.”
Song Yanru mainly wanted to express her innocence and explain the offense which Sister He had caused. The more she thought about it after she returned to her room, the more she felt that the change in Master Chi’s attitude toward her was most likely because Sister He had offended her before.
Song Yanru was filled with indescribable regret. She was afraid that Sister He had told Master Chi that she wanted to kick her out.
But Sister He shouldn’t be so stupid. Still, even if she really said it, she couldn’t acknowledge it now. Song Yanru gritted her teeth and continued to explain, “Master Chi, Sister He might have misunderstood you for some reason before. Don’t take issue with her. If this hadn’t happened to Sister He, I would definitely have brought her here to apologize to you. Sister He has always been especially opinionated. Even if I interfere, she usually won’t listen given how stubborn she can be. I came especially to apologize to you on Sister He’s behalf.”
Chi Shuyan listened as the woman in front of her made herself sound good – as expected of someone from the entertainment circle. However, Chi Shuyan wasn’t stupid. She didn’t believe that He Liuqing would dare chase her out without this woman’s permission. Moreover, given this woman’s current status, how could He Liuqing dare disobey her?
Chi Shuyan was well aware of this in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face. She nodded without much enthusiasm and said coolly, “I see! Is there anything else, Film Empress Song?”
Song Yanru had originally planned to explain things properly and gain Master Chi’s trust, then take the opportunity to ask if the three of them could stay together. However, the other party responded indifferently and was chasing her away. For a moment, Song Yanru wasn’t sure if the other party believed her or not. She looked a bit embarrassed and wasn’t thick-skinned enough to bring up the three of them staying together; she was afraid that the other party wouldn’t agree even if she did.
Song Yanru knew that she couldn’t fall out with the woman in front of her at this critical moment. She gritted her teeth and could only say that it was fine, before she turned around and left.
After the other party closed the door, the solicitous expression on Song Yanru’s face disappeared. The dark look in her eyes was especially terrible and carried a hint of resentment. No one had ever dared to treat her like this.
Song Yanru completely forgot that she and Manager He Liuqing had offended the other party first. The more she thought about the Chi woman, the more indignant she felt.
Given her attitude, who knew if the other party would protect her – she might even harm her. The more Song Yanru thought about it, the colder her body became. No, she couldn’t die, she couldn’t die.
Anyone could die, but not her.
Song Yanru gritted her teeth and secretly resented Qi Hao. Coincidentally, Qi Hao suddenly opened the door opposite and came out. Qi Hao was also a bit puzzled when he saw Song Yanru standing in the long hallway, and he greeted her politely. “Film Empress Song, why are you here?”
Song Yanru gave a forced smile and said, “It’s fine, I’m just taking a walk!”
If it were in the past, Qi Hao might have hung around a little longer to get close to Film Empress Song. After being enlightened by his sister-in-law, however, he didn’t have the slightest intention of getting close to her, and there was no longer the initial admiration and warmth in his eyes. He replied indifferently, “Oh, then I’ll go back to my room first. Film Empress Song, take your time.”
Qi Hao’s cold attitude made Song Yanru’s face stiffen and turn ugly again. Qi Hao didn’t notice the cold look in Song Yanru’s eyes as she looked at his back. Her gaze shifted to Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen’s door and paused. Suddenly, she called out, “Wait, Haozi, you just came from Ningwen’s room. Is he okay?”
Qi Hao got goosebumps all over his body at the other party calling him Haozi. Who the hell was she to dare call him by his nickname? However, he couldn’t be too confrontational with a woman, so he could only ignore her address and reply, “Mm, I just went to Ningwen’s room to check on him. He’s fine. My sister-in-law said he’ll be fine, so he’ll definitely be fine.”
Song Yanru misunderstood his words; she thought that Chi Shuyan had helped that rascal, Lu Ningwen. Why should the person she had invited help someone else?
Song Yanru’s fingers subconsciously curled up and her nails dug into her flesh as she thought about the difference in treatment. Her expression was very uncertain.
“Film Empress Song, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to my room first. See you tomorrow!”
